Everything pictured was accurate, but the experience exceeded our expectations. It was a magical place that provided all the relaxation and charm you could want.
This home was amazing!! The views of Flathead Lake are postcard worthy. This was the perfect place to recharge, and reconnect. We unplugged and took in the amazing wildlife, sunrises and sunsets. This home had kayaks that came in handy as we paddled around the lake. We fell in love with Flathead Lake and will definitely be returning.
We couldn’t have found a more perfect spot. Right on Flathead Lake. So much beauty. Our family enjoyed this spot of Heaven. The sunrise and sunsets were magnificent. We will be back
Wow! What a trip! This house is perfectly located in a quiet bay on Flathead Lake. The house was the perfect size for our family of five (plus a friend). The location is right on the waters edge which couldn’t have been better for our busy kids who enjoyed spending every minute they could in the water. The house has water toys to use! We were thrilled! Two kayaks and a paddle boat plus life jackets! The kitchen had everything you might need - which we did since we cooked every meal that we were there.
The hosts are great - they even leave a special something upon your arrival- which won me over immediately!
We loved it so much we tried to book it for next summer but the dates were already booked! So, if you see this place and it has the dates you want you should book it! You won’t regret it!
The property worked great for us, better than we imagined. Our first trip to Montana, we went to Glacier National Park, explored around Flathead Lake and enjoyed the property. It would be hard to beat the views.
The communication with Sherrie was good, quick response. We will definitely visit Montana again and would love to stay here again.
This is the home we have been searching for! For many years we have wanted a vacation on the lake and we finally got it after finding this home. The property is so beautiful and peaceful. We will definitely be back.
Property exceeded my expectations. The online pictures do not fully capture how great this property is. Quite, peaceful, relaxing week. Very convenient to Polson for boat rentals and shopping. The only thing that put a damper on the week was the wild fire smoke. I would definitely stay here again.
This was our second year staying at Sherrie’s place on Flathead lake. It has everything you need, with incredible views of the three islands and the lake. The dock is great and my husband loved kayaking. It is a warm and comfortable place to stay! We hope to return.
It was my wife and I's first time to Montana to see beautiful Flathead Lake. The cabin is very well maintained, comfortable, and has plenty of room. The views from the front of the property cannot be beat. Thanks, Sherri and Fred, for sharing your fantastic property.
Its hard to beat the location and views. Right on Flathead Lake. Great place to wake up in the morning. Kayaks included for taking a stroll on the lake and a barbecue for cooking. Loved it! Thank you very much!
Sherrie’s place is fantastic! The home is lovely with everything you need. Kayaks were great to paddle around the shoreline and out to the islands. The views are gorgeous. We had a grand time and we plan on returning next year.
We had an absolute blast at Sherie’s cabin! The cabin and the location on the lake were perfect. Sherie was an amazing host and very quick to respond to any questions. My wife, 3 girls, and I had an amazing time and can’t wait to go back!

Unexpected
We rented during Covid and things were not as they once were of course. Things are more complicated now post Covid. Covid is no ones fault, but people are on their internet more often etc...
The VRBO is the adjacent house to the owners residence. It is not cleaned to a regular expected standard. Minimal cleaning.
The WiFi was overloaded in the neighborhood because of Covid, but the VRBO does not have its own modem, just an extender that comes from the owners adjacent residence up the hill. It’s not really strong enough to watch Streaming like Netflix. My mother-in-law and is couldn’t receive photos on out phone most of the time as well.
Again, to no ones fault, there were annual fires. We got smoked out and couldn’t be outside. We couldn’t use the dock, kayaks, or the boat we rented in Big Arm. Be aware that in late August fires are annually prevalent.
The host did discount us $150 for the troubles which was nice of her. Overall because of the fires we were stuck inside without functioning internet. The rental does not have Cable or Satellite. We played a lot of cribbage, but you can only play so many board games. Also, Verizon cell phones do not work in the rental property. There was one or two bars of service from the dock though.
Just notes for the next folks that rent the property. I would have wanted to know these items myself.
Such a great location with stunning views of Dream Island and the Mission Mountains. Quiet. Calm water in the morning and evenings for great stand up paddling boarding. The kayaks and Paddle Boat at the cabin were put to good use every day. Beach and dock very nice. Great place to swim, too. We rented a boat about 5 minutes from the cabin and then went hiking on Wild Horse Island where we saw Bighorn Sheep and wild horses. A great week!
