Great Little Cabin

This was a perfect place for our fishing trip. Location was great and the property is tucked away just enough, but convenient to the main highway for quick access. Would absolutely stay here again.

A cute cabin right off the highway that had plenty of room for our family. We loved our stay and felt at home. There is only one bathroom with a shower so plan accordingly with multiple people. We’ll stay here again!

Peaceful

I wish we could have stayed a little longer to utilize the firepit and outdoor area. It was nice to unplug for a bit with that back to basics home feel. No wifi, but excellent phone reception. A lot of history and character in the house. A few of our family members had a rough sleep in a few of the beds, but with recliners available it was great! Host had great communication and helped us when a few in our party had some struggles with the lock. Great host! Peaceful location

The cabin was great! Cute, vintage and very quiet. Everything was just as advertised. It was a little farther from Yellowstone than we had hoped but that is on us for not figuring it out sooner.

Fantastic stay

This place is clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family. We enjoyed the 4 rooms, and the living space where we could relax and play games together. It’s well maintained and the cabin is quite impressive. It’s a beautiful little spot easily accessible off the highway, but far enough for some peace and quiet. The whole yard and area around was beautiful with the lilac hedge and giant trees. We will definitely make this place a yearly tradition. Thanks

Nice place. Would have been nice to know that there isn’t any WIFI and that TV only has dvd option. Also, it would be nice if there was a coffee machine and ice trays.

The structure of this place is definitely a cabin, but its location is definitely not cabin. It is only a block from the highway and there are other houses on the street. There were trucks and tractors up and down the street all day. The entry to the staircase to the upstairs is low. I only whacked my head on it twice before I learned to duck when using the stairs. All of the bedrooms are upstairs and the two bathrooms are downstairs. So if you have to use the restroom in the middle of the night you have to go down the stairs and remember to duck so you don't whack your head. The two lamps in the living room both had burnt out bulbs. I was able to find some extras in the cabinets and replace them both. The selection of knives in the kitchen to cook with is laughable. A decent set of knives could go a long way here. Also, staying here either requires the purchase of an insurance plan or a 3000 deposit. 3000? Is that a typo? I personally would not stay here again, but if you are looking for a quaint place to stay off of the highway, that is what this is.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Howard

Host profile image
Our family was raised in this cabin and we are exited to share the cabin with others so they can experience the beautiful scenery and peaceful setting we enjoyed growing up there. Our dad and his family built the cabin themselves on the family farm that has been in the family for over 100 years.

Why they chose this property

The cabin sits in a quite, rural area with plenty of space between the cabin and the neighbors. From the cabin you have a beautiful view of the mountains, ranches and farms that are in the area. The Chester and Fall River Canal run through the property and often you will spot wildlife on the around the cabin.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is part of the family farm that has been in the family for 3 generations. The cabin was built by the Howard family and they were the only family to live in the cabin.
