Blacktail Cabin

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sometimes you just need a break from the onslaught of work and stress - why not share one with your family near the gorgeous shores of Montana's Flathead Lake? This lovely cabin will put you far, far away from your worries, while still allowing you to enjoy modern comforts and nearby activities like skiing, swimming, and more! And you can even bring your beloved canine family member with you, too!

Less than two miles west of the town of Lakeside, you're just moments away from quaint businesses like Tamarack Brewing Company and Blacktail Family Goods. Despite your close proximity to town - and the nearby shores of the lake - your cabin feels nice and peaceful, surrounded by swaying pines that stretch far into the horizon.

Breathe in the mountain air as you admire the nature around you, before stepping inside from the deck to unwind. Floor-to-ceiling log-style woodwork, combined with rich leather furnishings and the warmth of the stone fireplace, create the atmosphere of a welcoming ski lodge. Take a seat on the couch or a nearby armchair and use the internet to upload photos of the incredible views. If wintertime weather is too chilly, snuggle up with your loved ones by the fireplace and take in satellite programming on the flatscreen TV.

When you're ready to turn fresh-bought ingredients into hearty meals, the kitchen will serve you well. Plenty of counter space, along with stainless steel appliances, make cooking fun! Treat the kids to some snacks at the breakfast bar seating for four, before taking a seat at the nearby dining table for six to savor the main course. There's even a woodstove nearby to keep you nice and toasty!

Leave cleanup to the dishwasher and head off to bed. Two bedrooms and a loft upstairs, sleep a total of six guests (two dogs are invited to come along for a small nightly fee). Couples can enjoy either of two bedrooms. Or head upstairs to catch a good night's sleep in main-style loft's bed - there's even a private upstairs balcony. Bed choices include two queens and a king, meanwhile, kids can have the sofabed. Freshen up with a shower in either of the two baths and get ready to head out!

The Flathead Lake area is fantastic no matter what time of year you choose to visit. Summertime guests can head east to the lake itself, where swimming, fishing, and just relaxing at the shore await. Wintertime guests, meanwhile, can venture 12 miles westward towards Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. Spend your mornings and afternoons skiing and snowboarding down incredible pristine slopes, before heading back home to warm up in the evenings. Other nearby attractions include Volunteer Park in Lakeside and Westshore State Park, six miles south of Lakeside (fee required).

Save your dates and secure an incredible vacation for yourself and your loved ones!

Everything was great about this property. We will definitely be staying again. There was no A/C which was clearly stated and surprisingly the cabin stayed cool during the day if we closed all the windows and was pleasant at night even though we happened to visit with it was 97 in Montana. 10/10 recommend

Cabin in the woods
Comfortable & well appointed with some issues that needt to be addressed, such as switches & light switches that don’t work; the fireplace & air-tight stove needed to be cleaned before use & windows do not appear to have been cleaned for some time, part. the large windows…ent rance door latch does not operate properly. The above comments are not so much complaints as they are observations…that being said, we would not hesitate to return…a nice location!

Perfect Getaway
This place is perfect! As they stated, the Internet is not reliable. Neither is the Dish Network. Don't plan on streaming services. Download content before you come, or bring your own DVDs. The grill needs some work to be serviceable, also could not figure out the thermostat, but everything else was great! The Lakeside Grocery store has less expensive firewood than Sliters. We enjoyed the serenity of the place, the fireplace, the porch, the view, the gurgling brook. Perfect. We would definitely come back here!

What's better than a cozy log cabin in the woods in the Fall? We loved it, everything we needed was available to us. Very nice after a long day to return to such a serene spot to cook a nice meal. The cabin provided so much, great appliances, cookware...thank you!

Blacktail Cabin Issues
Nice location, poor response to an issue at the cabin. VACASA did not repair a tub spout that blew off the first floor tub/shower combo almost injuring our guest. This happened on a Wednesday morning and we left this morning, Saturday with no response. There are more issues that we had but we do not have the space to list them all. If you are interested in more detail, we will be glad to send it to you. We request compensation for the poor service we received. Please give us a call at 614-530-4973 if you want more info or I can email you a two page summary of our issues.

Beautiful home, challenging communication with Vacasa
Overall this is a beautiful and comfortable cabin. We particularly loved having a fire in the fireplace while playing games in the living room. Our main issue was with a broken dishwasher and terrible communication with Vacasa, the property management company. They have a note right in the counter that says to call immediately if anything is broken. When we arrived and opened the dishwasher there was standing water in the bottom of it that smelled terribly. This should have been caught and fixed by cleaning crew before we arrived. But I followed instructions and called Vacasa immediately. I then spent 30 minutes on hold. I then tried the texting and didn’t hear back for several hours. This is not how I want to start a vacation and especially when I’m paying over $900 for a two night stay. I much prefer properties where communication with directly with a local host.

Very clean and nicely maintained -- great quiet space in the woods
My husband and I were looking for a quiet, relaxing, winter weekend getaway and this home provided exactly that. It was very clean and nicely kept, with a large-enough kitchen that had all the tools we needed to cook. The beds were very comfortable and the TWO fireplaces kept us cozy. It's quite scenic and very serene; I had fun exploring the short paths through the woods around the property.

Great cabin
This cabin is beautiful and has a perfect location. We loved the wood burning fireplace and the true "log cabin" feel. Kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean upon arrival. It's evident that Vacasa sprays for bugs around the cabin, as we noticed dead bugs appearing inside after we got there. We had a 4 night stay, and by the end of it, the loft was peppered with tons of little black bugs (carpet beetles?) all over the floor, especially by the patio door. They looked like mouse droppings until we saw one move. Unsure if we are wrong and it was mice, but there were so many in just a few days, and some even appearing on the bedside table and in the bed. My in-laws slept in the loft and they have lived in the country for many years, so it didn't bother them too much, but I could see this being an issue for other folks. No bugs/droppings noted in the main floor bedrooms. All in all, we loved staying here. It's nice and quiet, feels secluded even though you're only a 5 minute drive from Lakeside. Grocery store, gas station, and Tamarack Brewery all very close. Would recommend this cabin, just be wary if you're squeamish of bugs!

Nice cabin, close to Blacktail Ski Resort
We spent a weekend with our family at this cabin near Blacktail and went skiing. It was a very cute and homey cabin and was perfect for our family of 6. Everything was great and as expected from the listing, cabin was clean and we had everything we needed. The only downside was the early 10am checkout time. We’d consider staying here again for a ski weekend.

Excellent overall experience
Great overall experience in the area and in the cabin. Cabin was ideal distance to whitefish and Kalispell while still being remote. Cabin was good size, comfortable and relatively well stocked. I bought a new large fry pan and left there since pans are starting to be a bit beat up. Recommend to leave at least one bundle of wood for guests so we could have had a fire the first night. Slightly marked down on cleanliness since multiple dead crickets in the cabin and had to wash multiple pans/ casserole dishes before using. Note that when looking left out the back porch (near slider) there is a large dead tree that the owner may want to take down. A bad wind and it will bounce off a pine near the cabin and land on the cabin. Definitely want to come back and highly recommend.

Was really nice
The cabin was so beautiful. The only negative thing is the beetles. Apparently the property management had just sprayed and they came out of wood to die. I swept every day but they kept coming. I thought it was rat droppings. No rats just beetles. Cabin was awesome otherwise. Saw deer every morning. Management was great except when I tried to let them know I was leaving early. Couldn’t get a hold of anyone via email. So I couldn’t let anyone know so I could get a credit for a day. Otherwise Loved it there! Will stay here again.
