グレーシャー国立公園のすぐ外のスプーンレイクフロント

We are Ed & Jo Beveridge, the proud owners of this lovely Spoon Lake home since the summer 2013. We fell in love w/ the serenity & beauty of Spoon Lake + the custom log-accented home the minute we saw it.

It's our little slice of heaven on a serene lake in the Flathead National Forest just outside Glacier National Park & we would like you to enjoy it too. One of our guests came back in 2025 for their 6th year in a row.

I'm Ed, a 5th generation Montanan. I have spent most of my life living in or visiting Montana, especially the Flathead Valley, from wherever life has taken me. You never can get Montana out of your blood. I have been enjoying Glacier National Park like my great-grandparents, grandparents, & parents most of my life. We lived for many years on Flathead Lake through my teen years & into college. We also enjoyed Whitefish Lake for over 13 years when our kids were younger like I did as a small kid.

My wife, Jo, is a converted Minnesota gal who loves her singing loons & the mountain lakes in Montana. We have been bringing our three sons to Montana since they were little & now, they bring our grandchildren as often as possible, but we don't usually rent to VRBO guests when they are here.

Finally, our dream of retiring to Spoon Lake came true in 2020. We've been enjoying all 4 seasons now & really embrace our Spoon Lake lifestyle. We hope you enjoy your time w/ us your own apartment. We endeavor to give you all the privacy you need.

This property is 8.5 miles north of Columbia Falls, a little town between Whitefish & West Glacier. Historic & remote Polebridge is 29 miles further up the road with remote access to GNPs western slope glacial lakes. You can also access GNP from the Camas Road entry about 12 miles north of Lake Drive. The pavement ends about 3 miles past Lake Drive after the back road shortcut at the Blankenship Road turnoff to West Glacier. Everyone who has stayed at the Spoon Lake Lodge seems to spend most of their time hiking, fishing, exploring Glacier Park & all the wonderful surrounding communities & lakes. People drive all over to Many Glacier near the Canadian border & Two Medicine on the eastern side of the park. Be sure to check the annual Going to the Sun Road opening date. The date is flexible depending on snow removal efforts each spring. It is VERY IMPORTANT you visit the GNP website for reservation details in addition to any other National Park pass you may already have to access the Going to the Sun Road & the North Fork entry at Polebridge. The rsvp system seems to change every year.

We offer you a very comfortable place w/ a spectacular, serene view & the songs of our Spoon Lake loons with all the comforts of home at the end of your day. Or just relax & take a spin in the canoe, kayaks right outside your door.

Please review carefully, as we only offer the bottom floor separate apt facing the lake for your use.

The Cabin consists of 3 floors: The Top Floor, the Middle Floor, and the Lower Floor apartment that opens out to Spoon Lake. As noted, we only rent the Lower Floor apartment which is fully contained & locked off from the top two floors. We may or may not be present during your stay.

Your cozy rental provides 2 big picture windows at the living area & bedroom. The covered patio at your front door has an outdoor table & 4 chairs, a BBQ with a splendid lake view. We provide your clean towels & linens, all ready for your arrival. You have the use of the 2 kayaks and a canoe. The floating barge w/ trolling motor attached to the dock is only for the OWNERS ONLY. Spoon Lake is a 'no wake' 60-acre lake, so it's usually very quiet. Enjoy a romantic & relaxing 'suits optional' spa in our Nordic Hot Tub right outside your bedroom window below the upper deck. It is for your exclusive private use while you are here. We will maintain the water chemistry when you are absent. Feel free to forage for huckleberries if you feel lucky.

Our cleaning service takes care of all bedding & linen washing & general cleaning when you leave. You may leave any unused items in the refrigerator. If anything, it would help if you turn on the dishwasher. There is no garbage service in this rural area. A bear-proof garbage can is provided for your use. Please make sure it is secure. If we aren't here to take care of your garbage disposal & you are collecting too much you will need to take it to the Columbia Falls waste collection center at 1073 Best Way, Columbia Falls, MT 59912 or a bin somewhere on your adventures. Otherwise, our cleaning service will dispose of it upon your departure.
