Live on it. 〰️

Welcome to our tiny living community nestled in Woods Bay, Montana, just steps away from the stunning shores of Flathead Lake.

Located 7 minutes south of Bigfork and 45-minutes from Glacier National Park, our long-term rentals (6+ months) provide unique private access to our community beach on Flathead Lake, community fire pits and grills, and endless places to explore, eat, and catch great entertainment.

We are thrilled to open our doors year-round, inviting you to become part of our community with extended stays of 6 months or more!

Apply to live at flathead lake

Because we are a small, close-knit property, we take care in choosing residents who are a good fit. Our property has a history, personality, and neighbors who tend to know each other — it tends to attract a certain kind of person.

People who thrive here tend to appreciate nature, independence, and respectful neighbors. Some stay a season. Some never leave.

Our goal is simple:

build community through TRAVEL, GOOD PEOPLE, AND SIMPLE LIVING

    • Want to live near Flathead Lake without the million-dollar price tag

    • Appreciate simple, mid-century charm over cookie-cutter spaces

    • Like the idea of a small community where people actually know your name and say hello

    • Work remotely, seasonally, or locally and want a home base steps from the water

    • Enjoy mornings so quiet you can hear the geese calling, sunset swims, and paddling across Woods Bay whenever the mood strikes
      *daytime noise from Hwy-35 is present

    • Have a dog that loves lake life as much as you do

    • Are looking for a party house or nightlife scene

    • Need lots of indoor square footage (here, the lake is your living room)

    • Prefer total privacy over a shared-property vibe

    • Aren't into community agreements or house guidelines

If that sounds like your kind of place, you might feel right at home here.

Here's how to get started:

  1. Submit your application with 4 references (including 2 past landlords who can vouch for you)

  2. Complete a background check (quick and easy, just cover the approximate $30 cost on your end)

  3. Once approved, you're almost home:

    • Lock it in with your security deposit (equal to one month’s rent)

      • Tiny Home owners renting a FHU slip pay a $500 security deposit

    • First month's rent due mid-way between the deposit date and move-in date

    • Last month's rent due at move-in

Security deposits come back in full when you move out, as long as you leave the place as beautiful as you found it.
