Our home is in Woods Bay, a special place located on NW Montana's pristine Flathead Lake. The views from the dock are spectacular of both the lake and the surrounding mountains. Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. It covers over 191 square miles with depths over 380 ft. and is one of the cleanest lakes in the world.

Located nearby, Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall and the Swan Wilderness areas are full of wildlife and offer endless recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.

Great stay in Woods Bay!

The property was immaculately clean and fully stocked with everything you’d need! The owners, who were very nice even left a welcome gift of a bottle of wine in the refrigerator for us! Front row for fireworks on the 4th of July was a bonus! We’d love to stay again!

We had a wonderful stay. The space was perfect for 2 people and was very well equipped with all amenities. The bed and couches were super comfortable and the lake views and access to the private dock were amazing. Also, very close by to a few great restaurants and pubs literally across the street!

Wonderful property in a great location!

We had an amazing stay at this property! The location is fantastic – it's situated in a great spot on Flathead Lake with the dock and water easily accessible just across the street. The property itself is nicely equipped, clean, and incredibly comfortable. It has a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Additionally, there are plenty of fun places to eat and drink nearby, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this place and would love to come back!

Stay was too quick, apartment was lovely

Even though the entire area lost power my first night there, it was a wonderful experience. The hosts were excellent at communication even without power. Very clean, had everything I needed and access to the beautiful rock beach across the street was the icing on the cake.

This property is clean and comfortable. Beautiful views of Flathead Lake. Close to a few places to eat and grab a refreshing drink. You are close to the HWY so you do have traffic noise. Over all it was a relaxing stay. The patio deck is perfect for a relaxing sunset evening.

Small but comfortable. Great view. Nicely decorated and comfortable bed. Beach/ pier access a plus. A bit noisy due to road and local restaurant/bar. Could use a fan in the bedroom. We enjoyed Flathead lake.

Flathead Getaway

We enjoyed our time reading and relaxing on the deck and with a quick walk across Hwy 35 down on the dock. The Swan Lake Nature Trail in Bigfork was delightful. The apartment was perfect for the two of us. Recommend the Bonfire restaurant. They had local live music on Saturday night, very enjoyable. The Echo Lake Cafe is well worth the trip for breakfast.The best Huevos Rancheros.

Great little place near Bigfork

Tiny place, but perfect for one or two people. Communication with the host was perfect - they were very responsive to my questions; felt like they really cared everything went well. I was concerned there might be excessive traffic noise given that it's not far off the main road around the lake. It was absolutely quiet - and I'm admittedly overly sensitive to it. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Bigfork (Woods Bay) Gem

Great location. Super lake view. Facilities were good. Plenty of dishes, pots/pans, glassware, tableware, etc. Nice to have several places to eat within 2 minute walking distance. The sheer curtains in the living room are nice, but could also use privacy curtains. Nice couch and love seat, though they do sag where the back cushion meets the seat cushion. Would definitely consider staying here again if in the area.

I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your review, I just went and bought and new set of living room furniture. That was my plan for the apartment at the beginning of the summer. And will be installing some blinds soon. I really appreciate the input since we don't ever stay in the apartment. Joyce

Location!

This separate apartment (connected to the main house) is across the highway from Flathead Lake- with a private beach access. My husband and I enjoyed our 4 night stay with our 1.5 year old. The beach was wonderful, definitely a steep edge to the water. The place is right next to three different restaurants- our favorite was Bonfire. We found out that one of the bars does karaoke on Friday/ Saturday nights… it does get a little loud but nothing we couldn’t handle! The weather was perfect- 85 and sunny. The owners were very nice and Montana-friendly.

Very nice location

Our stay at Flathead lake was most enjoyable. The property was as advertised. The owners were very nice and and accommodating. Several places to eat are within walking distance and offered waterfront dining. Also a marina is a short drive for any water sports you may be interested in. The west glacier entrance is less than an hour away which is also nice.
