Location: St. Regis, Clark Fork Valley, Montana, USA (60 min. to Missoula, 90 to Coeur D'Alene, 120 to Spokane) View Map
Accommodations: Log home/cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Sloway Cabin, a beautiful newer log home, sits on five acres of meadow and woods that are visited nightly by deer and sometimes by moose and elk. The Clark Fork River is a stone's throw--just across the dead-end gravel road.
One hour from Missoula and two from Spokane, Sloway Cabin has convenient access yet feels like another world. Please be sure to visit the online guestbook for comments from past guests.
Inside the Cabin the warmth of the log walls and the high vaulted ceiling create an immediate sense of peace and comfort. Nearly 1,300 sq. ft., the Cabin feels just right. Small enough to be cozy, but big enough for everyone. It's the perfect spot for celebrating a quiet anniversary or hosting a small family gathering.
Long summer days are for swimming, floating, and fishing the Clark Fork, St. Regis, and Flathead Rivers. To the west, wonderful hiking trails lead to alpine lakes along Montana/Idaho border. Mountain biking the old railroad bed on the Hiawatha Trail--over trestles and through the cool dark tunnels--is another favorite.
St. Regis, just 3 miles down the road, has great antiquing and golfing at Trestle Creek. An hour farther is Idaho's Silver Mountain Resort, with skiing, mountain biking, with a new and amazing surfing indoor water park.
After a fun-filled day you'll love hanging out on the Cabin's wrap-around porch. Log rockers invite you to savor the lingering warmth of the sun as you enjoy a cool drink, recount the day's adventures with friends and family, and watch the sun set over the mountains across the river.
Should you be able to come in the fall... lucky you! Crisp air, starry nights, and perhaps an evening bonfire. This is the season for more hiking and mountain biking, hunting, antique shopping, and enjoying Quinns Hot Springs.
Once the snow flies there's great skiing and snowboarding and at Lookout Pass, just 30 minutes from the Cabin. Lookout has tripled in size over the past five years and boasts some of the Northwest's earliest and best snow. Silver Mountain Resert is another 20 miles down the road. Not a downhiller? The surrounding National Forest has many hundred miles of trails for snowmobiling and cross country skiing. Or just enjoy a cozy time playing music, board games, reading, and connecting with friends and family.
No matter what you enjoy at Sloway Cabin the time will pass too quickly. But you're sure to leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and renewed.
Please note: the cabin is not suitable for young children--it's not child-proof and the loft railings and the stairway ballisters are too widely spaced (see photo). Guest dogs will be considered with adherence to the Cabin's pet policy; the cost is $15 per night per animal.
Please contact me for additional photos, more information about activities in the area, and copies of the rental and pet policies. Thanks!

Map & Owner's Profile
Beautiful Newer Log Home by the Clark Fork River
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose St. Regis
St. Regis and Sloway, in particular, are undiscovered parts of Western Montana. I love the Cabin's amazing log construction and peaceful setting by the Clark Fork River. Yet it's only an hour's drive from my home in Missoula. Most of Mineral County land has public access-- Forest Service, BLM, and Plum Creek. So there's great hiking, biking, hunting, and skiing close by.
The Unique Benefits at this Log home/cabin
There's so much to do near Sloway, but most people simply love hanging out and relaxing at the cabin, enjoying the peace and quiet. People use the cabin to reconnect with family, disconnect from the work-world, and generally have a wonderful time. It's the perfect place for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions.
Owned by Rose and Vern Gotcher, friendly folks and a great place for browsing beautiful antiques.
Oak and primitive Chinese furniture, restored and "as found." Lots of gardenware, including metal trellises, gates, and ornaments.
Swimming hole and boat launch for hand-carried craft. Open mid-May to mid-September.
Must be able to carry your boat up a steep band of rip-rap (boulders) about 50' up.
This is on the Flathead Indian Reservation; you'll need a tribal permit (available at most stores).
Owner's Map of St. Regis
Sloway Cabin was built by friends in 1999. When they decided to sell I was lucky enough to purchase the Cabin in 2006. It's such a treasure and quiet retreat. We love hanging out with friends, making campfires, working on the place, and the great nearby hiking and skiing. It's been very gratifying to share the Cabin and see the enjoyment and delight it brings to others. It seems to have become a special place to many folks, including a number of return guests.

WOW! Your home is absolutely beautiful and just what we needed for our little getaway. Your love for your cabin is evident in every detail and very welcoming. We knew from the moment we drove up that we had stumbled upon something great! It was too early in the year to head up any of the mountain lake trails, but we had fun exploring the river trail and local antique shops, and ended the day with a fabulous dinner at Quinns Hot Springs. Thank you for opening up your lovely home to strangers.
