Houseboat Living - Any people live on house boats on Montana?

by Tim
(Kalispel, Montana)

Is there any houseboat living, or people who live on house boats in Montana or nearby? I'm looking for information on house boat living year round preferably on Flathead Lake, Montana.

My questions are, is it possible, and is it legal? I know it is bitter cold, but I need or want to be near my family and on water. I am a stage IV cancer patient, and am trying to enjoy all that I possibly can.

Thanks for any and all information, Tim from Montana

Well Tim, sorry to hear about your stage IV cancer, but welcome to the community, and congratulations on your decision to live on a houseboat.

At the present moment, I don't have any answers to give you on whether it's legal in the state of Montana, yet I do know that everything is possible.

Considering the cold climate, it won't be easy, yet with the proper plan, house boat living is definitely do-able :)
