Cozy Lakeside Winter Cabin, Pet Friendly, Cedar Hot Tub with Moonrise Views

Tucked among the evergreens on the southwest shore of Priest Lake, the Treehouse is a spacious cedar retreat with beautiful filtered lake views. Built above our family’s garage, this two-bedroom home is private, light-filled, and surrounded by nature, designed for relaxation in every season.

Inside, you’ll find vaulted cedar ceilings, large windows, and an open floor plan connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The space feels bright and airy in summer and warm and cozy in winter, thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to feel at home. Step out onto the large deck to grill, dine, or enjoy a quiet morning coffee while snow settles on the pines.

After a day exploring the lake, trails, or nearby winter recreation, unwind in the cedar hot tub. Soak beneath the trees, watch the light shift across the water, and let the stillness of Priest Lake settle in. It’s an especially peaceful way to end a winter day.

Guests have access to our 69 feet of shared sandy beach and private dock, just a short walk down the path from the Treehouse. In the warmer months, tie up your boat (up to 24 ft), enjoy the fire pit by the water, or wade in along the shallow shoreline. In winter, the lakeside setting offers quiet walks, open views, and a true sense of escape.

The Treehouse is located in Kalispell Bay, one of the most sought-after areas on Priest Lake. You’re close to the marina, resorts, hiking trails, and dining, yet tucked back in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood.

Priest Lake Marina: less than 5 minutes away (boat rentals, fuel, supplies)
Hill’s Resort: a short drive or scenic walk for dining, drinks, and winter recreation
Elkin’s Resort: 10-minute drive with lakefront dining and seasonal events

In summer, spend your days swimming, boating, fishing, or exploring the lake’s many islands and trails. In winter, cozy up after snowshoeing or cross-country skiing along the shoreline, or take a scenic drive to Schweitzer Mountain, Idaho’s premier ski destination, about 1.5 hours away.
