Beautiful Retreat!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! The location was perfect for adventuring in the area during the day and coming back to relax during the evening. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the birds and watching the ever-changing skies over Montana. We loved the peace and privacy of this cabin. We will definitely stay again!

Breathtaking vacation in mountain cabin perfection!

This cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of five, plus two dogs. Every amenity exceeded expectations, host communication was thorough and prompt, and everything was clean, clean, clean! Secluded but accessible location made exploring fun, with reasonable proximity to Bozeman, Yellowstone and so much more. We hope to return here again and again!

Beautiful cabin and setting!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was plenty big enough for the 4 of us (and 2 dogs) and we appreaciated all the extra little comforts that were available: hair dryers, plenty of kitchen gear for cooking, 2 grills, plenty of outside seating for dinner, nice linens and towels, 2.5 baths, etc. We'll definately go back!

Everything we expected. Clean, quiet.

This is a beautiful place. Very remote. We enjoyed the stay completely. The location allowed for us to see many things in the general area besides Yellowstone. We would recommend this site to anyone looking to stay in a secluded, quiet place with many tourist options nearby.

We loved our stay at the cabin as it was precisely what we wanted; a bit off the beaten path and not right in the mix. Everything was exactly as listed, the cabin was clean, easy to navigate and right in the wilderness. We look forward to our return

Gorgeous Mountain Hideaway

My husband and I spent 5 nights here and we loved it! The cabin had everything we needed to have a restful and peaceful vacation. Downtown Bozeman was a quick drive so we were able to have lunch in town and dinner at home with a warm fire. The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating. I've already booked a week in July because I am definitely coming back in the summer! Thanks VRBO and Martha!

Perfectly secluded yet close to everything!

We absolutely loved this cabin. Nice and secluded yet still close to so many things to do. We sat outside every morning and listened to the Elk bugle. We saw a few off the back porch and on the drive. Close enough to Old Faithful, tubing and hiking. All the amenities you could ever need to stay in, cook or grill and relax to the Sonos sound system. Wish we could have stayed a few more days! Hopefully we can make it back.

Perfectly Peaceful

The cabin was a perfectly delightful place. The setting is tranquil and so peaceful. The logs and stone walls are a work of art. It is a cabin, but it has all of the conveniences of a house. The kitchen is well equipped. It was a wonderful touch to have basics like olive oil, some spices, mustard, ketchup and other food items. It is an easy drive to Bozeman from the cabin. We were there in October and the fall colors were outstanding. We walked up the trail in back of the cabin and enjoyed the view over the valley. I highly recommend this property!

Nice Cabin in a Great Area

We stayed for a month, August 2024. Nice cabin, in a beautiful area. It's fairly easy to get to (unlike some mountain cabins). We had moose, bear, and deer visits. Easy to get to Bozeman or Livingston within 15 minutes. Cabin and rooms are on the small side, for a couple it's fine, I could see for a family it could get tight. Could use some updated furniture. But these are minor nitpicks for what was a wonderful stay. Host was always responsive. We never had any issues while we were there. We loved Montana (our first visit), and this cabin.

Cosy in the woods

While you feel you are in a remote section of Montana on the side of a mountain it is amazing to be able to drive down to Bozeman or Livingston in less than thirty minutes. The house is amazing. It was plenty hot during our stay but we opened the windows at night and then closed them in the morning trapping the cool night air inside. That worked well. Logs are a great type of insulation. The cabin is amazing and very well laid out. We really didn't want to leave.

Remote Setting

Valley drive out of town and cabin setting on hillside was impressive especially the wildlife viewing. Bozeman was still very accessible and Yellowstone was an easy drive. However, the stinky well water was overwhelming; the smell was not conducive to doing laundry. The artwork was risque and not family friendly; more than suggestive and not fitting for a peaceful woodlands setting.

Perfect cabin in perfect location

This was our 2nd time staying in this cabin and it did not disappoint. Our group included my husband, his sister, and our 2 Golden Retrievers. The cabin has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We had several wildlife encounters that were a thrill. We had a small black bear cross the driveway in front of us as well as a beautiful red weasel, and a herd of elk grazed in the pasture below the cabin one evening. The location was perfect for our adventures. We took a boat tour at the Gates of the Mountains, rented a raft and floated down the Yellowstone, drove to Old Faithful, went horseback riding near Gardiner, toured Big Sky, Livingston, and Bozeman, went to the Three Forks park, drove through Ted Turner's ranch and viewed the bison, and enjoyed several hikes. We spent our evenings grilling and chilling. Thanks for letting us share this wonderful cabin!

Lord of the flies

I’ll start by saying I LOVED the location and seclusion of this cabin. The host was friendly and responsive. The well water does stink, but it’s not unusual for remotely located cabins, and they did provide plenty of bottled water for drinking. What I didn’t love were the flies. Not that there were flies attacking us during our stay, but when we first checked in, I counted 12 dead flies in the upstairs bathroom. Each day the count got higher, and across the floor upstairs, I counted over 100 dead flies. We eventually moved to the downstairs bedroom, as walking around barefoot around all the dead flies was rather off putting.
