We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! The location was perfect for adventuring in the area during the day and coming back to relax during the evening. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the birds and watching the ever-changing skies over Montana. We loved the peace and privacy of this cabin. We will definitely stay again!
The cabin was a perfectly delightful place. The setting is tranquil and so peaceful. The logs and stone walls are a work of art. It is a cabin, but it has all of the conveniences of a house. The kitchen is well equipped. It was a wonderful touch to have basics like olive oil, some spices, mustard, ketchup and other food items. It is an easy drive to Bozeman from the cabin. We were there in October and the fall colors were outstanding. We walked up the trail in back of the cabin and enjoyed the view over the valley.
I highly recommend this property!
We stayed for a month, August 2024. Nice cabin, in a beautiful area. It's fairly easy to get to (unlike some mountain cabins). We had moose, bear, and deer visits. Easy to get to Bozeman or Livingston within 15 minutes.
Cabin and rooms are on the small side, for a couple it's fine, I could see for a family it could get tight. Could use some updated furniture. But these are minor nitpicks for what was a wonderful stay.
Host was always responsive. We never had any issues while we were there. We loved Montana (our first visit), and this cabin.
This was our 2nd time staying in this cabin and it did not disappoint. Our group included my husband, his sister, and our 2 Golden Retrievers. The cabin has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We had several wildlife encounters that were a thrill. We had a small black bear cross the driveway in front of us as well as a beautiful red weasel, and a herd of elk grazed in the pasture below the cabin one evening.
The location was perfect for our adventures. We took a boat tour at the Gates of the Mountains, rented a raft and floated down the Yellowstone, drove to Old Faithful, went horseback riding near Gardiner, toured Big Sky, Livingston, and Bozeman, went to the Three Forks park, drove through Ted Turner's ranch and viewed the bison, and enjoyed several hikes.
We spent our evenings grilling and chilling.
Thanks for letting us share this wonderful cabin!
I’ll start by saying I LOVED the location and seclusion of this cabin. The host was friendly and responsive. The well water does stink, but it’s not unusual for remotely located cabins, and they did provide plenty of bottled water for drinking. What I didn’t love were the flies. Not that there were flies attacking us during our stay, but when we first checked in, I counted 12 dead flies in the upstairs bathroom. Each day the count got higher, and across the floor upstairs, I counted over 100 dead flies. We eventually moved to the downstairs bedroom, as walking around barefoot around all the dead flies was rather off putting.
We loved our stay in this cabin. It was a perfect distance outside of Bozeman - definitely secluded but still only a short drive to restaurants, shops, etc. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s super cute, comfortable, and fun. The upstairs loft was a really nice bonus space. The kitchen was well-appointed with plenty of appliances, dishes, and utensils. Laundry was great as we got plenty dirty while out hiking. The host was quick to respond when we had a minor issue. Our favorite thing, however, was that there is a cattle gate to get on the driveway to the property and during the last two days of our stay the local rancher moved his herd to the pasture along the driveway. We loved navigating cattle and cute little calves along and literally on the driveway to the cabin — silly, I know, but it made it feel authentic Montana! Well water had a sulfur smell, but the smell doesn’t stay in your hair or on your clothes if you do laundry, so it wasn’t a big deal. It also, to be honest, was sort of an everyday reminder we were staying near Yellowstone geysers and natural hot springs. The filtered drinking water tap was fresh and not smelly at all. Good supply of local guidebooks and snacks were an appreciated bonus! Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay! There was an unexpected occurrence, but the host was very responsive helping to resolve it! Our family will hope to be back soon!
Breathtaking vacation in mountain cabin perfection!
This cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of five, plus two dogs. Every amenity exceeded expectations, host communication was thorough and prompt, and everything was clean, clean, clean! Secluded but accessible location made exploring fun, with reasonable proximity to Bozeman, Yellowstone and so much more. We hope to return here again and again!
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was plenty big enough for the 4 of us (and 2 dogs) and we appreaciated all the extra little comforts that were available: hair dryers, plenty of kitchen gear for cooking, 2 grills, plenty of outside seating for dinner, nice linens and towels, 2.5 baths, etc. We'll definately go back!
This is a beautiful place. Very remote. We enjoyed the stay completely. The location allowed for us to see many things in the general area besides Yellowstone. We would recommend this site to anyone looking to stay in a secluded, quiet place with many tourist options nearby.
Amazing property and cabin. Cabin is perfect sized, has everything you need, very clean and in immaculate shape. The property is beautiful, nestled in the trees, plenty of shade, all you hear is the wind blowing through the trees. Would definitely stay again. We loved everything about it.
The cabin was beautiful! Our family of 4- kids 18 and 16- and two Labs had a fantastic time! Great location where you can hear and see the surrounding wildlife. Martha and Jessie, the property manager, we’re great to work with. We would definitely go back,
We loved our stay at the cabin as it was precisely what we wanted; a bit off the beaten path and not right in the mix. Everything was exactly as listed, the cabin was clean, easy to navigate and right in the wilderness. We look forward to our return
The cabin was fantastic. This was our second year renting. Hope to come back next year.
The owner and property manager were great to work with. Very professional and responsive.

Gorgeous Mountain Hideaway
My husband and I spent 5 nights here and we loved it! The cabin had everything we needed to have a restful and peaceful vacation. Downtown Bozeman was a quick drive so we were able to have lunch in town and dinner at home with a warm fire. The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating. I've already booked a week in July because I am definitely coming back in the summer! Thanks VRBO and Martha!
Nice retreat my husband’s 1st time to Bozeman. we are both outdoors folks I’m happy he fell in lov
We are both outdoors folks I’m happy he fell in love w/Bozeman & Montana lookin for a 2nd property. My old territory been there many times enjoyed being outside of Bozeman but not far enough to get back to town if you need it!!!
Thx Martha
We absolutely loved this cabin. Nice and secluded yet still close to so many things to do. We sat outside every morning and listened to the Elk bugle. We saw a few off the back porch and on the drive. Close enough to Old Faithful, tubing and hiking. All the amenities you could ever need to stay in, cook or grill and relax to the Sonos sound system. Wish we could have stayed a few more days! Hopefully we can make it back.
While you feel you are in a remote section of Montana on the side of a mountain it is amazing to be able to drive down to Bozeman or Livingston in less than thirty minutes.
The house is amazing. It was plenty hot during our stay but we opened the windows at night and then closed them in the morning trapping the cool night air inside. That worked well. Logs are a great type of insulation.
The cabin is amazing and very well laid out. We really didn't want to leave.
