About this property
Knotty but Nice by the Bitterroot!
Kick off your boots and enjoy a one of a kind, newly renovated, & professionally designed cozy cabin getaway across the street from the gorgeous Bitterroot River, a blue ribbon trout stream! Better yet, grab your canoe and pole to test your luck with some fishing. How about a scenic bike ride from the cabin taking you along the river to the historic downtown Stevensville area, Montana's oldest town home to small shop boutiques and delicious local foods. For snow lovers, we’re minutes away from the spectacular Lolo pass, and Lost Trail ski areas.
As you enter the house, you are greeted with a rustic comfortable atmosphere and exposed log beams. The home is bright and inviting. The open living room, dining room and kitchen has two bedrooms off to the side along with a bathroom. Behind the kitchen is a large mud room/laundry. The upstairs loft is one large master suite with a scenic balcony where you can enjoy the majestic views of the Bitterroot Mountains along with your morning coffee.
The Stevensville boat launch is just a mile away, & just across the river is the Lee Metcalf wildlife refuge where you can fish, hunt, birdwatch and hike.
Whether you come to relax, explore the great outdoors, or just get away & work away from home you will leave rejuvenated, refreshed with unforgettable memories.
So get the real Montana experience by staying in a log cabin!

We had such an amazing three weeks stay at this beautiful cabin! It's super clean, and tastefully and comfortably furnished. We loved the outdoor spaces, especially the upper deck off the master suite, the grassy lawns, and the front deck. The kitchen is well organized and fully equipped. Hosts Pasha and David have thought of everything a guest would want or need. The location was perfect for us with its proximity to the river, town and the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge. With such easy access to the river and trails, it was just the best place for a summer stay in Montana...and an artist's dream!
We have been staying at this house for 4 years now and it is perfect. We love the location of the house and all of the amenities the house has. We travel with kids and they enjoy the yard and the fire pit.
Property was cozy, clean and very welcoming! Great location! My family really enjoyed all the yard games and loved fishing in the river. We would definitely stay again!
We enjoyed the beautiful cabin and all the extras. It was super- clean and furnished beautifully. Communication with Pasha was great and we will certainly recommend her spot to our friends!
Very nice!! We loved the drive along the river when coming back to it each day. It had everything we wanted or needed and then some. Will definitely stay here again when visiting family!
Everything was perfect!! We had a blast and the place was so cozy! Loved the fireplace as we hung out and chatted! We loved the entire property and could have stayed all month!

Jyndia we’re so glad you had a wonderful time! It was a pleasure to host you & your friends.
Our number one priority is that our guests have a great experience & make memories!
We look forward to having you stay with us again!
This place is a gem. Not far from Missoula, many Bitterroot Forest trails, and so much more. The cabin was the perfect size for our family with a lovely deck and porch for lounging. The backyard had wonderful green grass and a great fire pit for cool Montana evenings. They thought of everything.
My granddaughter and I really enjoyed our stay! This property is not only beautiful but very clean and welcoming from the moment you arrive. Everything you need to make you feel at home and comfortable.
I highly recommend!
My son and his fam live 10 minutes away from the house so it is perfect us to come and go. There are so many yard games and the fire pit for evenings and we even used the bbq pit this time. Everything was perfect!
Our hosts went over and above to make our stay extremely enjoyable…even supplying the Dutch oven I needed for my bolognese sauce!Would highly recommend both the accommodations & Pasha & David as hosts. However, if any of the guests are 6’-8” tall there may be a bit of ducking & a fly swatter would be nice.
I cannot brag on this particular VRBO enough Pasha was the best host I have ever encountered, and this cabin was the perfect place for my family and myself. Everything that you could possibly need is available at the cabin, and we loved the personal touches left throughout the cabin. We have already discussed coming back to this cozy place in the future. Great for all ages for sure!
