Cabane de Dora à Grans – Bord de lac Flathead, foyer, quai, kayaks, animaux acceptés
Welcome to Gran’s Cabins on Flathead Lake – Dora’s Cabin
Relax and unwind at Dora’s Cabin, a pet-friendly 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat on private property in Elmo, Montana, right on the shores of beautiful Flathead Lake. Dora’s Cabin is one of two short-term rentals on the property, offering privacy while still being part of a friendly, shared setting.
Guests can enjoy 150 feet of private lake frontage, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing while taking in the peaceful lake views. (Please note: swim at your own risk—there is no lifeguard on duty.)
Flathead Lake water levels are managed by the Seli'š Ksanka Qlispe' (SKQ) Dam, with the goal of reaching a full pool elevation of 2,893 feet by mid-June each year. Weather patterns and seasonal conditions can affect lake levels, and Energy Keepers Inc. manages dam operations to balance irrigation, recreation, and power generation needs. The lake is typically lowered by about 10 feet during the winter months.
Inside, Dora’s Cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay:
* Small kitchen stocked with utensils and cooking equipment, hot Plate * BBQ grill for easy outdoor meals * Futon couch in the living area that can sleep up to two additional guests
The cabin itself is private, but outdoor spaces are shared with guests staying in the second cabin and with our family, who occasionally stay in on-site RVs. Shared amenities include the lawn, beach access, dock, gazebo, fire pit, and parking area.
We provide firewood and hotdog roasting sticks so you can enjoy a cozy evening around the fire.
Guests also have access to kayaks, paddleboard, and other water recreation equipment. Use of this equipment at your own risk, and the property owners are not liable for accidents or injuries.
Sunrises over Flathead Lake are absolutely stunning—you won’t want to miss them.
Dora’s Cabin is located just 15–20 minutes from Polson and Lakeside, offering a peaceful base for both adventure and relaxation.
Planning to visit Glacier National Park? It’s about a 2.5-hour drive from the cabin. No reservation system in 2026....Visit the parks website for entry information.
Need more space? Book the second cabin on-site for friends or family while keeping your privacy
Your hosts stay in an RV on the property and are happy to provide local tips, assistance, or complete privacy—whatever makes your stay most enjoyable. They are more likely to be on-site during peak season. We also have two friendly dogs on the property—a Pomsky and a Collie. They are well-behaved and social, but we’re happy to keep them away if you prefer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dora's Cabin. Minta and Joe's hospitality was second to none!We didn't spend a great deal of time in the cabin—there is simply so much to do on Flathead Lake! However, the time we did spend there was relaxing, comfortable, and enjoyable.Their generosity in providing access to lake activities, including kayaks, the fire pit, and other amenities, allowed us to fully experience and enjoy everything the lake has to offer.Minta and Joe were also full of great recommendations for activities around the lake, wonderful restaurants, and must-see attractions in nearby towns.We even spent an evening by the fire with them, enjoying great conversation and their company.What a wonderful gem they have shared with their guests. Dora's Cabin will always be a vacation destination for us, and we look forward to returning again and again!

Spent our 41st anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better place. Joe and Minta are awesome hosts. Cabin was beautiful and accommodating. Great recommendations for food and history of sites on the lake. They are very hospitable and we enjoyed our fireside chatter. Thanks to you both for a wonderful visit and stay.

Bliss by the Water
Everything was perfectly well thought out between all the small details you need, the comfortable bed, bathroom, kitchen etc. We were easily able to stop by for groceries prior and spent the days by the lake and the nights star gazing. Relaxation at its finest. Thank you to our amazing hosts!

We celebrated our 10th anniversary at this beautiful place. It was soo relaxing. Our German Shepherd, Lakota, was welcome. All 3 of us loved being on the lake and playing on the very spacious grounds. The cabin itself was cozy and tastefully decorated. Our 10th anniversary was lovely and we made some great memories at this beautiful place. Thank you!

Loved the lake view and super quick access to the water. Parking was right outside the door. The rental was very clean and cute; did not go without a thing. The owners were so nice and accommodating. The drive to West Glacier took us on many adventures in between! Would definitely stay again.

Little Oasis
First, the house was exceptionally clean. It was just the two of us, so it was the perfect size. When we first arrived, we were greeted by the hosts who were extremely friendly and welcoming. I wished we could’ve stayed longer to actually use the kayaks on the lake because the property was perfect for it. We did get to enjoy the sunrise over the lake each morning which was absolutely gorgeous. 10/10 would recommend.

Smoking
Accusing me of smoking in the cabin when I don’t smoke and requesting some fee! I kept it nice and clean never had anyone ever accuse me of anything staying with VRBOs. It was so hot had the AC going the whole time these people are liars and cheats! I put pizza boxes and food in the trash? It’s hot? IDK but I’ll stay far away from these people!
