The setting

Flathead Valley, Montana

In Lakeside, near Somers, Kalispell, Whitefish, Flathead Lake, and Glacier Country.

The Flathead Valley stretches from Flathead Lake north through Somers, Lakeside, Kalispell and Whitefish, with Glacier Country beyond. Trailstead's two Montana homes sit in the Somers–Lakeside area, which keeps the lake close while staying within a reasonable drive of the valley's towns and airports.

Plan Flathead Valley

We publish city and region only. The exact address is shared through the official booking channel.
