Custom Log Retreat on 12 Acres Near Glacier: Mountain & Valley Views, Sleeps 12

Welcome to Yodel Dog Peak Retreat, a one-of-a-kind custom Amish-built log home set on 12 private acres with sweeping valley and mountain views.

With more than 3,000 square feet, two living areas, flexible sleeping arrangements, and expansive covered outdoor spaces, this retreat is designed for families and groups who want to spend meaningful time together without feeling crowded.
Massive 16-inch hand-hewn, full-scribe logs, exposed posts and beams, stone accents, antiqued copper details, and hand-carved animals give the home authentic Montana character. This is not an ordinary cabin—it is a distinctive, handcrafted home with warmth, scale, and craftsmanship that photographs cannot fully capture.

Designed for Time Together
The vaulted main-floor great room is the heart of the home, with soaring log beams, comfortable gathering space, a fireplace, and a separate wood-burning stove. The great room connects naturally to the dining area and fully equipped kitchen, making it easy to prepare meals, play games, visit, and relax together.
The lower walkout level provides a second living area, dining space, and convenient kitchenette. This additional space works especially well for multi-generational families or groups who enjoy gathering together while still having room to spread out.

Sleeping Arrangements
The home accommodates up to 12 guests:
• Private upper-level king suite with workspace and ensuite bathroom
• Two separate main-floor bedrooms, each with one queen bed
• Lower-level bedroom with one king bed and two twin beds
• Two portable folding twin beds available
Maximum occupancy of 12 assumes use of both portable twin beds. The lower-level king bed and two twin beds are located together in one spacious bedroom, making it especially practical for a family or guests comfortable sharing a room.

Outdoor Living
Enjoy more than 1,150 square feet of covered porches and patios. Sip morning coffee while taking in the views, prepare dinner on the gas grill, watch deer move through the property, or gather around the fire pit when local conditions permit.
Guests have access to the home, porches, patios, and surrounding acreage. The peaceful setting offers room to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of Northwest Montana.

Coming Soon: Private Hot Tub
A new private seven-person hot tub has arrived and is scheduled for installation. Guests booking an upcoming stay are welcome to contact us to confirm availability if the hot tub is important to their visit.

Conveniently Located
Yodel Dog Peak offers the privacy of a mountain retreat while keeping Northwest Montana’s most popular destinations within easy reach. Kalispell offers a wide variety of restaurants, cafés, shopping, and everyday conveniences, with additional dining and entertainment options in Whitefish, Bigfork and Columbia Falls.

My family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property while exploring the area from Flathead Lake to Whitefish and Glacier National Park. For us this was the quintessential rustic Montana cabin with great views and surrounded by nature which enhanced our overall experience on our trip. The owner was very responsive and gracious.

Filth CABIN!

We had the most “Filthiest", Strange”, “Creepy”, & “Alarming” experience at this CABIN Rental & with the HOST/Owner of this Rental. We thought that this Vacation with our Family in this Cabin would help us relax & give us a peace-of-mind; instead, it felt like a lot of WORK "Cleaning" & "Worrying" if the Host/Owner is "Spying" on us. We feel that we need a Vacation from this Vacation. This Vacation at the Cabin makes us “NOT” want to RENT a Vacation Home ever-again!

Beautiful cabin with endless views

We enjoyed a perfect week in Montana. The cabin was plenty of room for our family of 6. The porch, with endless views of valley below, was the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening after a long days in nearby Glacier. The cabin is extremely well stocked for cooking meals with a large variety of food items provided. The owner also provided a lovely welcome collection of snacks, coffee, beverages and even bags of ice that we used for our lunch cooler for a day of hiking. He had a few bottles of bear spray in the home that we could borrow for our hikes (and thankfully never had to use!) to save having to purchase in town. The beds and linens were very comfortable and the soaking tub in the master bedroom was a welcome for sore muscles. Everything about this home provided the relaxing week we all needed for our vacation.

Stunning Vista

The property has a spectacular view with everything you could want in a Montana mountain retreat. The owner was more than hospitable as he led us from Kalispell to a secluded home with all the atmosphere a visitor could possibly want. We were within driving distance of the activities we scheduled and the places visited. Our everyday needs were met with all the amenities that we required. Any questions we had were answered immediately and without question with an obliging call or an in person meeting. A serene captivating mountain home owned by an approachable and accommodating host in a truly beautiful part of the country.
