Peaceful home enveloped in a quiet, scenic landscape adjacent to a rocky beach.<br>
Gorgeous lake house located on the east shore of the Flathead Lake. The property includes a fruit tree orchard and a rocky beach, as well as a rushing waterfall in the front yard to bring you as close to nature as possible during your stay. This quiet home with a rustic cabin feel is located on water front property. You can walk down our own dirt-packed trail to the beach and dock. The driveway is lined with rock walls creating a secluded feel and leads to a grassy parking area adjacent to the waterfall.
The house has three bedrooms. There's a master bedroom with a large bathroom upstairs. Located on the main floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a jetted bath. There is a washer and dryer for your clothes as well as heating and air conditioning. There is a kitchen area on the main floor. The house has over 131 feet of lake footage. It was newly remodeled as of this spring.

From start to finish we enjoyed every second. We had two families of four visiting from Ohio. The incredible scenery from the property makes it hard to get away, but it helped for us non planners. Highly recommend for families. Kids and adults had a great time one the dock, however there is no ladder.
We convened a group of 8 of us for a post-Thanksgiving wind down. It was the perfect space to relax, taking in the lake views. Couldn't recommend it more!
Excellent Location/Views, Could Use Help in Kitchen/Towels
Location: 10; Views: 10; Privacy: 10; Property grounds: 10. Overall an amazing stay for our extended family and we loved it. You just can't say enough about the view, water access, large deck, and the property grounds. We would definitely stay again, but bring more of our own gear. Suggestions for what you need to bring yourself: Our family cooks a lot and the kitchen gear is lacking - pots/pans are destroyed, only 1 decent serving bowl, no platters or trays, no food storage containers or saran wrap, so if you're a cooking family bring it all yourself (or make a trip to Walmart to buy it like we did, which is unfortunate given the rate charged for this home). Towels are minimal - only 1 dishcloth for the week (again Walmart saved us here and there were paper towels to be used as a substitute), bathrooms only had 1 hand towel for the week, beach towels are old bath towels. Having to do laundry on vacation was a first for me (I've been renting vacation homes for almost 20 years), so again bring your own. Having the kayaks was great, but we were disappointed that the two best ones were locked up so we couldn't use them.
This property combines Flathead Lake nostalgia with comfort. The home has been well-loved by prior generations; the naturally manicured grounds, impressive rock walls, and waterfall all evidence the past effort it took to build a peaceful haven here. Lake views from the deck and house are spectaculor. From the upstairs bath you can sit and listen to the waterfall while enjoying the evening breeze and viewing sunset colors on the lake below. Furnishings are well worn, but still comfortable. Bedding and towels are good quality, appliances all function well. Air conditioning units made both floors comfortable, even on 90 degree days.Home interior was very clean, host was very responsive, the location was close to Woods Bay and Bigfork area attractions with less traffic than the west side of the lake. The trail from the house to the beach/dock is not super easy; you may have to rest a time or two on the way back up. Watercraft stored at the beach are a bonus, along with the adjacent undeveloped lake frontage to explore with kayak or paddleboard. Neighbors are not close; the whole property is quiet. Lake access is a more natural area with bees and frogs and beautiful lake rocks.Picking fresh fruit from the on-site orchard was icing on the cake. We would recommend this rental if you enjoy natural beauty, historic character, and a peaceful secluded site for a fun family experience.
This cabin was perfect for our family of 6. We especially loved the amazing views from the living room and kitchen, and the upstairs bedroom. The beach area was great for swimming and relaxing. We had everything we needed - no complaints!
We only had one night, not long enough! The house was clean and comfortable and the views of the lake were excellent. We did sunset on the dock, which was fabulous. Our bed was very comfortable and the place was quiet. Instructions for checking in and out were straightforward and the place was easy to find. Great stay.
Great main level. Advertised for 8 folks.......but one of the beds is a pull out couch bed in the living area. Too bad that the upstairs couldn't be better planned out (smaller private bathroom) with at least 2 bedrooms ....so that a bed would not be in the living room.
We are so grateful to the property owners for sharing this beautiful spot with us. You can tell the property has been lovingly cared for over the years to create a peaceful home on the lake. Thank you!!!
We really enjoyed this spot. It’s very peaceful, has a pretty easy walk down to the water that my elderly parents could do, and nice lakefront area with a good amount of beach. We all really enjoyed it.
We couldn’t have been in a better spot! Such stunning views! We made pie and played in the lake all week. Can’t wait to come back.

Fun week with the family
We had a great time at this cabin on Flathead. Here is a quick rundown of our stay:
Pros:
The lakefront property is private and felt like our own piece of heaven.
Bedding, bath, kitchen, and all the comforts of home provided to make our stay comfortable.
Beautiful orchard with access to Flathead Cherries and an on-site waterfall was amazing.
We were amazingly comfortable and can't wait to return.
Areas to be aware:
The lakefront is wonderful, and a bit of a hike. Be aware with anyone very young/high needs family; it is totally worth the hike, and not for everyone.
Towel off after each time in the lake! Swimmer's itch is real in Flathead Lake and nobody wants to spend their vacation covered in welts.
Overall:
We had a great vacation at this VRBO, and will rent it again. I am so happy we found this little slice of joy!
The property description is misleading regarding television. There is no satellite, cable, or antenna access to any television access. What they do have is a tv with internet access. The tv is really functioning as a monitor. The owner is charging top nightly rates and can clearly afford to, and should, include tv access.

Relaxing house on Flathead Lake.
Wonderful place to stay. This is an older place that has undergone lots of renovations and from the looks of it more in the future. Walking in the front door, the first thing you will notice is the amazing view of the lake out the wall of windows. The wrap around deck provides a great place to sit and watch the lake as the morning starts or as the sun sets over the lake in the evening. We spent many of hours on the deck playing games, talking and just enjoying the views. The house has plenty of room and is very comfortable. The small waterfall from the stream passing through the yard provides a relaxing sound when outside and from the bedrooms when the windows are open. The dock provide plenty of room to sit or swim from. The clear water of Flathead Lake is amazing. The only problem we had during our stay, was knowing that we would have to leave. Thank you from sharing such beautiful place!
House was secluded, comfortable and roomy. Did not see or hear any neighbors. Large deck is great place for watching activity on lake and sunsets. Mama black bear and 2 cubs made nearly daily rounds down by the lake. Ate plums and apples from the orchard.
We had a wonderful 2 weeks at your house. Thank you for sharing it with us! We particularly loved swimming off the dock and can’t wait to return.

This is a picture of our family getting ready to work on the place.
I grew up in the valley just a mile down the road, and my husband's family would come each summer and work on the place. Now his folks have sold it to us and we look forward to sharing our favorite spot with others when we can't be there.
