Polson, Montana
Look no further for your southern Flathead Lake accommodations! Our family friendly 2-bedroom 3-bathroom residence is conveniently located just 4 miles northeast of Polson on Montana Highway 35. The upper level features a romantic master bedroom with an electric fireplace and a luxurious FAR sauna adjoining the spacious master bath. If you ever feel it's time to step outside the bedroom and its spa-like amenities, you'll discover a cozy living room with a propane fireplace, a large guest bathroom, and an elegantly apportioned kitchen with a wall of windows that provide sweeping views of Flathead Lake to the west. The lower level of the residence features a fun, western-themed game room and an additional bedroom and bathroom. The residence also includes a laundry room so you can conveniently freshen up your wardrobe before the next leg of your journey.
Of course, a visit to Northwest Montana wouldn't be complete without immersing yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the outdoors. When you decide to explore the broader region, you'll find that the location is convenient for just about anything you might want to do. Shopping, dining, boat rentals and entertainment are all just a few minutes away in Polson, or you can also head north to explore the equally charming resort towns of Bigfork and Whitefish, or the broader amenities offered in Kalispell. West Glacier and the entrance to Glacier National Park are just 70 miles north of the residence, while Missoula is located 70 miles to the south. But there's really no requirement to drive anywhere to experience the beauty of our area. If you just step outside the residence, you'll find an expansive, multi-tiered deck with a propane grill, a propane fire table, and extensive views of Flathead Lake and the pristine wetlands which mark its southeastern shore. Situated between the deck and the lake you'll also discover our newly planted gardens which begin just north of the residence. As our guests, you are very welcome to explore the gardens, which we have resolved to keep free from herbicides and pesticides. However, our decision to avoid any non-organic chemicals requires that we spend a significant amount of time working in the gardens, so don't be surprised to see us out there planting and pruning in the spring, weeding and watering in the heat of summer, and then harvesting in the fall. The land below the deck also features approximately 460 feet of natural wetland frontage on the southeast tip of Flathead Lake, but although this frontage is very scenic and provides exceptional wildlife habitat, it is not useful for swimming or launching a boat.
The property as a whole is fairly famous in the local community. The southern half of the 6,000+ sq ft building consists of the private VRBO residence where you'll be staying, while the northern half of the building was previously operated as a local bar and restaurant known as "The Lake House". There is a separate one-bedroom apartment located on the lower level below this former bar/restaurant where we, the owners, will stay at times depending on our planting, pruning, mowing, weeding, watering and harvesting workload during the spring, summer, and fall, and depending on the weather during the winter, when commuting an extra 30 miles round trip to our family home north of Yellow Bay can be treacherous on icy roads.
Well, with all of this said, we hope this description offers a fair and detailed depiction of our fun and unique place, but if you have any questions before booking, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for reading all the way to the end! Stay with us -- you'll be glad you did!
Wonderful property with great views of Flathead! Everything was beautifully setup in a little hideaway spot of Polson heading to Big Fork. The host Ron was very communicative and truly cared about my stay. Layout of the property is a great offering for just 2 of us but could easily accomodate 6-8 in the party. Evrything is easily accesible in under 10 minutes.
Perfect location, loved everything about our stay. Excellent kitchen, excellent amenities, loved the Wild life visitors. Place had everything we didn’t know we needed. Thx to our hosts Kat and Ron!
The house was an excellent home base for our adventures. The views from the balcony go on forever. The telescope provided some additional insight into the local wildlife, And I got hooked on Space Invaders
We had an amazing time and felt very much like home.
Quiet getaway with a large deck looking across fields and cattails to lake. Unique decor, nicely furnished, nice large dining and cooking area. It has every amenity and modern appliances. Loved our stay!
Staying at this listing was a wonderful experience. The location was ideal, the home was perfect and very clean. We have stayed at several VRBO listings but have never had one so well stocked. The owner was attentive and available if needed. Thanks for making our trip to Montana so memorable!
Great location, views, friendly host. Great spot to stay while enjoying the Flathead Lake area
This house worked perfectly for our little family get away. The home is clean, comfortable, and the deck view of the lake is spectacular. Has everything you need if you don’t plan on going anywhere, but it’s close to many great activities and restaurants.
We definitely enjoyed our 4-night stay here in early-December 2022. The location gets you away from it all, with amazing views of the nature, lake, and mountains beyond. But it’s also only a few minutes and a very easy drive from everything you’d need in Polson. There was more space overall than we expected, both inside and outside. Even in winter, the expansive multi-layered decks were ideal spots to enjoy the scenery and watch the deer, birds, and other wildlife. The views are just as good from inside the spacious and well-appointed kitchen with its large dining table and wall full of big windows looking west across Flathead Lake. If you’re looking for a workcation with scenic views to distract you from your screens, you’ve just found your perfect desk and office (and internet speeds that were consistently more than adequate for our needs) in this kitchen. The living room has plenty of seating around the fireplace that provides relaxing ambiance and warmth. The master bedroom is comfortable and spacious, and although we didn’t make use of it, the sauna would be a treat for those who want to warm up even more. The large master bathroom is light and bright and was stocked plenty of nice towels. Downstairs, the gameroom was a lot of fun, with its combination poker table + bumper pool table. And how many VRBOs do you know that include an arcade of classic games? Kids can feel like they are old-school, while adults can school the kids on how to *really* play. The downstairs bedroom feels comfortable and secluded from all the activity upstairs. Throughout the VRBO was a variety of interesting, whimsical, and/or quirky statues, busts, collectibles, artwork, and a beautiful Turkish floor lamp. Communication with the host was always quick, easy, and very helpful. We appreciated Ron taking the time to meet us and show us around the place when we arrived, and he even shoveled snow and ice off the driveway and front porch to make it easier for us to get in and out. Thank you for an excellent stay and a very positive experience overall. We would definitely enjoy staying here again and would like to experience all that it has to offer in different seasons.
We really enjoyed our stay , convenient location and had every thing we needed. Kids really enjoyed the game room and having there own space to hang out . Would stay again
We had a wonderful time. Has an amazing view. -Comfortable Bed (soft) -Couch not comfortable -Wish there were extra blankets -Needs more pots/pans only 4 small
Great place to stay! Awesome views.
Great place to stay!!
We stayed for a week and had a wonderful visit. Ron was very quick to respond to any questions prior to check in and then met us at the property to walk us through everything. The location is great and the deck is absolutely massive. The pictures can not do this place justice. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room were fully stocked and made our stay very easy and pleasant. We would gladly stay here again if we return to Montana.
My husband, daughter and 2 granddaughters stayed here for 4 nights. Ron was a great host (didn't get to meet Kat). The house is wonderful, very eclectic decor - the views were outstanding of the lake. Watched planes scoop from lake for fires sorry to say. Saw doe, 2 fawns, small bear all from the unbelievable deck(s). Granddaughters loved the arcade games and bumper pool (we all did!). The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked. While there is road noise, it fades to the background, especially while on the deck. I could go on but just let me say we so enjoyed the home and our time there. Thanks Ron!
We enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful property on the lake. Very clean and accommodating. Very family friendly. The owner’s supplied the home with everything we needed for our stay. It was a long drive to Glacier National Park which was the purpose of our stay but it was a great place to come back to each evening.
We had a phenomenal stay at Ron and Kat's place! Everything was appropriated perfectly, exceptionally clean, and we had plenty of space for my husband and I, our daughter, and my parents! The location was great to access Polson and Ronan and the view was spectacular. We have family nearby and will definitely be staying here again! Thank you!
Highly recommend this property. The owners take amazing care of this place & help you get acclimated when you arrive. This has one of the best stocked kitchens & bathrooms I’ve ever experienced in a vrbo rental. It is clean, & the location is private yet close to whatever you choose to do around Flathead Lake. Can’t beat the views from the massive deck! Book your stay here with confidence! Thank you Ron & Kat!
Who provides coffee, tea, pancake mix, popcorn, loads the refrigerator with every condiment know to mankind?? Wait, there's more...bath salts, sauna, arcade games and did I mention the stocked kitchen. Excellent host and hostess. Thanks!!
Ron and Kat have certainly put themselves into this place like no other we’ve ever stayed. We hope everyone that stays here will respect the detail they have put into this place to make it warm,inviting and comfortable. The beds and pillows were so comfy. The sauna is just a wonderful treat. We also so enjoyed the fireplace table out on the deck. The Telescope was unbelievable to bring into focus all of the creatures on the lake and around the lake. We saw lots of ducks,swans,horses, deer, a moose and turkey. The kitchen was stocked more than most any house I’ve ever been in.
