About this property

A Serene Lake Front Cabin Minutes from West Glacier National Park

A classic Montana log cabin sitting beside a beautiful mountain lake is what you'll find at Serene Lakefront Cabin only 15 minutes from town. Experience the wonder of nature with wildlife all around. Deer, beaver, bear, wolves and otter make their home in this mountain paradise. Hear the call of the loons, the screech of the eagles and the stunning silence of the night. Gather around and play some games or relax on the large open front porch as you watch the sunset across the lake. You can row our boat out on the lake to catch some cutthroat trout or bass and there is easy fishing for perch right off your own private dock.

Our no-smoking, no pet (or emotional support animal), property is ideal for groups of 2 to 4 people and can accommodate up to 6 people for a small additional fee. We have WiFi and a smart streaming TV on a stand for your use.

The cabin will be cleaned to our top notch standards including disinfection of surfaces as well as washing and cleaning towels, sheets and pillowcases between guests.

Serene Lakefront cabin is conveniently located 20 minutes from Glacier Park International Airport and 10 minutes from the charming town of Columbia Falls. Only a short drive (20 minutes) to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, our cabin is perfectly situated to allow you to enjoy all the recreational opportunities the area has to offer.

The cabin is located on Spoon Lake, right off the paved North Fork Road and only a few minutes from the western park boundary. Our location offers convenient access to all the hiking, fishing, rafting and recreational spots along the North Fork of the Flathead River. From your base at Serene Lakefront Cabin you can set out and explore. Hike the national park trails and take in the stunning beauty of Kintla and Bowman Lakes in the less traveled portion of the park. From highway 2, you can reach Apgar Village at the main west entrance to Glacier National Park. From there, drive the spectacular "Going to the Sun" road to Logan Pass where mountain goats roam free.

Serene Lakefront Cabin is conveniently located only 9 miles from Columbia Falls. Explore and shop in the historic western town of Kalispell, just 25 miles away, and enjoy the charm and culture of Whitefish only 18 miles away. Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, is just 35 miles to the south.

Back at Serene Lakefront Cabin the pace can slow, allowing all your cares to melt away. The peaceful waters of Spoon Lake are a perfect setting with no motorboats or jet skis to disturb the wildlife. Enjoy free WiFI and limited cell service depending on your provider, the time of day and the weather.

We focus on the outdoor experience and our beautiful cabin provides the opportunity to come close together as family and friends. You can cook in the easy access gourmet kitchen while you watch the activities on the lake. Barbecue on the gas grill or play games after a fine day of hiking, shopping or exploring. Use the convenient downstairs bedroom complete with queen bed or climb the stairs to the spectacular lake view from the master bedroom in the comfort of our king bed. Kids (and kids at heart) will enjoy the twin beds in the other upstairs bedroom.

Enjoy lower rates by booking stay dates in May or early June as well as September and October. These times offer a quieter and slower paced experience by avoiding the crowds of the peak season. In the spring you can catch hungry fish and watch as the wildlife emerges from the long winter. In the fall enjoy the colors of the turning larch trees while watching wildlife prepare for the coming winter.

Please note: Our cabin may not be appropriate for those who have difficulties walking on slopes or stairs.

For guest and property security, we have two security cameras that cover the entry driveway and the area in front and behind the detached garage above the cabin. For your privacy there are no cameras on the property that cover the cabin, lake or parking area near the cabin.

If our calendar is full for the dates you are interested in, or if you have a larger group that would like two cabins, we recommend you check the availability of the adjacent cabin at Vrbo listing #905880.

This was indeed a serene cabin! The lake is lovely at all times of day, stargazing was great from the dock, and the location is peaceful and secluded, yet close to Columbia Falls. Everything was provided and very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay!

We had a perfect stay at the cabin. We stayed for five days while exploring Glacier and it was so nice to come home to the quiet setting, beautiful lake and porch, and lovely, comfortable home. The cabin has all the amenities one would want or need, comfortable beds and furnishings, and a great location for the park. We would not hesitate to stay again.

Gorgeous cabin in the most stunning setting. Cabin was equipped with all the conveniences of home and more. Location was perfect for easy access to all surrounding areas for shopping, fishing and eating…but only if you can manage to leave the beauty of the view out of all the windows. Our only disappointment was having to leave! Can’t wait to return sometime soon!

Nice lake house and close to Glacier National Park

We had a wonderful family vacation at this lovely home. The kids especially enjoyed fishing from the dock and taking the rowboat out on the lake. The house is also conveniently close to Glacier National Park, making it easy to get to the park's entrance. We highly recommend staying here!

The Serene Lakefront Cabin is absolutely gorgeous. We had plenty of room, enjoyed fishing in the lake, and grilled out. Bill and Eliska are great communicators and Paige, who cleaned the cabin for us, was kind and thorough. Our kids didn't want to leave! Neither did we. Highly recommend. As informed by the owners, wifi can be spotty, especially if you have AT&T.

This beautiful lake cabin was amazing. The peaceful and quiet lake surrounded by the forest allows one to reset and turn off the hustle of life for awhile. The hosts thought of everything from a stocked kitchen, fishing equipment, beach towels, etc. Going above and beyond the hosts had a binder with trails and maps for the Glacier National Park. It was such a treasure to have and use on our daily hikes and planning for exploring this beautiful area. The communication with the hosts was 5 stars. We have traveled the world and stayed in many VRBO's for our stays and this place is the BEST! If you are going to Glacier National Park this is a wonderful home base to the West side of the park. We hope to be back to this beautiful cabin and woods.

Great time and wonderful place. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck, lake, and loons. House is well stocked and very cozy. Only thing I would add is the purchase of new mattresses. Other than that great place.

The Serene Lake Front Cabin was wonderful. Exactly as pictured in the photos, exceptionally clean, well stocked, and the location allows quick access to the West Glacier entrance. We had planned to eat out but loved the location and covered deck overlooking Spoon Lake so much that we ate every dinner there with our feet up after long days of hiking. The cabin is laid out very well, all systems are up-to-date, well marked and very easy to use. Information provided by the host was clear, accurate, timely, complete and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again and will be recommending this outstanding property and host to our friends and family for their trips to Glacier NP. Outstanding in every respect.

A perfect Mother-Daughter Getaway

My daughters and I had a wonderful stay in this lovely cabin! Early morning and evenings spent on the porch and overlooking Spoon Lake were incredibly peaceful! We enjoyed the sounds of nature, especially birdsong, including the call of the loon. Amazing native trees and flowers surround the cabin. We found the beds, linen and furniture to be very comfortable. And the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. Our host was very responsive and helpful. From the cabin, it is only a short drive (about 15 minutes) to the entrance of Glacier National Park. I’d love to stay here again with our grandchildren!

Amazing host and cabin! The pictures don’t do it justice. Exceptionally well stocked and the views couldn’t get any better. There was an issue prior to our trip with the dryer and the host communicated throughout and had a neighbor handle all of the logistics with the new appliance delivery. Bonus- the neighbor is so nice and we had a great chat with him. Would definitely stay again!!!!!
