We loved the cabin! It felt remote even though it was close to skiing and just a little further to Yellowstone. Staying at the cabin was the centerpiece of our family holiday trip. Beautiful river surrounded by snow and stars.

Amazing Little Cabin

This is a great little place. Beautiful view out in the front deck. Could have used a TV for background noise but it was a nice change. Would stay again. Feel like a true Montana stay rather than at a resort that feel corporate.

Awesome cabin in beautiful location

Stayed here for 4-nights on a skit trip. Just a great little cabin in a beautiful location. Fully equipped and cozy. Peaceful location with river right out the front door.Easy, scenic 30-minute drive to Big Sky. 10-15 minutes from Riverhouse for great dinners. The Corral not far away either for drinks and dinner.

We loved the cabin and the location. It was very quiet. There is a small resort across the river but we hardly noticed. Also, it’s close to a lot of amazing hiking trails, whitewater rafting, and fishing. Highly recommend!

We loved the simplicity of this rustic property. We didn’t need more than it offered, and we liked being so close to the river. The price was reasonable and the daily drive to Big Sky was not a problem at all.

Great little cabin

The cabin was clean, beds comfortable, and the kitchen had all you need to fix meals. It also stayed remarkably cool even in 85 degree days thanks to the shade from yhe trees. Simply gorgeous area surrounded by the mountains and woods.It made for the perfect basecamp during our trip. 40 minutea to yellowstone, about 15 to Big Sky the other direction, and numerous local trail heads anywhere from 2 minutes to 30 minutes away.Highly reccommend if you're ever in the area.

Super cute, awesome place

Super cute, clean and nice. We stayed in the winter. The wood burning stove is a cool touch and everything was as we thought. One note for folks coming in the winter is that the parking is a bit away from the cabin so you need to lug your luggage and food through the snow, which may not be easy for everyone. Happy traveling, nice place!
