Welcoming & Peaceful Cabin, Easy Access to Lake & Skiing - Dogs OK

Blacktail Cabin

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sometimes you just need a break from the onslaught of work and stress - why not share one with your family near the gorgeous shores of Montana's Flathead Lake? This lovely cabin will put you far, far away from your worries, while still allowing you to enjoy modern comforts and nearby activities like skiing, swimming, and more! And you can even bring your beloved canine family member with you, too!

Less than two miles west of the town of Lakeside, you're just moments away from quaint businesses like Tamarack Brewing Company and Blacktail Family Goods. Despite your close proximity to town - and the nearby shores of the lake - your cabin feels nice and peaceful, surrounded by swaying pines that stretch far into the horizon.

Breathe in the mountain air as you admire the nature around you, before stepping inside from the deck to unwind. Floor-to-ceiling log-style woodwork, combined with rich leather furnishings and the warmth of the stone fireplace, create the atmosphere of a welcoming ski lodge. Take a seat on the couch or a nearby armchair and use the internet to upload photos of the incredible views. If wintertime weather is too chilly, snuggle up with your loved ones by the fireplace and take in satellite programming on the flatscreen TV.

When you're ready to turn fresh-bought ingredients into hearty meals, the kitchen will serve you well. Plenty of counter space, along with stainless steel appliances, make cooking fun! Treat the kids to some snacks at the breakfast bar seating for four, before taking a seat at the nearby dining table for six to savor the main course. There's even a woodstove nearby to keep you nice and toasty!

Leave cleanup to the dishwasher and head off to bed. Two bedrooms and a loft upstairs, sleep a total of six guests (two dogs are invited to come along for a small nightly fee). Couples can enjoy either of two bedrooms. Or head upstairs to catch a good night's sleep in main-style loft's bed - there's even a private upstairs balcony. Bed choices include two queens and a king, meanwhile, kids can have the sofabed. Freshen up with a shower in either of the two baths and get ready to head out!

The Flathead Lake area is fantastic no matter what time of year you choose to visit. Summertime guests can head east to the lake itself, where swimming, fishing, and just relaxing at the shore await. Wintertime guests, meanwhile, can venture 12 miles westward towards Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. Spend your mornings and afternoons skiing and snowboarding down incredible pristine slopes, before heading back home to warm up in the evenings. Other nearby attractions include Volunteer Park in Lakeside and Westshore State Park, six miles south of Lakeside (fee required).

Save your dates and secure an incredible vacation for yourself and your loved ones!

Quiet Cabin in the Woods

This cabin was ideal for our needs, a week of family get-togethers. We were there in October and the leaves on the trees were turning. Saw lots of deer and TONS of wild turkeys. I just wish we could have seen a bear!!

This was a wonderful retreat. Easy to find and convenient to Lakeside, but still felt remote and isolated. Very peaceful with all the modern amenities (except wifi).

Everything was great about this property. We will definitely be staying again. There was no A/C which was clearly stated and surprisingly the cabin stayed cool during the day if we closed all the windows and was pleasant at night even though we happened to visit with it was 97 in Montana. 10/10 recommend

Highly Recommended!

This is an absolutely beautiful cabin in a perfect little town in Montana. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to go to Montana! I also love that you can hear the creek running down the hillside when your enjoying your morning coffee outside.

Perfect Remote Getaway

You feel very private and secluded in this very well appointed cabin, but you are also within 10 minutes of everything you need, including very good restaurants, in Lakeside. Couldn't ask for more.

Loved it !!

We have only positive things to say. It was easy to get to , yet secluded . We had plenty of parking for 2 vehicles and our boat. The scenery was beautiful! The cabin was well equipped and clean. We enjoyed the fireplace on a chilly evening. We would love to come back again! Thank you !

Log cabin in the woods

This fit our purpose very well. The beds are comfortable, the towels are thick and fluffy, the setting is woodsy with plenty of privacy. The kitchen is well equipped for simple meals. There is plenty of seating inside and out. A short walk takes you to a babbling brook.

This is a beautiful cabin located just outside of town.

This cabin is beautiful. It sits just outside of town and is very peaceful. There is a creek nearby that you can listen to while sitting on the porch. The furniture inside is comfortable and clean. The beds were also very comfortable and allowed for some well needed rest. This is a pet friendly cabin, and property. With that being said, this house is in the country. You will see wild animals, we saw a mountain lion that was just down from the back porch, less than twenty yards from the cabin. Seeing these big cats is usually rare but none the less, you are in the country. Please watch your pets, kids, or smaller people and just use common sense. This is a great place to get away.

Cabin in the woods

Comfortable & well appointed with some issues that needt to be addressed, such as switches & light switches that don’t work; the fireplace & air-tight stove needed to be cleaned before use & windows do not appear to have been cleaned for some time, part. the large windows…ent rance door latch does not operate properly. The above comments are not so much complaints as they are observations…that being said, we would not hesitate to return…a nice location!

Perfect Getaway

This place is perfect! As they stated, the Internet is not reliable. Neither is the Dish Network. Don't plan on streaming services. Download content before you come, or bring your own DVDs. The grill needs some work to be serviceable, also could not figure out the thermostat, but everything else was great! The Lakeside Grocery store has less expensive firewood than Sliters. We enjoyed the serenity of the place, the fireplace, the porch, the view, the gurgling brook. Perfect. We would definitely come back here!

Spotlight in living room out. Parking area light out. Ceiling light in upstairs bedroom out. Lamp in small bedroom on 1st floor, switch is broken. Written instructions would be nice (I.e. dishwasher...) Needed more than 2 kitchen towels. Upstairs toilet needs attention.

Nice cozy cabin!

This cabin was very cozy and had comfortable bedding and lots of essentials to make breakfast and dinner! The fireplace was a nice addition And we definitely used it because it was cold and rainy!! It would be helpful to have a rug inside both doors because it was very rainy and wet and we threw one of our own towels down so that mud did not get all over the floors. There were also a few light bulbs out and the couple that stayed in the main bedroom had no instructions on how to get the DIRECTV to work. The beetles that were mentioned in other posts were found upstairs in the loft. A few of them even in the bed. Not sure if using a professional exterminator would help? Even with those issues we would still stay again.

Blacktail Cabin Issues

Nice location, poor response to an issue at the cabin. VACASA did not repair a tub spout that blew off the first floor tub/shower combo almost injuring our guest. This happened on a Wednesday morning and we left this morning, Saturday with no response. There are more issues that we had but we do not have the space to list them all. If you are interested in more detail, we will be glad to send it to you. We request compensation for the poor service we received. Please give us a call at 614-530-4973 if you want more info or I can email you a two page summary of our issues.

Beautiful home, challenging communication with Vacasa

Overall this is a beautiful and comfortable cabin. We particularly loved having a fire in the fireplace while playing games in the living room. Our main issue was with a broken dishwasher and terrible communication with Vacasa, the property management company. They have a note right in the counter that says to call immediately if anything is broken. When we arrived and opened the dishwasher there was standing water in the bottom of it that smelled terribly. This should have been caught and fixed by cleaning crew before we arrived. But I followed instructions and called Vacasa immediately. I then spent 30 minutes on hold. I then tried the texting and didn’t hear back for several hours. This is not how I want to start a vacation and especially when I’m paying over $900 for a two night stay. I much prefer properties where communication with directly with a local host.

The Stricklands view

The view was absolutely gorgeous, not hard to get to at all, close to the town where everyone is so friendly and it was very easy to get to the surrounding towns.The neighbors dogs were so friendly and played with our boys every day! Mick is the white and black and Blue the black one. There was little walking trails we went on near the cabin. We would definitely visit again. We seen deer, and so many beautiful rocks all over! We are from Florida and absolutely loved them.
