Private Flathead Lake House with unobstructed views into Glacier Park
About this house rental
Situated in Lakeside, this lovely house for $726 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Our home, fondly called Skipping Stones, is located just 1.5 miles from Lakeside, MT on beautiful Flathead Lake with over 100' of private beach frontage and a private dock. Skipping Stones is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home built on 2 levels. The main floor has two bedrooms, both with queen beds, and one full bath with the kitchen and living area that walks out to a covered porch and a large open deck with seating for eight with a grill for outdoor barbeques. The kitchen is simple and clean, it comes equipped with cookware, dishes, glassware, a bar setup, silverware, and cooking utensils. There is a fridge, a new electric range, dishwasher, and microwave, as well as a Keurig coffee maker with pods or normal coffee maker and grinder. The lake level floor has two larger bedrooms, one king and one queen, each with their own bathroom and private entrances that walk out to the lake and a large open deck with seating. The beach has a designated fire pit that is available most of the year with firewood onsite available for purchase by the bundle. For your enjoyment a pedal boat that seats 4 is yours to enjoy during your stay. We have 4 adult life jackets as well as a variety of kids life jackets. This cozy lakefront home offers great views of Glacier Park, Big Mountain, and the Swan Mountain range. Skipping Stones is surrounded by mature pine and fir trees offering great privacy. Immediate recreation opportunities include swimming in Flathead Lake, boating, and fishing out your front door. Otherwise, we are just minutes from Lakeside and Blacktail Recreation area. We are about 15-20 minutes from Kalispell and Bigfork, 30 minutes to Glacier International Airport, and 50 minutes from Glacier National Park. There are hundreds of hiking opportunities from Blacktail to the Jewel Basin and to Glacier Park. If huckleberries are what you're after, ask your hosts for where and when to pick them. Kalispell is 45 minutes from nine world class golf courses. Locally we have boat rentals, fishing charters, and bike rentals. Wildlife sightings from the property include deer, ducks, geese, and a variety of other birds. The large Ponderosa Pine in front is a frequent landing spot for bald eagles and golden eagles.

We stayed 4 days/3 nights with our grown children and grandchildren at this cozy home. It had everything we needed to prepare meals and to recreate on the water. We especially appreciated all the outdoor seating both on the upper deck and down at the water. We enjoyed watching the bald eagle who loved to hang out in the pine tree on the property. We would definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. Super comfortable furniture and beds very nice location right on the lake, wonderful patio and dock to sit on by the water. Also balcony overlooking the water. We enjoy the paddle boat, fireplace and the neighborhood is very peaceful. We had eagles, fly up and land in the tree right next to the house and hang out with us for a while. Flat head lake is beautiful. It was about an hour from Glacier National Park, which was the most amazing park out of the three we visited while out west, including Yellowstone and the Tetons. Lakeside has a grocery store and several restaurants a short drive away. Book now!!!!!

The best word to describe this property is Wow! It is truly something. My husband and I came up to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary and meet some friends, one who was also celebrating a birthday. This house made our trip. Our host Jill was incredible, communicative, and made us feel welcome. The house was perfect for a group of friends or multiple families, each space has a private bathroom and we had so much fun sitting on the lake, lighting a fire in the fire pit, and watching the sun go down. We had a great time on the water and the beds are so comfortable. Everyone got such a great sleep. We absolutely loved how retro and well cared for this property is. I cannot say enough good thing about this place. We can’t wait to plan our next trip here. This home will meet all your expectations and has everything you could possibly need and more! It made our trip for sure and we wish we could have stayed longer.

A Flathead First
Despite the smoke and heat, most family members had a great time. For 2 of us, those conditions kept us to a 2-hour visit and then home. We’ve rented it for next year, so count it a success.

This is a super clean and cozy house right on the lake. The view is amazing. We had two couples, and the layout of the house worked perfectly for us. One couple took the downstairs, and we took the upstairs. Each had total privacy. Spent a lot of time down by the water. Wading in to find interesting stones was fun. The lake is one of the cleanest in the world. We rented a pontoon boat in Lakeside and it enhanced our time on the lake. The house has everything anyone could want. A perfect combination and we plan to come back to stay again. Jill was fantastic to work with and was "johnny on the spot" with any questions. All in all a wonderful experience and highly recommended.

We loved our stay on Flathead lake. The retro cottage was perfect and had very thing we needed. Even though it was very hot outside and the cottage doesn’t have AC, we never had any problem sleeping or staying cool in the trees and with breezes from the lake. Beds were comfy, towels were thick and luxurious and the internet worked great. The lake was calm and clean. The location couldn’t have been better. We want to come back!
