Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing on Flathead I went with my kids, mom, sister and her family. There were 9 of us total. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Being able to wake up and look out to Flathead lake every morning was breath taking. We have 2 eagles that visited the dock every morning. The hill to the lake was steep but totally doable. Tony was very responsive to texts and we had an amazing stay. I would definitely recommend the bison on Flathead as an amazing place to stay in Polson. ##### Melissa K. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth A. Sep 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Place to stay in Polson Communication with Tony was easy and friendly. When we had a problem with the stove (no instruction booklet available and an error code flashing from the moment we came in), they called a very nice and skilled young man to solve the problem. We should have called earlier. ##### Elizabeth A. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lisa t.
