Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
I have been coming to Montana with family and friends for the last several years and have my own home on the east side of the lake. With all of the activities in the summer, it is a perfect place to vacation! The glacier-topped mountains above the 191 square mile lake are the spectacular backdrop for the many water, wilderness and sightseeing activities. It doesn't get any better! We hope you will enjoy our "last best place" and the beauty of Montana. Arthur and family

Or you can sit in a lounge chair on the deck or lawn and enjoy your favorite book and soak in the sun. The lake views, mountain views and sunsets are magnificent!
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage and Guest House
We chose this location because it is right on the lake with amazing views and with its own boat dock. It's a perfect location to have an evening barbecue with family and friends, after which you can climb into your boat for a ride around the lake. Come enjoy a summer in Montana!
