Family vacation
The place is wonderful! It has lots of amenities and is close to several places to spend time at the lake. Glacier National Park is close enough that you can make a day trip. We enjoyed the lake view from the house and the spacious home. There was plenty of room for 8 people and we never felt crowded. We would definately stay here again!

Great Property for Family Get Togethers
What a great place to stay near Flathead Lake. We're not sure how often Kelli and Mark open their house to guests since it appears we were the third group to stay here, but if the property is available during your stay, book this house if you can. There were plenty of bedrooms to accommodate everyone and allow them some privacy, but still lots of common space to sit and chat or play games. Evenings could be spent sitting in the hot tub or around the fire pit in the front yard watching the sun set over the lake. We also spent evening sitting around the kitchen table playing games with the kids. If you like grilling up some steaks or burgers, there's a grill and picnic area on the back patio with plenty of seating for your guests. Unfortunately, we were there too late in the season to pick our own cherries and too early to avail ourselves of the apples and pears in the orchards in the front and back yards. Internet was available and the smart TVs in all the rooms allows connection to your favorite streaming services. Kelli and Mark stay on the property on the other side of the front orchard, so they're available if any problems crop up--none during our stay, but it was nice that they were available if needed. Our review can't even begin to do justice of how great a place this is to stay. The pictures on the VRBO site show off all the rooms, but until you stay here, you won't realize how spacious this lovely home is. Thanks Kelli and Mark for a great week in Montana.

Perfect Flathead Lake home
We loved every minutes of our stay at Mark & Kelli’s home overlooking Flathead Lake. Their home is spacious, well furnished and comfortable, and the cherry trees right outside the back patio were laden with abundant and delicious cherries. We would love to come back for a return visit!
We loved this property! Great location. Large spacious house, with rooms that give you privacy, if you are traveling with a large group. Would recommend 100 times over! Kelli and Mark are wonderful host!
