Great stay near Flathead lake!
A lovely little cottage with everything you need to enjoy a few days near the lake. My partner and I were working remotely and had speedy wi-fi while still feeling we were secluded. Dorothy was super nice and was very responsive during our stay and was helping with recommendations as we got our lay of the land.

Charming and Delightful!
We really lucked out with this charming cottage! It’s just off Flathead lake but so close to Glacier National park and Kalispell. The cottage was so charming and perfect for us. It has everything that you need, kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom etc. Amenities were provided as well. Everything was cleaned and sanitized before our stay. You’re within walking distance to a cute cafe and bar/restaurant (highly recommend their fried chicken!) But the real gem was our host Dorothy. She was so hospitable and greeted us when we arrived. She walked through the cottage with us, provided us with some recommendations, and even brought over another fan for my husband. She made our stay so comfortable! We will definitely be looking to stay here again!
