Good short term stay

Great place to stay for a couple of nights. Beautiful view from porch. Don’t expect to sleep with the extremely squeaky floorboards and train close by.

Grand views in a remote getaway

Wonderful stay, Jill was easy to communicate with, and gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations. Her and her families cabin is exactly what we were looking for; beautifully off the beaten path without being too far from the main hub. Excellent place to stay and operate around. Would stay again! Thank you Jill and Fam!

I’d love to come back

We stayed for a couple nights as we were attending a wedding. If I had the trip to do all over again I would have stayed at this place for a week or longer. It was so peaceful and the views are to die for…. We had a great time and wished it was longer!

Wonderful Stay!

The cabin was very clean and cozy. It was an easy drive with great directions. One thing to note is that the bunk beds are on the main floor. My elderly mother slept in the bottom bunk and bragged on how comfortable it was. An added bonus was that her grandson slept on the top bunk, so they had a little slumber party. I would highly recommend Jay and Jill’s cabin.

Great for our family!

Great location, wonderful views. Easy drive in, some wildlife sightings along the way. Great view off the deck. Kitchen met our needs. Easily accommodated 4 seniors plus another room with bunks if youre bringing kids/teens. Definitely a rustic feel, comfortable, relaxing. Convenient to Missoula and easy drive from the airport. We were quite satisfied. Thanks guys!

Authentic western Montana getaway

This home is gorgeous, comfortable, and literally built by hand. We watched hummingbirds from the front porch over breakfast perched over the Clark Fork river. The cabin is private and quiet, but not too far from a happening college town (Missoula) if visitors want an outing. Beds are all comfortable, well-stocked kitchen, wonderful flower beds and plenty of room for a couple of families yet cozy enough for a romantic weekend away. Thanks to Jay and Jill for hosting!

Beautiful, quiet and close to adventure

Our family had an amazing time at the cabin! It was really hot the week we were there, and we were concerned about not having air conditioning - but it was totally fine. Cool night air and fans totally worked and kept us cool. We enjoyed all the space, peace and quiet. The cabin was great - quiet and private, yet close enough to all the activities (hiking, rafting, swimming, horseback riding). Morning coffee on the deck and beautiful sunset views in the evening were nice relaxing bookends to activity-filled days!

Absolutely AMAZING!

Wow did we enjoy our stay at this property! I booked this property because the listing looked good online, however there was a major wow factor when we actually walked into the cabin. The view from the master bedroom loft was incredible. My husband and I loved relaxing in bed in the morning. Our 2 sons shared the room with the bunkbed and there was more than enough privacy. The basement has a TV where my husband enjoyed watching football, which did not interfere with me enjoying the breathtaking views from the porch. Our first evening there we saw the northern lights! There is definitely a property I recommend and plan to return to at some point.

Things that can be easily fixed.

The downstairs sliding glass door & the cold water faucet in the bathtub were inoperative. The exposed light bulbs had no lampshade, the downstairs bath barn door had no handle on the inside.

Private and accessible

Location on the river is inconsequential. River not accessible from the property. Views of butte and mountains was relaxing. Kitchen well supplied with cooking gear. Gas range is on propane and cooks hotter than natural gas. Lightning is a bit challenging. There is a flashlight beside the sink. Stairway is not a standard rise/run. Could be challenging for smaller children and adults with motor issues Beddiing was comfortable and in good condition. We arrived st the end of an unusually hotter week but with fans and windows were able to cool down at dusk. Some wild turkeys and chipmunk are in the area.
