It may never make the pages of Architectural Digest, but if you're looking for an authentic family cabin experience on Flathead Lake, this place is tough to beat. The cabin feels like it's been in the family for generations-- with quirky renos and a mishmash of furniture, just like you'd expect. It was refreshing not to feel like we were staying in an art gallery or a museum. The vibe here is chill, friendly and authentic. Everything is spotlessly clean, including the bathrooms and hot-tub. Thoughtful touches abound-- like lots of spices, pantry items and every kind of plate, bowl, cup and utensil you could ask for. At the lake (a short meander down a country road through a cherry orchard) there were all the fixings for a fire, including metal sticks for marshmallows and even water paints and an easel. Two things that would be lovely to fix: The outside upholstery on some of the chairs on the top deck could use a good clean. And it would be awesome to have a swim ladder on the dock.

Birthday weekend for my girlfriend and I, great spot for getting away. Love the hot tub on the deck, very nice bed and bedding, nice shower. Everything was very clean. Host was very easy to contact, very accommodating
