This is a comfortable log cabin with great attention to detail set on our cattle ranch in the Melville area where our families have lived for generations. Otter Creek is a small, beautiful stream and is just steps away from the back door. There are miles of hiking, bird watching and photographic opportunities; scenic and wildlife views surround you. This is for the nature lover, those who love the outdoors and all it offers. We have a private reservoir a short walk from the cabin, and you are welcome to use our kayaks and paddleboards to enjoy the water. There is also an opportunity for horseback riding for an additional fee mid-June to mid-Sept at the nearby Sweet Grass Ranch.

The space

The hand-built cabin has a living room with lovely views of the Crazy Mountains, comfortable stuffed hickory chairs and sofa, wagon wheel lights. The dining area has a hickory table which seats 6 easily by a picture window or there is a back deck for eating where you can listen to Otter Creek and watch one of our glorious sunsets as you watch deer, fox and birds enjoy the evening. There is a full kitchen with cooking utensils, pans, etc., in the cupboards as well as some cooking essentials. There is also a wood burning stove in the living room for that unbeatable wood heat. The cabin has a downstairs bedroom with a queen bed and an upstairs loft with two twin beds (and enough room to add a couple additional guests on floor mattresses, if requested and for an additional fee).

Guest access
There is hiking for miles on the ranch, which runs all the way up to the base of the Crazies. There are suggestions for hiking in the binder in the cabin. We do not allow you to drive anywhere on the ranch other than to the cabin.

The Otter Creek Cabin provides the perfect opportunity to reconnect with family and enjoy the simple pleasures as there is no television. We do have Wi-Fi.

    My husband and I drove through magnificent country after a long day of hiking to be surprised with this lovely getaway cabin. Part of an original homestead, this cabin was built with care and attention to detail, clean as a whistle, stocked with essentials, and set on the loveliest little creek for watching the sunset and wildlife. We only spent one evening, but will be back!

    My wife and I recently stayed at this cabin, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled off the beaten path, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of tranquility and natural beauty. The cabin was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The deck was one of the highlights of our stay, offering a breathtaking, million-dollar view of the Crazy Mountains. We spent countless hours just sitting outside, soaking in the serenity and watching the changing light on the peaks. It was the perfect spot to enjoy our morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine in the evening. Though it was just the two of us, this cabin would be equally perfect for a small family. It’s spacious enough to comfortably accommodate up to four guests, yet cozy enough to feel intimate for a romantic getaway. The quiet surroundings added to the peaceful atmosphere, allowing us to fully disconnect and relax. If you’re looking for a serene escape with stunning mountain views, this cabin is a fantastic choice. We can’t wait to return!

    Absolutely amazing. The unobstructed view of the mountains, the babbling creek, the peace and quiet, along with a thoughtful and wonderful host, Annie, made this one our favorite vacations to date.

    This property is not what it says it is in the listing. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER! There is no way I’ll be able to address everything in this review, just know that this place is Heaven on Earth! First, the host. Annie was INCREDIBLE! Not only did I receive communication soon after booking to welcome my family, but even the week before Annie reached out to me and provided me with EVERYTHING I needed to get there. She remained just as helpful and welcoming throughout the entire stay. Second, the property. The pictures don’t do this place justice. The property is very secluded, but Annie provided excellent directions that had us pull right up to the front door. The cabin is a work of art, and the story behind it makes it such a treasure. There is literally nothing between you and the mountains except grassy fields (you can almost always see deer out grazing). The cabin is set in the most perfect angle so you can sit on the back porch and watch the sun set behind the mountains and there is nothing to obstruct the view. We couldn’t keep our kids out of the creek that runs right behind the cabin! Third, the activities. Annie set us up to have the coolest horseback riding experience at their guest ranch. Along with exploring the land, Annie allowed us full access to the reservoir and kayaks there at the ranch. Literally walking distance from the cabin! This was the most unforgettable vacation! I cannot thank this family enough for sharing their piece of paradise with us. ❤️

    The Otter Creek cabin is beautifully constructed and well appointed for a comfortable stay. Annie and her family are the best, and helpful for whatever you might need. The perfect back porch with views to the mountains cannot be beat....anywhere!!

    The place can be in a painting, it is very beautiful. Annie and rocco are great people very kind and welcoming. They even put fresh cookies on the table for us... it was sad to have to leave.
