Our stay at Yellow Bay cabin was amazing. The property is beautiful sitting just below the cherry orchard. The views from the front porch of Flathead Lake made our stay. The Gibsons are great hosts. The cabin has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Thank you, George and Shauna. We will be back!The Bernardos, Evergreen, CO

We stayed four nights in this delightfully well-appointed cabin with amazing views over the lake. Saw some wild turkeys in the yard one morning. Serious forest and fields beauty and lovely deep quiet! Nice beds and lots of chairs.

A lovely place and location. Good proximity to the Yellow Bay State Park. The wild turkeys were a bonus on our last morning. And the horseshoe pits were used … a lot.

Thank you for staying with us AGAIN. It means so much to have guests return year after year. We are happy that you enjoy our cabins as much as we do.
The cabin was perfect for our family of 4- and there would have been room for the kids to each bring a friend too! Close enough to town for shopping and take out but with a secluded relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back!

Comfortable rustic cabin with a beautiful lake view
My family and I had an amazing time at the lodge overlooking flathead lake. The lodge had all we needed for home cooked meals, and was even more spacious for our family of six than we thought it would be.
The location was very convenient for day trips to Bigfork and Glacier, and was a very short drive for a day of swimming at yellow bay.

The log cabin was really nice and clean overlooking the flathead lake.
Kids had great fun exploring the yard and the cabin. Have to revisit in summer to experience the bloomed cherry trees. Thanks George.
