Beautiful Property

We loved the house and the location - it has such a beautiful view and the access to the lake is awesome! We loved that kayaks and life preservers were supplied - made enjoying the water so easy! The home was well appointed and the kitchen was very well equipped. We recommend this property without hesitation and hope to return before long! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable vacation!

Perfect place for a combination lake/mountain trip

Amazing property right on Flathead Lake! Couldn't ask for better views. Less than 2 miles by kayak to Wild Horse Island. Perfect back lawn. Well stocked with 2 SUP's and 4 kayaks, I believe most if not all were double kayaks. Very pleased with our stay here, would return again.

Family vacation at it's best!

As a professional vacation rental manager I have high expectations for our stays. Our opportunity to enjoy uninterrupted time and build memories is precious to us. We took the whole family (6 adults and 5 children) to Flathead Lake for our annual summer vacation. From the moment we walked in everything was perfect. The home was very clean, there was plenty of linens, paper/soap supplies, dishes, seating etc. And some extra surprises you'll have to book to discover. We spent a full week there and never wanted for anything. We loved the lawn area and the level "beach area" that meant even the 2 year old could play at the water without worrying about him toppling in. We rented a boat for a couple of days and the dock was great for stopping by the house for lunch breaks and keeping the boat overnight. (We highly recommend renting a boat and going to Wild Horse Island) We typically don't return to the same place on family vacations but we are already thinking of returning here, maybe skiing? or back for a summer lake getaway? We all highly recommend this property and the management/housekeeping team. Thanks!

Deserves Premium Rating

Easy access. Large lawn for games. Nice dock. Plenty of beach toys. Interior well appointed, comfortable, tasteful, roomy. Host responsive. (Small point: The utility closet is under the master bedroom. There is a constant hum. Won't bother some, will cause others to choose a different room)
