Cozy 1950’s lake front cabin with beautiful sunsets!

10/10 Excellent

"Just as advertised. Cozy cabin with a 1950s feel. Kitchen supplies felt minimal but had everything we needed. Clean and comfortable. Perfect for 2 - 4 people. Beautiful lake was clear, sandy and shallow for quite a ways out. Fishing was awesome for large and small mouth bass. Found a few super-sized crappies, too. Loons, pelicans, eagles, hummingbirds and sunsets over the water added to the ambiance. Great if you're looking for a simple, quiet get away with good fishing."

The Nun's Cabin: Historic Tiny House on the Bigfork River

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing property and tiny house! The tiny has was easy to find and get into thanks to clear communication from the host. The freshly baked banana bread was an awesome touch(: Kaila went above and beyond helping us find the place and recommending things around town. The house had everything you could need with its tiny kitchen, smart TV, and organized bathroom. I’d absolutely recommend staying here again!"

"Strand Island is magical! We brought 16 teenage girls and they loved everything about the island. At first, we were worried about having only two bathrooms in the main house. But the sauna shower was a big hit. A girl also enjoyed the two-seater outhouse. Having a sink in each of the eight bedrooms in the house made a huge difference, too. We were also worried that the kitchen wouldn’t be big enough to cook for 20, but it was perfect. The kitchen amenities were high-quality and plentiful. In the house there is a full refrigerator, and a refrigerator/freezer combo. An additional deep freezer and wine fridge are in the TV Cabin. We especially loved the wildlife and nature. Loons, turtles, geese, and a fleet of 43 pelicans were there constantly. The girls caught one bass after another, just off of the dock. There is also a walking path through the woods that runs a half a mile to the north point and a make-shift baseball field behind the house. There are two fire rings and a dock wide enough for 10 people to do yoga.Overall, what was most exciting about the island was that feeling like you’re stepping back in time. The original 1920s decor and art blew us away.We already booked our stay for next summer."
