My Happy Place!
I have always enjoyed staying in Polson and Flathead lake. This was our first time staying in a VRBO there. It was a great experience right next to the water in a beautiful home! I will be booking this place again very soon! Thank you for a Great Lake experience! The Lopez and Gilbert Families!!!

Flathead Lake property
Upon arrival we had some concerns which were quickly addressed by the owner. We loved the location with direct access to the lake and other areas of Polson.

Relaxing on Flathead
I went with my kids, mom, sister and her family. There were 9 of us total. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Being able to wake up and look out to Flathead lake every morning was breath taking. We have 2 eagles that visited the dock every morning. The hill to the lake was steep but totally doable. Tony was very responsive to texts and we had an amazing stay. I would definitely recommend the bison on Flathead as an amazing place to stay in Polson.

Nice Place to stay in Polson
Communication with Tony was easy and friendly. When we had a problem with the stove (no instruction booklet available and an error code flashing from the moment we came in), they called a very nice and skilled young man to solve the problem. We should have called earlier.

Great house!!
We stayed at The Bison for a short family getaway. The property is beautiful and has a great sunrise view. The house has a ton of room for people to stay and relax! We enjoyed our time there and hope to be back next summer!
