About this property

Authentic Montana Log Studio Cabin Overlooking Flathead Lake

We have updated the cabin in 2021. This historic hand-hewn Log Studio Cabin Rental nestled in a 5 acre organic cherry orchard with outstanding Flathead Lake views. Fully restored with antique furnishings. The cabin is located 15 miles south of Bigfork. The cabin is not located on the water, but lake access is conveniently located about 1/2 mile away at the beautiful Yellow Bay State Park. Designed for 2 people, this 400 square foot log cabin rental has a queen log bed.

The great Covered Porch has rustic log posts that frame the incredible Flathead Lake and Wild Horse Island views. It is a short drive to the Yellow Bay State Park, public beach and boat ramp. Peaceful and private in the Flathead Valley of Northwest Montana.

Built in 1932, this log cabin was hand hewn from trees taken to clear the surrounding cherry orchards. Built as a homesteader's cabin when the east lake shore was a very remote location with few families living at Yellow Bay, and the only access was via a 2-track dirt road.

The cabin has been completely restored, creating a warm cozy retreat with the charm of a by-gone era. Retaining the original logs, floors, windows and aged patina were very important, while adding all the modern amenities one would expect.

The cabin has a queen size log bed, couch (not pullout) and wood stove. Fully equipped kitchen & bath, and a covered porch with gas barbecue overlooking Flathead Lake. There is no tv or phone, which suits most guests just fine. But we do have wireless internet, and cell service is available.

We hope that you enjoy this little piece of Montana history. It is a very special place to us and to all our visitors from around the world.

If you like this cabin but need something larger or your dates are already booked please see our other adjacent log cabin. The Yellow Bay Lodge listing VRBO 285855

Fantastic Lake Views
My husband and I journeyed to Montana to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. This little cabin is just what we were looking for. The location was perfect for day trips to Glacier National Park, kayaking on the Swan River and exploring Flathead Lake. The accommodations were simple and adequate for two of us. We enjoyed grilling on the porch while soaking up the beautiful sunsets on the lake and mountains. Honestly, the cabin is precious and comfortable and relaxing and provides just the right atmosphere to unplug and unwind. Definitely recommend- 5/5!!!

Great, we want to book again next year.
It was perfect. If we are to be a little picky…the mattress comfotrtable but but bed rocks when spouse moves; better to have sprinklers come on early in the morning as we got wet loading up at 9 this morning; old coffee grounds left in maker and not washed. Overall though we loved it!!! Thank you.

What makes this property unique

This location and this log cabin are all about summer at Flathead Lake. The views, the privacy, and the close proximity to the lake are the major benifits of the cabin. The authentic Montana atmosphere, unique log structures, and cleanliness are all spoken highly of by our past guests.
