The Overlook at Flathead Lake, Polson

A newly renovated two bedroom retreat on the south shore in Polson, with king beds, a full chef ready kitchen, and complimentary continental breakfast served next door every morning.

Some places make you work for the view. This one hands it to you the moment you walk in.

The entire living side of this newly renovated home is wrapped in glass, and on the other side of that glass is Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in the western United States, with the Mission Mountains rising behind it. You will see it from the sofa, from the dining table, from the kitchen island, and from the breakfast bar. Sunrises are quiet and golden. Sunsets put on a show.

Inside, the home has been redone top to bottom in a warm modern Montana style: wide plank floors, crisp white walls, leather and corduroy seating, wildlife art, and a sculptural three sided glass fireplace wrapped in brass as the living room centerpiece. It is the kind of space that photographs well and lives even better.

Both bedrooms are set up for real rest. Each has a king bed dressed in white hotel quality linens, walnut nightstands, a wall mounted TV, a ceiling fan, and a wall of built in storage that swallows everything you brought. The bathroom is fresh and modern, with a marble look tub and shower combination, a floating vanity, and a backlit LED mirror.

The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick lake day sandwiches to a slow Sunday dinner: double oven range, dishwasher, oversized refrigerator and freezer, butcher block counters, a large island, Keurig coffee, a retro toaster, and a properly stocked block of knives and rack of spices. Dinner seats six at the live edge table by the windows, with extra spots at the pub table, island, and breakfast bar when the whole crew gathers.

Out back, a huge covered patio and a fully fenced yard give you private outdoor space for morning coffee and evening air. Out front, the lake is directly across the road, and the marina, beaches, golf, and downtown Polson are minutes away.

And every morning of your stay, breakfast is handled: a complimentary continental spread with fresh coffee is served next door from 7 to 10 AM.

Why Guests Love This Location

• The lake is the front yard. Flathead Lake stretches 28 miles north from your windows. Swim at Boettcher Park, rent a boat or paddleboard at the marina, charter a fishing trip, or cruise out to Wild Horse Island State Park to hike among wild horses and bighorn sheep.
• Golf with a view. Polson Bay Golf Course, 27 holes along the lakeshore, is about five minutes away.
• Day trips in every direction. Glacier National Park s west entrance is roughly two hours north. The National Bison Range is about 30 minutes south. The Mission Mountains, Kerr Dam overlook, and the lower Flathead River s whitewater are all close.
• Small town flavor. Downtown Polson s restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and the Miracle of America Museum are a few minutes away. In late July, the Flathead Cherry Festival takes over Main Street, and roadside cherry stands line the highway all summer.
• Easy logistics. Roughly an hour from Kalispell and Glacier Park International Airport, and about an hour and fifteen minutes from Missoula and its airport.
