Great location. Walking distance to everything in downtown Bigfork. Right behind a bar so can be a little loud if they have live music on weekends or late night cornhole in the parking lot.

Best vacation in a beautiful town

We were in town for a wedding and our best decision was to stay at The Loft on Bigfork Bay. Accommodations were perfect for us. Location is excellent and everyone is so friendly. We walked to every restaurant in the area and every meals were amazing. Recommendations of restaurants and things to do were spot on. We would all love to come back. Highly recommend!

Good times in Bigfork

We had a wonderful time staying here. The property was everything that was advertised. Kelly and her group were very accommodating and provided local information on many different things in the area. The proximity to the main street in the town was fabulous and having the lake right at the property provided an alternative for our group. I would recommend this place for those looking to enjoy a best of both world, water and urban. Thank you Kelly

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The apartment was a perfect accommodation for two couples. Two nice bedrooms and two baths. Location was on the lake and convenient to restaurants, shopping, and parks. However, this building is adjacent to a bar, and there was a music stage outside our door in the parking area. We had to park across the street. We were told originally it was just for one night, but performers played both nights. It was very loud.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Paulson

Host profile image
Built by my Mom and Dad, and my name is Kelly Paulson. We always wanted to welcome new guests into our home and this property was designed to do so. We have THE LOFT and we also have THE INN on Bigfork Bay. Both work harmoniously to fit into the scene of Bigfork. My Mother passed away in 2005 but everyone in this tiny town knows of Donna Paulson and her legacy. This was her dying wish to have me open our hearts and (hers) to other people to let them know about this amazing place. We hope you enjoy our property and thanks for booking!
