Where exactly is Flathead Lake Luxury Lodging?
The estate is in Lakeside, Montana, on the west shore of Flathead Lake, two minutes from the water and downtown Lakeside. Glacier Park International Airport is 35 minutes away, and the west entrance of Glacier National Park is 45 minutes.
How far is it from Glacier National Park?
About 45 minutes by car to the west entrance at West Glacier. That makes a day in the park comfortable without staying inside it, where lodging is far more limited and books out much earlier.
How many people can stay on the estate?
Up to 28 overnight guests across the five homes when the whole estate is booked. Individually, The Swan House sleeps 14, The Lakeside House and The Glacier House sleep 4 each, and The Ridge and The Summit sleep 3 each.
Which amenities are shared between the properties?
Every guest gets the heated swimming pool, the hot tub, the fitness center, the game room, the fire pit area, the putting green, the BBQ grills and the outdoor dining areas. They are on the shared estate grounds, not inside any one home.
Is the swimming pool heated and open year-round?
Yes. The pool is heated and open year-round, and the hot tub runs all season as well. Guests ski at Blacktail or Whitefish during the day and swim in the evening through the winter.
Can I book more than one property at a time?
Yes. The homes can be booked individually or in any combination. The three full-size houses together are The Compound, sleeping 22; all five together are The Full Estate, sleeping 28 with the property to yourselves. Contact Flathead Lake Luxury Lodging with your dates and group size.
What is the difference between The Compound and The Full Estate?
At Flathead Lake Luxury Lodging, The Compound books The Glacier House, The Lakeside House and The Swan House for 22 guests on 5 acres; the pool and grounds remain shared. The Full Estate adds The Ridge and The Summit, sleeps 28, and reserves all 15 acres and five homes for your group.
Is it cheaper to book direct than through Airbnb or Vrbo?
Contact Flathead Lake Luxury Lodging with your dates, property choice and group size for a quote. Compare the complete price and terms for the same stay before deciding where to book.
Can you host a wedding or a corporate retreat?
Yes. With the whole estate booked, all 15 acres are yours: the property holds up to 200 guests for an event, with a 3,200 square foot event center, forest and lawn ceremony sites and room for 28 to sleep on site. Send your date through the contact form and we will tell you whether it is open.
Are the treehouses actually in the trees?
The Ridge and The Summit are both elevated cabins built up into the forest canopy, reached by stairs, with decks among the branches. The Ridge has its own cedar barrel sauna; The Summit has a deck that wraps the whole cabin.
What is the check-in process?
Self check-in with keypad entry at every property, so arrival time is flexible and nobody has to meet you with a key. Door codes and directions are sent before you travel.
