About the host

Hi! We’re a Montana family lucky enough to have called this beautiful cabin—and the surrounding Wise River valley—our home away from home for generations. The Tommy James Place was built by our father and a group of close friends in 1978 for a family friend named Pat. After his passing, our father inherited the cabin, and eventually, it came to us. We named it in memory of our brother, Tommy, whose spirit still lives in every corner of the property.
Our family has deep roots in Montana, especially in the auto industry, which you’ll see reflected in the cabin’s decor. From our grandmother’s bookkeeping days in the 1950s to our dad’s time as a mechanic and GM dealer, this place is filled with reminders of our hard-working heritage and the memories we’ve built together.
We love doing all the things this incredible area offers—fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, skiing, hunting, and just soaking up the peace and beauty of the mountains. The cabin is located directly on the Pioneer Mountain Scenic Byway, a stunning drive through the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. It’s also near the route of the Continental Divide Trail, so hikers and bikers often pass through the area in search of big skies and quiet trails.
This cabin has always been our base camp for adventure and re-connection, and now we’re honored to share it with you. Whether you're looking for solitude, outdoor adventure, or meaningful time with loved ones, we hope The Tommy James Place becomes part of your own story, too.
