First trip to Montana!

The property was just gorgeous and the cabin was perfect! The images and descriptions gave us a solid idea of what to expect from this semi-rustic experience. Beautiful views and loads of wildlife. Pay heed to the need for 4WD for ingress and egress. The road is rough but plenty safe.

Remote is an understatement. This cabin sits on a very scenic part of the Deerborn River. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and very much appreciated the heads up we received about getting to the location. And no cell service or internet made the sty even better. Can’t wait to return.

Dearborn River Cabin

Awesome trip - off the grid cabin in a beautiful valley on the Dearborn River. Even though we weren’t at high season, we caught fish every day. If you enjoy fishing and the great outdoors and want some time to enjoy life in the moment, this cabin will be great for you.

Heaven on Earth

After our first visit to Two Feathers two years ago and life throwing us lots of curveballs this past year, my husband and I knew we could get the R&R we needed here. We were able to disconnect from the world and reconnect with ourselves, each other and nature, and this is the perfect place to do that! We’ve traveled a good bit in our lives, and this is by far our very favorite destination. We’ll be daydreaming of Two Feathers until we return. Thankful we get to enjoy this piece of heaven on Earth!

Off the Grid Paradise!

There are not enough stars to show how great this place is!! Our Host Ruth was great to work with and did all she could to make this a great vacation. The mountain views, the wildlife, the river in front of the property and last but not least....the front porch, which we sat on and just looked at the mountains and river every morning and night. This made this one of the best vacations ever. We had a family of deer, a family of wild turkeys, rabbits, birds and more come right in the front of the property to enjoy each day. This place is not near a big city and a small town is about 30 minutes away, so if you want to unplug, you will enjoy the peace & quiet. Enjoy!

Best Vaction Ever

This property is all it says it is and more. The property manager was great. I loved her. I absolutely loved everything about this property. We booked this trip for our 12-year-old who is an avid fisherman and wanted to fly fish in Montana. He was in heaven. I can't express how happy we all were but for me the photography opportunities were everywhere. Saturday, we spent the entire day at the river. My son caught 3 trout and hundreds of crawdads. We even got to meet the neighbors, the owner's brother and friend Bob, came canoeing down the river. It was great. I am already planning my next trip. I really want to bring my parents and my adult kids. A big thank you for Ruth and her husband for sharing their property with us. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Dreamy

To say that we enjoyed our stay is quite an understatement. Even writing this review, I'm having difficulty finding the right words to describe how amazing this place is and how much we enjoyed our stay. We are outdoorsy and love to tent camp, but we brought my dad on this trip and thought a little modern comfort would go a long way. It was the perfect combination of "off-grid" and comforts of home. The only thing that would have made our trip better is getting to stay longer! The cabin had plenty of seating and sleeping spaces; we never felt crowded. There were plenty of towels, dishes, and cookware. The cabin was clean and linens were fresh. The kids slept on the porch every night underneath the stars. We were all able to enjoy the peace around us and reconnect without modern technologies interfering. Every day we walked down to the river to fish, swim, and jump off rocks ( even we parents). The owners and property manager were incredibly accomodating and communicative. This stay/experience is probably THE best we've ever had through VRBO. We will definitely be back as many times as we can.

Nature was our only company

We are 74, married 52 years. Our anniversary trip. Most of our time was spent on deck with view of the river, just watching the skies, the variety of landscapes and conversing with each other. No company, not even a sighting of another person. Nobody “floated by” either. Family of Deer, one coyote, eagles, ducks. We took two hikes; one day to the west from shore up and back north to the top. It was a rugged steep hike up the hills on the property to great heights and views. Another day to the east, on the property along And also away from the river, more gentle slopes, lovely views. Later, in the river, we dog paddled around and around the swimming hole, laughing with exhilaration at our ability to tolerate the cool waters - Refreshing! Beach booties and crocks were both helpful for in water and dry pair at shore at exit point. Towels were left waiting on shore. Our last night was filled with stars, a few shooting stars, and satellites. 2 hours lying on our backs on the picnic table in sweatshirts and pants. The Wind came and went, low-roaring through the trees, strong gusts, soft breezes and eerie stillness in between. Although the very distant sound of traffic from the highway reached our ears in the day, there were times, in the night, when the silence was overwhelming. Loved Being Here!

Two Feathers Lodge

Wow! This is the first time I have ever done a review for anything on line but decided that this place was so special that it deserved same. The cabin is beautiful, spotlessly clean and well appointed. We were a bit worried about the fact that there isn't a hook up to electricity but we never even noticed any difference with the solar and wind power and we were there for an entire week. The 72 acre property is absolutely gorgeous and if you love to fly fish, than this is where you need to stay. We did a guided day trip on the Missouri, which exceeded our expectations, and the fly shops in Craig only 30 minutes away so convenient. But you can wade outside your door on the Dearborn River and catch rainbows and browns all day long. Nice 15 to 17 inchers! And then each evening we sat on the porch and watched the mule deer, whitetails, eagles and hawks. The owners went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect and that we had everything we needed. They made you feel welcome from the first phone conversation. My husband has declared this our favorite place to stay in Montana and next year we are bringing two of our children because there are so many things for them to do besides the fantastic fly fishing. Horsback riding, hiking, kayaking etc... The cabin can easily accomadate a family of four. Thank you Two Feathers Lodge for helping us have an extremely fun and relaxing vacation!

Everything you think it is...and more...

Everything that is said about this property is true. It is gorgeous, well-maintained, the manager is responsive, as are the owners. The road in and out of the property is tough - no lie. Even being told it was a difficult drive in and that a AWD or 4WD vehicle is required to get there, I was still not fully prepared for the final hill up and down into the property. It is steep and not for the faint of heart if you're not used to driving on mountain roads. You are completely disconnected once you're on the property; no cell phone coverage and no WiFi, so be prepared to completely unplug. However, if you have an iPhone, you can send text messages via Satellite (an option I didn't know my phone had until I was there).The lighting in the cabin is sparse and at night gets pretty dark. There is one light in the kitchen and an overhead light hanging from the ceiling for the living room area.The property and cabin are gorgeous. The Dearborn River is a short downhill walk away and we caught some baby rainbow trout swimming through - the largest maybe 10 inches.It's a very peaceful, serene, unplugged, out-of-the-way retreat.

Wonderful location

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this property. Words can not accurately describe the peacefulness of this property. With the mountain setting back into the Montana wilderness it is perfect for those wanting to get away from all the business of internet and cell phones. We hiked the property, fished in in the river. It was low but we were still able to find a few spots that had trout. This is one VBRO we would book another stay. We like to chose different locations to return to but this one is so wonderful we would book a return trip.

Stay in Two Feathers Lodge, August 8 to 14, 2022

I stayed in this cabin on the Dearborn with my two sisters for 6 days. To say it was a dream holiday would be an understatement. The cabin is magnificently positioned amongst volcanic outcrops and ponderosa pines, with a beautiful view of the river and neighboring slopes. A long track takes you down to the emerald Dearborn River and one of the best swimming holes I have had the pleasure of dipping into, as big as an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The cabin is well equipped with most mod cons, and a deck wraps around the side and front to allow you to enjoy the view while sipping coffee in the morning or a beer in the evening. I slept on this deck each night, admiring the star-studded sky and being greeted each morning by a family of curious deer. We also saw a family of turkeys crossing the field each morning, as well as hummingbirds, eagles, ospreys, and scampering chipmunks. an idyllic setting. The road to the cabin is rugged, with potholes and ruts, and the last 100 yards are a steep incline followed by an equally steep decline; so an all-wheel vehicle is needed. But once you familiarize yourself with the road in, you find that the cabin is only 30 minutes from the Interstate, so it is well positioned for sight-seeing. We spent time in Great Falls and Fort Benton; we hiked the upper Dearborn (Devil's Glen), and attended a rodeo in Cascade (the mutton bustin' was hilarious!). I would highly recommend this cabin for any family or group that love the outdoors and are looking for a quiet respite. Chris Stevens, Dublin, Ireland

About the host

Hosted by Ruth, John and Nick Sechena

Host profile image
John and Ruth Sechena live in Seattle, WA. John was born in Great Falls, MT and his heart is still there. We come home to Montana for 2 or 4 weeks a year; it keeps us sane.

Why they chose this property

We know the Dearborn.

Born & raised in Montana, John and his 2 brothers have floated and fished the Dearborn since the early 70's. One brother bought 33 acres and Grandma brought 28 acres (for the grandkids) just one river bend up from our log cabin & made it possible for all of our kids to swim, fish, hike and bike there. Now, as young adults, their fond memories keep drawing them back.

What makes this property unique

You don't have to leave the property to have a great time. Get up, catch breakfast, take a swim in some really beautiful swimming holes.

Hike or bike the property. Put your boat/floation device in right from the property and float to the Missouri River or put in at Hwy 287 (up river) and enjoy an incredibly scenic all day float..

BBQ dinner on the spacious deck with friends & family; watch local wildlife cross the meadow in front of you on their way to the river; hear all of natures sounds because it's quiet.
