Pictures and Rental Information: This land has been in our family for 30 years and the small cabins on it have been fun to stay in for our vacations. After much planning, we have now built our dream retirement home but cannot move in it yet so we have put it on the vacation rental market. Each season has its own beauty. Spring time has cherry blossoms and lilacs, Summer the slow, beautiful sunsets, Fall the golden leaves and Tamarak trees. The scenery is breathtaking, even spiritual. You will love it. ALLEGIANT AIR NOW FLIES DIRECTLY (& INEXPENSIVELY) FROM LOS ANGELES TO MISSOULA AND FROM LAS VEGAS TO KALISPELL.

Other Activities: Big Fork art galleries, picking Flathead cherries and other fruit

Great Home

McLeanFamily McLean, VA
Review Submitted: August 28, 2007 Date of Stay: August 2007
Great home less then 10 miles south of Bigfork, a quaint town on Flathead. Home is relatively new, in very good condition with full amenities as listed. Four bedrooms allow large group to spread out. Wonderful lot proximate to US35, just a few miles to local beach (Yellow Bay) and with its own orchard trees and ponds. No A/C (which is fine in Montana) and no cable, but otherwise everything you'd need.

Loved this place!

twestover Oregon
Review Submitted: September 5, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This place is so cozy and comfy! We just loved staying there. The kitchen was great for cooking up nice dinners, and there was fresh fruit to pick in the yard. The bedding was comfortable and we loved sitting by the gas stove. The only drawback was no TV downstairs (the only other TV's were upstairs in the sleeping area). We would definitely stay again.

Cherry Creek Retreat

JLCP NY
Review Submitted: July 29, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The description of this property is extremely accurate and all the amenities listed were included in the house. The house also had a crib, high chair and safety gates which were so useful with our one year daughter.The house was very clean and well maintained. The house does not have air conditioning in all the rooms but it was really only needed on one very hot night. The view of Flathead Lake as well as the views of the rest of the property are beautiful. Cherry Creek Retreat was even more impressive in person than the pictures and descriptions online. This house was perfect for our family vacation in July. Kayaking and boating on the lake and hiking and exploring trips to Glacier National Park are great ways to spend your days. I would love to go back and would definitely rent this house again.

Christmas at Cherry Creek

Review Submitted: March 3, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
Cherry Creek Retreat was just the best location for our long awaited family reunion. Everything was in order and exactly as described on the web page.
The property manager was very friendly and welcoming and was available for any questions.
I would most heartily recommend this beautiful log home for anyone who especially enjoys winter and snow. We just loved our week here and hope we can do it again sometime in the future.

Luxurious Mountain/Lake Oasis

PKPK Washington, DC area
Review Submitted: September 2, 2006 Date of Stay: July 2006
If anything, this property is more spectacular than advertised! The new log home is spacious and contains every possible amenity. Its cathedral ceilings, the jazccuzi in the downstairs bathroom, the beautiful painting on the exterior of the upper level antique, footed bathtub, the balconies on three sides and all levels -- these are some of the extras one cannot fully appreciate from the photos that are provided.

Truly, the enormous 8-foot deep mid-level balconies and generous-sized windows and sliding glass doors provide close-up, inspirational views of Flathead Lake while dining either indoors or outdoors, or while simply relaxing and dreaming.

This is a great house that seems considerably larger than its 2,300 square feet. It's a wonderful place to spend a week!
