Cottage at Somers Bay overlooking Flathead Lake

This adorable two bedroom one bath cottage (built in 1925) has incredible views over looking Somers Bay (Flathead Lake) and is nestled among several large pine trees and shrubs. This cottage is a step back in time when life was much slower. The Cottage is located at the end of a private two home driveway. The property was purchased by the present owners in fall of 2016 and underwent a complete remodel and restoration. Every attempt was made to keep the Old Mountain feel.

Although we have taken great pains to preserve the quaint ambiance of an old Montana getaway, we do regret to say it does have central heat, an air conditioner, a Samsung Smart Television, ROKU, DVD and WiFi. Also, there is a washer and dryer, stove, microwave, fridge, and oh yes, even, hot and cold running water.

Please note: Sadly, this adorable cottage's back yard is next to our 2 lane highway (which actually isn't as busy as most city streets). Although a 6 foot fence surrounds the property, there is still some vehicle noise. It isn't super loud but we are now providing ear plugs for people who want them.

Bedrooms: Larger bedroom has a king bed, smaller bedroom has a queen bed. The living room has a queen size Murphy bed.

Bathroom: There is a tub/shower (backed by full size hot water heater). In the cabinets you will find bath towels (please use only inside cottage), beach towels (for the boat or beach), facial tissue and toilet paper.

Kitchen: All the basics are provided (pots pans, dishes, flatware, utensils, toaster, coffee maker, and dish soap). Please leave whatever you use clean and put away or in the dish drainer. For your convenience we provide all of the paper products to make your vacation convenient and comfortable (paper towels, napkins, plates, and plastic silverware kitchen garbage bags and some large trash bags) (please keep property clean of trash). Trash cans are located in garage.

Enclosed Side Porch: The porch is enclosed and is where the washer and dryer are located. The breakfast nook is a nice place for your first cup of coffee. There is a convenient pass through counter from the kitchen.

Front Porch: Large covered front porch over looks Somers Bay, boat launch, swim beach and our adorable islands. Enjoy the view in the comfortable wicker furniture.

Side Deck: Features a large stainless gas barbeque, patio table that seats 6 and an umbrella (although this deck is shaded by one of the largest trees in the neighborhood). The side yard is fenced and has nice views of the lake.

Fishermen: We provide the current Montana Fishing Regulations. Upon request we will provide fishing rods and tackle. Under 12 no license required. There is a fishing charter that can pick you up from the Somers Bay Public Dock.

Historic Downtown Somers: is just down the road. Downtown consists of Somers Bay Café (best food around), Del’s Bar & Grill (best beer & pizza), the old Sliter’s Historic Hardware Store, post office, our old locomotive, and a hiking trail with public rest rooms.

Great stay at Flathead Lake
Very cozy cottage with good views of the lake. We enjoyed breakfast on the front porch and spent our evenings on the porch with lovely views. The location was fine and Flathead is a beautiful and large lake. This cabin was located so we could go to Glacier Natl Park each day. Very enjoyable 5 days!

Wonderful stay!
This cottage is the perfect place to stay for a family vacation spot. There was room for 5 of us and plenty of entertaining space. It rained during our stay and the covered porch was a great spot to hang out. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The lake views were gorgeous. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful cottage!
We loved our stay at this beautiful cottage! It was well stocked so we were able to cook our meals easily. A welcome basket with treats was a fun surprise along with Keurig coffee. The washer and dryer came in handy as we were traveling with children. We also enjoyed sitting on the porch. Thanks for sharing your lovely cottage!

My family and I loved our stay at this lakeside cottage! The view was beautiful from inside the cottage and out, and the cottage was very clean with everything we needed in nicely labeled drawers and cupboards. Directions provided by the owner to get there and to get in the cottage were straight forward and everything was exactly as we expected from the property listing! My mom was thrilled with the antiques and traditional decor and had pleasant interactions with the owner, who she messaged to say how much we loved this place! I loved how quiet and cozy it was, so I slept really well and enjoyed returning 'home' to our cottage after attending a wedding nearby. Great experience, and it included everything as advertized!

Lovely Quaint Cottage
This property was perfect for me and my husband. I love the fact that there was a king size bed, however the beds do take up most of the rooms. There was not a lot of room to move around, but honestly it does not matter. The room is for sleeping, and that is all that is needed. It is on a main highway, so there was a little traffic noise, but not so much that it bothered us.

Somers MT Cottage
This little cottage is located on the North end of Flathead lake in Somers, Montana. The property was as advertised. It is a Charming little cottage up a little bit above the lake with a partial Lakeview. It would help if they were able to trim the bushes below the driveway which would increase the view dramatically, but this may not be their property. Great design great layout, and I think it was a good value. The only negative some people would experience is the fact that like many to most properties, the back of his property backs right up to US 93. This really didn't bother those of us who stayed there. It is well located about 7 to 8 miles south of Kalispell and close to everything that you'd want to do there and that area. I do recommend this property.

This rustic property was just perfect for us. My daughter, our German shepherd puppy and I chose this property because of how close to everything it was. We enjoyed family gatherings on the deck at the end of a day of hiking and we were able to have our dog outside with us. It was great!

We recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet place to stay with a great view. It is old but modernized. I will definitely stay here again. The only draw back is finding the driveway to the cottage.
