Two cabins, right on the lake and nestled on a cherry orchard, offer an ideal gathering spot for family reunions and large groups. The property was formerly a resort in the 1940s on pristine Flathead Lake in the Skidoo Bay area. The lower cabin was restored from the original 1940's resort cabin with a new addition added in 2017. The new addition provided added living space, another full bath and a kitchen. The upper cabin was remodeled in 2017 and has a large deck overlooking the view. Both offer an excellent location with stunning views of the lake that are unbeatable, and of course beautiful sunsets every night.
Both cabins have a total of three gas fireplaces, three living rooms, fully furnished kitchens, 4.5 bathrooms, two balconies with up close views of the lake, two decks and a large fire pit area right on the lake. The boat dock was rebuilt in 2013. The lakeshore was updated in 2017 with new seawall and improved landscaping allowing more lounging space. There are two washers and two dryers provided as well.
The cabins offer visitors a warm, homey feel to relax. Updated luxuries make this cozy cabin a peaceful retreat. Decor includes antlers and hides native to Montana. The cabins comfortably sleep 16 guests. It's the perfect family stay for visitors with children. During cherry season (end of July beginning of August) visitors can enjoy famous regional Flathead cherries to their hearts content.
Visitors will be challenged to find a location so close to the lakeshore, with so many nooks to enjoy the space inside and outside. The property offers close up views of the lake throughout the interior cabins. Step outside the front door and you are steps away from stairs that lead to the lake. The lakeside patio includes a fire pit, picnic table, lounge chairs and sun umbrella. The lake is so close to the lower cabin that you can stand on the balcony above the patio and boat dock, and throw a stone into the lake. The pristine lake is clear and perfect for swimming, fishing, boating, jet skiing, kayaking, paddle boarding or just lounging around in an inflatable raft by the boat dock. Islands on the lake are nearby and can be visited by jet ski or boat. We have had several repeat visitors who have been renting every year since the property has become available, as it has become their favorite place to get away for a peaceful retreat.
The cabins are only 8 miles from the nearest town and about 20 minutes from Big Fork, a great tourist destination. Enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Mission Mountains, Mission & Flathead valleys and Flathead Lake on your way to Glacier National Park, The Bison Range, and other Federal & State Parks all within a 2 hour drive or less. The lake is surrounded by State Parks that allow camping and have boat ramps. The perfect retreat for a visit in Big Sky Country. We highly recommend guests purchase travel insurance as wildland fires can affect the area.
