This is an amazing cabin and highly recommended! We stayed for a week and loved staying there. The cabin is an authentic Montana experience. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all updated, clean and nicely decorated. The living area and kitchen have all the amenities for a comfortable stay and the gas fireplace was definitely used after a day of hiking. The cabin is on a wonderful property with wildlife and horses. The owners clearly strive to make guests feel welcome and promptly answer any questions. It’s a scenic and easy drive to Kalispell. We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals and this is definitely one of our favorites!

Wonderful place to stay in Marion. Host we’re both excellent to work with. Very clean and well stocked cabin. Quiet place to rewind after hiking and touring the mountainside. Quick trip to Kootenai Falls, Libby, Glacier and Fernie British Columbia. Bring your passport, worth the trip across the border once you get enough of Glacier.

Cabin Getaway

We had a great stay at this cabin in Marion. Very close to Little Bitterroot Lake - which was ideal for us! Our 4 year old loved reading the children’s books on the book shelf and we loved how comfortable everything was. We were impressed how cool the cabin stayed in the warmer weather without AC. The cabin also had great amenities available!

Beautiful property with a comfortable cabin

Our stay was excellent. The location is exactly as described. It was quieter than we expected and we really loved the outdoor areas. Walking trails, a picnic area, a fire pit with outdoor furniture but our family’s favorite was the horses that we got to feed treats everyday. The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable with all of the amenities you could think of. The hosts were responsive and made us feel welcome.

There was even a welcome basket for the dogs, and cozy beds for them to use. Silas and Alexis even had a fire set up for us in the pit by their pond.

Best Rental Experience Ever

My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful time in Silas and Alexis’ cabin. The place was everything they said it was and more! With walking trails, great little private nature areas, lots of room for our dog Theo to play, and close to everything Kalispell has to offer. They even added some really nice touches like dropping off carrots and treats to feed to their horses in the adjoining pasture. Very clean, well stocked and very helpful hosts. Top Notch👍
