Beautiful house with one amazing view!
My kids said best house by far! They absolutely loved it and the peaceful location! Beautiful view to wake up to and sip your tea or coffee! The basement was perfect for some poker nights and March madness! We had troubles finding, but they were quickly responsive and got us to where we needed to be! Amazing town and people as well! Loved everything about this trip and house!

Amazing getaway
What an incredible place. Our family all were in love with it. The home, the view, the fully equipped kitchen, an evening hot tub dip as the moon shines on the lake, all a win. An best of all very private. I highly recommend this property.

Lakeside home
The home was beautiful and the surrounding area was also beautiful. We enjoyed our stay, the lower deck was the only place we could play games no flat ground around us. The living room sofa was very uncomfortable, but the beds were. Would recommend this property for large gatherings. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at this beautiful home.

Beautiful Cabin
Being tucked away just off Flathead Lake is an awesome location. The house is nicely laid out and the kitchen was well stocked. The kids spent most of their time in the basement and having the hot tub and sauna was a nice plus. We found the house short-stocked on garbage bags, toilet paper, dish detergent and soap so we had to make runs to the grocery for those. It's a 10 minute drive to Lakeside and the littles loved the public beach there. We caught plenty of fish on guided trips, hit up GNP for a day and even went to a rodeo in Columbia Falls. Amazing area. The smoke was thick but didn't bother us too much.

Many Amenities But Could Use a Deep Clean
Huge house with two full living areas. Window sills had dead flies, jacuzzi was really dusty, beds were lumpy, path in snow was not cleared to the front door, and house was really dim. We really did enjoy our stay, but felt like the cleaners could have spent a little more time on the property.

Great property up in the hills
Great house for a family gathering of 7 adults and 6 kids. Deck was wonderful for gathering and star gazing. Comfy beds. Well-equipped kitchen. Just under an hour drive to Glacier NP which we did several times.

Great Time
The Lakeside home was way more than we all expected. The pictures were great but truly didn't describe the beauty of the house and the grounds. The two highlights were the all around fireplace in living room. We used it every night and whether we were eating or just just relaxing in the living room, the fireplace was the focal point. Secondly, was the spectacular kitchen. I know many people eat out when they travel but our family loves to cook together and this kitchen was a dream. We loved all of the room, the views, every pot, pan, kitchen utensil you could think of. Cooking together in this kitchen was absolutely a highlight of our trip. And the heated floors, perfection!!
We would highly recommend this location for any family or group. We are still talking and laughing about our trip and this spectacular house every time we are together. 100 thumbs up!

Nice location for a big group - flathead lake is a beautiful destination
This was a last second getaway with friends and family. The house is 3 stories of endless bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, and kitchen spaces. It’s perched on a hill overlooking flathead lake near the small town of lakeside. We found it to be conveniently located, more than well equipped, and it served as a good home base from which we launched expeditions to glacier national park, a day on the lake, and exploring big fork.
