"Check out our Video" The link is above the main picture on the left.
Our custom built, 1600 sf cabin, which we affectionately refer to as "The Fishing Shack", was completed in the fall of 2008. It is located on the Madison River, known for its majestic beauty and world class fly fishing. The cabin is a gorgeous, 30 minute drive to the entrance of Yellowstone National Park and about an hour to the winter hot spot, Big Sky Ski Resort. With its fabulous location, as well as reclaimed barnwood floors, custom kitchen, 3 flat screen TVs, a Jotul wood-burning stove, and floor to ceiling windows, it is a magical vacation spot certain to deliver year round fun.
The master suite has a queen bed with pillow top mattress, flat screen TV, French doors opening to a 5 person Hot Tub overlooking the river, and a custom built pebble shower with dual shower heads (including a rain head). There are two bedrooms upstairs, each with log bunk beds (twin on top & queen below). Open the windows and let the smell of the mountains and the sound of the river lull you to sleep. The open loft has a cozy seating area, a third flat screen TV with DVD player, and Game Cube system for the kids (and the kids at heart). Directly on the river, you will find a large fire pit perfect for staying warm and making S'mores while watching the fishermen in your family catch that big brown just feet away.
Our cabin is located 30 minutes from Ennis and 30 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It is situated in a friendly residential community with about six other homes and delightful neighbors. It is across the river from a Forest Service campground and a short walk to the world famous "Grizzly Bar & Grill" (you must sample their delightful wine selection).
Our location is perfect for year round Montana fun and adventure. In the winter, spend your days skiing the famed slopes of Big Sky Ski Resort, snowmobiling in West Yellowstone, cross country skiing on miles of pristine trails, watching the bald eagles soar above the river while soaking in the jacuzzi, or simply enjoying the beauty of the Madison while curled up with a good book by the wood burning stove. Fill the long summer days with activities such as fishing from the property, floating the Madison, exploring Yellowstone National Park, hiking beautiful mountain trails, horseback riding, listening to live music while sipping local wines and soaking in the Norris Hot Springs, experiencing an authentic Montana rodeo or riding the antique railway in historic Virginia City.
We hope you enjoy our cabin as much as we do, and we look forward to sharing the beauty of Montana with you.

BEST TRIP EVER!!!

WOW, what a house with the most incredible view. The view alone took our breath away! We had the great pleasure of staying here for a ten day honeymoon and everything inside/outside the house more than met our expectations. The owner, Dave, was friendly as well as incredibly helpful. Fishing was fun, house picture perfect, and every detail thought of for a spectacular vacation. Great location to reach Yellowstone every day of our stay. We even traveled down to Teton National Park, viewed the whole park, stopped in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and came back up to the fishing shack in one day. My husband has never had the pleasure of renting a vacation home, and the fishing shack has more than convinced him that renting is the only way to go for all future vacations. My husband and I will never forget what joy this house brought us on our special honeymoon.

This amazing home was far beyond my expectations. I short 30 minute drive from Yellowstone....it was a pleasure to come home to each and every night and soak our tired bodies in the jacuzzi or listen to the water as we relaxed on the deck. The pictures and video are great but in person this house will blow you away!!!! Perfection!!! I don't have enough words to say how lucky we were to have found Dave and his wonderful rental!!! Hope to return again in a few years!!! (ohhhh...and Yellowstone was AMAZING too!!! what a great trip!) Rachel Orlando, Fl

We stayed in this beautiful cabin from May 30th - June 6th, 2011. The cabin exceeded our expectations! All accomodations were more than comfortable and a minor issue with the garbage pick up was resolved within hours with one quick phone call. The 30 minute drive to Yellowstone was so scenic that it was worth every minute. Every day, we seemed to see different wildlife. This was truly a trip of a lifetime! We had 8 people with us ranging in age from 11 to 62 years old and we all had a wonderful time! I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to experience the beautiful Montana/Wyoming countryside. The view from the deck was heaven sent. It was so nice to spend mornings and evenings with coffee and the beautiful view. We spent many days in Yellowstone but also spent one day in West Yellowstone, Virginia City, and one night and day in Grand Teton. The cabin was a good distance for everything. The owner was very helpful in finding grocery stores and suggestions on what to do and where to go. We will forever remember this trip and hope to return one day soon!

We recently stayed at the fishing shack while on a trip to Yellowstone. The drive to Yellowstone is about 30 minutes away but well worth the drive. There are two different ways to get to Yellowstone, both of which are beautiful drives. The Fishing Shack is a great place to stay and I would definately stay here again. It is very well equiped and beautifully decorated. Even in June the weather was great, cool to cold all the time. Living in Alabama I was worried about no AC in June, but it was NOT need. Even the local neighbors made our visit more fun. If you have a GPS the coordinates are N44 55.824' W111 34.335.

A refreshing getaway in a beautiful location

This is a stunning, well-built home on a beautiful piece of riverfront property. Our family enjoys this retreat on a regular basis, and will continue to do so. The owners are exceptionally cordial and care about the quality of our stay, and the home really does feel like a home. It feels cozy but has an open floor plan and loft that gives our family lots of room for socializing and game playing. Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the Madison River is an evening ritual we never miss! We stay here as a base camp for fly fishing, hiking, and cross country skiing, and wouldn't even consider other nearby properties.

thank you very much for the use of your amazing vacation home. The house and the location were fantastic. We have rented a vacation house once before and it left much to be desired. Yours on the other hand was nicer than we imagined. So Thank You. We are already thinking about when we might be able to vacation there again. The interior of this house is amazing. All of the finishes and the attention to detail really made the house a joy to stay in. We used the hot tub several times and the fire pit too. We shared the house with another family, so we had four adults and four kids (3 and under) and we had enough room for everyone. The owners were very helpful and friendly in all of our pre-vacation coordination. We could not be happier with the house, and would recommend it to anyone. It was truly one of the highlights of our vacation.

We rented this "shack" for a family reunion. (Trust me, it is about as far from a shack as you could possibly get.) When we started looking, we wanted a place close to park activities, but one that would still give you the feeling of being on vacation in the mountains even when you were in for the night. This place is PERFECT! The pictures and video are great, but couldn't possibly capture the real beauth of this place. The cabin itself is comfortable and homey. We used the firepit by the Madison almost every night. We slept with the window open listening to the river! It was wonderful! The Stewarts are terrific "hosts". There was plenty of everything there and the information packet answers about any question you could think of before you ask. We would definitely recommend this cabin!

The cabin was a perfect touch to our great vacation to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. The cabin was about a 30 minute drive to get into the park, but it was perfect for our family to see the beautiful scenery on the way. We loved having the Madison River right in the backyard and the hot tub on the deck. We could not have asked for a more perfect home for our getaway!!

We rented the house for a week and what a great time we had!!! Everything was perfect (clean, well maintened and equipped). We really enjoyed watching the stars on the deck or by the fire pit, relaxing in the hot tub, and cooking good family dinners. The house is even nicer in real than on the pictures. The 30 minutes drive to Yellowstone Park is also really nice and worths it.
