    Nice place to stay in Big Fork

    Entire upstairs suite over garage is yours. Great feel on a very large property. About a quarter mile off the road and nice and private. Well worth a stay when you're near Flathead Lake. A couple of miles from Big Fork's small and quaint downtown which is on the lake.

    This is a very sweet property with thoughtful details to make your stay welcoming. We were fortunate enough to visit the metal workshop and see current projects and to get a quick peek in the glass gallery which were both really interesting. We are thankful to find this stay and would definitely return. Thank you Lee for having us!

    Off beaten path which was perfect for first night traveling Montana smallish towns. Mostly just spent the overnight there - beds and shower were good. Only drawback was couldn’t figure out how to lock door. Could’ve called Lee but weren’t that worried about it.

    Charming stay

    This was my fourth year staying at this location and I look forward to coming back next year. I love the location of this place. Not far from town at all, yet far enough removed to enjoy some country silence. It is also easy to get on the highway to head to Kalispell, which is a decently easy drive. Lee Proctor is and has been a gracious host. His demeanor adds a level of comfortableness to the stay that I appreciate.

    About the host

    Hosted by Lee Proctor

    Host profile image
    The 20 acre property was purchased to build my new studio that would accommadate glass working facility. Which would combine with the already existing metal facility, offering great possibilities to blend the two mediums. we work mostly on commission creating one of a kind site specific work as well as sculptural installations .

    Why they chose this property

    Following a vision I moved to Montana from the growing crowds of south Florida in 1975. I was completely taken with the pristine waters the unspoiled landscape and the dramatic change of the seasons. Built a log home near Bigfork started a metal shop and never looked back. A river runs through Bigfork and pours into the Flathead a world class lake the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi.There is abundant wild life here on the property, from deer and coyotes, to countless birds of prey like Great Horned Owls and bald eagles.

    What makes this property unique

    Being just minutes from the quaint mountain village of Bigfork, yet far enough out to have a private, rural
    feel. Great place to relax, take walks, or witness the processes involved in the studio. I enjoy sharing this
    wonderful property with others. Lee Proctor
