This was the greatest place I’ve ever stayed, beautiful, the hosts were amazing and easy to communicate with, and the skiing was awesome! Gunna be my go to place for trips back to Discovery Ski resort.
Very nice property with beautiful views and tranquility. We needed an extra day due to the airlines and the owner was very accommodating to our predicament.
Wonderful place. They only things that would have made it better are a microwave and a stool to reach the very high bathroom sink (owners must be very tall!).
We’re in the process of buying acreage in the surrounding area. This was the perfect property for a quiet mind and body reset. We plan another visit in the near future. Thanks for everything!!
Enjoyed staying at the cabin again. And for the second year in a row we had extreme wx. Snowed four inches the first night and 79 degrees on the final day. Love the variety. Spectacular views. Wild game everywhere. Couldn't be better.
Great views! Would love to stay here again. Lil problem getting into the property with the gate but we figured it out. Pretty cabin and has almost all modern amenities
We absolutely loved the cabin. We kept joking that "glad we were all from Montana and that road up didn't phase us." The rooms were great. Everything we needed in the kitchen and a great home base for skiing at Discovery. What a gem!
The property and views were spectacular. It received 4 stars for cleanliness because of the abundant amount of flies- dead and alive. Another helpful thing would be if there was a blow dryer.
Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay!!! We definitely will come back!

Hi Amy - Thanks for your feedback. We will address your fly concerns. The hairdryer was located under the bathroom sink. Please reach out if you have future travel needs!
We enjoyed our stay at the newer cabin. It was well appointed, spacious, clean with 3 main bedrooms. The views can’t be beat and the quiet evenings watching the sun setting over the Philipsburg valley were a highlight of our stay. Lots of windows for lots of light and awesome views from all rooms.
Our host was very helpful on a few small questions we had. Be sure to walk or drive a bit further up the road to the historic ghost town of Granite.
Great cabin. Road to it can be difficult. Saw wx change between 30 and 77 degrees in five days, four inches of snow in May. Don't know why they don't have a microwave. Everything else is provided. Great views. Good beds. Very comfortable. Would stay there again.
This is such a beautiful cabin with extraordinary views! The cabin was fully stocked and very clean. My Family and I stayed 17 days in Montana and had an AMAZING time and the cabin was absolutely perfect for all our needs. We traveled to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Butte, Missoula, Anaconda etc... but there is something so charming and relaxing about returning to this property in Philipsburg that makes this property stand out! We look forward to returning to this property!
Our stay was amazing! It was a beautiful cabin and we had so much fun!
