The host Sandy and Paul were very nice and accommodating. The communication with them was easy and the check in process was just as easy. This was our second stay at this property, we originally stayed at the main house before Sandy and Paul owed the property, the setting on the river is simply exceptional.The cabin has everything that you would need (coffee, creamer, sweetener, snacks, trail mix, bear spray to list a few) , it very clean and cozy. It is perfect for a couple and young kids due to the loft.Can wait to come back.

Small slice of heaven

This was our first time coming to Montana but definitely not our last. If you're looking for peace, nature, and beauty look no further! I cannot say enough great things about this property and the owners. We spent 2 days just hanging out and exploring around the property. Our teenage daughter loved the loft area and ample outdoor seating to read and draw. My husband loved being able to fish 20 feet from the door. I loved watching the squirrels and chipmunks.

Fantastic view but meager accomodations

The second bedroom is an attic space accessible via tiny stairs up a steep slope into a virtual crawl space - children could navigate the plywood floor (sheer carpet cover) on their knees while ducking head toward the mattresses This is a loft/attic which opens to the downstairs 100% - The living space is probably 200 square feet and the water heater did not support more than 5-7 minutes of hot water The full sized bed in bedroom was nice The loveseat in front room opens to small bed If your party is small and you don't mind the smaller/camplike experience, the view and riverfront location is everything. The hot tub is on the owners deck which is very close to this "cottage" - zero privacy

I am sorry it wasn't what you thought. Since you only listed 2 adults I didn't think you were even going to use the loft. You invited your son without even letting me know. The living space is actually 400 sqft, with the loft it is about 500 sqft. I tried contacting VRBO to change the listing to read loft instead of bedroom but that is not an option. I do have good photos showing that it is a loft. Your right about the water heater it is very small. Since we just purchased this property we are still learning about it and that maybe something we will upgrade down the road. We will also look into a privacy fence on the deck to give you more privacy.

Our stay was absolutely amazing! Sandy and her family were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and genuinely wonderful hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel right at home.The property itself was peaceful, beautiful, and truly surreal. The perfect place to relax and unwind. We loved every minute of our stay and couldn't have asked for a better experience.We absolutely plan on coming back and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, unforgettable getaway. Thank you, Sandy and family, for such a memorable stay!
