Nestled at the base of Tom Miner Basin, the cabin offers privacy and impressive views of the Yellowstone River, Tom Miner Basin, & Paradise Valley. Close to blue ribbon fishing access points and many other destinations and 30 mins from Yellowstone National Park
Reclaimed log from a 1906 cabin and aged barn wood creates a rustic ambiance with modern touches. The owners, Drew & Ellen, have designed the cabin with local materials and worldly treasures to reflect their love of travel and appreciation for local traditions & history.
We welcome a wide range of guests looking for a rustic, traditional Montana log cabin experience. This cabin offers all that, along with enough modern amenities to provide you with an enjoyable and comfortable holiday.
The cabin comprises a large open-plan lounge, dining room, kitchen, and full bathroom downstairs. A stone fireplace separates the kitchen and living room areas. In the upstairs loft, there is a cozy bedroom and half bath.
The living area is spacious with comfy couches, blankets, distance sitting areas, and a 40" flat-screen smart TV for relaxing at night. There is an office area in the corner with a desk, chair, lamp, and wifi that can be accessed throughout the cabin. The library shelves contain a range of novels and magazines and books on Montana wildlife, nature, Yellowstone National Park, and other Southwest Montana outdoor adventures. There is a range of art displayed on the walls, including the owner's photos (for sale on request) and art from around the world. Rugs from India cover the reclaimed wooden floors. A taste of Montana tradition is provided by taxidermied trout and a found elk skull and antlers that Drew treated and mounted himself.
There is a kitchen with all the amenities needed to cook and serve simple meals, including a gas oven and stovetop, microwave, hand mixer, food processor, various-sized baking dishes, basic cutlery, utensils, plate ware, and a coffee maker. The island is a good space for cooking, and the wooden dining table faces floor-to-ceiling glass doors for views of Tom Miner Basin and Yankee Jim Canyon. The tile on the kitchen island, countertops, and backsplash are from Dolores, Hidalgo, Mexico.
Behind the kitchen is a full bathroom with a claw-foot tub and rain-head shower. The stairs lead to the main bedroom in the cozy loft with a king bed and half bath.
For relaxing evenings, you can utilize the gas grill and eat at the outdoor table or sit in an Adirondack chair or one of the swinging benches on the wooden porches. You can choose your view from the various decks and porches: out towards Tom Miner Basin, Dome Mountain, the Yellowstone River Valley, Absaroka Mountains, or the Yellowstone River.
We do not have air conditioning, but we have fans, screened doors and windows, and blinds on all our windows. You can use these technologies in combination with each other to keep the cabin at a comfortable temperature. We provide information on how to do this if it is not something you are familiar with.
While we have screens, pest mitigations, and ensure the highest cleaning standards, you are in a log cabin in Montana, and in every season, you may encounter the odd insect inside and out.
If you want to stay in a beautiful log cabin with enough modern amenities to provide a fun and comfortable experience, we welcome you to our cabin in one of the most beautiful areas in the USA. If you are looking for a different kind of experience, something more like a higher-end hotel suite or housing, we recommend you look for accommodations built in a more modern style with modern materials.
