Dora’s Cabin at Grans – Flathead Lakefront, Dock, Kayaks, Pet Friendly
Welcome to Gran’s Cabins on Flathead Lake – Dora’s Cabin
Relax and unwind at Dora’s Cabin, a newer, pet-friendly 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat located on private property in Elmo, Montana—right on the shores of beautiful Flathead Lake.
You’ll enjoy 150 feet of private lake frontage, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the peaceful views. (Please note: swim at your own risk—no lifeguard on duty.)
Inside, Dora’s Cabin offers everything you need for a comfortable stay: • A small kitchen stocked with essential utensils and cooking equipment • A BBQ grill for easy outdoor meals • A futon couch in the living area, providing sleeping space for up to 2 additional guests
The cabin itself is private, but the outdoor spaces are shared with guests staying in the second cabin and with our family, who occasionally stay in on-site RVs. Shared amenities include the lawn, beach access, dock, gazebo, fire pit, and parking area. We also provide firewood and hotdog roasting sticks so you can enjoy a cozy evening around the fire.
Guests have access to kayaks, paddleboards, and other water recreation gear. Use of this equipment is at your own risk; the property owners are not liable for injuries or accidents.
Sunrises over Flathead Lake are absolutely stunning—you won’t want to miss them!
Located just 15–20 minutes from Polson and Lakeside, Dora’s Cabin offers a peaceful base for both adventure and relaxation.
Planning to visit Glacier National Park? It’s about a 2.5-hour drive from the cabin. From 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, an online entry reservation is required to access the park during peak season—so be sure to plan ahead.
Traveling with a larger group? There is a second, similar cabin on the property (Flo’s) —perfect for friends or family who want to stay nearby but still enjoy their own space. Please reach out if you’re interested in booking both cabins together!
We (your hosts) stay in our RV on the property and are happy to offer help, local tips, or complete privacy—whatever makes your stay more enjoyable. We also have two friendly dogs on the property: a Pomsky and a Collie. They’re well-behaved, social, and love making new friends (but we’re happy to keep them away if preferred).
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.
