Shangrilog on Bull Lake - Lake Front Log Home

Welcome to ShangriLog, a name inspired by Shangri-La, the mythical paradise known for its untouched beauty, serenity, and harmony with nature. This stunning waterfront log home on Bull Lake in Northwest Montana embodies that same sense of escape, offering a peaceful retreat where the beauty of the wilderness surrounds you.

About the Home

Built in 2006 by an Amish builder from Western Montana, this meticulously crafted log home sits along 85 feet of private shoreline on the crystal-clear Bull Lake. With 22 miles of scenic shoreline, the lake is perfect for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating. The home offers breathtaking views of the Cabinet Mountains and pristine Montana wilderness, making it an ideal retreat for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking tranquility.

Location & Nearby Attractions

ShangriLog is ideally located for those who appreciate natural beauty and outdoor adventure:
• Ross Creek Cedars (10-minute drive) – Explore an enchanting national forest filled with giant, ancient cedar trees, some over 1,000 years old. The peaceful walking trails wind through a lush, cathedral-like forest that feels almost otherworldly.
• Kootenai River & Kootenai Falls (30-minute drive) – Visit the largest undammed waterfall in Montana, a stunning natural wonder featured in several films. Walk across the famous Kootenai Falls Swinging Bridge for breathtaking canyon views.
• The Yaak (45-minute drive) – A remote and rugged wilderness area known for its dramatic mountains, rivers, and wildlife. Stop by the Yaak River Tavern for a drink or explore the backroads for some of the most beautiful hidden spots in Montana.
• North Idaho (short drive away) – Venture across the state line for more scenic byways, lakes, and charming small towns.

A True Wilderness Experience

Unlike many tourist destinations, this area remains untouched and uncrowded. You won’t find busy resorts or commercialized attractions—just pure Montana beauty and friendly locals who value their peace and quiet. Please be respectful of the area and its residents.

As you are truly in the mountain wilderness, wildlife sightings are common. Expect to see deer, elk, eagles, and even the occasional bear or moose. Be mindful when hiking or spending time outdoors, and always practice bear safety when exploring the area.

Perfect for Any Season

ShangriLog is a four-season retreat, offering unique experiences year-round:
• Summer – Swim, boat, paddleboard, or fish right off the private dock. Enjoy long days and cool mountain evenings on the deck.
• Fall – Witness the stunning golden larches and autumn colors reflecting off the lake while enjoying crisp mountain air.
• Winter – Cozy up by the fireplace after a day of snowshoeing or exploring the winter wonderland. Cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails are nearby.
• Spring – Watch as the mountains burst back to life with wildflowers and rushing waterfalls from the melting snow.
