Alder, Montana
This comfy cabin, built in the 1930's in the Beaverhead National Forest for family recreation was forced to move in 2010 to the Ruby Valley. Grandson and great grandson moved the cabin rather than burn it down. It retains its rustic exterior with logs milled in the valley in those early years. Inside, however, the cabin is fully modern, well insulated, nicely decorated and perfect for making more family memories.
Tucked into a 3 acre ranch homesite, the cabin is just one mile from Ruby Island (a Ruby River fishing access) in the heart of some of Montana’s best fishing. It also offers an easy drive to the Madison, Jefferson, Beaverhead and Big Hole Rivers. Apart from fishing, the area offers bird and big game hunting, birding, hiking, skiing, horseback riding and gem hunting.
The cabin has a King sized bed in the great room and a trundle bed in the bedroom so it's perfect for a couple and two children or a couple and one other adult. The bathroom has an excellent shower, and the kitchenette offers a cooktop, toaster oven, microwave, coffee pot, and a double sink. The large deck is furnished with patio furniture and a gas grill. Trees to the North create privacy on the deck yet great mountain views abound in every direction.
The cabin sits at an angle that insures privacy on the shared homesite. The owners live to the east past the horse corral, garden, and copse of trees. Another home is to the west with landscaping demarking property lines.
A Weimaraner and a Turkish Boz (an extremely large dog) live on and protect the property. They are friendly and enjoy having company,
Irrigation, haying, cattle drives and other ranch work occur within the view shed as the cabin is part of a ranching operation.
This cabin was perfect!!!! We wish we could have stayed longer. It was perfect for visiting Virginia City and Nevada City. The property owners were terrific and the cabin was so clean the perfect size for all 4 of us. We love sitting on the deck in the morning and playing in the grass in the evening. The have a dog named Grizz that was the sweetest thing ever!! Truly the best rental we have stayed in hands down.
we were only there in the evenings after sightseeing each day but found it very comfortable, quiet and loved all the dogs and horses. it was set up for everything but we did not cook or eat there,we ate in town each day,after all, we were on vacation. I would recommend to anyone who wanted solitude and to look closely at the ad that said two bedrooms, one bath because it was one bedroom,one bath with extra bed in living room kitchen area.
Beautiful setting, and cottage. Could not have asked for more. Will stay there on our next trip. The owners were wonderful as was the local residents that we were able to chat with at the local bar. Our daily and evening visitor Grizz made us feel at home as did Julie and Dave. Would highly recommend this beautiful property to visit. Thank you again
We really enjoyed our time at Julie's cabin. We went to Yellowstone several days, and although it's a bit of a drive, it's a pretty drive. Griz and Junie Bug are so sweet, and we enjoyed watching the horses too. Montana is such a beautiful state. We also enjoyed the cooler weather. Hopefully, we can come back one day.
Came to Montana for first time. Needed to stay close to Alder. This was an excellent location for us. Will definitely stay here again. Very clean and convenient
If you want peace and quiet this is the place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We received a recommendation from a friend who stayed here and we are so glad we did. Easy booking, responded quickly, and very accommodating when we needed to change our dates. We truly got the Montana experience!!!
We came here for our honeymoon and it was the perfect spot. So peaceful and quite. Lots of natural beauty to take in. The hosts were kind and friendly. Would definitely come back!!! Griz is so cute. We fell in love with him.
Clean. Nice. Good location. Awesome dog visits you. Very comfortable.
The purpose of our trip was to visit our son and see wild life and we had a good time doing both. The cabin was clean and cozy
We enjoyed staying at the cabin, we got our dog and horses fix while we were there, made not miss our dogs and horses as much. Beautiful place to unwind
A great home base to explore the Madison and Ruby valleys!
Great little cabin. Immaculate, cute and friendly hosts. Griz is a highlight, super friendly. Beautiful property well taken care of and manicured. Would definitely visit again.
This little cabin was perfect. We spent the 4th in nearby Ennis and Virginia City. So much fun. Griz is a sweetheart
