If you are visiting in July, we highly recommend you take a drive down the east side of Highway 35 and stop at a local cherry stand to try some Flathead Lake Cherries!

Huckleberries.. They are USUALLY in season in July. If we had a crazy winter, they may not be ready until August. IF you are here while they are in season, grab some pancake mix and huckleberries from the store and make some huckleberry pancakes!

Our stay was Aiden, with Manny family coming in from all over, for the services for my nephew. We were able to all be together during our grief, and share stories and just support each other. It was a fantastic way to be together

The house was great! Communication with the host was timely and check in was a breeze. It was clean, well appointed, conveniently located and we felt right at home. After our hikes, it was the perfect place to kick back and relax. The restaurant recommendations were awesome. Overall, it was a great visit.

Family Time in the Mountains

The property was exactly as pictured. Plenty of space for 8 adults, 3 couples and 2 singles. We enjoyed the outdoor space and the cool weather. Andy from the property management company was very responsive and helpful. We had a couple of questions/issues that were addressed immediately. They also allowed us a late checkout because our flight wasn’t until 7pm, which was SO helpful. We were able to spend another extra day exploring Kalispell, insteadof sottin in an airport.
