About this property

A Serene Lake Front Cabin Minutes from West Glacier National Park

A classic Montana log cabin sitting beside a beautiful mountain lake is what you'll find at Serene Lakefront Cabin only 15 minutes from town. Experience the wonder of nature with wildlife all around. Deer, beaver, bear, wolves and otter make their home in this mountain paradise. Hear the call of the loons, the screech of the eagles and the stunning silence of the night. Gather around and play some games or relax on the large open front porch as you watch the sunset across the lake. You can row our boat out on the lake to catch some cutthroat trout or bass and there is easy fishing for perch right off your own private dock.

Our no-smoking, no pet, property is ideal for groups of 2 to 4 people and can accommodate up to 6 people for a small additional fee. We have WiFi and a smart streaming TV on a stand for your use.

The cabin will be cleaned to our top notch standards including disinfection of surfaces as well as washing and cleaning towels, sheets and pillowcases between guests.

Serene Lakefront cabin is conveniently located 20 minutes from Glacier Park International Airport and 10 minutes from the charming town of Columbia Falls. Only a short drive (20 minutes) to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, our cabin is perfectly situated to allow you to enjoy all the recreational opportunities the area has to offer.

The cabin is located on Spoon Lake, right off the paved North Fork Road and only a few minutes from the western park boundary. Our location offers convenient access to all the hiking, fishing, rafting and recreational spots along the North Fork of the Flathead River. From your base at Serene Lakefront Cabin you can set out and explore. Hike the national park trails and take in the stunning beauty of Kintla and Bowman Lakes in the less traveled portion of the park. From highway 2, you can reach Apgar Village at the main west entrance to Glacier National Park. From there, drive the spectacular "Going to the Sun" road to Logan Pass where mountain goats roam free.

Serene Lakefront Cabin is conveniently located only 9 miles from Columbia Falls. Explore and shop in the historic western town of Kalispell, just 25 miles away, and enjoy the charm and culture of Whitefish only 18 miles away. Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, is just 35 miles to the south.

Back at Serene Lakefront Cabin the pace can slow, allowing all your cares to melt away. The peaceful waters of Spoon Lake are a perfect setting with no motorboats or jet skis to disturb the wildlife. Enjoy free WiFI and limited cell service depending on your provider, the time of day and the weather.

We focus on the outdoor experience and our beautiful cabin provides the opportunity to come close together as family and friends. You can cook in the easy access gourmet kitchen while you watch the activities on the lake. Barbecue on the gas grill or play games after a fine day of hiking, shopping or exploring. Use the convenient downstairs bedroom complete with queen bed or climb the stairs to the spectacular lake view from the master bedroom in the comfort of our king bed. Kids (and kids at heart) will enjoy the twin beds in the other upstairs bedroom.

Enjoy lower rates by booking stay dates in May or early June as well as September and October. These times offer a quieter and slower paced experience by avoiding the crowds of the peak season. In the spring you can catch hungry fish and watch as the wildlife emerges from the long winter. In the fall enjoy the colors of the turning larch trees while watching wildlife prepare for the coming winter.

Please note: Our cabin may not be appropriate for those who have difficulties walking on slopes or stairs.

There are two security cameras that cover the shared driveway and open area near the entrance and the garage (not for guest use) on the property. There are no cameras on the property that cover the cabin, lake or parking area near the cabin.

If our calendar is full for the dates you are interested in, or if you have a larger group that would like two cabins, we recommend you check the availability of the adjacent cabin at Vrbo listing #905880.

Gorgeous cabin in the most stunning setting. Cabin was equipped with all the conveniences of home and more. Location was perfect for easy access to all surrounding areas for shopping, fishing and eating…but only if you can manage to leave the beauty of the view out of all the windows. Our only disappointment was having to leave! Can’t wait to return sometime soon!

Tranquil Abode

This log cabin immensely surpassed my expectation. Each evening we could recharge the batteries of our souls by lounging on the porch with such a view of the lake. A few times we shared the lake view with a pair of Loons, which are not available to us on Missouri.

Amazing place!

What a beautiful Montana log cabin. It’s extremely well appointed and in a lovely quiet location. If we would could make recommendations it would be nice to maybe have another sofa in the lounge area to enjoy the fireplace and maybe a kettle for the stove? Other than these minor points, it served us very well. Thank you!

Beautiful home with fabulous lake view

This home is gorgeous. My husband, adult daughter and I spent 4 nights in the Serene Lakefront Cabin. We used it as a base to explore the West side of GNP. It has easy access on a good road to the West Glacier entrance. After a day of hiking and driving, we were delighted to return "home" to this beautiful, comfortable and well equipped home. The kitchen is well stocked and it is easy to prepare a proper meal, whilst enjoying the lake view. We made use of the row boat, fishing equipment, binoculars and bear spray. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this VRBO.

Pure bliss!

The cabin and hosts are first-rate. The location on a quiet, tranquil lake is gorgeous and the ideal spot for relaxing after spending days exploring Glacier National Park. An architecture delight, the cabin features upscale materials, finishes, hardware and fixtures. It is inviting, comfortable, spotless, and very well stocked. Nothing is left to chance: the hosts have thought of every detail. Apparently, even the owl perched -- at eye-level -- in a tree just outside the master-bedroom window. This place is a treasure.

Phenomenal

This property is great for someone looking for easy access Glacier, a great base camp with lots to do and a very, very nice cabin. The fishing was very fun for the little ones and the setting was ultra relaxing. This cabin was very well stocked and we took a little and gave a little. Not having a TV in the main room was great. Bathrooms were awesome. Architecture was very well done. Charming decor without screaming “this is a cabin”. The kitchen was very fun to use with the old appliances. The boat and life jackets were great to have! The area was very quiet and we had fun watching and listening to the loons. Columbia Falls was great to be close to a store, restaurants etc. The only critique I would have is that the master bedroom bed needs to be upgraded. I believe there was a temporary fix while we were there, so hoping that was the case. Do not let this deter you. Rent this property and make some lasting memories.

This beautiful lake cabin was amazing. The peaceful and quiet lake surrounded by the forest allows one to reset and turn off the hustle of life for awhile. The hosts thought of everything from a stocked kitchen, fishing equipment, beach towels, etc. Going above and beyond the hosts had a binder with trails and maps for the Glacier National Park. It was such a treasure to have and use on our daily hikes and planning for exploring this beautiful area. The communication with the hosts was 5 stars. We have traveled the world and stayed in many VRBO's for our stays and this place is the BEST! If you are going to Glacier National Park this is a wonderful home base to the West side of the park. We hope to be back to this beautiful cabin and woods.

The Serene Lakefront Cabin is absolutely gorgeous. We had plenty of room, enjoyed fishing in the lake, and grilled out. Bill and Eliska are great communicators and Paige, who cleaned the cabin for us, was kind and thorough. Our kids didn't want to leave! Neither did we. Highly recommend. As informed by the owners, wifi can be spotty, especially if you have AT&T.

The Serene Lake Front Cabin was wonderful. Exactly as pictured in the photos, exceptionally clean, well stocked, and the location allows quick access to the West Glacier entrance. We had planned to eat out but loved the location and covered deck overlooking Spoon Lake so much that we ate every dinner there with our feet up after long days of hiking. The cabin is laid out very well, all systems are up-to-date, well marked and very easy to use. Information provided by the host was clear, accurate, timely, complete and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again and will be recommending this outstanding property and host to our friends and family for their trips to Glacier NP. Outstanding in every respect.
