Polson, Montana
The spectacular view looking north to the Flathead Lake Narrows and flanked to the east by the Mission Mountains greets you when you walk into our vacation condo, which we call Heron's Landing. Located at the south end of Flathead Lake on Polson Bay, the view from this location will surprise you each time you glance out the entire length of windows and sometimes even take your breath away!
This cozy condo, up two short flights of stairs to the third floor of a 9 unit building, has a private deck that spans the length of the unit, with access provided by five sliding glass doors. On the deck, you'll find four tall chairs and two tall tables to enjoy the view at any time of the day.
This condo includes two bedrooms, one that we consider a mini-suite, with a queen bed, master bath with walk-in shower, walk-in closet, dresser, daybed sleeper, and television. The smaller bedroom has a queen bed, closet, dresser, and television. You'll find a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. (Anyone who takes this option can go to sleep with the glow of the electric fireplace and wake up to the glorious Flathead Lake view!)
A central hall that leads from the foyer includes a bathroom with a walk-in shower. You will also find a closet with a stacked washer and dryer, coat closet, utility closet, and a mini-business center with a wifi printer, scanner, & copier.
The well-appointed kitchen includes a range, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with icemaker, dishes, utensils, coffee maker, tea kettle, pots and pans, pancake griddle, waffle maker, crockpot, hand mixer, electric wok (!), mixing bowls, casserole dishes, cutting boards, etc. A bar adjacent to the kitchen includes additional glasses, wine openers, and oversized coffee mugs. We think these mugs, filled with coffee, are perfect for watching the sunrise from the deck. There is a small dining table with an expansion leaf that extends to seat 4 -6 and an extended counter with four stools in the dining area. On the deck, you'll find a small gas grill with utensils.
The living room includes a 65" television, fireplace (perfect for après ski!
), sofa sleeper, additional seating, and storage. In the fireplace cabinet, you'll find games like backgammon, cribbage, Jenga, Mastermind, and more.
This well-equipped condo includes wifi, cable, forced air heat and air conditioning, as well as an electric fireplace. You'll find bedding for all beds (2 Queen beds, 1 Queen sofa sleeper, and 1 daybed sleeper), bath towels, and beach towels. You'll also find kitchen towels, paper goods, and cleaning supplies. There are many amenities including an iron and ironing board, hairdryers, board and card games, books, and access to streaming services including Netflix and AppleTV.
The condo includes beach access as well as a nice large dock with seating and an area for swimming. The beach, dock, and grounds are well maintained by an HOA. The location is well lit at night, but we've also provided a flashlight to help light the way if you'd like to venture down to the lake to enjoy the view of the moon and stars from the dock.

Exploring Polson
Polson is located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in a natural amphitheater at the south end of Flathead Lake -- the largest natural freshwater lake in the western United States. This charming lakeside community is the trading center for one of Montana’s most fertile farming areas. In a prime cherry growing region and home to numerous cherry orchards, Polson celebrates with an annual Cherry Festival downtown Polson. Downtown Polson is the site of many other festivities throughout the year as well as the site of Polson's Farmers' Market.
The broad, sweeping Mission Valley south of Polson is bordered by the rugged, snow-capped Mission Mountains. The Flathead River that flows from Polson features whitewater rafting and Seli’š Ksanka Qlispe’ Dam (formerly Kerr Dam). The National Bison Range at Moiese with its large herds of bison, elk, deer, antelope and barn sheep is nearby, as well as the Ninepipes and Pablo Wildlife Refuges for bird watchers.
Two museums, The Miracle of America and Polson-Flathead Historical Museum, offer many displays and memorabilia. Polson also has several city parks located on the lake. Visitors are advised to keep their cameras ready for the area’s own “Flathead Monster,” sightings of which date back over a hundred years. Also, don’t miss the Polson Golf Course.
Located approximately 70 miles north of Polson is the Crown of the Continent (Glacier National Park). Heading northbound from Polson, located along the east and west shores of Flathead Lake are numerous Montana State Parks available for daytime use or camping.

Great Lake access. Lovely little condo.
Everything was provided! Like someone’s fine home! Fluffy towels, condiments, soft toiletries, great TV, beautiful views and great communication with owners. I have stayed in hundreds of rentals, top 3 for sure!
Home away from home for our events team. Our favorite part besides the view was that it is customary for people to leave non-perishables for the next guests to use. We found this SO HANDY! we left 2 pints of Ben and Jerry's for the next guests to enjoy--you are welcome! Ha. Very comfortable and all the amenities of a real home. THANK YOU for the hospitality. it really shows you care about your place. Thank you!

We came to Polson to celebrate the wedding of some dear friends. We were blown away by our accommodations! The condo was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed!

This property was a stop on our way traveling through Montana and ended up being one of our favorites. The condo had all of the conveniences of home, was immaculate and had a beautiful view of the lake. The owners made our arrival as easy as could be and were great in communicating with us.
Although we only stayed one night while passing through, this is a perfect place to stay. Just as described, clean and welcoming with instructions for anything we might need. Thank you and we hope to come back someday!
Our three day get-away to Polson was absolutely amazing! Our host described it perfectly, and was available to answer the couple of questions we had. The residence had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. View from the deck each morning and evening was incredible! Definitely a place to return yearly!
