My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and it was amazing! The cabin was beautiful, clean, and very well equipped. Frank and Ruby had everything we needed and served up several special touches that were very sweet and they made us feel right at home! Great central location for all of the area’s activities. Honestly, we haven’t had a better stay, with better hosts, anywhere before!

About the host

Hosted by Frank & Ruby Leftwich

Host profile image
We have owned this property and our home for 27 years and have always wanted to build a nice cabin somewhere on the property for family & guests. After 30+ years traveling in the Aviation industry for Frank and full career in the Medical Services industry for Ruby, we retired early and focused our passion for building and creating a beautiful Cabin in the woods with our own hands & labor. We absolutely LOVE Montana and everything it has to offer. It is our home and our Heart & Soul.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to build something that we haven't found, and a special piece of ourselves in a very beautiful setting, to share with you.

What makes this property unique

This Cabin offers new & modern amenities of a first-class accommodation in a beautiful, wooded setting where you can sit on the deck and listen to the stream, or walk out to sit by the stream and enjoy a glass of wine. It is completely secluded to give you privacy and the feel of Nature, yet close enough to town for all your necessities.
