Watson is a super cozy and mostly original 1971 vintage Streamline. Step back in time to see how travel was in those days – simple yet functional. Dark woods and calming greens bring a relaxing vibe to this handsome hunk who will wrap you in the comfort of his organic cotton beds or open his arms to you as you gather around my great-grandmother's dining table for a vintage cooked meal.
Walk ~3 minutes to the private Flathead Lake beach.
SUPs, kayaks, and a canoe for rent.
The space
Here’s what you get when you stay with us (besides comfy beds and epic lake vibes!)

✔️ UNLIMITED stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and river tubes for one flat fee — adventure all day!
✔️ Canoe rentals available for a little extra — if you’re feelin’ classic. 🛶
✔️ Stay 3-7 nights and save — longer stay = better deals = more lake time!
✔️ Free Turkish beach towels — soft, stylish, beach-ready! 🏖️
✔️ Free campfire wood — (when Smokey doesn’t ban burning) 🔥
✔️ Free Drysaks — keep your phone + snacks dry while you splash!
✔️ Free retro lawn chairs — borrow for beach lounging or groovin’ to music in the park 🎶
✔️ Free locally roasted coffee — fuel your Montana mornings
✔️ Family-owned and friendly hosts — with local tips and nuggets to share
───────── OVERVIEW 🌎
Outfitted with era-appropriate colors and personality, Watson has two twin beds centrally located in the camper. They are well-appointed with fluffy duvets made of recycled materials and organic cotton mattresses. Mood lights set the tone for a good night's rest.
Picnic tables, benches, and a propane grill are located outside.
💻 📚 Speedy WiFi with ample dining space at the front of the camper doubles as a great working space for guests who might need a work-cation.
❄️ 📺 There is one A/C. Watson does not have a TV — we invite you to unplug and enjoy the great outdoors and local attractions instead!
👧 🐶 This camper is not well suited for kids or dogs. For human kids and fur kids, please see our Flathead Lake Resort cabin rental listings.
🏖️ Public access to Flathead Lake is limited outside of state parks, making our private beach a rare and special perk. We encourage you to consider this when booking your stay with us.
───────── WHERE IT IS 👀
Located at Flathead Lake Resort, the property was built in the 1940s and is part of a calm lakeside community in Woods Bay (Bigfork, Montana). We are located 45 minutes south of GLACIER NATIONAL PARK. Be sure to view the "Where you’ll be" section located UNDER the MAP on this listing.
───────── ELECTRICITY ⚡️
This camper has outlets to charge personal electronics.
───────── ACCESS 🚗 🛻
Located along Highway 35, our location offers quick and easy access to all the best spots in the area. With this convenience, you may notice some road activity from early morning (~6 AM) through the early evening—but rest assured, nights are peaceful for a good night's sleep!
All guests get access to our private community beach on Flathead Lake.
───────── BEDROOM 🛏️
Watson is full of charm and his two twin beds are certainly part of that. It is an ideal setup for friends, those who appreciate a good slumber party, and those who don't want their covers stolen by the other person.
───────── THE KITCHEN 🌽 🍉 🥦
Up in the morning and out for the day, prepare your meals with the use of the gas stove (oven is for decoration), sink, fridge, and freezer. Pots, pans, and basic utensils are provided. While there are plenty of eateries around, a home-cooked Streamline meal around great-grandma's dining table makes for some nostalgic moments.
───────── THE BATHROOM 🚿 🧼
With a standup shower and RV-style toilet, Watson has you covered for your daily needs! And, with an electric water heater, you'll never run out of hot water! The standup shower works well for anyone under 6'1".
Guest access
───────── OUTDOORS, BEACH, AND WATER SPORTS RENTALS 🏄♀️ 🛶
All guests enjoy shared access to picnic tables, a propane grill, a fire pit, and water rentals (SUPs, kayaks, and a canoe).
A private neighborhood beach on Flathead Lake is just a ~3-minute walk away—a rare chance to experience the lake’s pristine waters. ✨ A fire pit and charcoal grill are available at the beach (unless a fire ban is in place).
───────── OUR NEIGHBORHOOD & LOCATION
We LOVE our neighborhood! Our quaint, quirky community dates back to the 1940s. It’s not fancy, but it’s fun! In our 70-year-old neighborhood, expect to see vintage cars, boats, tractors, and friendly neighborhood animals. The area is very safe.
We're located just off Highway 35, a beautiful scenic route along Flathead Lake’s east shore. While you may notice some road noise during the day, that’s the perfect time to be out exploring, hiking, or enjoying the lake! We hope this helps you to embrace the adventure and make the most of your time exploring!

From Kansas City to Bigfork, travel has shaped who I am. In 2013, my around-the-world tour was featured on the Dave Ramsey Show ('Brittain's World' on YouTube:). In 2014, Hostel KC was born. Its mission was to give back to the people of Jamaica. In 2016, I hit the road full-time with my husband and in 2020, we landed in Bigfork to manage, and eventually own Flathead Lake Resort - a small, family-owned, home-style experience. Welcome home!
