About this property

Heron's Roost Cabin #2 - Our New Cabin!

We've recently built a second cabin with locally sourced lumber and materials. It turned out wonderful and we think you will enjoy your stay here.

The cabin overlooks the beautiful Kootenai River in Northwest Montana and is located 13.5 miles east of Libby, MT and is only 3 miles below the Koocanusa Reservoir. The cabin is ‘turnkey’ with a queen bed on the main floor, a loft that sleeps 2 (full bed), a well equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, books, games, DVD’s and wifi. There is a covered deck to watch the abundant wildlife, a propane grill for barbequeing and a nearby boat launch and fishing access to the Kootenai River. Full service dining at the River Bend Restaurant is only a mile away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Had a quick two-night stay at this beautiful cabin. It was far enough from Libby to seem remote but still close enough to run into town and grab groceries or get takeout. Property is very well maintained, very clean, and has everything you need for a stay.Would love to come back for a longer stay next time!

Just a lovely spot, very comfortable cabin. Well stocked kitchen but a whisk would have been nice. Would gladly stay again. Host was on top of any issue that came up. Pictures don't convey just how nice it is. Location was very good for exploring around Libby. Main bed is high but soooo comfortable. Stool worked perfectly.

We loved the porch, short walk to the water, and we filled the hummingbird feeder! Quiet, relaxing, and really appreciate the book with trails in it! We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was clean, has wi-fi, heat, a/c, screens, and curtains!!

It was close enough to town, but fairly secluded. The highway it is on is not busy, so just closing the front windows was enough to keep the noise out. We ate almost every meal on the deck.

Wonderful Log Cabin

The log cabin in the woods is very warm and cozy. The beautiful Kootenia river is nearby. It's conveniently located near Libby. We were in town to attend the Amish auction.
