About this property

The Bison on Flathead Lake

Come enjoy your stay on Flathead Lake! This waterfront home comes complete with beachfront access, a dock and boat lift. The house is minutes away from downtown Polson and just a few spaces down from the Shoe Bar and Grill.

This home has been beautifully renovated for modern taste. The granite and tile throughout makes this home feel like a true Montana gem.

All occupants use the decks, stairs, path to the lake, dock and boat lift at users own risk. All is maintained, but due to terrain not all risks can be mitigated. This property is lakefront. As with any shoreline property beware water conditions can change rapidly without warning. Users of any water equipment on the premises do so at their own risk. Exterior security cameras are on property.

Flathead Lake property

Upon arrival we had some concerns which were quickly addressed by the owner. We loved the location with direct access to the lake and other areas of Polson.

Fun Getaway!

Amazing location and amenities! The kitchen was large and all appliances seemed very new which was perfect since we cooked all of our meals over the weekend, there was room for everyone to gather and cook, chat and eat! I would definitely go back!!

My Happy Place!

I have always enjoyed staying in Polson and Flathead lake. This was our first time staying in a VRBO there. It was a great experience right next to the water in a beautiful home! I will be booking this place again very soon! Thank you for a Great Lake experience! The Lopez and Gilbert Families!!!

Relaxing on Flathead

I went with my kids, mom, sister and her family. There were 9 of us total. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Being able to wake up and look out to Flathead lake every morning was breath taking. We have 2 eagles that visited the dock every morning. The hill to the lake was steep but totally doable. Tony was very responsive to texts and we had an amazing stay. I would definitely recommend the bison on Flathead as an amazing place to stay in Polson.

We couldn't have asked for a better location. It's close to town if you forget anything and the lake access is second to none. Tony was incredibly responsive and communicative. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Tony!

Nice Place to stay in Polson

Communication with Tony was easy and friendly. When we had a problem with the stove (no instruction booklet available and an error code flashing from the moment we came in), they called a very nice and skilled young man to solve the problem. We should have called earlier.

Great house!!

We stayed at The Bison for a short family getaway. The property is beautiful and has a great sunrise view. The house has a ton of room for people to stay and relax! We enjoyed our time there and hope to be back next summer!
