Stone Creek Camp. . .a post modern Adirondack style camp on Flathead Lake

Adirondack architecture dates back to the 19th century...a style using rustic and indigenous materials on the estates built for wealthy clients.

The word Adirondack refers to the mountain range located in the northeast-ern part of New York. With vast forests, lush meadows, mountain lakes, and rushing streams, the land possessed a mystique and beauty that attracted exploration and settlement. Those who became acquainted with the grandeur of the terrain

and the challenges of climate were the earliest “designers,” introducing the Adirondack style...wrapping the allure of the wilderness in a warm and rustic refinement.

The smells, sounds and rustic textures that abound in the wilderness inspired the designs of the homes. In addition, the climate with its snowy winters and wet summers had an effect on the build-ings and furniture styles. The first Adirondack camps grew out of a hunger for unspoiled nature and the privacy that the woods offered. They were rough and used the surrounding materials that were readily available, suiting designs to use and situation.

Deliberate choices in the building site, materials, and the imaginative incorporation of native designs are the hallmarks of this Great Camp style. In the last two centuries, the Adirondack style has spread from New York to the Rocky Mountains. It has come to be known as Nature’s Art, a compilation of wooded privacy using the ready availability of indigenous materials supported by ample wealth.

Against this historical backdrop, Stone Creek Camp was created as an homage to creativity, post modern design and the unsurpassed beauty of Flathead Lake with the mountains and streams that nourish its shores.

Creek Camp. One must be on the property and walk the land to understand how it stands

Amid 15 forested acres on Flathead Lake lies Stone Creek Camp, a post modern Adiron-dack style compound inspired by the great camps of New York’s Adirondack region and enhanced to meet modern sensibilities. With acute sensitivity to the land, the owner, ar-chitect and designer joined forces to create an eco-friendly and unique estate with 718 feet of Flathead Lake’s pristine and breathtaking shoreline and a large dock system.

Surrender to the spell of Stone Creek Camp...a timeless realm of comfort, beauty, and nature.To feel the power of Stone Creek, one must walk the grounds and drink in nature’s gifts.

AREA INFORMATIONBigfork…an uncommon place

Bigfork Village is nestled between two rivers at the north end of Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. Endless recreational opportunities await on 191 square miles of sparkling waters and the hundreds of hiking trails with abundant wildlife in the forests surrounding this gem of a lake. Often called “the banana belt” of Montana, the mild climate of Flathead Lake’s East Shore is ideal for growing the famous Flathead sweet cherries savored all over the world.

Bigfork’s story began over 100 years ago when it was a logging and farming community. The thick timber provided surrounding sawmills with lumber and produced over 600,000 railroad ties per year. Bigfork grew from the hardworking, entrepreneurial spirit of the adventuresome individuals who came west to make a life here. Today it is a unique and lovely village with a vibrant arts culture. Bigfork’s main street, Electric Avenue, was the first street to receive electricity from the small powerhouse still in operation today on the Swan River.

Today, Electric Avenue is home to extraordinary dining establishments, world class art galleries, artists-in-residence, and live theatre. In 2009, the Bigfork Playhouse celebrates 50 years of repertory theatre which has drawn audi-ences from around the globe. An evening at the theatre, preceded by a gourmet meal from one of Bigfork’s fine restaurants, is a treat to be remembered.

Minutes from Bigfork is Eagle Bend championship golf course and Eagle Bend Yacht Harbor and just east rise the mighty Swan Moun-tains with the Jewel Basin Hiking Area, and numerous high elevation lakes. Along the Swan River, much of the ruggedness that defines Montana can be found with a tremendous variety of game and a diverse ecology. The angler, hunter, hiker or nature lover will love exploring “the Swan.”

The greater Flathead Valley. . . is home not only to Flathead Lake and Bigfork, but also to abundant farm lands, a thriving equine com-munity, numerous golf courses, and two ski resorts. It is also the gateway to Glacier National Park. At the valley’s northern end is the town of Whitefish nestled on the shores of Whitefish Lake below the vast Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort. On the western shore of Flathead Lake is Lakeside, a boating community which also boasts the family-

friendly Blacktail Mountain Ski Area.

There are three Wilderness Areas proximate to the Flathead Valley: The Bob Marshall Wilderness and Great Bear Wilderness Areas to the east and the Mis-sion Mountain Wilderness Area to the south. The area abounds in excellent rec-reational opportunities, including hiking, fishing, swimming, boating, skiing, biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, kayaking, canoeing and hunting.

Drawn by the lifestyle, the valley is home to a wide range of professionals resulting

in excellent medical facilities, two newspapers, a community college, sports complexes, parks and all the amenities of more populous areas while retaining the openness and splendor of Big Sky Country.
