We live on 10 acres of mixed forest and field. In the summer we have an active blacksmithing school and flower farm here. The idea of a sustainable, self reliant lifestyle has always been part of our life and passing it down to others is a joy for us. We sustainably manage our food and forest to be the best stewards we can for our environment and our neighbors. Our Cabin and structures were built primarily of materials that were recycled or milled on site. which makes them warm and inviting. The Cabin is located close to our shop which houses an active blacksmithing school in the summer months where the rest of the structures are separate and in an area tucked away on the edge of the woods.Jeffrey and Betsy work to make your stay as welcoming as possible. We maintain a small orchard of fruit trees, a garden which feeds us year round and a small flower farm on the property. Avid skiers, bikers, paddlers and hikers, offering the property for others to enjoy was a conscious decision made when planning all of our infrastructure. Come and enjoy all the beautiful Flathead Valley has to offer.

Lakeside camping in Montana guide

Overview

Picture yourself stretched out on a tranquil lake with mountain peaks reflected on the water. Montana lake camping is a favorite pastime for locals and visitors—primarily because the opportunities are nearly endless. Major lake destinations like Flathead and Seeley Lake draw visitors for the scenery, water sports, fishing, and great summer swimming, but the state map is dotted with blue spots offering a large array of reservoirs and natural lakes to explore. Clean, cold water is perfect for cooling off in the summer heat with lakefront public and private campgrounds across the state. The spring thaw and fall months also offer few crowds and quiet campsites at some of the most coveted lakeside destinations. When you’re not roasting s'mores over a fire or casting a line, grab supplies or a cold beer at one of the state’s many famous breweries in towns like Bigfork, Helena, Ennis, Dillon, and more.
