Thank you for staying at the cabin! Hope to see you again on your next trip to Montana.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! The location was perfect for adventuring in the area during the day and coming back to relax during the evening. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the birds and watching the ever-changing skies over Montana. We loved the peace and privacy of this cabin. We will definitely stay again!

Breathtaking vacation in mountain cabin perfection!
This cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of five, plus two dogs. Every amenity exceeded expectations, host communication was thorough and prompt, and everything was clean, clean, clean! Secluded but accessible location made exploring fun, with reasonable proximity to Bozeman, Yellowstone and so much more. We hope to return here again and again!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was plenty big enough for the 4 of us (and 2 dogs) and we appreaciated all the extra little comforts that were available: hair dryers, plenty of kitchen gear for cooking, 2 grills, plenty of outside seating for dinner, nice linens and towels, 2.5 baths, etc. We'll definately go back!

This is a beautiful place. Very remote. We enjoyed the stay completely. The location allowed for us to see many things in the general area besides Yellowstone. We would recommend this site to anyone looking to stay in a secluded, quiet place with many tourist options nearby.

Amazing property and cabin. Cabin is perfect sized, has everything you need, very clean and in immaculate shape. The property is beautiful, nestled in the trees, plenty of shade, all you hear is the wind blowing through the trees. Would definitely stay again. We loved everything about it.

We loved our stay at the cabin as it was precisely what we wanted; a bit off the beaten path and not right in the mix. Everything was exactly as listed, the cabin was clean, easy to navigate and right in the wilderness. We look forward to our return

The house was fantastic! Much nicer than the pictures even showed. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The property was gorgeous too. We had such a great time we’re already thinking about coming back in warmer weather.

Gorgeous Mountain Hideaway
My husband and I spent 5 nights here and we loved it! The cabin had everything we needed to have a restful and peaceful vacation. Downtown Bozeman was a quick drive so we were able to have lunch in town and dinner at home with a warm fire. The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating. I've already booked a week in July because I am definitely coming back in the summer! Thanks VRBO and Martha!
Nice retreat my husband’s 1st time to Bozeman. we are both outdoors folks I’m happy he fell in lov
We are both outdoors folks I’m happy he fell in love w/Bozeman & Montana lookin for a 2nd property. My old territory been there many times enjoyed being outside of Bozeman but not far enough to get back to town if you need it!!!
Thx Martha
We absolutely loved this cabin. Nice and secluded yet still close to so many things to do. We sat outside every morning and listened to the Elk bugle. We saw a few off the back porch and on the drive. Close enough to Old Faithful, tubing and hiking. All the amenities you could ever need to stay in, cook or grill and relax to the Sonos sound system. Wish we could have stayed a few more days! Hopefully we can make it back.

Thank you for staying at the cabin. We hope to see you on your next trip to Montana.
The cabin was a perfectly delightful place. The setting is tranquil and so peaceful. The logs and stone walls are a work of art. It is a cabin, but it has all of the conveniences of a house. The kitchen is well equipped. It was a wonderful touch to have basics like olive oil, some spices, mustard, ketchup and other food items. It is an easy drive to Bozeman from the cabin. We were there in October and the fall colors were outstanding. We walked up the trail in back of the cabin and enjoyed the view over the valley.
I highly recommend this property!

Thank you so much for staying at the cabin. I'm so happy you could enjoy yourselves. I hope to see you on your next trip to MT.
We stayed for a month, August 2024. Nice cabin, in a beautiful area. It's fairly easy to get to (unlike some mountain cabins). We had moose, bear, and deer visits. Easy to get to Bozeman or Livingston within 15 minutes.
Cabin and rooms are on the small side, for a couple it's fine, I could see for a family it could get tight. Could use some updated furniture. But these are minor nitpicks for what was a wonderful stay.
Host was always responsive. We never had any issues while we were there. We loved Montana (our first visit), and this cabin.

Thank you so much for staying at the cabin. I hope to see you on your next trip to Montana!
While you feel you are in a remote section of Montana on the side of a mountain it is amazing to be able to drive down to Bozeman or Livingston in less than thirty minutes.
The house is amazing. It was plenty hot during our stay but we opened the windows at night and then closed them in the morning trapping the cool night air inside. That worked well. Logs are a great type of insulation.
The cabin is amazing and very well laid out. We really didn't want to leave.

Valley drive out of town and cabin setting on hillside was impressive especially the wildlife viewing. Bozeman was still very accessible and Yellowstone was an easy drive.
However, the stinky well water was overwhelming; the smell was not conducive to doing laundry. The artwork was risque and not family friendly; more than suggestive and not fitting for a peaceful woodlands setting.

Thank you very much for staying with us! The cabin is on a well the same as all the properties in the area. The home has a whole house water filtration system and also a separate filter system for drinking water. We also always have bottled water in the fridge in case guests dont care for well water. As for the art, isnt it always subjective and everyone has a different style? I wish you would have reached out during the stay about the water, I could have had Culligan (who maintains all the water filtration equipment) up to check it out. Safe travels wherever your next adventure takes you.
This was our 2nd time staying in this cabin and it did not disappoint. Our group included my husband, his sister, and our 2 Golden Retrievers. The cabin has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We had several wildlife encounters that were a thrill. We had a small black bear cross the driveway in front of us as well as a beautiful red weasel, and a herd of elk grazed in the pasture below the cabin one evening.
The location was perfect for our adventures. We took a boat tour at the Gates of the Mountains, rented a raft and floated down the Yellowstone, drove to Old Faithful, went horseback riding near Gardiner, toured Big Sky, Livingston, and Bozeman, went to the Three Forks park, drove through Ted Turner's ranch and viewed the bison, and enjoyed several hikes.
We spent our evenings grilling and chilling.
Thanks for letting us share this wonderful cabin!

Thank you so much for staying at the cabin for a second time. I'm so happy that you and your family enjoyed your vacation and you were able to see wildlife while you were here. I hope to see you again on your next trip to Montana.
I’ll start by saying I LOVED the location and seclusion of this cabin. The host was friendly and responsive. The well water does stink, but it’s not unusual for remotely located cabins, and they did provide plenty of bottled water for drinking. What I didn’t love were the flies. Not that there were flies attacking us during our stay, but when we first checked in, I counted 12 dead flies in the upstairs bathroom. Each day the count got higher, and across the floor upstairs, I counted over 100 dead flies. We eventually moved to the downstairs bedroom, as walking around barefoot around all the dead flies was rather off putting.

Thank you for staying at the cabin. I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your recent stay. I am truly sorry to hear that flies affected your comfort and enjoyment. Unfortunately, the rural setting can sometimes lead to seasonal pest issues, but I recognize that this should not have impacted your experience. I am currently working with a pest control service to ensure that this issue is resolved promptly and effectively.
