Parking: Ample parking space is available on the property for your vehicles.
Accessibility: Please note that the cabin may not be suitable for guests with mobility restrictions due to its proximity to the lake and uneven terrain.

Vacay on Lake Flathead

Our stay at this Lake house was very comfortable. The house was well stocked, in a good location and perfect for a short lake vacay with best buds.

Wonderful Lakefront Property

Our family spent a week at this beautiful house on Flathead Lake. It is perfectly situated on the best part of the lake and is walking distance to the town of Bigfork. The house is very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Tim was great to deal with. We will definitely return.

Relaxing 4th of July celebration on the lake!

Cute little house with gorgeous lake front property! Big windows allow you to enjoy the view all day. Owners very friendly and quick to respond. House fit our family of 5 very comfortably. If you’re there for lake access this house is ideal! However, for bike rides/walks around town of Bigfork I would say the other side of MT35 would be a little better, there is no sidewalk or bike path to get to town from the house. It was a fun week, would love to go again!

Great Lake Front location

Great Lake Front location . Loved the layout of the home , open kitchen & family room looked out directly to the lake. We especially enjoyed the beautiful sunsets & using the outdoor fireplace to make s’mores. Easy 15 min walk to downtown Big Fork to Pocketstone Cafe for coffee (great service) & Kelly’s (local bar). The Raven is a must for gorgeous views . Highly recommend Base Camp Big Fork for river kayaking rentals (just a 2 min drive from home) and dog sledding in winter. Tim was a very accommodating host . We highly recommend their home the next time you’re planning a family vacation to the lake .

Very nice level bank waterfront house

The location and condition of the house are excellent. Glacier National Park is a short drive, and there is a lot to see and do close by. Tim is very communicative and helpful. There is a local marmot who hangs around the back yard and munches dandelion greens. There is plenty of room in the house and the fireplace is a nice warm touch. The back yard faces South and makes the deck warm and relaxing. Very enjoyable stay.

Lovely Home in Bigfork

We had a wonderful week in Bigfork. Tim was so easy to work with and responded immediately to our questions. The yard and dock space is lovely and we spent hours swimming, barbecuing and watching sunsets. The house is clean, and online photos are very accurate. The property is a bit close to the main road so you do hear some traffic from the house, but it’s a trade off because the house is also really close to town. And we spent most of our time in the yard and on the water anyway! Great stay!!

Would definitely come back!

We rented this property for five days and could have stayed longer! If you have a boat this is the perfect property! Swimming is great with the sandy bottom! Kitchen was fully loaded and we made every meal for seven people daily! They have everything you need! Only somewhat negative thing I can say is don’t plan on using the loft as a bedroom.. to hot and small. Maybe small children would like it? No air conditioning ,but if you use the fans all day you can cool the property down. Other than that, our stay was perfect!!!!

GREAT Vacation!!

We LOVED our vacation on Flathead. This location is amazing! Perfect for our family. We enjoyed hanging out on the dock (in and out of the water), lounging in the sun - or shade, and roasting s'mores in the outdoor fireplace. Tim was easy to work with and very accommodating for our family traveling in from NJ and Seattle.

Perfect!

We LOVED our stay in Bigfork. The house was actually better than the listing (some furnishings have been updated), and perfect for our family of parents, grandparents, and 2.5yo twins. We cooked at home every night with our Bigfork relatives and sat on the deck chatting until late. Our kids loved the toys and the little loft play area, which they nicknamed "the neighborhood." A highlight was watching a huge storm on our last afternoon - the lake changes so rapidly, we couldn't look away. We'll be back!

An Amazing location!!

We loved the cabin on the lake. It was homey, comfortable, and close to all amenities. And those views!!! The kitchen was stocked with everything you'd need for a gourmet meal, though we only cooked one night. The restaurant scene in Bigfork is too good to miss out on. We dined at Showtime and When in Rome and both were outstanding. The host's recommendations for coffee at Vessel and Pocketstone also proved to be fantastic. We made a day trip to Whitefish and Glacier NP and loved each. We will be coming back in cherry season and we're staying here again and cannot wait.

About the host

Hosted by Tim S

Host profile image
Our family of 5 absolutely love Bigfork and our cabin on the lake. We spend as much time here as our schedules allow!

Why they chose this property

The location is absolutely perfect! Quiet residential neighborhood, with a 180 view of the lake and the mountains on the west side of the lake. There is a perfect sunset every night. Additionally, our proximity to Bigfork makes it even better. Just about every night we kayak into town for dinner or ice cream. It's truly paradise.

What makes this property unique

The property is intimate, comfortable, and everyone has their own space to sleep, but the common areas and lawn allow for games and easy viewing of the little ones!
