Kimbey's log Cabin•Flathead Lake Beach• Pets yes!

Spend your nights in this quintessential dry log cabin where you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a mountain/lake oasis as you relax in a Montana-style glamping cabin.

Kimbey's Cabin is a dry cabin, meaning there is NO WATER. There is power, a kettle and a mini fridge. As our guest you'll need to bring your own drinking water and you need to know that there is no access to a shower or running water on site! There is a very clean outhouse next to the cabin, and a very clean lake for a dip!
The space
» . . . . . WHAT: Juniper Bay is located on a private lot (shared with two vintage campers and a house) set inside a small Woods Bays community (8 minutes south of downtown Bigfork). Graced with cozy woods and deer that frequent the area, you may feel like you're in the country, while everything you need is just a short distance away. The cabin is furnished with bed linens, a fan, a kettle, coffee and a mini fridge. The bed is a queen size, and the cabin comes with a dresser for stowing items away. Juniper Bay is -dry cabin (electric only) WITH NO ACCESS TO WATER. There is a clean porta-John on site. Biodegradable shower/body wipes are provided.

Please note: There is no on-site shower access! There are showers available (for a fee) in Bigfork for those of you that don't consider a dip in the lake a proper shower!

The grounds are SHARED with a couple vintage campers and a larger home for other guests (see our listings).

The land is raw (undeveloped). You are paying for a cozy, safe place to rest, relax, a porta-John (no shower) and PRIVATE LAKE ACCESS. :) If you need air conditioner or real bathrooms, please consider staying in one of Flathead Lake Resort's cabins (across the street) that has these amenities.

Flathead Lake access is very hard to find, unless visiting a state park. Please take this into consideration when booking with us as we are thrilled to offer our shared private beach with our guests!

We LOVE our neighborhood!! We are located in a quaint and quirky community that dates back to the 1940s. We love our neighbors and we love the vibe of our 70 year old neighborhood. We're not fancy, but we're fun! You will see vintage cars, boats and tractors along the gravel road and that's what makes Woods Bay so cool in our book - it's a little slice of authentic Montana at its finest. Neighborhood animals may be out. The area is very safe.

We are located just off Highway 35, which runs along the BEAUTIFUL, scenic drive on the east shore of Flathead Lake. There will be road noise during the day, but that's the best time of day to hike and swim, so you may not notice the noise anyways. :) Please be aware of this.
