    Very nice cabin and setting. We enjoyed staying here. Having 2 full bathrooms was a huge plus. Loved the book with pictures and your story of building the cabin. Had everything we needed.

    Wow did we enjoy our stay at this property! I booked this property because the listing looked good online, however there was a major wow factor when we actually walked into the cabin. The view from the master bedroom loft was incredible. My husband and I loved relaxing in bed in the morning. Our 2 sons shared the room with the bunkbed and there was more than enough privacy. The basement has a TV where my husband enjoyed watching football, which did not interfere with me enjoying the breathtaking views from the porch. Our first evening there we saw the northern lights! There is definitely a property I recommend and plan to return to at some point.

    Great location, wonderful views. Easy drive in, some wildlife sightings along the way. Great view off the deck. Kitchen met our needs. Easily accommodated 4 seniors plus another room with bunks if youre bringing kids/teens. Definitely a rustic feel, comfortable, relaxing. Convenient to Missoula and easy drive from the airport. We were quite satisfied. Thanks guys!
