Gorgeous Rental Property!
Really great property -- beautiful! The lake is a beautiful turquoise and the yurt property is on a quiet little bay. The yurts are really fun to stay in. The bunk beds in the bunk house are really only for kids -- they are a little too narrow for adults. A bit of a drive back to Polson if you need supplies, so bring what you need. The outdoor kitchen is awesome! We had a great time making breakfast outside. The owners are really nice and are very helpful! My group loved this place and wanted to stay longer!

Fantastic!
This is an incredible place to stay Plenty of sleeping arrangements that are comfortable and clean. The views from the decks are breathtaking! We loved the dock and water access, and found ourselves playing there all day. Plenty of space inside and outside (amazing outdoor kitchen and deck) to entertain our family and friends. The yurts were a fun experience and we would highly recommend it to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Susan or Harold Diesen

Host profile image
We bought this property in 1997 as a family retreat. It is now our retirement home for a portion of the year. We also live in Arizona. I was born and raised in Montana and my husband is a transplant from North Dakota. We raised our family in Missoula and were there for 29 years before deciding to live in a yurt on our lake property.

Why they chose this property

We found this property while boating around Flathead Lake just checking out the various bays. I remember crawling all over this property when it was for sale. It was completely undeveloped and we fell in love with the rustic feel of it. After we bought it our first project was to thin the trees. We had an old pick-up topper on the ground where we kept our tools to keep them dry. I remember having our radio on in the truck listening to music when it was interrupted by the announcement of Princess Diana's accident. Our first building was an out house that is still on the property. It has stenciling on the walls and a padded seat. Our neighbor had a yurt and thought we should buy one, so we decided to take the plunge. He has since added a log home. We added a bigger yurt.

What makes this property unique

We love being on Flathead Lake- the largest and cleanest lake west of the Mississippi. A good portion of the property is mountainous so there is plenty of room to roam- hike. We have an abundance of wildlife- deer, ducks, squirrels, wood peckers, swallows, and even the occasional bear.
