    In a matter of a few days we have finished this beautiful lake multiple times. Few words come to mind but one stands out, Beautiful! Being from Southern California I am not privy to lakes as large as Flathead with such prestine water and breath taking views. Flathead is beyond what you can imagine till you actually see it in person and drive around it (takes a lot longer than you think). Polson, MT is one of the little towns dotted around the lake but it provides you with a plethora of little shops, motels and spots of interest. Along our drive around the lake we came across Antique stores, a jerky Vendor (amazing Buffalo jerky), boat/watercraft rentals (both daily and for the season and scenic spots that will take breath away. If you're in Montana or are planning a trip within a few hundred miles of it than it would be in your best interest to make the pilgrimage. You won't regret it!

    After a storm it can look like Panama City Beach lol

    Not as clean as my last visit but that was 30 yrs ago. Still beautiful with lots to do tho. Unfortunately salmon I think is also now gone.

    THIS IS THE NASTIEST HOTEL IVE EVER SEEN OR EVEN HEARD ABOUT…read more Appalling. Disgusting. NEVER EVER STAY HERE!!! We stayed here thinking oh cool, a casino, right on the lake, could be a vibe...yeah if your vibe is scary ppl, terrible service, and obviously health hazards. We checked in and at first glance understood this place was in desperate need of a facelift or demo...however we did not realize how accurate we were until we actually got to our room. It was dark when we arrived to our first room... so we did not realize all of the "fun" we would have until we returned to our room around midnight after the pre wedding party we attended. When we returned, the children that were still awake, next-door were ao loud and literally (trying to) coming through our connecting room....clearly their parents were down in the casino. Speaking of The casino- it was small, cramped, smoky, and somehow topped out at $2 slot machines. Only penny slots- we played for 30 seconds and left. Horrible. Back to the room- where we noticed hair on the sheets in our FIRST room. We call the front desk, maybe 3 or 4 times between the wild animals next to us, to the hairy sheets, to the Pepsi that was dispensed from the vending machine after we requested Aquafina- Vending machine man: "clearly they won't notice the Pepsi isnt Aquafina" We didn't mention the dirt/food/drink stains inside the fridge because at that point it was low on the list just to sleep. We request a room move the next day because we are exhausted from traveling- we move down the hall to a non connecting room, where it was even dirtier. All pictures attached are from the SECOND room we move to. I am not surprised there were only housekeeping carts and no actual housekeepers in the halls or rooms, because no one was actually cleaning these rooms. Don't worry about bringing your own snacks to this hotel there are plenty in the room already for you We never tried the bar/grille place because it looked just as gross just even walking by.... Out of desperation We finally decided to call around and moved to the Polson Inn across the street where Jessica at the front desk was beyond accommodating and kind. She showed us 2 rooms before we finally chose one of their newly renovated king rooms overlooking the lake. Everyone here has been kind and best yet the room isn't hazardous to my health. They should demolish Kwataqnuk Casino, and MAYBE try again.

You pay extra for children, but they don't really have anything extra for them except for the ping-pong table which you have to buy your own balls and also miniature golf which you have to pay for. But the pool was nice and clean and they did enjoy that. the pet area is not suitable for small dogs because they can get under the chain-link fence. The table was crooked and on an angle making it for uncomfortable seating. It is right next to an airport and sometimes the planes are very noisy upon takeoff or landing, but did not detract from our visit. The gift shop was standard. They did have a lot of T-shirts and clothing to select from but the food area could've been improved with more selection. It was a great place to watch the Fourth of July fireworks. They also have a very nice outdoor seating area just outside of the souvenir shop --registration office where there is a beautiful view of the lake however, the motorcoach park that is just below us had preferable seating, and a closed event which limited us to Not enjoying that area for a few hours on the Fourth of July

We were unable to enjoy the outdoors of our cabin at all. And when pulling out the hide a bed for our children we were quietly and secretly smashing spiders so they wouldn't see! It was terrible!!! We also had mice droppings on our cooler every night.

    We happened by this little gem while backtracking on our drive - after missing our turn in Polson -…read moreand figured, what the heck: it was a good time for a lunch break, there was a cell signal, bathrooms, and a fantastic buoyed swim area in Flathead lake. This turned out to be a great roadside stop. We were there at about noon and the place was almost vacant, but as we were leaving at about 1:30 the place was really starting to fill up with families and boaters (there's a boat ramp). When my girls wanted to swim, we quickly realized that the swim area lake bottom was ROCKY. We live in Hawaii and we are lucky enough to have sandy beaches EVERYWHERE. This didn't deter by daughters in the least, but it did manage to slow their advance into the water significantly. Sadly, I did reduce it a star for this, since Yelps are about personal experiences. But if a rocky bottom shredding your feet isn't an issue for you ... then it's a 5. The water was a bit murky where you entered, but cleared up nicely as you went further out. The water was also refreshingly cold - perfect for a hot day. There was also a little pier for diving and jumping.

    We were into for just a short time and needed a place for the kids to stretch their legs! We were…read moresad to see the playground closed but that is expect in the current time. We walked along the lake and read all the informational signs. See like a great place to swim and hang out as a family. Might need to come back in the future to really try it out.
