This gorgeous custom loft located on the Achewa property overlooks the northern side of the Flathead lake (pictures cannot do the views day or night justice). Within minutes you can be swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing etc in the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi or hiking in the Swan Mountain range. There is a grocery store within 15 minutes in Kalispell, MT and great restaurants within 15-20 minutes in Big Fork, MT (Make reservations in the summer!).
The west entrance of Glacier National Park is about 45-50 minutes from the loft but about 3 hours if you drive to further point in the park (along Going-to-Sun Road) to Many Glacier. Despite the drive to the park, the amenities and privacy of this loft, made the drive much more palatable to staying inside the very busy park.
This loft is not for individuals uninterested in caring for this property during your stay, as if it were your own. However, it is perfect for those looking for a quiet, down to earth place to stay and live among some of the nicest individuals I have ever met. The loft does have a fully stocked kitchen with nearly every small and large appliance. Off of the garage under the loft, there is a washer and dryer for use, as well. On the property, you will also find the owners' home and a horse barn with a section rented for "glamping."
One last note, it was quickly evident that the area was experiencing a drought and very warm temperatures during our stay. Check the weather or talk to the owners for a more updated weather report to best pack for your trip (the owners were super helpful when planning for our trip). We recommend lots of sunscreen and hats during outdoor adventures. The windows in the loft open and it cooled quickly overnight. There is also an air conditioner but we used it rarely opting for fans to save energy.
