Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Kalispell
Back in 2003 we found this cabin and we both liked it right away. I spent many weekends at an A-frame cabin on a ski hill owned by friends of my family while growing up and so this cabin feels very comfortable and like "home". We especially liked the gently sloping entrance into the water as Katy was very young when we bought the cabin. We both felt it was easy to get to, not far from our home, and obviously had many recreational opportunities in every direction.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Our family appreciates the quiet at the cabin, and time to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The lake is spring fed and is especially good for swimming because of the warmer temperatures and we all love to swim. Spending time here "recharges our batteries" and lets us reconnect with each other.

Doug and I are both in the health care fields. Doug is an optometrist and I am a physical therapist. We both love to fly fish. We were born and raised in eastern Montana and we love the outdoors. Katy is a great swimmer and like me, she enjoys downhill skiing. I especially like to travel and we try to take a trip somewhere every year. Doug enjoys exploring the mountains around the cabin on the 4 wheeler.

Hello! On behalf of our family this is the second time we've made the trip from Alberta and I daresay, this was probably better that the last! We spent much of time paddle-boating and swimming. We've all had a lot of fun and I hope our parents will take us again next year!

Another great stay at Lavon Lake! We caught and released lots of turtles, swam, took trips on the paddle boat and told scary stories by the camp fire. Can't wait to come back!. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place!

In age of plastic, speed, discourtesy and materiality, there still remain a few spots that remind you of your childhood. A place of no jet skis or blaring strereos. Just a small, still lake full of clear placid water and the quiet of the surrounding mountains. I'll take this anytime.

We loved so many things about our stay here: *the spectacular lake setting *the crystal clear water *the wild calls of the red-necked grebe family *the spacious living area and kitchen *having everything we needed provided in the house *the quiet! and the beauty of all the surrounding area We had trips to Glacier Park, a great tour and tasting at Lang Creek Brewery, visits to Hungry Horse and Libby Dam,and exploring some of the backroads were all fun outings. But mostly we just loved being here in this beautiful setting.

What a beautiful place! The water is so clear and warm, and the air is so clean. The cabin is spacious and very comfortable. Our son loved hunting for turtles and using the crawdad trap. We used the fire pit in the evenings to roast marshmallows. A perfect getaway from Los Angeles. We'll definitely come back again.
