About this property

A Serene Lake Front Cabin Minutes from West Glacier National Park

A classic Montana log cabin sitting beside a beautiful mountain lake is what you'll find at Serene Lakefront Cabin only 15 minutes from town. Experience the wonder of nature with wildlife all around. Deer, beaver, bear, wolves and otter make their home in this mountain paradise. Hear the call of the loons, the screech of the eagles and the stunning silence of the night. Gather around and play some games or relax on the large open front porch as you watch the sunset across the lake. You can row our boat out on the lake to catch some cutthroat trout or bass and there is easy fishing for perch right off your own private dock.

Our no-smoking, no pet (or emotional support animal), property is ideal for groups of 2 to 4 people and can accommodate up to 6 people for a small additional fee. We have WiFi and a smart streaming TV on a stand for your use.

The cabin will be cleaned to our top notch standards including disinfection of surfaces as well as washing and cleaning towels, sheets and pillowcases between guests.

Serene Lakefront cabin is conveniently located 20 minutes from Glacier Park International Airport and 10 minutes from the charming town of Columbia Falls. Only a short drive (20 minutes) to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, our cabin is perfectly situated to allow you to enjoy all the recreational opportunities the area has to offer.

The cabin is located on Spoon Lake, right off the paved North Fork Road and only a few minutes from the western park boundary. Our location offers convenient access to all the hiking, fishing, rafting and recreational spots along the North Fork of the Flathead River. From your base at Serene Lakefront Cabin you can set out and explore. Hike the national park trails and take in the stunning beauty of Kintla and Bowman Lakes in the less traveled portion of the park. From highway 2, you can reach Apgar Village at the main west entrance to Glacier National Park. From there, drive the spectacular "Going to the Sun" road to Logan Pass where mountain goats roam free.

Serene Lakefront Cabin is conveniently located only 9 miles from Columbia Falls. Explore and shop in the historic western town of Kalispell, just 25 miles away, and enjoy the charm and culture of Whitefish only 18 miles away. Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, is just 35 miles to the south.

Back at Serene Lakefront Cabin the pace can slow, allowing all your cares to melt away. The peaceful waters of Spoon Lake are a perfect setting with no motorboats or jet skis to disturb the wildlife. Enjoy free WiFI and limited cell service depending on your provider, the time of day and the weather.

We focus on the outdoor experience and our beautiful cabin provides the opportunity to come close together as family and friends. You can cook in the easy access gourmet kitchen while you watch the activities on the lake. Barbecue on the gas grill or play games after a fine day of hiking, shopping or exploring. Use the convenient downstairs bedroom complete with queen bed or climb the stairs to the spectacular lake view from the master bedroom in the comfort of our king bed. Kids (and kids at heart) will enjoy the twin beds in the other upstairs bedroom.

Enjoy lower rates by booking stay dates in May or early June as well as September and October. These times offer a quieter and slower paced experience by avoiding the crowds of the peak season. In the spring you can catch hungry fish and watch as the wildlife emerges from the long winter. In the fall enjoy the colors of the turning larch trees while watching wildlife prepare for the coming winter.

Please note: Our cabin may not be appropriate for those who have difficulties walking on slopes or stairs.

For guest and property security, we have two security cameras that cover the entry driveway and the area in front and behind the detached garage above the cabin. For your privacy there are no cameras on the property that cover the cabin, lake or parking area near the cabin.

If our calendar is full for the dates you are interested in, or if you have a larger group that would like two cabins, we recommend you check the availability of the adjacent cabin at Vrbo listing #905880.

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had the best time using the row boat. My 4 year old learned how to row and loved it. The view was breathtaking. House is as pictured, very clean, and beautiful home. Very close to downtown area, Glacier, and water rafting companies.

An absolute Western dream come true. The moment you turn down the drive to the house, you know this is exactly what you wanted. House sits right on the most peaceful lake you can imagine. When you walk in you get that perfect log cabin vibe and smell. House was clean, great amenities including bear spray! lol Didn't want to leave and would love to come back. Easy check-in and check-out. Top notch stay.

It is hard to say much of anything else other than the place is magical. The cabin itself is gorgeous and comfortable and the appliances etc are all very high quality and well taken care of. It feels like a home, not a VRBO hotel. The location in the NorthFork area is great for active folks as it places you right between Whitefish and Glacier and other recreational areas. The property and the cabin are close to the lake so you feel like you are nestled in nature and not part of a garish intrusion. We spent hours sitting on porch. The sunsets were spectacular some nights. The owners were very available and very good communicators. They even proactively updated us on some recent changes in the national park which was thoughtful. Just all around wonderful.

We had a perfect stay at the cabin. We stayed for five days while exploring Glacier and it was so nice to come home to the quiet setting, beautiful lake and porch, and lovely, comfortable home.
