You’ll enjoy 150 feet of private lake frontage, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the peaceful views. (Please note: swim at your own risk—no lifeguard on duty.) Inside, Dora’s Cabin offers everything you need for a comfortable stay: • A small kitchen stocked with essential utensils and cooking equipment • A BBQ grill for easy outdoor meals • A futon couch in the living area, providing sleeping space for up to 2 additional guests The cabin itself is private, but the outdoor spaces are shared with guests staying in the second cabin and with our family, who occasionally stay in on-site RVs. Shared amenities include the lawn, beach access, dock, gazebo, fire pit, and parking area. We also provide firewood and hotdog roasting sticks so you can enjoy a cozy evening around the fire. Guests have access to kayaks, paddleboards, and other water recreation gear. Use of this equipment is at your own risk; the property owners are not liable for injuries or accidents. Sunrises over Flathead Lake are absolutely stunning—you won’t want to miss them! Located just 15–20 minutes from Polson and Lakeside, Dora’s Cabin offers a peaceful base for both adventure and relaxation. Planning to visit Glacier National Park? It’s about a 2.5-hour drive from the cabin. From 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, an online entry reservation is required to access the park during peak season—so be sure to plan ahead. Traveling with a larger group? There is a second, similar cabin on the property (Flo’s) —perfect for friends or family who want to stay nearby but still enjoy their own space. Please reach out if you’re interested in booking both cabins together! We (your hosts) stay in our RV on the property and are happy to offer help, local tips, or complete privacy—whatever makes your stay more enjoyable. We also have two friendly dogs on the property: a Pomsky and a Collie. They’re well-behaved, social, and love making new friends (but we’re happy to keep them away if preferred). ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 350 square feet ## Similar properties ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/63000000/62610000/62602800/62602774/dcb4f145.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Flathead Lake Cabin with Water Views and Lake Access!

When we first arrived, we were greeted by the hosts who were extremely friendly and welcoming. I wished we could’ve stayed longer to actually use the kayaks on the lake because the property was perfect for it. We did get to enjoy the sunrise over the lake each morning which was absolutely gorgeous. 10/10 would recommend. ##### Tiffany P.
