This cozy, charming house is going to win your heart with the amazing outdoor space to entertain, be with family, and enjoy the lake! Located on Echo Lake with 150' of water frontage and a private boat dock (not usable in early summer due to low water levels), you'll never want to go inside. There is a cafe style sitting area with wood burning fireplace and makeshift bar seating around a tree, steps lead down to a playground set and firepit, and then finally down to more seating on the dock -all amazing locations to start and end your day around your adventures. The home itself has 4 bedrooms, a large living room, 1 bathroom, kitchen/dining area with a table for 6, a small study and a laundry room. There is a boat rental at the corner of Montana Highway 83 and Echo Lake Road, right across from Echo Lake Cafe which is a must try!

In the winter, the Flathead Valley is famous for its world-class skiing and wide range of winter activities. There are two ski resorts in the area including the local favorite Whitefish Mountain Resort and the family-friendly Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. Whitefish Mountain Resort was recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine readers! Visitors to the area can also enjoy ice fishing on Flathead Lake, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling with one of the local outfitters.

In the summer, enjoy all the water sports imaginable at Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48! Glacier National Park is also close by with the breathtaking Going-To-The-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and 70+day hikes! Make sure you take time to experience downtown Bigfork boasting shops, galleries, restaurants and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. There are activities for everyone from hiking the Swan River Nature Trail, exploring the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, fishing the many lakes & rivers or golfing at any of the exceptional courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course.

    Pros: very comfortable beds. Very clean linens and towels. Nice, new bathroom. Beautiful view of the lake. Cons. Cabin and furniture is old and outdated. Old brown shag carpet, very dark rooms. Some parts were dirty, cobwebs, dirt/grass on carpet. Should note that the deck is separated from the house. Deck, stairs and dock were unkept and messy. Had to walk around lots of geese poop on the dock. An ok place but overpriced, not prepped for visitors and wished we would have looked else where. Disappointed and underwhelmed.

    great place, feels like home. location is amazing, and the beds were comfy. minor issues that are not a huge deal (1 spoon in the whole house - we referred to it as the uni-spoon, 2 total bath towels in the house), but otherwise a super place to stay

    The place had a very cabin feel, which was as we expected. We were also able to spread out with a few separate places to hang out both inside and outside.

    We loved the home! It wasn't until we got there that we realized there was no AC, so things were warm by the end of the day. Trash became an issue on day 2, but the property managers responded a few days later to outline what to do. Overall - we loved the house. Loved the location.
