Welcome to ShangriLog—a name inspired by the mythical paradise of Shangri-La, celebrated for its untouched beauty, serenity, and harmony with nature. This stunning 3,000 sq. ft. waterfront log home on Bull Lake in Northwest Montana embodies that same sense of peaceful escape, offering breathtaking views of the Cabinet Mountains and the surrounding wilderness. Located just 30 minutes from Troy, ShangriLog is the perfect all-season retreat for families, couples, and groups looking to unwind, explore, and reconnect with nature.
Built in 2006 by an Amish craftsman from Western Montana, this beautifully maintained home sits along 85 feet of private shoreline on the crystal-clear Bull Lake. With 22 miles of scenic shoreline, the lake is ideal for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating. Whether you’re savoring a home-cooked meal in the fully equipped kitchen, curling up by the fireplace, or enjoying drinks on the deck, you’ll be surrounded by expansive lake and mountain views from nearly every room.
Inside the Home
The main floor welcomes you with a warm entryway and a central stone fireplace. The open-concept kitchen flows into the inviting living area and out onto a spacious deck with unobstructed views of Bull Lake and the Cabinet Mountains. Large windows throughout the home invite in natural light and showcase the surrounding beauty.

*Please Note*
In 2023, a fire affected the driveway side of the property. While the lakeside, interior, and overall guest experience remain completely intact and beautiful, the driveway is still in the process of being restored. You may notice building materials, two parked trailers, and a truck in the area at times. The site has been professionally cleaned, tested, and cleared as safe by the fire marshal. We truly appreciate your understanding as we continue this work and believe the comfort of the home and its peaceful lakefront setting far outweigh any temporary visual impact.
A True Wilderness Experience
This area remains uncrowded and naturally preserved. You won’t find large resorts or commercial attractions—just genuine Montana wilderness and friendly, quiet communities. Wildlife sightings are common and may include deer, elk, eagles, moose, or even bears. Always be mindful when exploring outdoors and practice bear safety.
