Sisters relaxing vacation

We stayed four nights in this delightfully well-appointed cabin with amazing views over the lake. Saw some wild turkeys in the yard one morning. Serious forest and fields beauty and lovely deep quiet! Nice beds and lots of chairs.

Stunning property

Gorgeous views from the front porch. My husband and toddler stayed here while visiting family that lives down the street. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evenings after spending the day on the lake. Will return in the future!

Beautiful old log cabin, serene setting, and close to Bigfork

The old log cabin was amazing with its original hand hewn floors, an amazing/giant clawfoot tub, and antique stove/oven. The grounds around the cabin and view of Flathead Lake were so peaceful with lovely sunsets. I spent a lot of time in Bigfork and surrounding areas, including Glacier National Park and Swan Lake, which is smaller and warmer than Flathead with a lovely public park. The property managers were great and responded to questions right away. I'd definitely stay again.

A lovely place and location. Good proximity to the Yellow Bay State Park. The wild turkeys were a bonus on our last morning. And the horseshoe pits were used … a lot.

Perfect getaway

The cabin was perfect for our family of 4- and there would have been room for the kids to each bring a friend too! Close enough to town for shopping and take out but with a secluded relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back!

Idyllic Setting

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the charming Yellow Bay Lodge. The setting is so peaceful, and we loved taking in the gorgeous sunset while enjoying a fire, with views of Flathead Lake and being surrounded by cherry trees - we wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you for a perfect Montana experience!

The property was beautiful and listed accurately. The only problem we had was the internet was down the entire time. The property managers did try their best to fix it but could not. Other than that it was amazing.

The Perfect Flathead Lake Getaway

Our family’s four-day stay at this property exceeded all of our expectations. The cabin is rustic in feel but completely updated, clean, comfortable and equipped with everything you need. It’s conveniently located an hour from Glacier and Whitefish and just a 10 minute walk from Yellow Bay on Flathead Lake. And the panoramic views of the lake from the deck of the cabin can’t be beat.
