Beautiful lakeside retreat

This home was perfect for our trip, it had more than enough rooms and plenty of things to do for everyone! We loved the pool/sauna room and had lots of fun on the lake. The property is beautiful and the owner was very helpful and communicative. We’d definitely come back again!

Family Vacation

The property was excellent for our family. The variety of activities available catered to all age groups. It was spacious enough that when someone needed a little more privacy, it was available. The host and his staff were excellent. The beauty of the property just added to the enjoyment of the holiday. A holiday that we will all remember and cherish.

Amazing Family Vacation!!

We recently returned from a wonderful weeklong stay at this truly special property. We had a party of 8 people. My husband, myself, our 4 adult sons (ages 22-34) and two of the boys' girlfriends. We were warmly welcomed by our host Clay upon arrival with a detailed tour of the house and property. Clay's parents, Doug and Linda are the owners and they live next door. Their warmth and hospitality is reflected everywhere on the property. Since they were close by it was easy to ask questions if we needed them. They were super responsive. As far as the basics (which are super important for a rental): Beds and bedding were very comfortable and of high quality. Towels and beach towels were also abundant and of high quality. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of dishes, pots. pans, knives, cutlery and glasses (both glass and plastic). All the appliances were in excellent condition. The nearby small town of Polson was a short drive away and had all the supplies we needed. All that said, the very best part of the house was the covered patio, backyard and lakefront dock and of course, the lake! We enjoyed spectacular views from morning til night. We ate all our meals outside, either on the covered patio or by the lake. We all took advantage of the myriad of "toys" plus enjoyed the sauna and hot tub as well. It was incredibly relaxing--like staying at your own private resort. The lake is stunning with crystal clear water. Although it was supposedly a busy time of year, it was very quiet with no boat or jet ski traffic to speak of. The serenity of the property was enhanced Linda's (Clay's mom) beautiful English garden and the sound of the waterfall it contained. The garden was adorned by the very special birdhouses built by Clay's dad, Doug. We have stayed at many great VRBO properties, but the whole family agreed that this was one of our very best experiences and we hope to return to enjoy it again!

Amazing Retreat on Flathead Lake

Wow! We are already looking forward to coming back next summer. Thank you for an amazing stay. We can not say enough great things about this property. It is very spacious inside and out. We spent most of our time outside ... on one of the many water toys (paddle boards, kayaks, peddle boats), on our own ski boat that we safely docked for the week at the house, fishing with the fishing equipment provided, enjoying a fire in the fire pit and making s'mores, playing yard games on the beautifully manicured lawn, star gazing, or just relaxing and reading. There are lots of fun amenities inside as well, but the weather was so amazing and there was so much to do that we were never inside, except to cook and sleep. Thanks again!

Family Re-union Sized

Doug Wold, and his family were the perfect hosts. Doug showed me how to use the smoker, and told me where I could buy local brisket. We made a fantastic brisket, and fed our whole group with it. There was room for three couples on the upper level, ( one of the couples had two pre-schoolers with them) and three more downstairs. We also had two other couples, who stayed in motels, join us, and there was more than ample room for everyone. The amenities are far too many to list here. After driving through all of the smoke from the Western wildfires, a couple of short rainshowers cleared the skies for us, and showed us why Montana is called Big Sky Country. We want to come back, and probably will. September on the Lake is wonderful, and so is this place.

Family Reunion

Beautiful lake front property that is well equipped with all essentials for a relaxing stay. Showing some wear but areas of exception for us included the hot tub sauna & swim spa for the teens and the large covered patio with seating for our group of 15 for every meal. The patio has a beautiful view of the lake & gardens and a ceiling fan absolutely priceless for the high temperatures during our stay. We loved our stay!

Wonderful Property

This property is better than advertised. Honestly, you have to see it to appreciate it. The pictures don't do it justice. This was the perfect retreat for my family. Everything you might want or need plus some is included in the cabin. The owners are wonderful people and easy and enjoyable to deal with. We thought about coming back immediately next year but the property was already booked. So ... don't delay if you are thinking about it. Wonderful location - close to Polson and Stores. The view of the Lake and Mountains are outstanding. There is something for everyone and every age at this Lake house. When we got here the owner said one thing ... "Have fun" ... and we did!

Perfect family vacation

Our family ranging from ages 69-4 thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and this house and it’s amenities were great!! In our opinion, best views on the lake!! We really enjoyed the kayaks, SUP, and rafts! We spent the majority of our day on the dock and the kids loved the swing and slide. We used the fire pit everyday. The pool and hot tub were also a hit for the kiddos! Doug and Linda were the best hosts!!! We will definitely be returning to their beautiful lake resort home!

Simply Amazing

There’s so many good things to say about this property I’m not really sure where to start. My family loves to play ping-pong and Doug went out of his way to make sure that we had a ping pong table to play on. Every amenity you could think of was available the back deck is covered so even when it was raining you could still be outside and enjoy the view of the lake. The grounds are so well thought out and you can certainly tell that they are master gardeners. There’s something for everyone here. We rented a pontoon boat and their dock was more then accommodating. Despite the fact that the weather was not the best in the second week of August which was really highly unusual we all still had a wonderful time and would rent this property again

About the host

Hosted by Doug Wold

As fourth-generation Montanans and a third-generation Flathead Lake family, we wanted to raise our three young children on the water. This property offered a sizeable private setting on Baypoint with two acres of lawn and a seven-bedroom home to fill with friends and family.

Over the last 40 years, we have enjoyed this property immensely, watching our three children grow up, get married, and start their own families. We look forward to sharing this property with others so they can build once-in-a-lifetime memories with their friends and families.

Why they chose this property

Our Flathead Lake Retreat sits one one of the three pristine Polson Bay Points. We have 270-degree views of stunning sunrises over the Mission Mountains and equally as beautiful sunsets. My wife, a master gardener, and I have enjoyed building, planting, and growing the eight flower gardens, creeks, ponds, and waterfalls over the last 40 years.

What makes this property unique

Our home is the only vacation rental available on the lake with seven bedrooms that sleeps 20 with a two-acre manicured lawn, eight gorgeous gardens designed by a master gardener, a hot tub, a sauna, and a swim spa. It also has a large partially covered deck overlooking the front lawn and five flower gardens. A built-in BBQ area, dock, fire pit, and private beach and dock. It is perfect for family gatherings and retreats for the young and old alike.
