Perfect Quiet Family Time

We came to spend time with family over the Thanksgiving Break, and we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of The Heart of BigHole! We had everything we needed; the friendly folks of Melrose welcomed us; the host communicated helpful information in a timely manner, AND we even had a group of Christmas Carollers sing us a song due to being in the right place at the right time!

Family getaway

It was the perfect place to unwind and re connect with family. The kids had the best time and did not miss not having electronics.

Great Fishing Cabin

Brian was great to work with. We decided to leave our home early and got to the cabin prior to scheduled check in. Brian was welcoming and allowed access to the property. The mud room is perfect to hang waders and your gear. Kitchen is great to cook meals. The property is plenty big to park your drift boat with your truck. Only thing was that I thought the listing said wifi but there was no internet. Admittedly, I could be wrong and perhaps misread. So we walked over to the bar to watch basketball and hockey. Hitching Post is a great place for a meal and a beer. Just a quick walk from the place. What was not discussed in the listing is Brian's amazing CD collection. Every possible genre and some classics can be found. In summation, great fishing cabin. Brian is a great and friendly host. I'd go back the next time in there to fish the Big Hole.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Connelly

Just a guy who fell in love with the Big Hole when I moved to Montana back in 2006. I found this great little cabin that a buddy and I bought together in 2016. Now I'm the sole owner and spend time down there whenever I can, which is why you'll find all of hunting season blocked.

Why they chose this property

Melrose is a great spot to get away, turn off your cell phone and just be in it. You can hear the coyotes just outside town most nights and see a billion stars.
