Amazing five stars

This cabin was everything we hoped for and more. It was super clean, beautifully maintained, and tucked right in the valley of a mountain, surrounded by rolling hills, open farmland, and scenic views in every direction. A peaceful creek runs through the property, and the large outdoor space made it easy to relax and take it all in. Nights around the fire pit under the stars were unforgettable.The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen had all the essentials and then some—we actually chose to cook in most nights because it was that enjoyable.Mike, the host, was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful.The location couldn’t have been better. We visited Big Sky, Livingston, Yellowstone, and spent a couple of nights in downtown Bozeman. Even with all our exploring, we always looked forward to coming back to the cabin—it truly felt like a private retreat in the heart of Montana.We’re already looking forward to booking this place again. Montana is an incredible place to visit, and this cabin made the experience even more special.Highly recommend—photos don’t come close to capturing how beautiful it is!

Truly a great experience at the cabin. Comfortable and had everything we needed from bath towels to paper towels. Kitchen, grill, cookware, laundry all top notch and fully stocked. Extremely peaceful and secluded property with beautiful flowers, a creek and extended views. We saw several deer and a moose! Great base camp for exploring Montana and Yellowstone. Highly recommend!

Perfect Setting

This was our first trip to Montana and will not be our last! This house was everything we hoped for and more!! The owners dud not miss one small detail! They were communicative from the time we booked until the moment we left for our return. They answered every question promptly and gave great suggestions for activities. The house and property provided peace and relaxation. The house was super clean and stocked with everything we needed. The property was well maintained. We spent a good amount of time sitting by the stream and around the fire pit. The location is perfect. We were close to everything we needed but far enough away from downtown for a peaceful setting. The hiking trail at the property entrance is very convenient! We made lots of memories here and can’t wait to return!

Loved the serenity and the privacy of the natural setting. The kitchen was equipped with everything I could have possibly needed and so was the rest of the cabin. The pictures do not do it justice.I would definitely recommend this cabin and plan to stay again. Oh, and the stream and the glider beside it was my favorite spot,

Amazing Cabin and Location

Wow! This cabin is amazing. It’s the perfect mix of rustic with modern updates. My wife and I had a great stay here and even received some good snow storms that added to the serenity of the place. We definitely want to come back again and bring our teenage kids so we can all explore the area. Highly recommend this cabin and so glad I stumbled upon it in my search.

Amazing location, amazing house

Unbelievably special cabin. Very comfortable for our family of 4 (2 college kids). Loved the kitchen gas stove for some heat in the mornings. Kitchen, bathrooms and laundry were all remodeled and beautiful. Loved the location for exploring Bozeman, Big Sky and surrounding mountains. Great location beside the Cottonwood Canyon trailhead so you can hike/bike right from the cabin.

Luxurious Country Cabin

Absolutely beautiful cabin, even nicer than pictures online can show. Very thoughtful details and decor throughout. All supplies we could need in kitchen. Great location close to Bozeman and for seeing ghost towns and Yellowstone, but also very private and peaceful tucked away in a valley. Absolutely loved our stay and hope to return soon!!!

Fall Break from the Arizona heat

we had a wonderful full week at this charming cabin. we had our 3 kiddos ages 11,9, 4. the cabin was cozy and perfect to cook breakfast or grill at night then sit by the outdoor fire or cuddle up inside watching a movie after a long day of exploring. We went fishing at Bodhi farms. visited Yellowstone, hiked and ate and shopped in downtown Bozeman. it was a perfect week both relaxing and adventure filled.

Amazing Family gathering

We had an AMAZING time at the cabin. Our daughter was able to join us from WY with her BF and we were able able to invite an Aunt and Uncle who lived locally for dinner. The cabin was comfortable, charming, and clean. Welcome basket, bottle of wine & jar of local honey was something that was so welcoming. Spent a day hiking on local trails. Honestly one of the best accommodations we will warmly remember. Thank you.

Heaven on Earth in Bozeman!

This cabin is PERFECTION. My family of 4 stayed here in July 2022 during our first trip to Montana. The cabin sits in a tranquil canyon right next to Cottonwood Creek. The whole area is so calming and beautiful. The cabin was super clean and very well-appointed. The kitchen has everything you would ever need and the washer and dryer were a great bonus. Michael was an excellent host, always answering my questions promptly and thoroughly. He shared a lot of great suggestions on things to do in the area. The check-in process was super easy as well. We felt very at home in this lovely cabin and would love to return someday. Thank you for sharing your home with us Michael!
