Incredible property, incredible view, incredible service and support from Nick. Wonderful town, with everything you would ever need and a drivable day trip to Glacier National Park. Highly recommend.
We loved the property. Such a special place. Comfy beds and the backyard was straight up magical. Our children played from dawn until dusk in the lake. We all slept in the teepee one night and had the best time. We will be back.
Our family had a wonderful time at Camp Milson. We spent most of our time in the beautiful outdoor covered pavilion, playing games in the grassy area, relaxing on the dock or by the fire. The views are stunning & the location is great. Flathead lake is a special place. Thank you to Nick, the property Manager!! Nick was super accommodating & went above & beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. Sophia was also super responsive & helpful. Thank you!
Gorgeous rental on Flat Head Lake. Full of amenities: dock and stairs to enter lake, covered lit pavilion with large picnic table, sink, grill and cooling containers. Spent many nights around the fire pit next to lake. Large open kitchen for group meals. Really enjoyed having the multiple buildings, giving everyone their privacy. Loved walking on the soft grass, gazing at the beautiful shore line, and walking through the bountiful garden full of native plants. Close to shopping and local restaurants. Views for Days.Only negative was construction on both sides of rentals during the weekdays, little loud but the views helped ease the noise.
