About this property

Madison River Retreat • 30 Min to Yellowstone & Minutes to Madison River Fishing

Escape to this peaceful cabin with sweeping views of the Gravelly Mountains and Madison Valley, offering a quiet Montana retreat just 30 minutes from Yellowstone National Park. Located only minutes from the legendary Madison River, this is an ideal base for world-class fly fishing, wildlife viewing, and exploring southwest Montana’s lakes, trails, and scenic backroads. Thoughtfully set up for Yellowstone visitors and fishing guests alike, the cabin includes convenient outdoor hooks for gear and space to hang and dry waders after a day on the water.

After a full day exploring the region, return to expansive decks perfect for sunset views, stargazing, and taking in the stillness of the valley—far from the crowds but close to everything that matters. By day, explore Yellowstone and the Madison River; by night, unwind in complete Montana quiet.

Set on 20 private acres, this spacious retreat features a large open-plan layout with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 lofts. Full-length decks run along both sides of the cabin, offering sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valley.

The home is well-suited for families and friend groups. The primary suite includes a king bed, walk-in closet, and private bath with a shower/tub combo. One bedroom offers a queen bed, and another includes two twin beds. In addition, there are two loft sleeping areas—one with a full bed, and another with a full and queen bed.

A large stone fireplace anchors the living room, and a wood-burning stove adds warmth to the kitchen and dining area. Firewood can be purchased at local grocery stores and gas stations.

A separate caretaker’s residence is adjacent to the cabin but fully detached. Assistance is available if needed by phone or in person, while still ensuring complete privacy during your stay.

great cabin in perfect location

cabin was clean, as described and the perfect location for our vacation. We were close enough to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons but away from the crowds and able to spend time in other more low key areas of Montana. Beautiful views and plenty of room for 3 adults and 3 teenagers.

Nestled in a beautiful valley !

Quiet, relaxing and adequate space for a large group! A spacious kitchen with a big dining table and windows looking at the night mountains as the backdrop … A little bit of a drive from West Yellowstone entrance but the scenery at this place more than makes up for it. We had a good family time and will take back warm memories.

Memorable stay

The cabin was amazing and the Ben his wife were too. The views were astounding. The cabin sat in a prairie of sage, with exceptional views of the mountains just beyond. We really appreciated the input from Ben in advance and his attention when requested. It was a short and enjoyable 30 minutes drive to Yellowstone. Fabulous visit.

Gem in the Mountains

Family of 5 used this place as a home base for our weeklong exploration of Yellowstone. Conveniently located only 25 minutes from West Yellowstone entrance the cabin had all the amenities needed to cook our meals and prepare for the next days adventure. Plenty of room, could comfortably handle 10 adults. The views from the front and back porch were amazing and we especially liked the solitude to enjoy away from the crowds of Yellowstone. Ben was available at all times if needed which was nice. Highly recommend this place if you want privacy and love the outdoors! Will definitely book again next time we are here.

Spacious well-stocked cabin

Wow! Beautiful location, the views from all rooms and porches were breathtaking! I cant say enough about the space, ability to wash/dry clothes, cook, extras such as spices, toilet paper, paper towels, games, air freshner etc were extras we didnt expect. Thank you! We did use the grill one night and it was very nice. Beds were comfortable. Hot water use as advertised: we took turns getting showers (which did slow us down with 5 getting showers after long hikes) the hot water had a combination (of sorts) especially for master bathroom, once we nailed that it was always hot and worked well. The owner instructions left were helpful. Easy to comminicate with during our stay. No major problems. Only thing that we would suggest to the owner is to trim grass shorter near house/steps so you could see where the praire dog holes were more easily and avoid stepping in holes. We would definitely stay here again and recommend.

Fishing Trip

Convenient location to fishing the Madison River, Hepgen and Henry's Lakes. The cabin is out on a prairie that is very private and quiet. There were a few antelope around each day. Communication with the owner was very easy and they were very proactive in addressing our needs. We would stay there again.

Great cabin with mountain views, wildlife and big sky

Very clean and comfortable cabin. Had everything we needed, plus right outside the windows gorgeous sunsets, antelopes, prairie dogs and starry skies where you can see the milky way. Perfect place for family meals and relaxing after a day of outdoor adventures. We'd definitely stay here again.

If you are looking for views of mountains, this is the place. Magnificent! The cabin is spacious with plenty of room for bodies. Lots of sleeping room with one loft perfect for kids to climb a ladder. One thing I would take into consideration with a larger group than 6, is the bathroom/shower situation. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it had everything we needed.

Beautiful, private and well appointed home with spectacular sunrises and sunsets! The home was more than accommodating for our family of 5.

Great Montana Getaway

We were looking for a Montana getaway close enough to Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, and even Big Sky, but far enough out that we could enjoy nature and the wilderness. This cabin was just perfect for that. Spacious and homey, equipped for whatever you might need, and an easy drive to West Yellowstone, we felt at home instantly and would go back in a heartbeat. The completely dark night sky alone -- breathtaking views of planets and the Milky Way -- would be reason enough to return. And Ben was friendly, kind, and hospitable, always quick to communicate and answer questions. He made us feel at home even before we arrived.

Large cabin for Yellowtone visit

Ben was a great host. He was quick to respond to our communication. The house is truly in the middle of nowhere in Montana and we did see antelope and ground squirrels as well as fabulous views around the house. We were not aware that someone lives in a home about 100 feet away from the rental cabin, so know that you won't be completely isolated from other people if that's your desire. However, having someone next door did come in handy when we discovered mice scurrying about the house our first night there. Ben was quick to have them bring traps and peanut butter to us. He had mentioned field mice in the check-in instructions, but we did not realize that they would be running throughout the house (upstairs and down) every night of our stay. Some of the children were upset by their presence. Thankfully, we had a plastic bin to put some of our food in, but it was a hassle leaving the rest of our food and many of our things in our van during the entire stay. It would have been nice to have a mouse proof storage area in the home for our food. On the plus side, we did catch a mouse in the trap in our room. Overall, we would recommend the house, but would advise anyone considering renting the home to communicate with Ben beforehand and find out if mice still roam around the house.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 July 2021
I strive to provide an exceptionally clean, comfortable, spacious, and private rental experience, and I would encourage anyone with concerns to read the nearly four dozen highly rated reviews of my property that can be found on the other major vacation rental site. I am surprised by this review, and I suspect that there may have been some misunderstandings in this instance. Log cabins in Montana are subject to small field mice being attracted to food if left unattended out in the open on tables or countertops, which can happen with large groups. The refrigerator and upper cabinets in the kitchen are, however, completely mouse-proof, and we rarely have issues. I am always glad to address any concerns or questions, and I do all that I can to ensure a fantastic vacation experience for every guest.
