Photos and Description of the Somers vacation house boat rental
Boathouse, 1Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)

This unique waterfront property is he last surviving boathouse with living quarters above it. From the road you will walk down a wooded path to a private incline tram system that will carry you a hundred feet down to a world of lake shore living. When you get to the covered open-air deck, it is complete with a Weber gas BBQ, patio heater, table, chairs and a swing for two. Stepping through the sliding glass door you will see that the living level is decorated with fishing motif. In the corner is a wood stove which can be enjoyed from the overstuffed sofa-bed. The kitchen is well-furnished with cooking utensils and all appliances except for a dishwasher. There is an adorable bath with shower only. Up the winder staircase is a loft bedroom with queen bed and step-in closet plus a dormer niche with a bench. The dock and lake level of the property is shared with the property owners. You have your own boat slip and have full access to the dock, beaches, swim area, swim ladders, & canoe.

The boathouse level is totally private. The lower level with the dock and lake area of the property is shared with the property owners and their guests occasionally. You have your own boat slip and have full access to the dock, beaches, swim area and swim ladders. There is plenty of wood provided for having a bonfire in the fire pit. The lakefront also has a romantic footbridge, patio area with picnic table and tether ball. You are welcome to use the canoe, paddle boat and kayaks which are easily launched from the beach area.

Somers Bay Boathouse is conveniently located: 12 miles west of Bigfork which has live theater and dining; an hour from Glacier Park; 10 miles from historic downtown Kalispel; 5 miles from Lakeside which has a grocery store and dining; great restaurants are within 5 minutes driving toward downtown Somers. The street above the boathouse is part of a biking/walking path which takes you to historic Somers.

A Quintessential View!

I could hardly imagine a more exquisite view than from this charming boathouse. The beautiful waters of Flathead Lake against the backldrop of the majestic Swan Range...it was very sad saying goodbye. Earl has done an amazing job turning this into a cozy and inviting cabin. It is tastefully decorated and very clean. The bed is wonderfully comfortable. The morning sun shines into the cabin to welcome the day, and if you are lucky, Bandit the amazingly affectionate cat may be waiting outside to wish you good morning. Earl and Karen were great hosts. We highly recommend this rental, and hope to return in the near future.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind words

Great Place to Stay

The boathouse is exactly as described, perfect location with an amazing view. It is small and simple inside, but this area is more about the outdoors. We built a fire the one night, enjoyed the stars from our private dock, shared the porch swing with an extremely friendly cat and even caught a couple sunrises. Loved it and will definitely return.

The boathouse was an outstanding place to stay, we made our plans late and were only able to stay one night - next time we will stay longer. This place is a gem and a romantic get away for two.

High expectations met and surpassed

We were so excited for a short vacation up at Flathead and found ourselves lucky to have booked the Boathouse for 5 days. The owners were very responsive during the booking process and were kind enough to extend a discount to us as we are active duty military. When we checked in we got a thourough but efficient introduction to the Boathouse, it's electric lift (not at all scary but still just a little exciting), and the area. Here's what we found:
- There's no way that photos can capture how perfect this house is for two adults or a small family. It looks great in the pictures on the website but it's even better when you see it in person.
- The house is built over the water. The huge front windows open up to the water; if you have small children you might want to keep those lovely sliding glass doors closed.
- The house is fully stocked with cooking utensils. There is a coffee pot, blender, toaster, oven, microwave, and impressive gas grill with attendant pots, pans, and tools.
- Sunning on the dock is wonderful, and the dock served as the prefect place for my marriage proposal (she said "yes").
- 35-45 mintes to West Glacier.
- 10 minutes to full-sized grocery store in Kalispell

Bottom line: Book it. You'll love it.
Owner's Response: Karen and I are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
We thank you both for your service to our country.
May God bless you and your marriage.
You will always have a discount here, Earl
