About this property

This unique waterfront property is the last surviving boathouse with living quarters above it. From the road you will walk down a wooded path to a private incline tram system that will carry you a hundred feet down to a world of lake shore living. When you get to the covered open-air deck, it is complete with a Weber gas BBQ, patio heater, table, chairs and a swing for two. In 2015 we added a new deck to the front of the Boathouse. Stepping through the sliding glass door you will see that the living level is decorated with fishing motif. In the corner is a wood stove which can be enjoyed from the overstuffed sofa-bed. The kitchen is well-furnished with cooking utensils and all appliances except for a dishwasher. There is an adorable bath with shower only. Up the winder staircase is a loft bedroom with queen bed and step-in closet plus a dormer niche with a bench.

The Boathouse now has Smart TV and WIFI !!!!!!!!!!!!

The boathouse level is totally private. The lower level with the dock and lake area of the property is shared with the property owners and their guests occasionally. You have your own boat slip and have full access to the dock, beaches, swim area and swim ladders. Guests may enjoy having a bonfire in the fire pit when there are no fire restrictions, though you will have to provide your own wood. The lakefront also has a romantic footbridge, patio area with picnic table. You are welcome to use the canoe, paddle boat and (2)kayaks which are easily launched from the beach area.

Somers Bay Boathouse is conveniently located: 12 miles west of Bigfork which has live theater and dining; an hour from Glacier Park; 10 miles from historic downtown Kalispel; 5 miles from Lakeside which has a grocery store and dining; great restaurants are within 5 minutes driving toward downtown Somers. The street above the boathouse is part of a biking/walking path which takes you to historic Somers.

Lovely boathouse cabin on the lake

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It had everything you need and comfy bed. Perfect location to get to Glacier, Kalispell, Whitefish, Big Mountain. Beautiful sunrises on the lake and Lakeview from bed. Karen was east to communicate with. Would highly recommend this rental.

Great, Fun, Relaxing, Right on the Lake!

This is the perfect place to stay with a teenager. I would stay here every time we come back. Do not bring a toddler or young children as this is not a spot for youngers. That being said, my son is 16, and the wife and I loved fishing, kayaking and sitting on the porch chatting it up. We had some family come down and ate dinner on the docks as well as watched the storm form the covered porch. Amazing property. If I were to critique the property I would say replace the main bed, as it was a bit uncomfortable, and replace the toilet as it was a bit hard to flush. That being said, I am rating this a A+ rental and grateful for the experience. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Bach

Earl and Karen are a middle aged couple with 2 adult children. We have owned the property since 2001. Earl began remodeling the boathouse in 2003 and finished it in 2005. We thought we would use it more than we did and decided rather than have it stay empty, we would share it with others. Karen enjoys being your host, and we have a professional house keeper do our cleaning.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, private setting, right on the water and it is centrally located near many of our tourist attractions.

What makes this property unique

Where to start...the way the property is set up, it feels like we don't hardly have any neighbors, which contributes to the privacy. The view is gorgeous and changes constantly. There are many birds/water fowl, including bald eagles (though they don't come around as much once the osprey move in for the summer). Even though there is so much to do in the area, many guests claim they find it hard to leave the boathouse.
