Location: Somers, Flathead Lake, Montana, USA (Northwest corner Flathead Lake, 20 mi. to Glacier Intl.)

Accommodations:  Boathouse, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)

This unique waterfront property is unfortunately the last surviving boathouse on Flathead Lake with living quarters above it. It is approximately 50 years old and was completely remodeled in the spring of 2007.

When you arrive you will not see the boathouse. From the road you will walk down a wooded path to a private funicular lift (incline tram system) that will carry you a hundred feet down to a world of lakeshore living. The lift will lower you onto the covered open-air deck. It is complete with a Weber gas BBQ, patio heater, table, chairs and a swing for two.

As you step through the sliding glass door you will see that the living level is decorated with fishing motif. In the corner is a wood stove which is ready to set the mood and can be enjoyed from the overstuffed sofa-bed. The kitchen is well-furnished with cooking utensils and all appliances except for a dishwasher. There is an adorable bath with shower.

Up the winder staircase is a loft bedroom with queen bed and step-in closet. There is a dormer niche with a bench, ideal for enjoying the view while sipping your morning coffee.

The dock and lake level of the property is shared with the property owners. You have your own boat slip and have full access to the dock, beaches, swim area and swim ladders. There is plenty of wood provided for having a bonfire in the fire pit. The lakefront also has a romantic footbridge, patio area with picnic table and tetherball. The canoe and paddleboat are easily launched from the patio area.

Somers Bay Boathouse is conveniently located: 12 miles west of Bigfork which has live theatre and dining; an hour from Glacier Park; 10 miles from historic downtown Kalispel; 5 miles from Lakeside which has a grocery store and dining; great restaurants are within 5 minutes driving toward downtown Somers.

  • What an amazing week at the boathouse! We couldn't have picked a better spot on Flathead Lake to get the best of everything - we were close to all the sightseeing and activities but secluded down by the lake enough to make for such a fun, romantic week. Would highly recommend staying here if you're looking for some time to just get away. Plenty to do right at the house and the views are priceless, we have them etched in our memory.

  • The boat house is adorable & charming! The attention to detail is superb. It was wonderful to wake up to the beautiful views & to count the shooting stars from the deck at night. It is a perfect location & it was difficult to leave. We enjoyed meeting "the property manager" - Bandit! We hope to see you again next year.

  • We had the most relaxing and wonderful time on the lake. It was an absolutely perfect place for us to enjoy the beauty of the area. It was quiet, the weather was fabulous, and the view....well, we'll never forget it! Each time we looked out our windows we tried to etch the scene in our mind. We hope to visit again...I wish to stay...but love of family is greater that love of beauty, I guess.

  • Great place! Amazing view! I would be surprised to find a nicer place on the lake. Right on the water, beautiful sunrises. Privacy! Great for a couple! Perfect honeymoon spot.
