Remarks: Living on the grounds of the historic Kootenai Lodge is a unique opportunity to be part of the old Montana west. Originally acquired in 1906 by the copper kings, Evans & Kelley; it was designed as a place to spend carefree summers fishing with friends & family. The main lodge has been meticulously restored & sits where the Swan River meets the lake. It is a gathering place for those lucky enough to live here. The Madison Cabin reflects that western feel and integrates stone, wood & copper. It offers 3 bedroom suites, office, great room w/ 20 ft. ceilings, rock fireplace & deluxe kitchen with Viking appliances. The condo type ownership allows you to lock & leave so you can enjoy the lifestyle & not worry about upkeep. Sold furnished; just bring your fishing rod & bathing suit.And Surface Water: in common areas The private residential community of Kootenai offers full use of all common amenities within the 42 acres. There is a pool & pool house, gym, historic lodge, dock, use of new pontoon boat, yard maintenance, building maintenance, grass and beach areas, private access to Swan Lake, Swan River, and Johnson Creek.

It was visited by Charles Lindbergh, Will Rogers and John D. Rockefeller. Charlie Russell even engraved a number of playful images into the courtyard floor. The property owners have use of this magical lodge and surrounding grounds to entertain friends, gather by the fireplace, play the piano, or just relax on the porch. A swim in Swan Lake or float down the Swan River are literally out the door.
