Stunning Bootjack Lake Lodge - Authentic Log home with incredible views!

Bootjack Lake Lodge is a rare and unique property, offering a year-round paradise, and the perfect vacation destination for seclusion and fun in Big Sky Country!

This private 66 acre estate on a wooded bluff offers a spectacular 55-mile view of pristine, 35 acre Bootjack Lake as well as the mountain ranges beyond. The 4500+ sq. ft. custom log, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath lodge is bordered by the Flathead National Forest and 4200 ft of private lake frontage. Be ready for Trophy Trout Fishing, Kayaking, Canoeing and SUP's, picnics and swimming! Use of the owner`s canoe is available for guest enjoyment!

Inside:  There are a total of 4 bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms with 1 king in the master, 2 queen bedrooms, and 1 double/full bedroom, as well as a pull out sofa bed in the main family room.  On the 3rd level of the home you will find the spacious master king bedroom with a view for miles and a full bath with separate walk-in shower as well as a whirlpool tub. The main floor of the lodge consists of a formal dining room, a great room with a massive rock wood burning fireplace, a large kitchen with modern appliances, a half bath, and a family room with entertainment center (big screen satellite television, DVD, stereo). On the lowest level downstairs is another television/family area, complete with another wood burning fireplace. The other three bedrooms are also downstairs, one of which is en-suite with the bathroom including claw foot bathtub. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom with a wonderful steam shower. The lodge is furnished with comfortable furniture and is nicely air-conditioned in summer.

After a day of adventure, relax in the private hot tub on the deck overlooking the lake and mountains, and take in the stunning views while listening to the loons on the lake in the evening. The lodge is surrounded by thousands of acres of Flathead National Forest, making it an ideal home base for hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. The home is nestled in a natural environment, where you can expect to enjoy the presence of local wildlife, including birds, insects, and bats, which contribute to the area's unique charm and biodiversity. In addition to the wonderful array of local wildlife, our property is also known for occasionally hosting big game animals like deer and bears. 

In the winter months, guests can head to Whitefish Mountain Resort for skiing and snowboarding, which is only 18 miles away from the lodge! Big Mountain, as locals still lovingly call it has 3,000 acres of world class downhill skiing at the ski resort, with spectacular views of Glacier National Park from the summit!  Go snowshoeing through the woods, book a snowmobile trip, or enjoy a day trip to Glacier National Park, located just 37 miles away -  a must-visit for nature enthusiasts!

Bootjack Lake Lodge
Returned home this week after a fantastic stay at Bootjack Lake Lodge. Beautiful lodge with even better views over looking the lake. Whitefish was an easy 20-25 minute drive from the house making trips to activities/dinners a breeze. The staff at Lakeshore Rentals were very friendly and quickly available for questions/assistance. Check-in and check-out were easy. Lodge was clean, comfortable, and very accommodating. Would return in a heartbeat!

Montana / August getaway
There was no surprises as far as what the property looked like. It is in a beautiful location. - Very remote - Hot tub could have been cleaner. New/clean water would have been good - Upstairs bathtub was not clean. It smelled of fish. We put water in the tub to clean it and couldn't get it to drain.

Breathtaking
The photos don't do the property justice. It was much nicer in person. The drive up to the home was long but made for total privacy and quiet. This area is so beautiful in summer and the long daylight hours made every day packed with things to do. We went zip lining at the ski resort, horseback riding and rented a boat on Whitefish. All amazing!

Absolutely breathtaking, serene location...what a stay!
You always worry about posed photos or great angles in homes. But there was no denying this home or this place. It's absolutely awe-inspiring. Bootjack Lake is absolutely peaceful and beautiful. Even in the middle of what the Whitefish area calls summer. Everything about our trip-from the stay, to the location, to the home, the rooms and the kitchen equipment, patio area and hot-tub-was amazing. It was everything we needed and more. Just wish we had an excuse to get the fireplace going! To add to this, the folks answering the phones for check-in and check-out were great. Can't say enough about the entire experience. From beginning to end. Just pitch perfect. Thank you so much!

Great view!
Bootjack Lake Lodge is located down a two mile long private road off of the county road. There was plenty of space for the group of 8 to spread out and have quiet places or gather as a group. The sun room overlooking the lake provides stunning views of the sunrise and the Milky Way can be seen at night above the hot tub and deck. The four bedrooms were spread out to give privacy. Wildlife is near so be prepared to witness them as you walk or drive the trail to the lake. We had responses to our questions overnight with most of our questions being anticipated in the communications leading up to our stay. We had a memorable family vacation!

Beautiful place and views!
We loved this house and it suited our group of seven very well! Honestly, the only real complaint is that I read a lot of reviews that said the Wi-Fi and Internet are good or even great. We did not find this to be the case. There are times when it would work decently well but it was very unpredictable and intermittent. Not a big deal except that we had one person who was trying to work remotely two days of the week we spent there. He had to go into town and sit at a Starbucks all day to be able to do zoom and video calls, etc. The lake is beautiful and the house is quite well stocked. The only two utensils we found to be missing that we needed were a pie server, and a brush for oil for meat to grill. Other than that it is extremely well stocked. We found everything in good working order and the beds comfortable! I read various reviews about the distance into whitefish I will just say it takes a good 20 minutes. But we were thrilled with being able to be out in the mountains above the lake and not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. Unless you plan to eat out a lot, it’s not a big deal. We did a lot of grilling and cooking at the house. It did take about one hour and 10 to 15 minutes to get to the entrance of the West glacier national Park. Well worth the drive though! We would go at 5:30 in the morning and then there is very little traffic and parking available in some of the areas. There are also many areas to hike closer to the house. . The main dock that you use for this house was replaced while we were there and it is very nice. The canoe is also a lot of fun. I recommend driving over there rather than walking though. The smaller dock is in need of replacement as well and I’m sure they have it on the list. And it’s not really easy to get to that one. All in all, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed staying at the boot Jack Lodge!

Wildlife and Amazing Views
The view from the back patio was amazing! We used the canoe and and saw two Loon’s. It was nice to have private lake access. Every day we saw a Mom deer and her baby. The house wasn’t too far from Whitefish. We cooked dinner most nights and the kitchen was well stocked! The Master bed was super comfortable. The only con: The previous renters left garbage in the garage cans that were not bear proof. My husband had to pick up someone else’s trash that was scattered all over the yard. Pretty gross! If you stay here follow the rules and don’t leave trash unsecured or you will probably encounter a bear or have a mess to clean.

Great week on the Lake
We had the best time! The house was better in person than what we expected from the pictures. The views were spectacular. There were 7 of us staying for the week and the house was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed (pots, pans and appliances) we only ate out once. We used the bbq 3 times out on the deck. We had all of the towels, paper products, and cleaning supplies as well. There were two TV’s with access to satellite television as well as streaming capabilities. WiFi was great and easily accessible. As far as location, it was quiet where it was situated and really heard the neighbors (only when they were on the lake). It was a bit of a walk to the lake, but a pleasant and easy one. The property had a canoe for us to use and we enjoyed using it. There were fishing poles to use as well. The furnishings were comfortable and inviting. We felt right at home. Weather was great, it was a little warmer the week we we were there but the house has central air and made the house comfortable. Bootjack Lake is beautiful we enjoyed canoeing, fishing, and swimming there. The location was close to everything we wanted to do. Glacier National Park was amazing, Whitefish was beautiful, and we had a great day white water rafting. In a nutshell, we fell in love with the Bootjack house and Montana!

Awesome Mountain get away ! Great Cabin !
My wife and I took our 2 kids up to this mountain retreat on the outskirts of Whitefish, Montana and also very near Kalispell (almost equal distance to both) for our summer vacation. Easy access to both towns (in summer) if you need to get in. The Cabin sits perched above the small BootJack lake. You get the feeling of having a private lake as there are only 6-7 homes around the lake. They have a canoe which was fun to take it. There is a little bit of a walk to get to it (FYI, just in case you have someone with a condition/elderly) but not bad. Cabin had a great home-like feel to it, while still having all the amenities/quality you want in a nice place (wifi, Satellite tv, jacuzzi on deck, good water pressure, nice master suite, etc). I loved that it is "off the beaten path" down a long unpaved mountain road, so you have total privacy and solitude. Saw a deer one morning outside the cabin, and a bald eagle fly and and perch in a tree alongside the lake. 30 minutes to Glacier National Park. Did the whitewater rafting in the park which was awesome, great hikes there, Going to Sun Road up to the Continental Divide is the most breathtaking road in the U.S. (also not for those with fear of heights, with curvy road, no shoulder and deep drop off on one side, but spectacular views/scenery). Definitely recommend, and will be going back Lord willing !

Relaxing, quiet, beautiful view!
We stayed here with friends and family to celebrate my husband's 40th. We had plenty of room in the home and the grounds were beautiful. There were trails to hike and venture out on and we completely enjoyed the private lake and canoe that was provided. The view from the back deck was breathtaking as well as the enjoyment of a dip in the hottub. Highly recommend!

This beautiful home in a picturesque location fit the needs of our family reunion/ vacation perfectly. We spent days at Glacier and in Whitefish and evening grilling and cooking in, playing games, putting together puzzles, soaking in the hot tub and reuniting. The house was outfitted with every possible thing we needed, was spacious and comfortable. The private beach, dock and canoe were an added bonus. It was hot while we visited and it was lovely and refreshing. The only downside, though not in the owner’s control were the yellow jackets. They made it nearly impossible to enjoy the lovely decks and grilling was challenging. We emptied and rebaited he traps several times but more traps are necessary and would make outside time safer and more pleasant. We were just a tiny bit disappointed not to spot a bear, but seriously, we were very cautious and though we brought our own, appreciated the bear spray that was provided. I would recommend this home to large groups visiting this beautiful part of Montana.
