About this space

Escape reality on your own one acre private island in one of the most popular spots on Flathead Lake. With almost 1000 ft of water frontage & a private dock, Emerald Island is named after the stunning color and clarity of the water that surrounds it. Enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing & so much more just steps away from the house that has unmatched views of the lake. Look up & you may spot the bald eagle that lives next door. This unique getaway is sure to reboot & recharge you!


This island home has two levels and features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 half baths, an outdoor shower, huge deck and a cabana grill/bar. Every bedroom has direct access to outdoors.   The house is suited to accommodate families but intimate enough for couples with a dog or two.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that this house is also wheelchair-friendly, though not ADA compliant.   The upper level features floor-to-ceiling windows that capture stunning views of the lake.   The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and ambient lighting to keep you cozy.   Steps away is a full kitchen with all the basics to whip up home-cooked meals.   Have your meal in the dining area with views or on the patio surrounded by the sights and sounds of lake life.

Wake up to the sound of waves gently lapping against the rocks. Head out to the expansive back deck and enjoy the water views that sparkle during sunrise and sunset.   Grill some steak and serve up the drinks at the cabana bar. Throw on the swimsuit as swimming, fishing, sunbathing, kayaking, paddle boarding and boating are all available right off the dock.   Nap, stargaze or soak in the serenity of the lake from the hammock. Go for a refreshing rinse in the outdoor shower or end the day with a relaxing time around the fire pit.

We’ve added something truly special to your island escape: a beautifully crafted viewing tower with 360-degree views of the sparkling lake and surrounding mountains. Climb to the top for a peaceful sunrise, a private sunset moment or lose yourself in a good book from the cozy reading nook nestled inside.

Aside from the water toys, your stay also includes the use of a 14 ft aluminum boat with electric motor for those short trips to shore. We’ll show you where to dock this boat while you’re onshore.

We will shuttle you in our tritoon on check-in and check-out but you’re also welcome to bring your boat.  There is plenty of public parking onshore for your vehicles.  
 
This island is dog friendly up to a maximum of two and they need to be pre-approved by the host.

For those who want to take longer boat rides out on the lake, there's a boat that is available to rent (message host for details).
