Comfortable spot on the river
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. The cabins are nice and well-appointed. The beds are comfortable. The kids enjoyed the games, both inside and out. The location is easy to access both Flathead Lake and activities up by Glacier.

Nice compound on the Flathead River near where it enters the lake.
This property worked great for our family. We stayed for a week and used the property as a base for visiting Glacier National Park, Whitefish, Kalispell and Bigfork. We swam off the dock and floated in tubes. The grounds were expansive and suitable for family games and activities. We enjoyed having coffee on the patios in the morning. The only problem we encountered was the neighbor constantly reporting on us to the property owner. Once all of us left in our vehicles, except one person. That individual observed the neighbor coming onto the property and snooping around, making that person very uncomfortable. Additionally, the neighbors appeared to mow small sections of their lawn near the fence when we were outdoors and engage in other activities that gave the appearance they were spying on us. The property is great, the neighbors not so much.

Always something to do!
We played until the sun went down..at 10:30! Unbeknown to us, the river was a better location than the lake. it felt safer and calmer to get out and swim, paddle board or kayak. We did rent a boat for one day (they delivered) w a tube so adults could explore and kids could tube. The place was amazing for a large family!! The only thing I would correct about the listing is that it comfortably would sleep 14. We had a group of 13 and it worked great! We would return in a heartbeat, everyone loved it! I highly recommend! Also the communication w the property manager was very quick regarding response to any questions.

About the host

Hosted by Tree Burling

Host profile image
My name is Teresa but better known as Tree. I am lucky enough to have lived in the valley with my husband and two daughters for the last 20+ years. Originally coming from Southwest Michigan. We have built a successful construction business here and have been blessed enough to add property management to that about six yrs ago. I appreciate the flexibility that comes with that, allowing me to spend time with my family and share with others the Flathead Valley that we love so dearly.

Why they chose this property

This property is very special to me, and holds a lot of family memories. The first property I started managing because it belonged to a dear friend of mine. The property has since changed hands and undergone exciting renovations and I was lucky enough to be hired by the new owner to continue to help him share this little piece of heaven with other people.

What makes this property unique

Great neighbors, AMAZING sunsets, quiet end of the road location and access to Flathead Lake makes this property hard to beat.
