Luxury Stay
This house was everything I hoped it would be. The house has plenty of space to spread out yet has some great areas for the whole family to come together and enjoy the view. And speaking of the view, it doesn't get much better. The dock was very handy. We had 4 jet skis and a boat and could have had more if we wanted. House had plenty of amenities for cooking which is always nice. The property manager was on top of anything that we asked. I will definitely be returning to this place. You better book this place early because it fills up fast. Thanks for hosting us!

Family Reunion
Our family has been staying at this vacation home for the past 8 years as we gather for our family reunions. The home has all the needed amenities, plenty of space, large green lawn, a dock for boating and swimming, and even good fishing! It is close to Big Fork for shopping, and within easy driving distance to Glacier NP and Whitefish. The owners are very gracious and the past and current property managers (Melissa and Steve and now Nick) are so responsive and helpful as they endeavor to make the stay a perfect one for their guests. Our family loves this vacation home and will hopefully be able to enjoy it for many more years to come.

Mostly positive
First off, Manager Melissa was excellent. The place does have a lot of personal items, so, take some pictures if you move anything so you can get them back where they belong. We had an issue with a missing teddy bear but it was found put away so my grandchildren didn't mix it up with their teddy bears. Also, when getting there make sure to walk the property. It's beautiful location also creates animal situations. On the last night, we found bat feces at the corner of the house. We found a bat (the morning checking out) stuck in the inside of the screen door and had it tested (inconclusive). If you or your guests need to work on the internet, it is very slow. However, living remotely, you can't expect much else. The house does need some TLC in a few spots, the ice maker didn't work, but as Melissa explained, there is such a shortage of labor in Flathead, they were having problems hiring repair workers. Overall, it is a beautiful location for a family get together.

The Perfect Vacation Spot....
This was our 4th stay at this property. We love everything about it....the size of the home and adjacent guest cabin is perfect to house our family. The family enjoys all the water sports, plus activities at nearby Glacier National Park. The home is spotless upon arrival, and the property managers, Melissa and Steve respond within minutes to any questions or help we might need. The decks and dock are great gathering places to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the lake. Our family has been vacationing at Flathead Lake for over 50 years.

Anniversary Vacation
We just completed our first stay at this beautiful property. We spent two weeks and couldn't have had more fun. It is the perfect place for small to medium gathering. We celebrated our 25th anniversary and numerous other milestones and birthdays.
The accommodations are great with a very unique western theme. The big deck was a great place to hang out and watch sunsets. We were there over the 4th and could see countless tiny firework shows across the lake and there were several others nearby. It was very cool!
The water was very cold but everyone of us got used to it by the end of the stay. The grandchildren got used to it by the end of the first day. We spent countless hours tubing and laughing at the spills.
The house is great, we loved it. We did have two minor issues that Melissa had fixed very quickly. Issues in a house happen, get over it.
All in all, I give this property at least 5 stars and we will be back next year."

Wonderful cabin
We recently spent a week on this property and it was everything you could ask for. We kayaked, paddle boarded, fished off the dock and the kids spent hours playing in the yard. It is a beautiful, peaceful setting and our family enjoyed every minute of our time there. We didn't want to leave and hope to stay in this cabin again in the future. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cabin!

This is a hard one….
We enjoyed our stay…it’s Flathead Lake, how could you not. With that said- this place is all about its location.
It is very dated and the online pictures need updated for sure. There are lots of personal family items there too. Doesn’t feel relaxing.
No hot tub like in the pics and the dock is in need of major repair. Three of us went through the loose boards. There’s no rope swing off it either- kids were super bummed. The people are very nice to deal with though.

Lovely property, but with some maintenance issues
The listing for this property fairly represents its best features - comfortably accommodates a large family gathering, has a great private dock on a spectacular part of the lake, and is conveniently located near Big Fork without losing the feeling of seclusion. The problems we encountered mostly had to do with how well the home has been maintained. The kids' room in the basement was totally flooded the week we were there. An AC repair man came on our first day, but the unit continued to leak and the carpet was soaked the entire time, making the room unusable. We also wanted to use the BBQ on the first night, but when we turned it on, a fire ball practically erupted from the BBQ because the grease pan hadn't been cleaned in so long. We spent a long time cleaning the BBQ ourselves because we had intended to rely on it to do a lot of our cooking for the week. The screen doors are ripped and don't stay on their tracks, so bugs and bats were a concern all week if the glass doors were open (which they had to be because the AC wasn't working and it got too hot in the cabin without the doors open). Overall, this is a lovely property that hasn't been cared for as well we would have hoped.
