Christmas & New Year's Vacation Rental Near Flathead Lake
Want the whole group together for Christmas or New Year's in Montana? The Evergreen is a six-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Somers, at the north end of Flathead Lake. It sleeps 14+ with flexible sleeping arrangements and has a private hot tub, a barrel sauna, a private speakeasy, a large game room and two fireplaces. Christmas and New Year's are popular holiday weeks, so check the live booking calendar for your dates first.
A holiday house for the whole group
The holidays are easier when nobody has to leave at the end of the night. At The Evergreen your family or friends share one home: six bedrooms with flexible sleeping arrangements, 3.5 bathrooms, a long dining table and two lounges. The stone-fireplace great room is the natural place for Christmas morning, and the second lounge has a linear fireplace and a puzzle table for a quieter corner.
Kids have a climbing gym and a game room with arcade cabinets, a pool table, shuffleboard, foosball and air hockey. Adults have the private speakeasy with a poker table. Confirm your full party size on the current booking page.
Christmas week at The Evergreen
Christmas week is about slow mornings, big meals and evenings together. The open kitchen has island seating so the cooks stay part of the gathering, and the dining table keeps the group around one meal. Plan grocery shopping in Kalispell ahead of time, because stores are busy and many businesses change their hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
We do not promise holiday decor, snow or specific events. Whitefish and the surrounding towns hold their own seasonal events; check the organisers' official pages for confirmed dates. Our events page lists winter dates only when an official source confirms them.
Ringing in the New Year, quietly
New Year's at The Evergreen suits groups that want to count down together at the house. Spend the evening in the hot tub and barrel sauna, play poker in the speakeasy, or settle a game-room tournament before midnight. The stone fire pit is there for anyone who wants to step outside on a clear night.
This is a group stay, not an event venue: the house rules do not allow parties or events, and quiet hours apply on New Year's Eve like any other night. Guests beyond your booked party are not permitted.
Ski days between the holidays
The week between Christmas and New Year's is a favourite time for skiing in the Flathead Valley. Blacktail Mountain Ski Area and Whitefish Mountain Resort above the town of Whitefish are both within reach. Each mountain sets its own season and holiday operations, so check the official resort sites for current opening information before you plan around a ski day.
Glacier National Park stays open in winter with limited road access. Check the National Park Service for current conditions, and check Montana 511 before any longer drive.
How to book Christmas or New Year's
Christmas and New Year's are popular holiday weeks. Select Check dates & book direct to see live availability, the total price and the terms on the official Evergreen booking page. Rates are shown for the dates you choose; we do not publish holiday prices here. Some groups book one holiday, others cover both with a longer stay.
If you want to stay well beyond the holidays, ask about monthly winter stays between November and April.
Planning a holiday stay for a big group
Holiday trips with several households go more smoothly with a little planning. Agree on arrival and departure days early, because holiday flights and roads get busy. Decide who cooks which meals, and plan one grocery run for the whole stay so the kitchen is stocked before Christmas Eve. Assign bedrooms ahead of time; with six bedrooms and flexible sleeping arrangements, most groups put families with young children near each other and give grandparents a quieter room.
Build some unscheduled time into the week. The best holiday days at The Evergreen tend to be the slow ones: a late breakfast, a game-room tournament, an afternoon in the sauna and a long dinner. Share the booking page with everyone so the house rules and check-in details are in one place.
Winter arrival tips
Glacier Park International Airport serves the valley. Holiday flights fill early and winter weather can delay travel, so give arrival days some slack. A vehicle ready for Montana winter roads is a good idea; the driveway and three-car garage help when snow arrives. Pack warm layers and swimsuits for the hot tub and sauna.
The Evergreen has no private, deeded, direct or property-specific lake access. Flathead Lake is reached the same way everyone else does — nearby public beaches, public boat ramps, marinas and parks. No boat, dock or slip is included with the stay.
