Tranquil Retreat

This was our third visit, and every time we thoroughly enjoy the lake, the view, the privacy and the serenity. We also enjoyed the company of the bluebirds, chipmunks and squirrels, who promptly cleaned up any nuts, seeds, etc. left on the deck. Thanks to the hosts for sharing this special spot!

The location on Cygnet Lake is really lovely. The house & deck have a lot of seating, which is nice. There are many toys down at the dock that are ready to go: plastic paddle boards, a canoe, a paddle boat. The backyard is big & nice for setting up a hammock.The grounds have a lot of old bikes, tubes, boards, old items, etc stashed under decks, in the side yard, under tarps, against the house, etc. Years of accumulating stuff and not removing no longer used items has taken a toll.The house was so dirty. I had to clean the kitchen (mouse poop and dust/residue build up on the counters, for example) to make dinner. There was so much food, spices, etc, including in the fridge, that it was difficult to find space for the things we brought. There were spice packets sitting out that had been chewed by mice. The bathrooms were so dirty, particularly the one tub/shower that my 80- year-old mother and I both cleaned (using dusty bottles of cleaners) for over an hour. The floors hadn’t been cleaned in a long time evidenced by the dust, debris, & mouse poop. Finally, we are accustomed to removing sheets from beds upon exit, but the instructions were to also remake the beds. It was a bit much after all deep cleaning.The bedrooms have old linen, people’s clothing, their beauty supplies in the closets, on the wall hooks, & in the drawers. It felt like we were intruding on the owners. The owners did offer 100 cleaning credit and were responsive. We left one night early.

Dear Annie,we are so sorry our cabin did not meet your expectations! Yes we do have. To much stuff under the deck and we will be cleaning it out but. It is shielded from view with lattice. And we do leave condiments in the door of the fridge for use. And yes we do leave some clothing in the closets when we return. The cabin is 40 years old and if you were expecting it to be as clean and immaculate like a hotel resort I am sorry. It is our cabin to use and enjoy for our families. And yes there is a motorcycle and bicycle outside. As for the mouse droppings they occurred overnight after we left. as for the Cabin being dirty, I don’t know what to tell you! We do our best to thoroughly claim before any and all renters. We feel that this Cabin with three bedrooms bath and a half, large deck, fire pit, and all of the watercraft we offer in the back to nature feel for families is amazing!

Perfect family break

We had a wonderful time playing on the lake, reading in hammocks around the property (we brought our own but there are so many perfect places to hang them), and sunbathing on the dock. All our kids (ages 7-17) loved being together and always had something fun to do, whether it was paddling across the lake, swimming in the water, building fairy gardens in the yard, or reading on the deck. The lovely weather helped, but even when it got rainy we could snuggle inside and read books by the fire. Everything we needed was there and the host was very communicative. I highly recommend this for a retreat away from cell phones, calendars, and the busyness of everyday life. It was so peaceful and refreshing for us. If you bring enough food you can plan on not ever having to leave the whole time you are there, and truly get a retreat!

Relaxing Vacation

We rented this cabin for a week with the plan to unplug and relax. It more than met our expectations. We spent the majority of our time on the lake paddle boarding, canoeing, swimming and snorkeling. We had the entire lake to ourselves for the majority of the week. And to glide across the still and tranquil lake in the morning was heavenly. When we weren't on the lake, we were relaxing on the porch looking at the lake playing games, reading, feeding the birds, or doing a puzzle. We saw lots of wildlife throughout the week, deer (2), bald eagle (4), fish, turtles, hummingbirds, chipmunks, birds, and squirrels. This was actually our 3rd time visiting this cabin (2006, 2011, and 2023). Our now young adult children enjoyed reminiscing. It was fun. The owners were amazing to work with. The cabin amenities were great!

This is like staying in someone’s home and I don’t feel right criticizing how another person chooses to live. However as a rental, there were personal items in each bedroom, the bath tub had a used razor, someone’s shower scrunchie, a used and dried washcloth, the small bathroom trash was filled with feminine hygiene products. The kitchen cupboard had dried coffee in the first coffee cup I pulled out, dried egg was on a plate also in the cupboard and the small skillet was oily with food products inside. Dried sticky substance on the dining table. I think the housekeeper must have had a bad day because many of the reviews talk about how clean the cabin is. We all cleaned before we felt somewhat comfortable-both bathrooms, the kitchen including the inside of the microwave, the countertops, the fridge is beyond help-it’s simply filthy. Then we cleaned the coffee pot and we washed every dish, cup, glass and utensil before use. The location is wonderful with lovely views of the lake.

Fishing with brothers

This comfortable cabin was perfect for a base camp for me and my brothers to explore and fish in the area. The outdoor fire pit was a plus with ample wood to burn. Very quiet setting with comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen. We hope to return another time.

About the host

Host profile image

Howdy, We are the Smiths from Missoula Mt, just 1 1/2 hours drive from our cabin! As you can see, we raise a few puppies. Anyway, we are certain you will love our cabin just as much as we do. It really is a little piece of heaven. Scott Deb Connor and Jordan

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the wilderness and the Swan Valley. 32 years ago my wife and I had a picnic on this very spot next to the lake, and she said if this ever comes up for sale, we are buying it! Thank goodness I was a Realtor, as just one year later, I noticed it came on the market. And here we are.

What makes this property unique

Swimming in the lake, reading a good book by the fireplace, hiking right out the back door to national forest servce land, enjoying the evening on the deck, a great campfire, enjoying the peace and quiet, feeding the stellar and gray jays, watching the deer, hiking to wilderness lakes, dinner at the Hungry bear, hiking to Holland falls. Just plain relaxing.
