Log Cabin Retreat

We enjoyed the 5-acre property nestled between a cherry orchard and facing beautiful Flathead Lake. The view from the cabin was breathtaking with wonderful sunset vistas of the Lake. I would definitely be aware that there are bears close by. We didn't see any but plenty of scat in the yard and on driveway. The fire pit and gazebo were nice additions along with the firepit and grill & patio furniture on deck. The cabin was vintage and being a horse owner, I felt right at home with the decor. I am so glad we were able to enjoy the vrbo. And so close to restaurants and Big Fork shopping. We did a lot of sight-seeing including Glacier National Park and coming back to the cabin was the perfect end of a long day. I definately would come back.

Beautiful old log cabin, serene setting, and close to Bigfork

The old log cabin was amazing with its original hand hewn floors, an amazing/giant clawfoot tub, and antique stove/oven. The grounds around the cabin and view of Flathead Lake were so peaceful with lovely sunsets. I spent a lot of time in Bigfork and surrounding areas, including Glacier National Park and Swan Lake, which is smaller and warmer than Flathead with a lovely public park. The property managers were great and responded to questions right away. I'd definitely stay again.

Gorgeous views from the front porch. My husband and toddler stayed here while visiting family that lives down the street. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evenings after spending the day on the lake. Will return in the future!

Beautiful Cabin Getaway

An incredibly beautiful restored cabin was a perfect home base for our family vacation to Glacier National Park. Started each day with a coffee and beautiful view of Flathead Lake. Closed each day relaxing in the very comfortable cabin or by the fire pit. The hosts were very kind and checked to be sure that we had everything we needed. A great experience that we hope to get to do again in the future!

Highly recommended cabin

Immediately upon opening the door to this delightful cabin, it is apparent that it was designed by an Architect and deorated by a designer; form followed function. Everything is either beautiful or useful and most are both.

Beautiful retreat in the cherry orchard

As we drove up the lane, we knew we were in for a relaxing few days. Everything was perfect. The house, the property, the lake view, the weather (we got lucky!). This is the place to come to unplug and enjoy. But don’t worry…you don’t have to unplug completely. The Internet works great. Although historical, the lodge is very clean, updated, and had everything we needed for our stay. Every morning started with a walk with our pup through the orchard and ended with a campfire in the front yard. Don’t go to bed too early. The stars put on an incredible show! I can’t recommend this place enough. After our stay, we both feel completely refreshed and reset. Thank you!

A gem overlooking Flathead Lake

We loved our stay here. The views from the porch were absolutely breathtaking and we enjoyed morning coffee and sunset dinners on the porch. We explored the area nearby and saw black bears on the road just outside the cabin and in front of the entrance to Yellow Bay State Park- a momma bear with two cubs crossed the road in front of us! At the cabin we saw wild turkeys, deer and many species of birds. Loved driving up to Hungry Horse Reservoir and also checking out the state parks along the shores of Flathead Lake. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Comfortable rustic cabin with a beautiful lake view

My family and I had an amazing time at the lodge overlooking flathead lake. The lodge had all we needed for home cooked meals, and was even more spacious for our family of six than we thought it would be. The location was very convenient for day trips to Bigfork and Glacier, and was a very short drive for a day of swimming at yellow bay.

Beautiful cabin

This place was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed! The kids had a blast setting up and playing with the volleyball/badminton net we brought with us. We saw wild turkeys walk across the yard several times and enjoyed the cooler weather (we’re from Las Vegas 🥵) The view of the lake is gorgeous and we grilled dinner every night on the beautiful porch. My husband enjoyed looking through all the old books in the cabin. It was just a wonderful place to stay and enjoy each other’s company. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Glacier Adventure

We stayed for our recent vacation to Glacier National Park. Returning to the lodge each evening was a perfect end to the day. The home was so cute, clean, and outfitted with everything we needed. One evening, we went outside to walk the dogs down the lane and were greeted by a baby moose coming down the road (probably looking to munch on some of the delicious cherry blossoms). As only the second moose we have ever seen, this was such a treat! The location has such a gorgeous view of Flathead Lake. The approximate 30-40 minute drive to west Glacier entrance is a gorgeous one, so the location was perfect for us!
