Waterfront Island Cabin with Pontoon Boat
This comfortably furnished cabin sits on the west side of Deer Island. This cool getaway cabin has 2 bedrooms plus a sleeping loft and a large deck to watch the skiers go by. Head out early in the morning for good fishing. The mainland lot across the bay has a parking area for island owners.
This home is only accessible by boat and a pontoon boat is available to carry you over to this small jewel of a vacation rental. Bring your watercraft to explore the warm waters of the lake. If you don't have one, or can't bring it with you, there are places to rent one nearby.
Step off onto your own dock and a cabin with all the modern conveniences at the rise of the hill. Two bedrooms on the main floor and one in an open loft above to sleep six. You will feel right at home in the knotty-pine wood-finished cabin and well-appointed kitchen. Spacious seating in the living room with views and a fireplace accent the home. The wrap-around deck gives you spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and lake. A fire pit and outdoor seating expand your living space to the wooded outdoors. Make sure you check out our video!
When not enjoying your island getaway, you can visit our lovely village of Bigfork about 6 miles south. Bigfork offers great restaurants, art galleries, and a professional summer theater. Glacier National Park is about 40 miles to the north where you can enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities. You may even see a mountain goat!
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Montana trip
An amazing experience, totally out of our element. Very adventurous, beautiful, and relaxing. The cabin was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you could possibly want and need. The use of the pontoon boat was a real pleasure.

Very nice location
Beautiful location with exceptional view. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards and fishing poles provided. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. The board games and blankets were great in the evenings. Beautiful weather in early August. The lake was very busy most days. A lot of stairs and we were unlucky trying to fish at the cabin. The only thing we caught was a very nice fishing net. The boat ride back and forth from the island was a great addition to the experience!

This cabin is absolutely delightful
Pretty rare that the pictures don’t do a place justice but this is one of those cases. The views are AMAZING! The cabin has everything you need for a great stay. Cozy beds, fully stocked kitchen, and a great deck space and fire pit. We enjoyed jumping in the lake every morning and kayaking around the island with the provided kayaks and paddle boards. The property manager was super responsive and always ready to help with any questions. A truly wonderful stay. Would absolutely come back!

Montana Lake House/Cabin Perfection
My girlfriend and I spent 5 nights at this incredible property and absolutely loved it. The lake and surrounding wilderness is breathtaking. Taking the boat to the property was easy and a lot of fun. The cabin and the property is gorgeous and very comfortable. We loved the stunning views in every direction, eating dinner on the deck, sitting around the fire at night, and enjoying the lake when the weather was nice. It’s an easy drive to Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake, and the towns of Bigfork and Lakeside. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing views on the rental cabin
Absolutely beautiful views from echo lake cabin rental. The lake was just as amazing, crystal clear warm waters and lots of great views all around the lake. Cabin was nice; wasn't as clean as I was expecting. Overall, it was great!

Great Stay at Lake Cabin
My family enjoyed our stay at the well-appointed cabin on Echo Lake, in Montana. All of our needs were met. We enjoyed being on the lake, water activities and a day trip to Glacier National Park nearby. Many thanks for a well-managed, beautiful site.

SIMPLY AMAZING
We could not have dreamed of a better more picturesque location, the view is spectacular; and there were some remarkable sunsets on the snow-capped mountains. The peacefulness of the island is unmatched, it's you and raw nature. It felt like the Presidential Getaway, an unreal view and amazing privacy. We kept pinching ourselves thinking it was too good of a deal to be true.
The pontoon was in great shape and an easy, quick commute to the island. It did require a little bit of boat knowledge to successfully navigate around the shallow areas, but we had no problem.
The cabin itself was absolutely perfect for the 2 of us, and could have easily housed 4 more. It was very well appointed, extremely cozy, fantastic panoramic view. The bedrooms are not large but they are very comfortable, quiet and dark at night. The kitchen was great and well stocked, and the bath was just great as well, with plenty of soft towels; all we needed.
I really can't think of a negative thing to say other than possibly the boat commute could be tricky in poor weather. But the pontoon does have overhead cover.
We will be highly recommending this location to all of our friends. They could not believe the pictures we were taking from the home. Overlooking Strawberry Mountain and others, it was spectacular.
The phone/data service was not only good but a very strong signal, we had full use of our phones and devices on the island. There's no wifi on the island, but our phone signal was 5 bars.
It was a very quick 10 minute commute to the cool town of BigFork with great views of Flathead Lake. It was also a quick 45 minutes to the main West entrance of Glacier National Park; with a beautiful and scenic drive.
We couldn't more highly recommend this home; we will definitely be sending others.
We had a quick issue with the toilet that was resolved immediately by Shannon at Valley Maintenance. They were super helpful and also left us several protein bars and snacks to help fuel our Spartan Race.
All in all, just fantastic. We literally felt like we were at the top of the world. #winning

Lovely Waterfront Cabin!!!!
This cabin is fantastic! Easy to get to by way of the pontoon boat that is included. It is very private and the views of Echo lake and the mountains are amazing. The cabin is very clean, cozy, and homey. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with anything that you would need. Great wrap around deck and outdoor fire pit. It was an easy drive into Big Fork. I highly recommend this cabin! It was a great and relaxing stay. I can’t wait to go back!
