Dora’s Cabin at Grans – Flathead Lakefront, Dock, Kayaks, Pet Friendly

Welcome to Gran’s Cabins on Flathead Lake – Dora’s Cabin

Relax and unwind at Dora’s Cabin, a newer, pet-friendly 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat located on private property in Elmo, Montana—right on the shores of beautiful Flathead Lake.

You’ll enjoy 150 feet of private lake frontage, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the peaceful views. (Please note: swim at your own risk—no lifeguard on duty.)

Inside, Dora’s Cabin offers everything you need for a comfortable stay:
• A small kitchen stocked with essential utensils and cooking equipment
• A BBQ grill for easy outdoor meals
• A futon couch in the living area, providing sleeping space for up to 2 additional guests

The cabin itself is private, but the 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 also provide firewood and hotdog roasting sticks so you can enjoy a cozy evening around the fire.

Guests have access to kayaks, paddleboards, and other water recreation gear. Use of this equipment is at your own risk; the property owners are not liable for injuries or accidents.

Sunrises over Flathead Lake are absolutely stunning—you won’t want to miss them!

Located just 15–20 minutes from Polson and Lakeside, Dora’s Cabin offers 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. From 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, an online entry reservation is required to access the park during peak season—so be sure to plan ahead.

Traveling with a larger group? There is a second, similar cabin on the property (Flo’s) —perfect for friends or family who want to stay nearby but still enjoy their own space. Please reach out if you’re interested in booking both cabins together!

We (your hosts) stay in our RV on the property and are happy to offer help, local tips, or complete privacy—whatever makes your stay more enjoyable. We also have two friendly dogs on the property: a Pomsky and a Collie. They’re well-behaved, social, and love making new friends (but we’re happy to keep them away if preferred).

Clean and cute!

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.

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!

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.
