Wake up to the sound of waves gently lapping against the rocks. Head out to the expansive back deck and enjoy the water views that sparkle during sunrise and sunset. Grill some steak and serve up the drinks at the cabana bar. Throw on the swimsuit as swimming, fishing, sunbathing, kayaking, paddle boarding and boating are all available right off the dock. Nap, stargaze or soak in the serenity of the lake from the hammock. Go for a refreshing rinse in the outdoor shower or end the day with a relaxing time around the fire pit.
We’ve added something truly special to your island escape: a beautifully crafted viewing tower with 360-degree views of the sparkling lake and surrounding mountains. Climb to the top for a peaceful sunrise, a private sunset moment or lose yourself in a good book from the cozy reading nook nestled inside.
Aside from the water toys, your stay also includes the use of a 14 ft aluminum boat with electric motor for those short trips to shore. We’ll show you where to dock this boat while you’re onshore.
We will shuttle you in our tritoon on check-in and check-out but you’re also welcome to bring your boat. There is plenty of public parking onshore for your vehicles.

Why they chose this property
Emerald island is one of the cluster islands nestled at the northern point of Flathead Lake in Montana. It sits in Somers Bay that gets partial protection from strong winds and waves. We love the sense of community here and are happy to support local business in the area. Somers is a quaint town and home to many who enjoy the beauty of this place all year round.
What makes this property unique
What's amazing about Emerald Island is the views that people have to see to believe. We kept the natural look of the island which gives the feeling of being close to nature. We provided numerous amenities that normally take guests more than a week to get tired of. Our delighted guests leave with unforgettable memories and experiences and lots of post-worthy photos to share with friends.
