Accessible Cottage
My husband has limited mobility; the Cottage was perfect for parking near the door, on a single level with easy access, and a hostess who was more than willing to help us even more. This unit is spotless, cozy, and inviting. Highly recommend!

Clean, convenient
Hostess is informative and cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped. You can walk into Somers and to Flathead Lake (gear rentals too!). There is a busy road to cross and a few feet of no sidewalk. Easy drive into Kalispell and about an hour to the West Entrance of Glacier. Don’t go to Dell’s Bar - locals are not friendly.
