Great Little Cabin

This was a perfect place for our fishing trip. Location was great and the property is tucked away just enough, but convenient to the main highway for quick access. Would absolutely stay here again.

Intimate Homestead

A cute cabin right off the highway that had plenty of room for our family. We loved our stay and felt at home. There is only one bathroom with a shower so plan accordingly with multiple people. We’ll stay here again!

The cabin was great! Cute, vintage and very quiet. Everything was just as advertised. It was a little farther from Yellowstone than we had hoped but that is on us for not figuring it out sooner.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Howard

Host profile image
Our family was raised in this cabin and we are exited to share the cabin with others so they can experience the beautiful scenery and peaceful setting we enjoyed growing up there. Our dad and his family built the cabin themselves on the family farm that has been in the family for over 100 years.

Why they chose this property

The cabin sits in a quite, rural area with plenty of space between the cabin and the neighbors. From the cabin you have a beautiful view of the mountains, ranches and farms that are in the area. The Chester and Fall River Canal run through the property and often you will spot wildlife on the around the cabin.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is part of the family farm that has been in the family for 3 generations. The cabin was built by the Howard family and they were the only family to live in the cabin.
