About this property
Montana Log Home on Private Acreage with Mountain Views
Basin Creek Lodge is a one-of-a-kind property in the heart of Southwest Montana, 5 miles south of Butte. This rustic and comfortable Montana log home is situated on 25 acres in a natural Montana setting. The house is perched atop a hill in the Basin Creek watershed, with 360 degrees of panoramic views. From every window you’ll see mountains, pine trees and aspens, and pastures. From the loft deck view the sparkling lights of nearby Butte. The city of Butte and surrounding southwest Montana offer a wide variety of recreational activities, but we bet you’ll want to spend plenty of time just sitting on the expansive deck, enjoying the view, listening to the birds and the wind in the quaking aspens, and soaking in the peace. The house is a quarter mile up a private drive from Basin Creek Road, on a dead-end dirt road. (You don't need 4WD in the summer, but the road can be a little bumpy). Explore the property’s rugged 25 acres or enjoy a game of horseshoes. The house has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with room to sleep 8 in bedrooms, (Or up to 12 when you utilize the sofabeds/rollaways in the downstairs family room. Contact me for requests for more than 8 adults). The spacious country kitchen comes well equipped with cookware and dishes and all the appliances and utensils you’ll need to cook for the gang. Town is just 5 miles away, where you can buy groceries or any other supplies and enjoy a variety of dining and attractions.

This property is ideal for anyone who needs to rest and reset. From morning coffee on the deck while watching wildlife to s'mores in the fire pit at night, we could not have asked for a better stay!
We had 3 generations staying here for 4 days. The home was comfortable and had plenty of room for everyone. The view from the expansive deck was fabulous. We even had a herd of elk visit a couple of mornings. Great communication from host. Would recommend!
This cabin is conveniently located just south of Butte and in close proximity to those uses but at a distance where you can really enjoy the western Montana countryside and hiking areas. The views are incredible pure Montana and the house is spacious, modern and well equipped for your enjoyment. Thank you for such a wonderful venue.
The views surrounding this property are amazing! The only sounds you'll hear will come from Mother Nature. Butte is only minutes away and has lots to offer for excursions, dining , etc. Kitchen had good selection of utensils, baking essentials, etc. Very relaxing and enjoyable location.
Gorgeous location within just a few miles from town. Quiet with amazing views all around. The log cabin was updated with a grand deck, floors and bathrooms - came with everything needed. We loved it so much we extened our stay as we did not want to leave! My boys loved to explore around the area and it was close to mountain bike trails just down the road. Sits at the top of a hill, so need to take it easy on the drive up.
This home was perfect for four couples. It provided comfortable areas for us to be together, yet private rooms for alone time. We felt surrounded by nature because of the big and abundant windows. We found everything we needed to cook with and eat our meals. The huge dining room table was useful for more than just eating. The host checked in on us and was very accessible.
We had a great time! The home was plenty big for two families. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you’d need to cook. We grilled one night and the BBQ worked great. The views are AMAZING - nearly 360 degrees! The location was perfect! Not far from town so we could run into Butte for groceries and other things we forgot. The only thing we ran into was the heat. Without AC, the house got warm in the day but the host provided a number of fans and the nights cooled things off great!
This is such a beautiful property! We were a party of 6 adults and 1 kid and it was super comfortable for all of us. The home is very well appointed with all of the things you might need. Ellen was so responsive when I reached out. Perfect for a big group!
Place was nice and large. Was supposed to be 4 of us but due to medical issue , it was just two of us. Place large enough to handle a lot of people. It was warm a couple days and ac would have been nice. Also the frig needed a quick cleaning and I found an open bag on peanuts on the ledge by the stairs.
View from the porch was amazing and watching the elk almost everyday was just pure therapy. It was also only 5 minutes to butte and that also was a plus. I would stay there again but not when it is hot.
The view of the mountains and city was great. Fairly spacious property with easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Owner/manager communication was prompt and helpful. Would stay again.
The property is amazing, quiet, and serene. We saw elk every day and night.
The only negative was we couldn’t find bedding for the roll away beds. We were utilizing all the beds with our family. We did not reach out to the property manager so it’s likely this could have been resolved with a phone call.
One of the nicest places that we have ever stayed in. Everything that you needed was provided. Excellent communication in a timely manner, getting there late, we were guided by Ellen for a easy entry. I would highly recommend their cabin in the sky to anyone wanting that big sky feeling
Basin creek lodge was perfect for us. We had 6 family members, everyone was very happy, and had a great time checking out the property. We saw several deer and even a badger running around. Ellen is quick to respond with any questions and made ys fell very welcome.

About the host
Hosted by Ellen Griffith
We (Marc and Ellen Griffith) have owned the property since 1999. Over the years, we've added some upgrades, and repaired some things that needed fixin'. We live in Oregon now, but this place is our little slice of Montana. We're happy we can share it with you until the day comes that we retire and move back "home."
Why they chose this property
My (Ellen's) family built the house the 1980s. When I was 14 years old, my dad and I hand-peeled all the Montana logs with antique drawknives that he bought at a garage sale. The logs and cedar walls are from the Plains area in northwest Montana, and the kitchen cabinets were made in Hamilton.
