About this property

Bear's Den on Firetower ranch

Beautiful views and wildlife are right out your front porch. Catch the moose and their young as they make their way to the pond, deer are seen almost every morning just outside of cabins door, or watch the black bears their cubs just across the ridge in what we have named “BEAR MEADOW’ (from a safe distance of course!).
The kids can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors in a custom built “little Fire Tower” playground complete with a zip-line ( please play responsibly).
Just short hike from your front door are 4 lakes for fishing or kayaking: Grassy Lake, Reservoir lake, Twin Lakes, and Axolotl lake- well known for the artic grayling fish and the rare salamander that Axolotl Lake is named for, can you find one? So close to multiple atv trails for adventure or just relax next to the firepit while taking in the breathtaking views from the top of the mountain. “JUST UNDER HEAVEN’ is our slogan, come see why. At night it feels like you can touch the stars.
Feeling adventurous?? Take a short hike to the top of the mountain behind Bear’s Den to our picnic table for lunch, from this vantage point you can see 6 different mountain ranges!
Rustic comfort is the theme of this cabin, with rough saw cut reclaimed Douglas fir wood designed by Yellowstone Traditions and modeled after the Old Faithful Inn.

The best of Montana in on place

Our stay was more than we could have asked for. Views, solitude, and gorgeous workmanship. The kids had a great time and never once asked to go home. Actually, they asked if we could stay another night! Check in was a breeze and the manager, Chris, was friendly response and helpful. 10/10

A place to rejuvenate

This property was unbelievable. It was the best get away ever. Being away from all civilization, with the best rustic, yet modern cabin, was more than any of us had imagined. The only thing wrong, was that we didn't book it for long enough. We are looking to go back, hopefully next year.

Amazing Place!

The Bear's Den was really a special place to stay. The furnishings were perfect for this solidly built ranch style home. There was ample room for the three of us to be very comfortable inside and we enjoyed the deck too. It was very quiet and cool at night in the mountains. The property manager Chris was very accommodating and enthusiastic. The gravel road to get there was a bit challenging, but well worth it to be able to experience this place. We loved it!

INCREDIBLE VIEWS OF MONTANA

We were warned prior to arriving that you need either an all wheel drive or a 4 wheel drive. Fortunately we were able to achieve access to this incredible stay via all wheel drive. If it is raining you probably will need a 4 wheel drive. The road to FireTower is a bit challenging and a little scary the first time, but it is very well maintained by Chris, the property manager. We were able to text him because the cell tower just happened to be on the next mountain and we had 4 bars the entire stay. We were prepared and were expecting no cell or internet, which would have been fine. But if you have to work or worried about anything at home you will be able to use the internet and phone at FireTower Ranch. We were welcomed by 2 deer on the path to FowerTower and once we drove into the property we were WOWED!! It is an amazing property and we felt very lucky that we chose Firetower. We stayed in Bear's Den which was absolutely perfect for the 2 of us. There was a bedroom and a living/kitchenette combo. There is not a full fridge or a stove. We used the grill and the grill top to cook steaks and burgers while we were there. Since this is a new rental they were still adding necessities as needed. Everything runs off of solar so we were very aware and kept electricity to a minimum. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was AMAZING with flow and heat. The property had a brand new swimming hole that they had just finished and a great play area for kids with a zip line. There is also a firepit for roasting and toasting. We can't wait to go back and bring family. They in the process of building several cabins on the property which will be perfect to host families and friends. The tower is 3 stories with the kitchen on the top floor. Bunk room on middle floor and a nice master suite on the lower floor. It had an awesome deck overlooking the mountains and the swim pond. If you are looking for a private off the grid vacation for you and your family you will not be disappointed. All I can say is WOW!

Amazing Mountaintop View

My family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights. We loved the adventure that is the road leading to this home and the trails at nearby lakes. My 9-year-old especially loved Axolotyl lake. The house is gorgeous and more than spacious for the 4 of us. Would stay here again.
