Experience Montana’s Swan Valley
Discover the Rocky Mountains of western Montana from this rustic log cabin, perfectly located in the heart of the Swan Valley. From your porch, take in sweeping views of the Swan Range and the Bob Marshall Wilderness to the east, and the Mission Mountains Wilderness to the west.
Wildlife & Setting
The cabin overlooks a spring-fed pond and wetlands, home to elk, moose, deer, native trout, ducks, geese, great blue herons, and the occasional frog chorus. Grizzlies and black bears also roam the surrounding wilderness, adding to the authentic Montana experience. With dozens of pristine lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and mountain trails nearby, you’ll have endless opportunities for exploration.
Outdoor Recreation
Holland Lake is just six miles away—ideal for hiking to waterfalls, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, horseback riding, or boating. After a day outside, stop by a local watering hole for a Montana brew. In every season, there are adventures to choose from: fly-fishing the Swan River, mountain biking, huckleberry picking, cross-country skiing, hunting, snowmobiling, or heading deeper into the Bob Marshall and Mission Mountains Wilderness areas.
A scenic drive 45 minutes north past Swan Lake leads to Bigfork, a lively town on Flathead Lake with art galleries, breweries, boutiques, music and theater festivals, and lake tours. Glacier National Park and Whitefish Ski Resort are about 1.5 hours to the north, while Seeley Lake—25 minutes south—offers even more recreation, from waterskiing and golfing to birdwatching and holiday festivities.
Comfort & Amenities
Inside, unwind in the cozy living room with log and leather furniture beneath vaulted ceilings, warmed by a wood stove and fireplace. Outside, gather around the firepit under the stars to share stories or roast s’mores.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook a hearty mountain meal, with seating for six at the dining table plus counter space. Prefer being outdoors? Fire up the charcoal grill and enjoy the picnic tables on site.
