Lake house w/private dock, balcony, fire pit & gorgeous views - Echo Lake Hideaway

This cozy, charming house is going to win your heart with the amazing outdoor space to entertain, be with family, and enjoy the lake! Located on Echo Lake with 150' of water frontage and a private boat dock (not usable in early summer due to low water levels), you'll never want to go inside. There is a cafe style sitting area with wood burning fireplace and makeshift bar seating around a tree, steps lead down to a playground set and firepit, and then finally down to more seating on the dock - all amazing locations to start and end your day around your adventures. The home itself has 4 bedrooms, a large living room, 1 bathroom, kitchen/dining area with a table for 6, a small study and a laundry room. There is a boat rental at the corner of Montana Highway 83 and Echo Lake Road, right across from Echo Lake Cafe which is a must try!

In the winter, the Flathead Valley is famous for its world-class skiing and wide range of winter activities. There are two ski resorts in the area including the local favorite Whitefish Mountain Resort and the family-friendly Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. Whitefish Mountain Resort was recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine readers! Visitors to the area can also enjoy ice fishing on Flathead Lake, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling with one of the local outfitters.

In the summer, enjoy all the water sports imaginable at Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48! Glacier National Park is also close by with the breathtaking Going-To-The-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and 70+day hikes! Make sure you take time to experience downtown Bigfork boasting shops, galleries, restaurants and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. There are activities for everyone from hiking the Swan River Nature Trail, exploring the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, fishing the many lakes & rivers or golfing at any of the exceptional courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course.

Great week with the family!
We loved the home! It wasn't until we got there that we realized there was no AC, so things were warm by the end of the day. Trash became an issue on day 2, but the property managers responded a few days later to outline what to do. Overall - we loved the house. Loved the location.

The cabin was nice, as someone mentioned before, was like going to Grandmas cabin in the woods. The grill was removed because of fire restrictions, so that was a bummer. The views and quiet are amazing. It is a trek down to the lake, which may be a struggle for older individuals , but all in all it is a very nice residence.

Family fun near Glacier
This quaint cabin was a great spot for my family to rest and relax in between day trips around Glacier. It's 4 bedrooms, spacious living room and fully stocked kitchen gave us everything we needed. The location was very convenient to all of our planned activities and my kids even enjoyed fishing on the dock.

4th of July Summer Fam Trip
The backyard and deck, dock experience was great, and the house was charming. We loved it. The management group was helpful, responsive and available. Our only critique is that the house just wasn’t kept clean. We had cobwebs inside and outside, lots of dust, the water didn’t run in the sink of the one bathroom, and it just kinda felt like we were camping a little bit, especially bc there was no AC, something that we didn’t realize and it was unusually hot. Besides a sever deep clean of the interior and exterior, we had an amazing time!
