The Lazy K on Peaceful Bay is the spot for an idyllic Montana family reunion on the shores of Flathead Lake. The property is owned by a local Flathead Valley family who loves big family get-togethers accompanied by large meals and friendly, family competition. The location sums up the family’s favorite outdoor activities—easy access to the water, hiking and walks on local trails, and snow sports. The property has two houses: The Lake House and The Ranch House, which can be rented together if you need the bunk space, or separately. There is a dock for mooring your own watercraft, as well as a couple of kayaks, a paddleboat, and a paddleboard - you can swim off the dock area or wade in via a small beach. The house also has an eight-person hot tub to warm you up after a day on the lake or the ski hill.
While the grownups barbeque and relax on the expansive deck, the youngsters can play corn hole or start a pick-up wiffleball game on the large, grassy lawn leading to the lake. When it’s time to eat, there is an outdoor kitchen with a gas BBQ, griddle, and burners (no water) and seating for everyone under a covered deck just off the kitchen, as well as additional inside seating around the dining room table and bar. The property also has a firepit with lounge chairs for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, telling ghost stories, or singing campfire songs (guitar not included).
The house’s cool, quiet, daylight basement is perfect for an afternoon nap, cards, puzzles, and board games around another dining table. You will also find a massage chair and a 50-inch TV with Roku and an Xbox console. Upstairs, you will find a Ping-Pong room off the kitchen for some friendly competition while the next meal or drinks are being prepared. The kitchen has all the expected amenities and appliances, and some extras to ensure you keep your crew fed. Two on-deck drink coolers will keep everyone hydrated. The open plan design, with ample storage space for your Costco run, ensures everyone stays in the mix—even when a few people are lounging on the seven-person reclining couch in the adjacent living room. The living area is the perfect spot to spread out comfortably and stream fun shows or movies on the 42-inch TV with Roku.
Located just 70 feet away from the Lake House, The Ranch House offers a bright and well-appointed option for families or groups that need some extra space! This splendid home boasts a large kitchen, equipped with all the essentials to prepare exquisite homemade meals and treats for the crew. The sunny living area offers a fantastic and sunny spot to unwind and spread out comfortably with your loved ones. Curl up on the sofa and stream your favorite movies and shows on the large 80-inch smart TV with Roku. The house has an office space in one bedroom with a monitor, a desk, and a printer. The Ranch House is easily accessed via a ramped entrance. The primary suite enjoys a spacious gorgeous en suite bathroom with double vanity, a shower with a built-in bench, a makeup vanity, and a separate soaking tub. Additional perks include a dedicated laundry room with a washer/dryer, a gas grill, and access to a dedicated boat slip.
