Flathead Lake property

Upon arrival we had some concerns which were quickly addressed by the owner. We loved the location with direct access to the lake and other areas of Polson.

My Happy Place!

I have always enjoyed staying in Polson and Flathead lake. This was our first time staying in a VRBO there. It was a great experience right next to the water in a beautiful home! I will be booking this place again very soon! Thank you for a Great Lake experience! The Lopez and Gilbert Families!!!

Relaxing on Flathead

I went with my kids, mom, sister and her family. There were 9 of us total. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Being able to wake up and look out to Flathead lake every morning was breath taking. We have 2 eagles that visited the dock every morning. The hill to the lake was steep but totally doable. Tony was very responsive to texts and we had an amazing stay. I would definitely recommend the bison on Flathead as an amazing place to stay in Polson.

We were in Polson for the Cherry Festival, so we enjoyed the proximity to town. The hill down to the lake was steep, but doable. Great that we could just walk into shallow water with the grandkids. The house is spacious, and we enjoyed dining on the deck.

We couldn't have asked for a better location. It's close to town if you forget anything and the lake access is second to none. Tony was incredibly responsive and communicative. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Tony!

Nice Place to stay in Polson

Communication with Tony was easy and friendly. When we had a problem with the stove (no instruction booklet available and an error code flashing from the moment we came in), they called a very nice and skilled young man to solve the problem. We should have called earlier.
