About this property

Mountain Home in the Crazy Mountains with Vistas and Solitude

As the name suggests, SkyArbor Guest House is where the trees reach for sky and the mountains meet the plains. This edge region along the west slope of the Crazy Mountains supports abundant wildlife, and many trees and wildflowers adorn the cabin area.

A constant delight is the breathtaking panorama, with the Crazy Mountains rising up to the east, and the Bridger Mountains sweeping to the west. Sunrise and sunset can be spectacular, casting shadows across the foothills and rosy hues upon the mountains. The Big Belt Mountains are to the north, and looking south from the top of the property are the Beartooth, Absaroka, and Gallatin Mountains.

Living quarters include a large dining/kitchen/gathering area; a study/living area; main floor bedroom and main floor bathroom with shower; a separate sunroom/living area; one large bedroom loft with multiple bed capacity; and one smaller bedroom loft with double bed.

Vistas of weather and horizon steadily change. Deer often feed through, antelope and often elk can be seen at a distance (bring binoculars), sometimes moose, bear and coyote wander through, and birds, squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks are always scurrying by.

Horseshoes can be played behind the cabin. A campfire area is available for evening enjoyment. Have a picnic at the outside table, or enjoy quiet time or a picnic at the gazebo overlook.

Fishing can be had in alpine lakes or in the nearby Shields and Yellowstone Rivers. Big game and bird hunting are available in national forest lands or block management areas. Yellowstone Park is less than two hours. Shopping, restaurants and galleries can be found in Wilsall, Clyde Park, Livingston, Bozeman, and Big Timber.

Beautiful location/property
We started off our visit being greeted by Susan and Paul, they’re the nicest hosts I’ve encountered in all my Vrbo visits!!! The property has vistas on every side, and the most beautiful porch in which we had the pleasure of watching some MT rainstorms while relaxing. The properties in a perfect location to visit Livingston, Paradise Valley, Yellowstone And the crazy mountains. There is not enough words I could Used to describe how magical it was to stay there and I can’t wait to visit again. Thanks again Susan and Paul

Beautiful
Beautiful cabin. Very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Communication with the property owner was excellent and even checked in with us to make sure everything was good and if we needed anything. The bathroom was small and the beds were regular so cuddling with your partner is a must. Location was awesome and the property was gorgeous. Really enjoyed the gazebo overlooking the mountains and the ranches below. Unique cow traffic jam on the way to town! Definitely the best views one could ask for. Recommend for sure.

A little peace of heaven....
If you want somewhere to decompress and enjoy nature this is your place! Susan and Paul are excellent hosts that are very accommodating and have great communication throughout the visit. The pictures online do not do justice to the cabin - the views are breathtaking and the sunset is absolutely beautiful from the front porch of Sky Arbor. We enjoyed all the decor and you can tell the hosts have put their heart and soul into every detail inside the cabin. We saw a blue grouse, peacock, deer, and heard coyotes while at the cabin. Book Sky Arbor, you will not be disappointed!

Peaceful and beautiful
The views from the cabin and special lookout points were breathtaking. The cabin was a perfect place to relax and met all our needs. Paul and Susan were beyond helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Paul even cleaned bird poop off a high window before we checked to in to make sure our view was perfect. Susan was so kind to ship us an item we left behind. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for peace, solitude and to experience Gods beauty.

Heaven in Montana Countryside
Stunning property run by the best people. Humble home perched on top of a several hundred feet high hill, with extraordinary views looking over 50 miles (or much more) in the distance at mountain ranges. Favorite part was sitting on the covered porch watching the monsoon rains come in during the evening, and the sunrise over the mountains in the mornings. Off the beaten path, so peace of mind in an instant. Saw eagles, deer, farmlife, chipmunks all from the property. Was lucky enough to stay during a visit by Jack, a beautiful and gentle horse staying there. Recommend 4x4 for sake of gravel driveway, and no agenda. Paul and Susan are as sweet as it gets. I can’t wait to make it back

Fell In Love with SkyArbor
Our stay at SkyArbor was just phenomenal. Paul and Susan thought of every detail to such an extent that we never lacked for anything. You'll get to know the dramatic mountain views from every window and the quiet, of course, is otherworldly. Prioritize time out at the observation deck behind the property while you glass the hills for animals across the Douglas fir forest. Be sure to look for the creek near the lower end of the property (it was so nice to sit beside and think). We cannot wait to return -- we fell in love with this cabin and Montana! The Mitchells

Amazing Cabin Retreat in Montana
Our stay at the SkyArbor Cabin was amazing. This place is located high up to provide a great view of the surrounding mountains. The location is an extremely quiet and peaceful. The Cabin is very well maintained and includes essentuailly everything you will need. All we needed to bring was our bags, and some groceries. The owners are very helpful, and the communication was great. The Cabin, and the land it's located on is Very well maintained. If you're looking for a amazing place to decompress, this is it.

A Wonderful Retreat
Beautiful cabin in a stunning location. The cabin is spacious, clean, well stocked, thoughtfully decorated, and has every convenience. Both the two viewing arbors at the perimeters of the property and the cabin itself offer glorious views. A wonderful place for either a solitary retreat or a family gathering. The owner was there when I arrived, to offer a tour of the property and to demonstate how thing worked. Excellent communication before and after my stay.

Lovely Mountain views
The house was better than photos. These owners have beautiful collections of stones, animal pelts, a very interesting collection of books as well as spectacular antlers. It was exceptionally clean. Probably the cleanest of homes we have ever rented. The mountain range views are incredible, although it was smoky from wildfires in other parts of the state. A family of deer visited regularly and we enjoyed seeing their horse Jack daily. The town/community of Wilsall has a darling general store with a cafe. The only negative is the bathroom. It is quite small with just a small shower and single sink. That makes for some planning when everyone needs to get ready. Susan is good to check in with you but we had no issues that needed addressing during our 8 day stay. I would recommend this property.

Even better than we could imagine!
We have stayed at tons of VRBO locations but we have to say this was one of our favorites. The location is ideal to escape the world without losing some of the conveniences of civilization. Beautiful deck, very comfortable, clean, cozy, etc. The pictures of the residence online do not do the location justice. It is much nicer than we thought it would be. The owners are incredibly organized, attentive and kind. I say, go for it!
