The main house sleeps up to 8 people. 2 Portable crib available. Two bedrooms have a queen each, one with a pullout couch. One bedroom has a twin, full bunk bed.

Curious about timber frame or strawbale homes, come vacation in one, and enjoy the lake and all the recreation that western Montana has to offer.

Finley Point Family Reunion

We had a great time at the “Hay House.” The house is nice and open. The kitchen is well stocked (they even have a coffee grinder). The area is quiet and the views of the Mission Mountains are great. This is the second time I have had my family here and there will definitely be a third!

Never Disappoints!

This is my 4th or 5th time staying at your home. We love it EVERY single time and it has become a family tradition. Our kids look forward to this trip every other year and your home now feels like our home away from home. This home is ideal for lake life and a true Montana Flathead Lake experience. Thank you!

What a great place!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Finlay point! Aside from the gorgeous surroundings the house was very well equipped and had plenty of room for our group of 11. The beachfront was a perfect spot to relax and play the day away. We are already plotting our return!!!

Beautiful Lake Getaway

We had a wonderful stay on beautiful Flathead Lake. The accommodations were great- love the character of the strawbale home. We used the dock, kayaks, and paddleboards daily. Had a lakeside fire and watched the moon rise over the mountains several nights. Went for bike rides with the cruisers provided. Ping-pong, puzzles, card games were enjoyed. Property is close to Polson so we could run in for groceries, meals, and shopping. Enjoyed a river rafting excursion with Flathead Rafting out of Polson. So much fun!

Beautiful property

The home was wonderful. It is set up perfectly for families and friends. There is plenty of space for everyone in our group. The lake access was very nice. The hike to the lake was steep, but not too bad. It was great to have access to the canoes and kayaks. The owner was easily accessible and easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful vacation.

Beautiful Flathead Lake

View from the house is gorgeous……the house was lovely, 9 in our group, plenty of room. My grandchildren loved the loft and they had me playing ping pong every night! The house is very well equipped with everything one would need, including the canoe and paddle board at the dock, which was used every day…..we rented a boat in Polson and spent a day exploring Wild Horse Island, and just being on the water!

#LoveLakeLife

This was the perfect property for my family for a week of fun at and on the lake. The views are incredible and we had great fun swimming, kayaking and canoeing from the dock. The house is very well appointed and the kitchen has everything you need. I mad a rib dinner for 14 and we were able to fit everyone on the beautiful deck to enjoy it al fresco. Beds were super comfortable and fans worked well to keep the house cool even in high heat (the design of the home has much to do with this). I would definitely choose this property again. Als, Mara (the owner) was very helpful and kind. Everyone in the family (even those staying elsewhere for the week) loved the property. We had three children ages 2 and1/2 to 9 and all three were sorry to go. So much to do, so many fun activities for all.

Paradise on Flathead!

We are repeat customers! This property is gorgeous, generously stocked with everything you would need and want for a lake vacation. The private beach and dock are amazing, the house is cozy and the vibe is chill! We left exhausted from the fun and rested from lack of “real life” stress! Hosts are easy to communicate with if/when needed!

A lovely visit w gorgeous views

We brought our family of seven and there are many options of things to do just staying at this well-equipped house. The views are gorgeous and they thought of everything a family would need to enjoy themselves in this gorgeous area of Montana. Very spacious and cozy. We hired guides to teach us how to fly fish, went atv-ing in the back country, visited and hiked Glacier, enjoyed many state parks, canoed and swam, enjoyed a fire on the beach and soaked up the serene surroundings. We saw snakes, deer, many birds, an eagle and two black bear in the area around the house. Highly recommend for some peace and quiet. Enjoyed huckleberry scones at Lake Side Bakery in Polson…a must for breakfast…lots of yummy choices. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable vacation.

A perfect summer getaway for family and friends

The hill down to the lake is steep, but well worth it for the physically fit! The water is clear and the view is unparalleled. Kitchen is well equipped and there are toys, books and games galore. The home itself is charming and obviously a labor of love, which gives the whole place a great vibe.

Great Lake House

We had an amazing time on Finley Point! The kayaks, paddle boards and canoe provided a lot of fun for all ages. The kids enjoyed having their own sleeping area in the loft above the garage. Cooler nights welcomed campfires on the gravel beach. The deck just outside the kitchen and the dock on the water were great spots for sunrise with coffee and sunsets. The kids enjoyed riding bikes, playing yard games and ping pong when they were not playing in the water. Definitely a workout up/down the path to the water, which should be considered if traveling with older family and friends.

Great time for adults and kids

This was a great family experience for 11 adults and 3 kids. The place had everything we needed from beds, sheets, towels, washer & dryer to all the necessary water toys like canoes and paddle boards. We needed additional adult life jackets and fortunately had brought our own so this was no issue. The hill down to the dock is steep but our older parents were able to manage with walking poles. Check in was easy and so was communication with Mara. We're already missing the strawbale house on the lake and looking forward to next time.

Perfect for families

We really enjoyed our stay on Finely Point. The house was darling and lots of toys for our little ones. The kitchen was nice and has all the necessities. The house was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of towels for showers and the beach. The beds were comfortable. The water right off shore was amazingly clear and beautiful and use of the paddle boards was the hit with the preteens/teens. We stay every summer on Flathead and this was the most family friendly house. Mara was very helpful and responsive. The trail down to the water is a little hard for people that may have mobility issues, however, my three year old made it up and down with ease. Thank you for such a wonderful trip and experience.

Nice family oriented home.

We enjoyed our stay at the Straw Bale House. The interior was a great combination of rustic and charming. Well equipped kitchen. Nice deck and view of the lake. Fun dock area with campfire. Convenient, 15 minute drive to Polson. Our only regret was that we chose not to bring our boat after learning just before we arrived (“house rules” communication) that we could not tie the boat up to the dock over night. Having now experienced the quick weather changes on the lake I can now appreciate the reasoning behind that particular rule. However, not being familiar with the potential storms (and associated rough water) on the lake, it would have been nice to know this requirement before we rented the property. The prominent featuring of the dock in the vrbo posting suggests otherwise.

About the host

Hosted by Mara Veale

Missoula family with 3 children. We are excited to share our dream home with you. This house is our favorite place to be. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Our place is great for larger groups due to the separation between the house, the garage, and the beach. There is something to do for everyone. Quiet dirt road good for kids to bike without the traffic. Lots of games (ping pong, horse shoes, kids bikes, etc) along with water toys. Flat grassy area by house nice for eating or playing. Amazing views in all directions.
