The Bison on Flathead Lake

Come enjoy your stay on Flathead Lake! This waterfront home comes complete with beachfront access, a dock and boat lift. The house is minutes away from downtown Polson and just a few spaces down from the Shoe Bar and Grill.

This home has been beautifully renovated for modern taste. The granite and tile throughout makes this home feel like a true Montana gem.

All occupants use the decks, stairs, path to the lake, dock and boat lift at users own risk. All is maintained, but due to terrain not all risks can be mitigated. This property is lakefront. As with any shoreline property beware water conditions can change rapidly without warning. Users of any water equipment on the premises do so at their own risk. Exterior security cameras are on property.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Amazing location and amenities! The kitchen was large and all appliances seemed very new which was perfect since we cooked all of our meals over the weekend, there was room for everyone to gather and cook, chat and eat! I would definitely go back!!

My Happy Place!

I have always enjoyed staying in Polson and Flathead lake. This was our first time staying in a VRBO there. It was a great experience right next to the water in a beautiful home! I will be booking this place again very soon! Thank you for a Great Lake experience! The Lopez and Gilbert Families!!!

Relaxing on Flathead

I went with my kids, mom, sister and her family. There were 9 of us total. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Being able to wake up and look out to Flathead lake every morning was breath taking. We have 2 eagles that visited the dock every morning. The hill to the lake was steep but totally doable. Tony was very responsive to texts and we had an amazing stay. I would definitely recommend the bison on Flathead as an amazing place to stay in Polson.

Nice Place to stay in Polson

Communication with Tony was easy and friendly. When we had a problem with the stove (no instruction booklet available and an error code flashing from the moment we came in), they called a very nice and skilled young man to solve the problem. We should have called earlier.
