Break Free. Peel back the layers of sacred beauty and bountiful wildlife that are the hallmarks of western Montana. In the heart of it all is Wild Horse Island, a 2,200-acre sanctuary in the middle of Glacial Flathead Lake. Gently sloping ridges robed in native grasses, wildflowers, and Ponderosa pines rise 900ft from the island's enchanted shores.
A small group of wild horses descended from indigenous Salish and Kootenai herds roam the island alongside a robust flock of 200 bighorn sheep, mule deer, and coyotes. These keystone species thrive on Wild Horse Island state park, a marvelously preserved primitive wilderness.
Hand Built with native logs on one of only a handful of private lots on the island, the secluded cabin offers an unparalleled getaway experience. For those wild at heart who appreciates off-the-grid tranquility coupled with a generous suite of amenities, this adventure is for you. Indoor features include a well-equipped kitchen with a propane refrigerator and range oven, a full bathroom with showers and tub, a spacious loft with queen and twin beds, a master bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a queen fold-out couch in the living room. Electric lights and appliances are powered by solar energy backed by a quiet gas-powered generator.
Cellular Reception is excellent at the cabin, but for complete off-grid serenity, turn everything off and enjoy a good read from the cabins small library. Though open fires are absolutely not permitted on the property or in the state park, the cabin is equipped with a wood stove and BBQ.
The boat dock and wrap-around deck offer a calm, tranquil outdoor relaxation experience. Enjoy fresh breezes while the sounds of waves splash against pebble beaches.
The cabin serves as your base camp for a multitude of adventures. Climb to the highest peak and bask in the vastness of the Mission and Swan mountains to the east, the Salish mountains to the west, and on a clear day, the peaks of Glacier Park 60 miles north. Circumnavigate the island by motor boat, canoe, or kayak, or take a self-guided tour of the cabins and mansions on the mainland. Fishing is a favorite pastime in Big Arm bay, so be sure to get permits from the tribe before your vacation.
Bring your own boat or rent one from a local business. Water taxi services are also available in the area. Dogs are welcome on the property and in the cabin but are not allowed outside the one-acre cabin lot into the stake park.
