About this property

A Delightful Sailor's Home with a Spectacular Waterfront Location

Some of our guests have said, “Amazing home!”, “We loved this home”, “Ideal location!”, “Perfect spot for our family, “Immaculate”, “This is by far our most FAVORITE vacation yet”, “Highly recommended”, “We cannot wait to come back”, “Most fun vacations I’ve ever had!!”, “Truly gracious hosts who thought of everything to make us feel at home”, “It was really hard to leave”

You will appreciate our home on lovely Flathead Lake and how easy it is to get to Kalispell, Whitefish Mountain Resort, and Glacier National Park.

Our sailing and ocean background has heavily influenced the design and construction of our 3061 square foot home. It has a very coastal and nautical feel with painted open beam ceilings, painted tongue and groove wood plank walls, and Brazilian cherry wood floors. Almost every room has a gorgeous view of the lake and the home is decorated with our mementos from around the world. The kitchen has custom knotty pine cabinets plus granite countertops and a lovely viewing area that is perfect for your first cup of coffee. The master suite and elegant travertine tiled bathroom are on the main floor next to a smaller bedroom and bath perfect for children. The living room has a hand-crafted tile gas fireplace. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a striking bathroom with a large soaking tub and tiled shower. There is a very spacious family room where you can play games or watch a movie. The fifth bed room is on the third floor, aptly named, “The Crow's Nest”, where the view is spectacular. The deck has two levels, one for barbequing and outside dining, the other for lounging and soaking in the hot tub. We have a nice dock for your boat and two stable kayaks to tour the lake.

Our home was designed and built by us, Robin and Patti Graham, home builders and author of the books “Dove” and “Home is the Sailor”.

We are now offering our home as a weekly rental while we do some more traveling and enjoy our grandkids

We stayed in flathead Lake Montana for a family vacation. There was plenty of room for everyone. Lots of baby items, so we didn’t have to pack them. There were also lots of toddler/kids toys, games, dvd’s, to use up in the large family room. The view from the house was incredible! We did some swimming, walking, kayaking while we were there. Also drove to Glacier Nat’l Park one day…it was amazing! My family said it was one of the best trips…

Our family (including two grandparents and our children) enjoyed a wonderful week at A Sailor's Home. The location is wonderful, with the private dock serving us well for renting a pontoon boat, a wake boat and jet skis during our week. The home reflects such pride of ownership and provides insights into the family's remarkable sailing adventures. We enjoyed the hot tub and made use of the kayaks and other water toys provided. The kitchen was well stocked with oils and spices for cooking (we cooked virtually every meal), and we loved watching the Canadian geese make their way across the lake each day. We were able to get to Glacier National Park easily. We would highly recommend this home and would stay there again in a heartbeat if we come back to the area. The hosts were gracious and welcoming and made themselves available for any questions.

Wonderful home on Flathead Lake

Our family had an incredible time in this immaculately decorated and designed home on the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunset and moon rise over the mountains in the evenings as well as kayaking and boating during the day. We were able to rent a boat out to Wild Horse Island and even take a day trip into Glacier NP. It made an excellent home base for our family.

Our second year staying at the property and it never disappoints. The home is immaculate and incredibly comfortable. All the amenities you could ask for, from the kitchen to the water toys. Patti and Robin are amazing hosts. They are so easy to communicate with, gracious and accommodating. Our kids love the toys they provide and the outdoor space provides everything both adults and children could want. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay at the lake.

A Delightful Sailor's Home was an amazing place for me and my family. There were 7 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room with lots of places to hang out inside and out. We stayed for a full week and could not have asked for a better location, home, or set up. The house was beautiful, clean and situated right on Flathead Lake. The dock was perfect for swimming, and the home came with all the amenities, toys, activities and accessories we could ask for. The owners were incredibly responsive and gave us tons of recommendations for what to do. We would 100% stay here again!

Enjoying Flathead

This is the second time we have stayed at Robin's & Patti's home. The experience is magical with our entire family (7 adults) enjoying a peaceful and comfortable week in their beautiful home. Kayaking, fishing, hiking, boating, relaxing & cooking were all on the menu. The Graham's are gracious hosts and we look forward to continuing to use their home for future family gatherings.

Amazing stay and great hosts

We loved our stay here and hope to stay here again in the future. We brought our boat with us and kept it on the dock. My boys fished on the dock as well. Kayaks and canoes are provided plus much water toys. The home is beautifully decorated and has a nice island feel. Host Patti was amazing and replied quickly to questions. She also mailed back prescriptions I forgot at their home.

THE BEST

It’s hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay at this property. There were two families of four, all with children under the age of 7 and we simply didn’t want to leave. From the moment you wake up and get to take in the lakefront view in each room, to the day spent on the incredible deck, lawn and beach, it was the best lake house I’ve ever stayed at. Patti and Robin could not have been more accommodating and the pictures do not do this property justice. We will absolutely be coming back.

Early summer lakeside vacation

My family (me, my husband and 3 children) spent a week in Robin’s beautiful lakeside home. The home is high end, tastefully and thoughtfully decorated. The water temp was a bit chilly. We kayaked, rented a boat and fished on Flathead lake. We cooked and grilled everyday which was easy as the kitchen was set up for it. We enjoyed July 4 fireworks from the deck which was fun. We are are close to both Kaleipell and Glacier National Park. We all greatly enjoyed our stay at Robin’s special home.

We have stayed at this beautiful lake house more than once, and every visit has been nothing short of amazing. The home itself is stunning—spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The owners have gone above and beyond to make it feel welcoming, from the cozy furnishings to the little details that make a big difference.The location on the lake is simply perfect. Waking up to the serene water views, enjoying coffee on the deck, and watching the sunset in the evenings made our time here so memorable. It truly feels like a peaceful retreat, yet with plenty of fun activities right at your doorstep.The accommodations are top-notch—well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and plenty of space for everyone to relax. You can tell, Patti and Robin, the owners care deeply about their property and about ensuring guests have a wonderful experience.We can’t recommend this lake house enough. It’s the kind of place you look forward to coming back to again and again, and we’re so grateful to have found it!

Absolutely amazing!

Our family enjoyed a week-long stay here at the end of June. Our crew consisted of adults and kids ranging in ages from 6-13. I grew up going to Flathead lake every summer and this was my first opportunity to share that experience with my kids. Patti’s place was perfect in every way; it brought forth every bit of nostalgia from my childhood summers on the lake. It’s warm and welcoming and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need- from water toys to board games- to a range of tools, spices, linens, etc. to prepare home cooked meals. The views are stunning, grounds and dock are incredibly well maintained and provided the perfect setting to make special memories with my family. Beyond the space, Patti was communicative, kind, and accommodating. I could not have asked to a better experience and am grateful for this gem of a location to make special memories with my family.

Sailors Home

We're had such a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The home was just perfect in every way,from the rooms to the dock (which includes all sorts of kayaks and water toys), the patios, kitchen and BBQ, just wonderful. They really thought of everything, wood for the fire pit by the lake, plenty of fuel for the BBQ, toys, games, books and DVD, each with something for all ages... and the views, just amazing. We got a lot of use from the dock with the kayaks included and a rental boat from nearby. Robin and Patti were just wonderful in every way and we are glad we got to meet them as they are so fun and interesting (not a lot of people I know have books and movies about their adventures like the Graham's). It was a perfect week.

Our favorite Flathead Lake home

If you're looking for a peaceful escape with plenty of charm, A Sailor’s Home is ideal. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the stunning lake views and the beautiful backyard. Inside, the home is immaculate with the owner’s personal memorabilia throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy to whip up meals for family and friends. The bedrooms are comfy and inviting, and the bathrooms are clean and well-appointed. The best part of this lake house is the outdoor space. The grass area is perfect for kids to play and there’s a private dock where you can swim, fish, take out a kayak or access your private boat, if you choose to rent one from the nearby marinas. And at night, the fire pit is the perfect spot for roasting marshmallows and socializing. The hosts, Patti and Robin are wonderful and make sure you have everything you need for a great stay. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Vacationing on Flathead Lake has become a yearly tradition for my family and this home has been our favorite to date. You will not regret renting this home and the beautiful setting, comfortable amenities, and friendly hosts make it a place you'll want to come back to again and again.

A Gem on Flathead Lake

My family and I have been vacationing on Flathead lake for many years. This was the first time we’ve stayed on this side of the lake and we hope it will not be our last! The house was perfect for what we needed. All of the unique touches in the home, combined with the amazing view made for a perfect little gateway. We hope to return in the future to this sailors gem!

Special week!

The Grahams are great hosts. Their house is beautifully decorated and always in exceptional condition. Everything needed for a great vacation, both inside and out, is provided. We have stayed at the Graham's home many times over the last several years. Every week has been speial for our entire family and has given us all many great memories. Our grandchildren especially love kayaking in front of the house as well as taking longer trips further out on the lake, as we all do. It's also the perfect spot to boat from, and many other activities are close if you choose to spend some time away from the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Robin and Patti Graham

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

Our home in Somers is nestled on the north shore of beautiful Flathead Lake and Blacktail Mountain. Flathead Lake is 28 miles long and up to 15 miles wide. The lake’s sparkling waters and miles of tree-lined shore offer unlimited recreational opportunities and wildlife habitat. Overlooking it all are the magnificent Swan and Mission mountain ranges. A 5 minute drive will also get you to Tamarack Brewing Company. The “rack” is the best spot to relax with great food and handcrafted ales. Located 8 miles south of Kalispell, our community is the destination spot for locals as well as tourists. All four seasons in Somers offers something for everyone, from skiing the slopes of Blacktail Mountain (only 30 minutes away with spectacular scenery) to sailing and boating majestic Flathead Lake. We are 30 minutes from Glacier Park International Airport and 45 minutes from the majestic Glacier National park and Whitefish Mountain resort. Whether you are looking to relax or to play we have it all. Stay inside and catch a movie in our comfy home or take a soak in the hot tub overlooking the lake. In the winter and spring go ski, snowboard, snowshoe, cross country ski or snowmobile. In the summer enjoy water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, kayaking, swimming or fish right from our private dock. Just a quick 10 minute drive away you will also find Eagle Bend Golf Club that has 27 holes of exquisite golf. One of the best courses in the Northwest, Eagle Bend has held #1 in Montana Six consecutive years. Other areas of interest include the Bigfork Playhouse, Glacier Symphony and Chorale, Hockaday Museum of Art, the Conrad Mansion, and the Central School Museum.
