About this property
“Bella Vista” Overlooking Beautiful Flathead Lake with Great Panoramic Views!
Some of our guests have said, “Amazing place to stay!”, “Hands down incredible!”, “The views are out of this world!”, ”Can’t wait to return!”, “This is our new favorite location!”
Only a stone’s throw from the shores of Beautiful Flathead Lake, sits “Bella Vista” Designed and completed in 2010.
Our exceptional home offers some of the loveliest views in the valley. This top-quality home sits on 2.8 acres and is nicely landscaped with shrubs, trees, and manicured lawns. It is Very Private, but you will appreciate how easy it is to get to Kalispell, Whitefish Mountain Resort, and Glacier National Park.
Wake up in the master suite to a beautiful sunrise spilling over the Swan Mountain Range, with the sun shimmering off the lake surface. Our Spacious Master Bedroom and walk-in-closet is on the main floor, with a “Pottery Barn” wicker sleigh bed. You will feel like a King and Queen in the massive elegant travertine tiled bathroom with a custom shower and a large soaking tub for two.
You will enjoy the main floor of our home as it is very open and cheerful with lots of large windows. The striking Kitchen is well outfitted with cooking at home in mind even though we have quite a few great restaurants in the valley. Our central vacuum system makes it is a breeze to keep the beautiful hand scraped Hickory Floors clean which are in the kitchen, living room, dining room and master bedroom. Our home is tastefully decorated and is a great place for family gatherings. Next to the master suite is a guest bedroom and full bath that is perfect for children. It is appointed with two hand-carved single beds. Curl up in our cozy living room and watch a movie from our 42 HD Flat Screen T.V. or just gaze at the stupendous alpine-glow sunsets.
Downstairs you will find a very spacious family room with its own full kitchen complete with granite countertops and alder cabinets. Your guests will enjoy the two wonderfully roomy bedroom suites. Last, but not least, is the Forth-of-July room, an ideal retreat room for the person who likes to be out of the way or just sleep in. You can play ping pong, watch a movie or just sit in front of the Hearthstone gas heater enjoying the views. Our home has central heating and cooling and has a very good air filter for the allergy sensitive folks. With two hot water tanks and a circulating pump you will have lots of hot water quickly.
“Bella Vista” was built by us, Robin and Patti Graham, home builders (Rivendell Builders) and authors of the books “Dove” and “Home is the Sailor”. We designed the home to take advantage of the wonderful views of the lake and mountains as they are Truly Magnificent!
We hope to see you soon and we are looking forward to making your vacation the very best.

Great location, views, and layout for family and friends. We enjoyed our three week stay, Bella Vista was the perfect base for our explorations. We loved Big Fork, Lakeside, whitefish and made several trips to the park. Hope we can return sometime in the future.
Home was as listed and more! Home was well equip as if it was your own. We had two families included in this stay we both said if we come back for a visit, we would stay here again!
The house and location were absolutely perfect for our family of 10 which included two one year olds. Robin and Patti were excellent hosts and provided us with a beautiful well-appointed home along with a spectacular view of Flathead Lake. I highly recommend this home and will be back.
Our trip was incredible, and that started with having an amazing place to call home for the week. The space was just as described and pictures do not do it justice. It had everything we needed for the week and more! Robin even stopped by to greet us the night we arrived. Excellent location, incredible views, clean, spacious home! definitely would stay here again!

Well built and maintained. Great rental property
Great home to reconnect with family. Views are spectacular. The floor plan allows for gathering spaces as well as private spaces.
As in previous stays at Bella Vista everything was perfect. The view is spectacular. Having been born and raised in Kalispell, I can say that I do miss the view of the mountains I grew up with but the view from this property brings back great memories. Thanks the the Graham's for adding to our family time.
This property is absolutely stunning, and the view is unbeatable! The pictures don’t even do this justice, every inch of this property is meticulously cared for and beautiful. We had the best family vacation!
This home is absolutely STUNNING. The views, proximity to beaches, all the amenities.. you can’t go wrong. You will have everything you can imagine, they reallymake you feel at home- even some spices and little things you may have forgotten to bring. Thank you for sharing your home, our family had a beautiful vacation.
Well thought-out house with amazing views and livability. Hosts are truly next level people — famous and approachable. This was a bucket list place to stay.
A beautiful home. When we come back or my Montana family comes back to somers area we will call again. I travel the us for work and play and when I fined a gem I mark it the book
Visited Montana to reconnect with family and enjoy the mountains and Glacier! The homeowners and home were absolutely lovely with gorgeous views, plenty of space for our 8, fun games (ping pong!), and perfect location near the lake.
The property was even better than the listing showed! We had an incredible view, plenty of space, lots of toys and activities for the kiddos, and such a serene getaway. Would 10 out of 10 recommend. We'll be back for sure!
Our stay at Buena Vista was wonderful. House and property was ideal for my large group. Home had everything we needed. Views were great as was the location on the lake. Host was readily available and stopped by to introduce herself. House has a great layout offering space and privacy for everyone. We cant wait to come back
The home was perfect for our family. Great location, the only issue was that the property owner showed up daily to either work on the house or the yard area, although he was very friendly it felt a little awkward with him being there and us at the same time.
This was a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed the view and proximity to various activities. The cornhole, ping pong table and hot tub were enjoyed by all. Thank you for responding quickly to any questions!
Year after year, Bella Vista is incredible. A beautiful and comfortable home with an excellent view of Flathead Lake. Patti and Robin provide every amenity, and their home is immaculately maintained. Excellent in every way.
Beautiful views and setting! The house was immaculate and spacious -- very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and the landscaping was gorgeous. We had a small group but the house could accommodate a larger one. The hosts were responsive and helpful as well.
Many thanks to our host for a lovely space. We had a family reunion here, 8 adults and 2 little kids, and it was perfect. They had a fire pit and hottub for the adults, and toys and high chairs for the little ones. The view is incredible and location is great for both flathead lake and the National park. The hosts were lovely and attentive and easy. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Robin and Patti Graham
After a 5 year epic voyage of sailing a small boat around the world and writing the books “Dove” and “The Boy Who Sailed Around The World Alone”, Patti and I left the west coast of California forty two years ago to ride the wave of the “Back to the Land Movement” in Montana. We bought a quarter section of mountain top for $95 dollars an acre, built our log home, grew our own food and raised the gamut of farm critters. We also wrote about our struggles of growing in the Christian faith and our experiences of trying to live simply in “Home is the Sailor”. After 32 years we were missing the water so in 2003 we bought an older cabin on Flathead Lake. After spending our first night there we never spent another at the ranch and have never once looked back. We had come home. Two years later we built and moved into our dream home next door to our lovely historic cabin. After we had a couple of wonderful family “VRBO” vacations in Mexico we decided to list our lake cabin as a VRBO rental. It was a great experience. But as time goes on the wanderlust was creeping back and we wanted to do some more traveling. We sold our lake cabin, built nearby a wonderful 3750 sq. ft. “VRBO” yearly rental, 'Bella Vista', on the hillside overlooking Somers Bay and now are offering our personal home, 'A Delightful Sailor's Home', as a VRBO summer rental as we come and go. We hope you will enjoy the Flathead Valley as much as we do.
