About this property

2 Blocks From The Lake!

Summary:

This vacation home is close to the lake, restaurants, and 45-55 minutes from Glacier National Park. Enjoy Flathead Lake while also being within an hour from Glacier park.



You’ll love my place because of the coziness and location in the heart of Lakeside! My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).



The Space:

This vacation home is dedicated to travelers and set up to provide an exceptional vacation experience! This cozy vacation home offers three bedrooms/two bathrooms and is located two short blocks from the lake and all of its amenities. The upstairs bedroom has a queen bed with a walk in closet and a standard closet. Bedroom 2 downstairs has a queen bed and bedroom 3 has two twin XL beds. The living room downstairs has a sofa couch (full size).



This property will sleep 6-8 in beds and is located in a quiet peaceful neighborhood where you can enjoy a wonderful stay by the lake!



Guest Access:

Entire house.



The Neighborhood:

The neighborhood is just a few blocks from the lake! Close to all of the restaurants and amenities. It is off of a street though so you can get some road noise depending on the time of day. You will often see turkeys and other wildlife walking on the dirt road and sometimes into the lawn.

This is a great location if you are looking for close proximity to town and the lake and all of the wonderful amenities that Lakeside has to offer.



Getting Around:

There is plenty of parking at the house! 3 cars will fit if you park them side by side.



Most amenities are within walking or biking distance.



Other Things to Note:

Great WiFi! Roku & Smart TV

Lakeside stay

Good location. Clean accommodations. Would be nice to fix clock on the wall. Also, could not locate book with checkout instructions. Coffee pot took 45 min to an hour to brew a pot of coffee. Other than these minor things, a great stay.

Our group of relatives that joined Cal and I at this VRBO, kept thanking us for choosing this place. It was perfect for us all, spacious and so convenient to everywhere. I’m so glad I happened to come upon it. The hostesses Buddy and Shannon Branch were awesome! If there was one thing I could make a suggestion to, it would be, to add to the 2 bedrooms in the basement, a small dresser in each. I looked it over and there is enough room to put small ones. We had no place to lay our clothes, so the guest in the downstairs had to lay there clothing on there suitcases that were on the floor, a person always has some clothing that Isn’t hung up on hangers. Thank you so much Buddy and Shannon!

Nice location

The house was very conveniently located near the lake. The weather outside was very hot and so was the house. Late afternoon and evening was essentially unbearable upstairs and the portable air conditioner ran all the time. Temperatures in the upstairs part of the house felt like it was in the mid to upper 80's. The basement was 20-25 degrees cooler. A message to the owner requesting fans went unanswered. However, given the location, the house is a very nice place to stay in cooler weather.

With other family staying nearby, access to grocery store, park, public beach, coffee shop & restaurants...the space worked well for a 2-generation all-adult family. AC, internet, dishwasher, washer/dryer, grill were great! Missing a few kitchen items which we added—can opener, ice trays etc.

Awesome place to stay

The cabin was great for our trip to Lakeside! It's in a perfect location on a quiet street but only a couple minute walk to the water and the main street in town. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. The owners were super communicative and gave us tons of great recommendations. We are already planning to stay here again when we come back in the Spring!

Needs some work

Good location! They provided wrong code to get into the property, but luckily the door was unlocked and we were able to get in because they didn’t provide the right code until the next morning. The couches were dirty under the cushions and under the beds needed to be cleaned. There were some dishes that were put away dirty and the towels smelt musty. The tv had a green line down the screen, not enjoyable to watch tv.

Courtney, Thank you for the valuable feedback! We apologize we didn't send the right code the first time. We change it between stays and mistakenly sent the old one. We will provide the cleaning feedback to our cleaning company to address. We've already ordered new towels! We take all feedback seriously and work to resolve any issues to improve our guests stay. Thank you!

Nice Lakeside getaway

We had a nice stay here last weekend. The home was close to the lake and city park on the lake. We loved having most everything we needed on site. The BBQ was great to use for outdoor cooking and the living area was cozy. We ran into a few minor things and communicated them to the property owners. They were incredibly responsive and helpful! They had excellent customer service and I would definitely rent from them again.

Great for our first stay at Flathead Lake

This house worked well for our family (four adults, three kids, two dogs). We did have to do a bit of babyproofing (stairs) as one of ours is in crawling/cruising mode! The house had everything that was needed, although the propane tank on the bbq was empty upon arrival, and we didn't realize this until we were starting to cook dinner. So we used the oven instead. The beds are all very comfortable, my kids loved the big bunk beds. All of the linens and towels were very clean. It was great having. The street up to the house from the highway is busier than we anticipated, but still not too bad. Overall a very nice house, the owners were great and easy to work with. Great location for accessing multiple communities (Lakeside, Somers, Big Fork) during our stay.
