About this property
Flo’s Cabin at Grans – Flathead Lakefront, Firepit, Dock, Kayaks, Pet Friendly.
Welcome to Gran’s Cabins on Flathead Lake – Flo’s Cabin
Relax and unwind at Flo’s Cabin, a pet-friendly 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat on private property in Elmo, Montana, right on the shores of beautiful Flathead Lake. Flo’s Cabin is one of two short-term rentals on the property, offering privacy while still being part of a friendly, shared setting.
Guests can enjoy 150 feet of private lake frontage, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing while taking in the peaceful lake views. (Please note: swim at your own risk—there is no lifeguard on duty.)
Flathead Lake water levels are managed by the Seli'š Ksanka Qlispe' (SKQ) Dam, with the goal of reaching a full pool elevation of 2,893 feet by mid-June each year. Weather patterns and seasonal conditions can affect lake levels, and Energy Keepers Inc. manages dam operations to balance irrigation, recreation, and power generation needs. The lake is typically lowered by about 10 feet during the winter months.
Inside, Flo’s Cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay:
A small kitchen stocked with essential utensils and cooking equipment
A BBQ grill for easy outdoor meals
A futon couch in the living area that can sleep up to two additional guests
The cabin itself is private, but outdoor spaces are shared with guests staying in the second cabin and with our family, who occasionally stay in on-site RVs. Shared amenities include the lawn, beach access, dock, gazebo, fire pit, and parking area.
We provide firewood and hotdog roasting sticks so you can enjoy a cozy evening around the fire.
Guests also have access to kayaks, paddleboard, and other water recreation equipment. Use of this equipment at your own risk, and the property owners are not liable for accidents or injuries.
Sunrises over Flathead Lake are absolutely stunning—you won’t want to miss them.
Flo’s Cabin is located just 15–20 minutes from Polson and Lakeside, offering a peaceful base for both adventure and relaxation.
Planning to visit Glacier National Park? It’s about a 2.5-hour drive from the cabin. Visit the parks website for entry information.
Need more space? Book the second cabin on-site for friends or family while keeping your privacy.
Cabins are cleaned and managed by your host. We may stay in an RV on the property and are happy to provide **local tips, assistance, or complete privacy—whatever makes your stay most enjoyable**. We are more likely to be staying on the property **during peak season**, while visits may be less frequent during quieter times of the year. We also have two friendly dogs on the property—a **Pomsky and a Collie**. They are well-behaved and social, but we’re happy to keep them away if you prefer.

Hosted by Minta Johnson
Hi, we’re Joe & Minta —Montana locals who love sharing the beauty of Flathead Lake with others. We live part-time on the property in our RV and are always nearby if you need anything, but we’re also happy to give you space to enjoy a peaceful, private stay.
We’ve spent years enjoying this lake with our family, pets (a friendly Pomsky and Collie), and close friends. Hosting gives us a chance to meet people from all over and help them make memories in a place we truly love.
Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or just breathe in some fresh Montana air, we’re glad to welcome you to Gran’s Cabins and hope you feel right at home.
