Welcome to Lakeside Cottage!
This classic Montana lake cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and comfortable living. With sweeping Flathead lake views, your own stretch of shoreline, complete with a long dock for swimming, sunbathing, or launching a kayak. Inside, Lakeside Cottage s knotty-pine ceilings, exposed log beams, and cozy stone fireplace give it real cabin character, while two bright 3-season rooms offer the perfect spots to soak in panoramic lake views, whether you re sipping morning coffee or unwinding after a day on the water.
The farmhouse-style kitchen is fully equipped for cooking family meals, and a rustic dining nook perfect for card games or slow breakfasts with a view. The cottage sleeps up to 6 guests across two bedrooms sharing one full bathroom: a main bedroom with a comfortable queen bed, and a second bedroom outfitted with a bunk bed set, ideal for kids or extra guests. Whether you re here to fish, paddle, hike the surrounding trails, or simply unwind lakeside, Lakeside Cottage offers an authentic slice of Flathead Lake living in Lakeside, Montana.
Summer
When the snow melts, Lakeside comes alive as one of Flathead Lake s favorite west-shore destinations. Spend your days on the water at Volunteer Park, with easy public docks and boat launches, or book a guided tour with a local outfitter like Go Sail Flathead Lake for an afternoon of sailing on the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. Just south of town, West Shore State Park offers a quiet, forested escape with rocky beaches, camping, and one of the lake s few year-round deep-water boat launches. For a change of pace, head up to Blacktail Mountain, where summer brings hiking and mountain biking trails with sweeping views over the lake and the Mission Mountains or stick closer to the water and ride Montana s only Alpine Coaster, try your hand at gem mining, or putt a round of mini golf at the Flathead Lake Adventure Park. Cap off the day with a cold pint on the deck at Tamarack Brewing Company, right across the street from the lake.
