Β» . . . . . WHAT: A cozy nook in a neighborhood with a small plot of woods where deer visit, sometimes daily. The teardrop is slightly larger than the mattress that's inside it and there are a couple shelves to hold small items. The mattress is larger than a twin, but smaller than a full. π³ π¦ π
Please note: this camper is not designed for standing up our stretching out. Private lake access is just a short stroll away ( ~3-minute walk), while food and entertainment abound around the area!
The land is raw (undeveloped). What you are paying for is a cozy, safe place to rest, a porta-John (no shower) and PRIVATE LAKE ACCESS. :) If you need air conditioner or real bathrooms, please stay in one of our other cabins that has these amenities.
Flathead Lake access is very hard to find, unless visiting a state park. Please take this into consideration when booking with us.

We LOVE our neighborhood!! We are located in a quaint and quirky community that dates back to the 1940s. We love our neighbors and we love the vibe of our 70 year old neighborhood. We're not fancy, but we're fun! You will see vintage cars, boats and tractors around. Neighborhood animals may be out. The area is very safe.
We are located just off Highway 35, which runs along the BEAUTIFUL, scenic drive on the east shore of Flathead Lake. There will be road noise during the day, but that's the best time of day to hike and swim, so you may not notice the noise anyways. :) Please be aware of this.
