Wild Horse Island cabin on beautiful Flathead Lake, Montana. The space Escape to Untamed Majesty on Wild Horse Island! Discover the serene beauty and abundant wildlife that define the essence of western Montana. Nestled at the heart of this wilderness is Wild Horse Island, a 2,200-acre sanctuary within the pristine waters of Glacier-carved Flathead Lake. This enchanting island, with its gently sloping ridges adorned with native grasses, wildflowers, and towering Ponderosa pines, rises majestically 900 feet above the island’s serene shores. Wild Horse Island is a living testament to the natural world, where a small band of wild horses, descendants of indigenous Salish and Kootenai herds, roam freely. Alongside them, a thriving population of 200 bighorn sheep, mule deer, and coyotes call this island home. This sanctuary, preserved within Wild Horse Island State Park, offers a rare glimpse into a primitive wilderness, untouched by time. Handcrafted from native logs, this secluded cabin occupies one of the few private lots on the island, offering an unparalleled escape into nature. Designed for those who cherish off-the-grid tranquility without sacrificing comfort, this retreat is a sanctuary for the soul. The cabin features a well-appointed kitchen complete with a propane refrigerator and range oven, a full bathroom with a shower and tub, a spacious loft with queen and twin beds, a master bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a queen fold-out couch in the living room. Modern conveniences, including electric lights and appliances, are powered by solar energy, with a quiet gas-powered generator as backup. While cellular reception is excellent at the cabin, we invite you to disconnect completely and lose yourself in a good book from the cabin’s curated library. Though open fires are strictly prohibited both on the property and within the state park, the cabin is equipped with a cozy wood stove and a BBQ grill, ensuring warmth and hearty meals during your stay. Step outside to the wrap-around deck and private boat dock, where you can savor the calming breezes and the soothing sound of waves lapping against the pebble-strewn shore. This is outdoor relaxation at its finest. From this tranquil base, your adventures are limitless. Hike to the island’s highest peak and drink in the breathtaking vistas of the Mission and Swan Mountains to the east, the Salish Mountains to the west, and on clear days, the distant peaks of Glacier National Park 60 miles to the north. Explore the island’s perimeter by motorboat, canoe, or kayak, or embark on a self-guided tour of the cabins and mansions on the mainland. Fishing enthusiasts will find Big Arm Bay a haven, but remember to secure the necessary permits from the local tribe before your visit. Whether you bring your own boat or rent one locally, access to this island paradise is seamless, with water taxi services readily available. Your canine companions are welcome on the property and in the cabin, though they must remain within the one-acre cabin lot, as dogs are not permitted in the state park. Experience the rugged elegance and unspoiled beauty of Wild Horse Island, where every moment is a step closer to nature’s grandeur. Guest access Access is by boat only!
