Get location

The location is awesome, the views of the mountains and lake are spectacular. Home could use some updating and repairs, and more space available to use the cabinets in the kitchen. But if you can over look that, it is worth it to stay there, plenty of places to sleep and seating for kitchen and living area. Host was very helpful and returned our calls.

Beautiful Spot on the Lake

The neighborhood is charming and we loved our daily walks to see the dozens of resident deer. The cove is perfect for swimming and we loved spending every morning and evening on the porch. The home is well loved but is comfortable. This was our 2nd time staying at the property and we look forward to coming back. Michael is a great host and very responsive.

A wonderful time

This is my idea of the perfect lake place. We felt like we were family friends of the owners! The place is filled with personal memories but we like that. The porch was amazing. We spent most of our time in the water and on the porch. The grandkids ran between the water, which was cold but as a life long Flathead Lake swimmer, I expected, and the hot tub. My cold water loving son and I spent hours swimming. Perfect!!! Completely recommend for people who come for the old fashioned lake experience.

Kitchen had a lot to be desired, we had all we needed, but there was old spices left in cupboards. When you opened the door where the dishes were it smelled like a chemical. The beds were not made, sheets were there for us to make the beds. Way too much clutter in the rooms. I do not want to give a bad review, but the cleaners could do a much better job. Michael was helpful, and we loved being on a lake. I understand the appeal to stay here, I just wish the place had a more welcoming clean feel to it. Rugs could be replaced without a doubt. We would love to stay again and hope you pay attention to our comments.

Best views and water on the lake

This is a wonderful property set up with everything that you need. The swing on the deck was a big hit as was the peddle boat. The water in the cove stays nice and never had any problems with with the boat being docked up. Michael was great to deal with and answered any questions I had. Great spot for kids as there is a concrete ramp where they can walk down and play in the water. Even had a bear swim in the cove for a few minutes close to us. Would stay again. Thanks.

Grandpaā€™s house vibes

This property is full of personal items, not your usual VRBO. If thatā€™s not for you, take notice. We however LOVED this home. The proximity to the lake is amazing. We loved the kayaks & canoes and jumping off the dock was a full time activity for our kids. The weather was chilly our week and the hot tub was perfect. Finding a house that sleeps this many is a challenge and we were all comfortable. Tons of games in the closet, beach towels and anything youā€™d need in the kitchen. Weā€™ll be back :)

Beautiful and Relaxing Rental!

I stayed in this home with my friends and family for my 30th birthday celebration and it was amazing! We loved waking up everyday and watching the sunrise from the rocking chairs on the porch. We had a blast with the swing on the dock and even braved the chilly waters. The home was spacious and comfortable and the cove was so peaceful. We all enjoyed taking the canoe and paddleboat out and we all made great memories together! We even took a drive to visit Glacier National Park and Whitefish. We had a fantastic time! The cleanliness in the kitchen could be improved but overall I would rent this home again!!! :)

Beautiful House, Beautiful Location And Fabulous Communication

We had a great time and created some amazing memories at such a beautiful home and location in Montana. The home and property were our home base for the week. I was joined by my wife and two children, my two brothers and their spouses and children and had plenty of room in the house. We flew into Calgary and drove down through East Glacier. We spent one day hiking in West Glacier, we spent another day in West Glacier on the Red Bus Tour. We rented a pontoom boat for a day and explored Flathead Lake. We visited several of the towns around Flathead Lake before departing to Radium Hot Springs and Banff in Canada before flying back home from Calgary. We had plenty of time to enjoy the charm of the house, refreshing in the coolness of the lake and warming up in the hottub in the evening. Great communication and I highly recommend a visit!

Great location but the property has some problems

We loved the location of the house - it was spectacular. However, the house itself has some problems. It was not clean. Furniture and rugs were visibly dirty. The house is very cluttered. The cabinets in the kitchen have old food that looks like it has been there for years. The closets and drawers are all stuffed full so there is no way to unpack. We also saw mice in the upstairs bedroom and the kitchen. When we arrived, the cleaning staff was still there and not done yet. They said there were just a couple beds they still had to make and sheets were in the laundry. We agreed to make those last few beds ourselves. However, they clearly misrepresented how much was left because not a single bed was made. We had to start off our vacation by making every single bed in the house. All in all, we had a fun trip and truly loved Finley Point, but the house needs to be cleaned and updated. The owner was very very responsive.

This is a Lodgy 1940s home that is older that has a great floor plan with character. There is a closet and a dresser in every room empty for our renters to use. Yes there are owners clothing in a dresser that is not for use for the renters and a double closet in the master that only 1 side is full of owners clothing. This home is not a modern updated property. All the flooring is brand new but all and all this home is a large family cabin and that's the experience most of our renters are looking for. Owner

Great lakeside location!

The location of the cabin is near perfect, and the outside of the home is excellent, some noise from construction on both sides of the property but otherwise it was a peaceful spot, other reviews are accurate of the inside of the home and itā€™s cabinets and closets being full and cluttered. Only issue we had was the lack of any smoke detectorsā€¦.. , I would stay here again if some things were addressed. But overall we had a great time at this place.

Wonderful week!

We stayed for the 4th of July week and had a wonderful time. The house is comfortable and obviously cared for with love. The yard and dock were in great condition and we enjoyed the hot tub (especially because the lake was a little chilly). We'd definitely come back, all my family members had a great time!

Smoky vacation!

Property was great for view and wildlife! Cabin needed a little work, the living room furniture really does need to be replaced. The chairs and sofa were really low to the ground(bad for knees), the two recliners are wore out, no cushiony support left. There was plenty of beds to go around and they were really comfortable. Could use a really deep cleaning. Clean out all the old food in the cupboards and we noticed quite a few carpenter ants(big ones)! We were stuck inside most of the time because of the smoke, so the comfort of the furniture really came into play!

Would definitely rent again!

The property is in a perfect location! The cove made for calm water around the dock almost the entire week. The house was as advertised in other reviews. Furniture and kitchen are quite dated, but serviceable. The bathrooms were clean. Michael was easy to reach and very accommodating. Everyone loved the swing on the dock and the calm cove to kayak in. Would love to come back again!

Great location!

The location of this property is fantastic. The house is very dated and cluttered with family items but was fairly clean. There is a little bit of a funky smell but it could be just the age of everything in it. The kitchen had everything we needed including lots of items I hadn't seen since the 70s! We actually got a kick out of the rotary phone and some of the other ā€œvintageā€ items. The king bed was extremely comfortable! We were disappointed that the hot tub was broken and Michael seemed surprised when I called him however I see the people that rented it before us also complained. We enjoyed the amazing views, the quiet location and the fire pit every night. Itā€™s a very nice spot on the lake in a quiet cove. We enjoyed our time at Flathead!
