The Inn on Bigfork Bay

The Inn on Bigfork Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Booked this rather last minute for just one night to get out of town and beat the heat. What a gem. The perfect location, gorgeous room as well as the rest of the Inn. The deck is spacious with an amazing view of Big Fork Bay. Parking was easy even for our rather oversized truck. Right in the heart of downtown with easy access to all restaurants and shops. The hostess could not have been more helpful and friends. Breakfast Wes a wonderful assortments of fresh local fruit, eggs, cinnamon rolls, cereals etc. The bed was a dream with high end linens. War are looking forward to an extended stay next summer."

Flo’s Cabin at Grans – Flathead Lakefront, Firepit, Dock, Kayaks, Pet Friendly.

10/10 Excellent
"As advertised, this is lakefront property! There’s a large (2 acres), mostly flat parcel with well-manicured grass, a boat deck, and a couple hundred feet of shoreline. The two cabins are toward the back end of the property away from the water but with outstanding views from the cabins. There’s also RVs (the host and their friends) that are parked on one side of the property where you’re able to park your car. Everything is completely fenced in. Down by the lakefront on the property, there’s a fire pit, a roofed structure for outdoor living (kitchen, grill, sitting area), and lawn games.The hosts (Minta and Joe) are SO kind and caring. They put extra attention to every guest and welcome you in like family. They spend most of the time on the property enjoying their boat, jet skis, grilling, and taking great care of their guests.We also brought our dog and he was right at home. Joe and Minta welcomed him like an extra special guest!We would return in a heartbeat and even offered Minta and Joe to come stay or eat a meal with us when they’re visiting next time. That’s how much we thought of their friendship and hosting. Highly recommend either cabin."

Fill your soul w/ 400' of PRIVATE waterfront w/ dock, lift, diving board & more!

10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying here for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. The location is peaceful with easy access to the freeway. It has a great set up for a multigenerational family vacation with two levels, each with their own bathrooms and kitchen. The house was extremely well-stocked for daily needs but also water adventures such as SUPs, kayaks, and lots of life jackets. The dock is AWESOME with a BBQ and a place to eat. It was quite hot during our trip but there was air-conditioning on the main floor and ceiling fans as well as air conditioning units/ceiling fans on the bottom floor and fans in the loft. Location was very convenient with a lovely 90 minute drive to Glacier NP and around 10 minutes to Bigfork. My only caveat would be that there are significant stairs both in the house and down to the dock so groups that have folks with mobility issues may want to reconsider. This wasn’t an issue for our family with elders and little ones but our elders are fairly healthy and our little ones do not run off. But this is a place I would love to rent again!"
