The town of Polson in Montana is about as far removed from the bright lights of typical tourist destinations in USA as it is possible to get - and that’s certainly no bad thing. Polson offers a chance to spend your break in an idyllic setting, on the shore of Flathead Lake and within the reaches of the Indian Reservation which also bears the name Flathead. In the environs, you can take leisurely sightseeing trips that include the imposing Kerr Dam, along with numerous public parks such as the Sacajawea Park and Point Salish; there are also beguiling, offbeat attractions including the Glacier Brewing Company and a few museums to be enjoyed too. All in all, it’s a wonderful place to holiday for anyone who wants a little more quiet time, and if you check into one of the best Vrbo vacation rentals in Polson, you’ll find that it’s perhaps the most chilled holiday experience you could imagine.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

1. Delightful log cabin overlooking the lake (from USD 208)
If you’ve come to Polson looking for a break from the crowds, then there aren’t many options that even come close to this two-person log cabin which looks out over the lake. It’s not huge, but there’s all the room you need for two people or a solo traveler, and along with a fully equipped kitchen you’ll also find a gas barbecue on the back porch. There is no TV in the cabin, which adds to the serenity, but if you need to be connected you can rest assured that the cell service is strong and there is wireless internet - you’re also about half a mile (0.8 km) from Yellow Bay State Park.

The kitchen is fully stocked, and contains vintage appliances that add to the character of the rental. The loft room and bunk room feature log beds, and the property does not have a TV - but there is full WiFi which allows you to stream movies and TV shows as you wish.

Peaceful Polson is a perfect place to get away from it all
Given that a holiday should offer the chance to relax and de-stress, there can be few places in USA that offer a better chance to get away from it all quite as Polson does. All of the above rental properties offer the chance to get some distance between you and your work, and the bustle of city life. More than that, though, they offer the chance to see a part of the world that never gets quite as much attention as the famed holiday haunts elsewhere in America. So take the chance to fall in love with Polson, and it will reward you with a perfect getaway experience.
