Lake Houses at Camp Milson - Flathead Lake 7 BD Retreat w Private Lake Access

Come gather round at Camp Milson, where it's luxury glamping at its best! Located in the Gold Coast area of Flathead Lake, Milson offers the modern, luxurious amenities of a boutique hotel in a beautiful nature setting. Located just 5 minutes south of town and grocery stores, this is the best location on the lake. There are 2 mid-century homes (Glass House and Cherry Cabin) and a Trapper Cabin available for lodging. Both homes feature high-vaulted ceilings, indoor/outdoor access, fire pits and private outdoor seating. Split A/C units in every room and ceiling fans in both homes. The Glass House kitchen is stocked with All-Clad pots/pans and everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal! Mattresses have been furnished by the W Hotel and Parachute Home with luxury linens from Brooklinen. Enjoy your own dock, shallow area for wading and crystal clear waters of Flathead Lake. Waterfront BBQ Pavilion with Wolf BBQ, Yeti cooler, and bar sink.

Max capacity is 14 people total (including kids) due to our lodging permit. Please note sleeping capacity includes bunk room for 4 kids.

The Glass House has 3 BD/2 BA, with beds to sleep 8. The Cherry Cabin is 2 BD/1BA and has beds to sleep 4 .There is an additional Trapper Cabin (1 split king bed or 2 twin XL beds) which is a fully screened porch room indoor/outdoor feel! It is located between the Glass House and Cherry Cabin with a private entrance. (Please note Trapper Cabin does not have electricity and requires use of the Glass House bathroom). The Glass House has a 800 sf outdoor deck and the Cherry Tree Cabin has a 400 sf outdoor deck.

There is also a 20' Tipi on property that is an authentic Crow Indian Tipi that was set up by Crow Indians in a traditional Tipi Ceremony in 2020. Teepee is empty and only staged for photos. The Tipi is nestled between four trees and faces East, as tradition, for the sunrise. Each of the 15 poles has meaning - Obedience, Respect, Humility, Happiness, Love, Faith, Kinship, Cleanliness, Thankfulness, Share, Strength, Good Child Rearing, Hope, Ultimate Protection, Control Flaps from Wind.

Camp Milson is an 8 acre retreat with amenities that include private access to Flathead Lake (300 linear feet) and a boat dock. You can rent kayaks and stand up paddleboards from a local outfitter who will deliver to the Camp! You can go swimming, boating, tubing, jet skiing, paddle boarding or fly fishing. There is an enclosed area of the lake that serves as a "natural swimming pool" with clean, clear lake water! There is also a timber-framed outdoor pavilion with a Wolf BBQ and bonfire area. Hiking and mountain biking trails are nearby. Take a morning walk and see the deer and wild turkey roam freely. Or, walk down to the boat dock for 180 degree views of Flathead Lake. The Eagle Bend Golf Club and Montana Athletic Club are also just a 5 minute drive away.

We will be back
We loved the property. Such a special place. Comfy beds and the backyard was straight up magical. Our children played from dawn until dusk in the lake. We all slept in the teepee one night and had the best time. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Sophia

Host profile image
I'm a designer who dreamed of building a retreat that would allow our guests to escape into a place of relaxation and inspiration. This camp is designed to facilitate all of these things. Much consideration has been put into the furniture choices and design of the home as we wanted a camp that was rustic, yet modern, comfortable and relaxing. The majority of the furniture is handmade by local craftsmen as the talent in Flathead Valley is best in class. We have lived in Bigfork for more than 14 years. For us, Bigfork is paradise.

Why they chose this property

After visiting the Flathead Lake area, we fell in love with the town, the people, and the beautiful scenery. This is our second property in Bigfork and the lakeside property we always dreamed about. The camp is located on a quiet street with only a handful of homes and we are at the end of a cul-de-sac.

What makes this property unique

Get a chance to live off the grid and unplug from the daily grind and stress of everyday life. You will be immediately taken to a level of relaxation from the moment you land in Montana!

We love the outdoors but believe glamping is the best way to do it!
