Beautiful Log Home Overlooking Flathead Lake in Bigfork Montana!

We are Jim and Penny and we love northwest Montana! This property has been a cherished place for our family for 40+ years. It really is amazing and renewing. In the 1980s our visits here were to see Grandpa and the cousins. We would stay in one of the small cabins at the place and our children loved it! Later we became owners and in 2005 built our dream retirement home. We called it Cherry Creek Retreat because of the beautiful stream that originates and runs through the land and cherry trees. Cherry Creek Retreat has continued to be a special place for our family and friends to gather and even to have weddings and reunions. In 2006 we started renting out our home to vacation renters while making it available for local renters during the Winter. In 2025 we began renting out the smaller original house year round to our wonderful property manager. We are fortunate to have great neighbors who help out when needed and also enjoy our many conversations with renters. We are happy to say they have found the place to be amazing too!

Grandpa Jim was raised nearby and had a dream to find the perfect property on the Flathead Lake before he retired in the 1970s. He knew the land well and what he wanted. It was to be a place with it's own natural spring, a view of the lake, good for growing cherries and putting in fish ponds, bordered by forest, close to town but with the feel of being in nature. He found this place and it is indeed special! We fell in love with it ourselves years ago, and the feeling only grew as time went on. Now we know others feel the same. Since we've built the Log House and let the property be used at times as a vacation rental, we hear from so many, "This place is heaven on earth!"

Ever changing growth of nature and food! We have cherry, apple, pear, peach and plum trees. We have raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries, blueberries and honeyberries. There are trout stocked ponds. Some years we plant a vegetable garden. You may pick and eat from all that is there. Kids love to play here. Families love to gather in spots all over the property and talk or play games. We're not in town, but close enough to get there easily. The scenery is spectacular! The log home is very nice. There is also a small overflow cabin available.
