Notes
- Swimming and boating are just .2 miles away at Finley Point State Park. Boats, Jetskis, Kayaks and Canoes are available for rent nearby. Finley Point is located in a secluded, mature pine forest near the south end of Flathead Lake. The road to the park is not heavily traveled but you may cross paths with other visitors and even deer! Boats may be launched at Finley Point State Park from mid June through early September (contingent upon sufficient lake levels). The shoreline is very shallow at this location and the lake does not reach 'full pond' until mid June. Boat slips may also be rented. For boat slip reservations, go to stateparks.mt.gov or call 1.406.837.3041, you may also email finleypoint@mt.gov. The lake trout fishing off Finley Point is often excellent. There's so much to do in the area and surrounding towns - what suits your fancy?

About Nancy Nicholson
We were born and raised in Montana and love this state dearly. We partake in the endless opportunities Montana provides; sharing and teaching our children and their children its history, culture, and geography. Since 1942, several generations of our family have spent and continue to spend time at Flathead Lake and indulge in the area's many amenities. It is a wonderful family gathering place!
Nancy Nicholson purchased this House in 1981
Why Nancy Nicholson chose Finley Point
The Orchard House has been in our family for over 35 years and was completely rebuilt and remodeled in 2010. It continues to provide our family, friends, and guests like you with the perfect location to recreate or relax. The area is known for tranquility, Flathead Lake, and sweet, red Flathead Cherries. Take in the art and cherry festivals, the classic car show, the huckleberry shakes, and the Montana friendliness. The location makes this an ideal get away!
