Property Description
Welcome to Gran’s Cabins on Flathead Lake – Dora’s Cabin Relax and unwind at Dora’s Cabin, a newer, pet-friendly 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat located on private property in Elmo, Montana—right on the shores of beautiful Flathead Lake. 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).About pets:Pets allowed: dogs and cats (limit 2 total).About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:No events allowed.

Check-in was flawless. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. The 150 foot private lake frontage and access to the dock during our stay was amazing. We appreciated our Host’s Joe & Minta’s hospitality.

This cabin was perfect for our base to explore Montana. It was clean, comfy and the bed was very comfortable. The owners were super friendly and welcoming. Access to the lake and kayaks, paddle board, etc were an awesome amenity. Lakefront with a magnificent view! Loved our stay here!

Smoking Accusing me of smoking in the cabin when I don’t smoke and requesting some fee! I kept it nice and clean never had anyone ever accuse me of anything staying with VRBOs. It was so hot had the AC going the whole time these people are liars and cheats! I put pizza boxes and food in the trash? It’s hot? IDK but I’ll stay far away from these people!

41 in 41 Spent our 41st anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better place. Joe and Minta are awesome hosts. Cabin was beautiful and accommodating. Great recommendations for food and history of sites on the lake. They are very hospitable and we enjoyed our fireside chatter. Thanks to you both for a wonderful visit and stay.

Clean and cute! Loved the lake view and super quick access to the water. Parking was right outside the door. The rental was very clean and cute; did not go without a thing. The owners were so nice and accommodating. The drive to West Glacier took us on many adventures in between! Would definitely stay again.
