3 story cedar sided home is located on Bull lake (Angel Island), Northwest Montana 15 miles south of Troy (Montana). Bull lake is a short, 60 miles from Sandpoint Idaho, and a 2 hour drive from Spokane (Washington), or, Kalispell (Montana).
The upper floor boasts two bedrooms (queen bed each) and a full bath. On the main floor is the third bedroom (queen bed), full bath, full kitchen, and living room (with sleeper sofa) and fire place. The lower level consists of a large family room (with piano, wet bar with beverage refrigerator, fold down couch), office (lightly furnished), 1/2 bath and laundry room. Just outside the door you will find a glass enclosed hot tub room. Furniture is comfortable and tastfull. the hardwood floor, open beams, cedar waistboard and accents give the home a cabin feel. The large windows and doors make it light and friendly. You'll find a TV (antena 4 channels), DVD, VCR and stereo on the main floor and a TV and VCR on the lower level. The large deck on the main floor (facing the water and wetland) allows indoor and outdoor activities to mix.
the permanent dock will allow you to pull the ski/fishing boat right up into the back yard. Bring your fishing poles or water skis. Or, just relax with a game of horse shoes by the water. Please note: The home is located on a canal that seperates the island aprox 50 yards to open water in the lake. During periods in summer the canal can become shallow. Larger boats should be equiped with power trim to accomodate shallow water.
Wild life is plentifull, world class deer, elk, moose and bear frequent the area. For the bird watchers, don't be surprised to spot bald, or golden eagels, heron, osprey or any number of bird of prey as well as waterfowl and numerous smaller spieces.
Any number of outdoor activities are as close as the door. Hiking, fishing, hunting are the norm for this area. The Cabinet Mountian Wilderness area is just a stones throw, and make a good view from the deck.
Troy (15 miles) will accomodate shopping for essentials (gas groceries). For more extensive small town shopping (including antiques), Libby is 30 miles but a great drive with some highlights on the way (possible big horn sheep viewing and cable foot bridge Kootenai River). Don't miss the Ross creek cedars (very impressive) which is just a short drive (7 miles) from the house.
Bull lake is aprox 5 miles long and Angel Island seperates the upper third from the lower by a 100 yard wide channel. It is ideal for fishing and any number of water sports. The boat launch is located aprox 1/2 mile (on the Island) from the house and a rocky beach is adjacent to the launch area.
All linens and towels are provided (excepting beach towels/beach blankets). Guests have use to fire pit, hot tub, dock, horse shoes, charcoal barbecue, canoes, Angel island boat launch, tennis court and beach.
Get out of the rat race, let your hair down, take your shoes off and enjoy the sunny Montana days, cool nights, wildlife and all the rockies have to offer. It truly is the last great place (for the eyes, mind and body).
