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.
