We had a last-minute work trip in Kalispell and decided to spend a couple days on the lake. We weren't really familiar with the area, so I spent quite a bit of time reading reviews of homes all around the lake, from Polson to Lakeside to Somers to Big Fork to Finley Point. With Labor Day weekend looming, places were filling up fast. I just knew I didn't want to have to drive to access the water, and with our last-minute scheduling, I was willing (expecting) to sacrifice comfort for great, out-the-back-door lake access. However, we didnt have to! I stumbled on this place at the end of my search and was impressed by reviews. This home exceeded our expectations in every way. So clean, so comfortable, with a HUGE yard, a beautiful little rocky beach area with a fire pit and chairs, and a swimming dock with a boat lift (we will use that next time when we rent a boat). The property manager was so courteous and responsive. I noticed some reviewers mentioned the home is a little bit old-fashioned--and it is--but in such a clean, comfy, charming way that reminded me of my aunt's immaculate 1980's style lake house where I grew up. The views are spectacular...oh, and before I forget, the owner has kayaks on a rack down at the dock for guests to use! I enjoyed paddling for hours one afternoon. I also was so grateful for the pet-friendliness, as we needed to bring our little dogs on this trip. Can't wait to come back next summer.
