Beautiful log cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful rustic log cabin on a picturesque ranch in Montana. Though being quite comfortable, it transported us back in time to the “old west” Amazing view sitting on deck, fields, bushes, babbling brook in the foreground, snow capped mountains in the distance (we stayed in May)…just wonderful. A long scenic unpaved road to access the property was also part of the charm. Very happy we were able to stay at “grandpa’s cabin!”

A scary and unlivable place

We drove into gardener and found a nice populated city waiting for us. However, don't let this fool you, the drive to this cabin was 40 min into the forest. We were driving on dirt and we were led into the middle of the mountains. Our hearts were pounding as we got closer, we eventually even lost signal. We finally got there and it was a house straight from a horror movie. The pictures shown are complete lies, instead picture any house from any horror movie. We could've died there and no one would've known because it was so deep in the forest. There was no lights and the house door was left open. My daughter started crying and my wife refused to step out of the vehicle. IT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. NO ONE SHOULD EVER VISIT OR RENT THIS PLACE IN THE FUTURE.

Cozy cabin

We were vacationing to Yellowstone and wanted a place other than a hotel. This place was clean, cozy and felt like a home. Also the sheets smelled fresh! A place we could relax after a long day of touring and make supper to enjoy outside with our family. The grounds were great to go for walks and visit the horses. My whole family enjoyed and we made a lot of memories.

Wonderful Ranch Experience

Our family had a wonderful time at this property and would highly recommend. It's likely we will be back soon for another visit. This is such a unique and beautiful setting and a great way to explore a backroad in a famous valley in Montana. The key with this property is getting exactly what we expected. We didn't want a hotel, we didn't mind the drive from the main road, and we value the quiet and privacy of being in a rural setting. The area is stunning, the quiet was fantastic and our kids didn't watch a single minute of TV for all of the things around them to keep them busy. (They are 7 and 5.) They played in the creek on the property, visited the animals who came to say hello, had a camp fire, and got their own beads in the loft each night. This is a cabin, to be sure, so don't expect multiple closed bedrooms and multiple full bathrooms, but the views and the setting were spot on. Be comfortable with a gravel road approach and enjoy the sunsets on the deck. We came to float and fish the Yellowstone River, and the location was great for that. One of our put-ins was right at the bottom of the access road to the property. It was also a bonus that Yellowstone hot spring was right at the bottom of the hill.

Awesome place to stay!

This cabin was beautifully located and decorated. Gives you a rustic feel and you can hear the sounds of wildlife, but know you are safe since you’re on the Ranch. The hosts were extremely amiable when we locked ourselves out of the house at 10:30pm as well! Came by within 10 minutes to assist us. Definitely recommend this cabin at Shai’s ranch!
