Escape reality on your own one acre private island in one of the most popular spots on Flathead Lake. With almost 1000 ft of water frontage & a private dock, Emerald Island is named after the stunning color and clarity of the water that surrounds it. Enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing & so much more just steps away from the house that has unmatched views of the lake. Look up & you may spot the bald eagle that lives next door. This unique getaway is sure to reboot & recharge you!

This island home has two levels and features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 half baths, an outdoor shower, huge deck and a cabana grill/bar. Every bedroom has direct access to outdoors.   The house is suited to accommodate families but intimate enough for couples with a dog or two. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that this house is also wheelchair-friendly, though not ADA compliant.   The upper level features floor-to-ceiling windows that capture stunning views of the lake.   The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and ambient lighting to keep you cozy.   Steps away is a full kitchen with all the basics to whip up home-cooked meals.   Have your meal in the dining area with views or on the patio surrounded by the sights and sounds of lake life.

Wake up to the sound of waves gently lapping against the rocks. Head out to the expansive back deck and enjoy the water views that sparkle during sunrise and sunset.   Grill some steak and serve up the drinks at the cabana bar. Throw on the swimsuit as swimming, fishing, sunbathing, kayaking, paddle boarding and boating are all available right off the dock.    Go for a refreshing rinse in the outdoor shower or end the day with a relaxing time around the fire pit.

Aside from the water toys, your stay also includes the use of a 14 ft aluminum boat with electric motor for those short trips to shore.

We will shuttle you in our tritoon on check-in and check-out but you’re also welcome to bring your boat. There is plenty of public parking onshore for your vehicles.

Beautiful views!

The views are spectacular! When you first walk into the house, the view from the living area is breathtaking. And then you go into the main floor bedroom and it equally as beautiful. And the deck is huge! Fire pit, hot tub, water toys and relaxing-the island lacks for nothing! Check-in was super easy. Eric met us at the dock at the arranged time and gave a great tour of the home and it’s amenities. We only needed to contact him once with a question and he responded quickly. He also provided great recommendations for fishing charters and pontoon rentals. The kitchen is well stocked. We only used the main floor bedroom and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. And our dog loved it!

Fantastic family time

Host were excellent. They met us and ferried us over on their boat. The islands views were stunning. Especially from the new trex deck. And the jacuzzi. We loved using the paddle boards and kayasks. We brought our own boat and launch ramp was close and convenient as well as parking.

About the host

Hosted by Dess Gladen

Dess and Eric co-host the property. Dess manages the online bookings and communication prior to booking while Eric looks after the guests while they're onsite. Eric lives locally and has enjoyed planning and turning this 1960s property into what it is today. He has projects lined up year after year. Our repeat guests are often amazed at the transformation.

Why they chose this property

Emerald island is one of the cluster islands nestled at the northern point of Flathead Lake in Montana. It sits in Somers Bay that gets partial protection from strong winds and waves. We love the sense of community here and are happy to support local business in the area. Somers is a quaint town and home to many who enjoy the beauty of this place all year round.

What makes this property unique

What's amazing about Emerald Island is the views that people have to see to believe. We kept the natural look of the island which gives the feeling of being close to nature. We provided numerous amenities that normally take guests more than a week to get tired of. Our delighted guests leave with unforgettable memories and experiences and lots of post-worthy photos to share with friends.
