There are a lot of ways to appreciate Montana. The mountain peaks are great, including hikes and trails that meander through the woods. The cities offer plenty to do and see, as well. But, it's the waterways we might love the most. Rivers and lakes dot the landscape, offering a variety of ways to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you live in Montana and are looking for a staycation, or you're from far away, it's always fun to rent a vacation home as a home base perfect for exploring your surroundings. This vacation home rental near Flathead Lake is one of my personal favorites and we think you'll love it as well!
The Flathead Lake Retreat, located in Lakeside, is one of the best ways to spend quality time in Montana. You'll find it right on the shores of Flathead Lake, which also makes it great for those who enjoy time on the water.
The moment you walk into the house, you'll see sweeping views of the lake. In fact, it was built to ensure the best views at any time of year. The open-concept layout means lots of sunshine and the ability to hang out with those you're traveling with no matter where they are.
There's quite a bit to do without ever leaving the house, but you can also take an hour's drive to Glacier National Park. You'll also be just within 20 minutes of Kalispell, Bigfork, and Whitefish.
This vacation home rental on Flathead Lake is the perfect spot to enjoy the great outdoors without sacrificing any comfort.
The Flathead Lake Retreat can be rented throughout the year, though prices will vary depending on the season. Check out the official vacation rental listing on VRBO for current rates and availability. Once you've planned your stay, we'd love to hear about it.

As we creep closer to the changing of the seasons, the cooling of temperatures, and the arrival of fall colors, I think I can speak for all of us Montanans that we want to soak up as much of this beautiful summer weather as we can before summer comes to a close. If you're looking for a last-minute getaway in nature, these six gorgeous Airbnbs in Montana are the ticket to relaxation in Big Sky Country. Each home is memorable in its own way and is sure to bring the relaxation and solitude you crave.
The Lost Antler Cabin in Paradise is aptly named, not only for its secluded location but for its stunning surrounding landscape. This cabin sleeps three, offers one-and-a-half baths, and all the rustic charm a handful of adventurers could want. Gaze at the night sky in front of the outdoor fire pit, then retire to your loft-style room in your little slice of paradise at the end of a full day of exploring all the natural beauty that surrounds you.
The Mountain Yurt is situated on 35 acres of pristine, secluded landscape with stunning views of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. It provides all the privacy in nature that you could want. This is no ordinary yurt, and that will be made clear from the moment you walk in. Soak in the mountain views in front of your wood-burning fireplace each morning and evening as you enjoy the luxurious comfort of your home-away-from-home. You'll be treated to plush bedding on your queen bed, a sleeper sofa downstairs, and another twin-sized mattress in the loft, making this getaway truly family-friendly. You'll be located only 30 minutes from Yellowstone National Park and only 45 minutes from Bozeman, so you'll have plenty of outdoor recreation at your disposal. The only problem you'll encounter is that you may not ever want to leave!
The Cedar Pointe Main House is centrally located between Whitefish and Glacier National Park, just along the famous Flathead River and surrounded by beautiful forest. The national park entrance is a mere 20 minutes away, making this the perfect base camp for your park adventuring. The surrounding forest setting is stunning by itself, but it's made all the more enjoyable with the comforts and amenities you'll find at your cabin. You'll have room for up to seven guests with 3 beds and 2.5 baths, including a gorgeous ground-level master bedroom with a spacious walk-in closet, stand-alone tub, shower, and "his and hers" sinks. When you factor in the stunning fully-stocked kitchen, luxurious living room with its 65-inch TV, and private deck from which you can gaze at the night sky, you'll find it impossible not to love the Cedar Pointe home.
The Ross Creek Cabins are located in an idyllic and remote setting that still has close access to the town of Bozeman while offering the peaceful serenity you are looking for. Shown here is Cabin #5, which is a spacious studio cabin that sleeps up to four people and includes access to the on-site fire pit and hot tub, though these are shared with the other cabin guests. You'll wake up each morning to the sweeping views of the Gallatin Range and Bridger Mountains that Big Sky Country is so famous for.
The Last Best Cabin is a stunning one-bedroom cabin with an upstairs loft located in Livingston. It is situated on 10 private acres and is pet-friendly (with an additional fee required), so feel free to bring your furry family member (or two) along with you for your travel adventures. The panoramic mountain views will steal your breath away, so I recommend starting each day by drinking coffee on your deck as you watch the sunrise so you can truly soak in those views. You'll find plenty of seating and an outdoor grill on your deck. Inside, you'll enjoy additional comforts such as a wood-burning stove, a flat-screen TV, a dining room table, board games, books, a work desk, and more. And with Yellowstone National Park merely a short drive away, you'll be perfectly situated to explore America's first National Park.
