Perma House, Rural Wilderness Getaway

We had an amazing stay at the Perma Cabin. This is the Montana living I love; an abundance of big natural beauty, in a small friendly community. The home was wonderfully stocked and furnished. Our dogs loved the big fenced yard and our kids loved swimming in the river. Sue was very kind and attentive (we had a small issue with the fridge leaking water). To be fair and balanced, I will say that our family members, that stayed in the second bedroom (on the south side), were not fond of the trains at night (they like to sleep with the windows open and are light sleepers). Overall, an astonishing Montana experience.

Fantastic home equipped with everything you could need. The location sits right along the bluff above the Flathead River with access down a flight of 40 stone steps so not easily accessible for everyone. Great views of river and mountains on the back patio. Close to Buffalo Reserve and Hot Springs and Plains for groceries. Sue, the owner, is great and easy to communicate with.

We stated in Perma for a work trip, and Sue was very accommodating! She worked with us on our funky situation/schedule, and the property was amazing, right on the river. We had a great stay.

Nice little house on the Flathead River. It was a quiet spot and our only visitor was a little brown bear. Internet is spotty.

It was a wonderful place. The views were beautiful. Very close to the family wedding and family members would stay there again.

I live in MT but my sons came from Spokane and NY to visit and this was the perfect meeting spot. 3 bedrooms plus 2 recliners if needed. Very well stocked fridge and cupboards, plus an amazing view of river and mountains… this was a great VRBO! Thanks, Sue!

Perfect location and cabin on the banks of the beautiful Flathead River

The house and property were perfect for our group. In the area for a wedding in neighboring plains where lodging was limited. Only 25 minutes from the venue and 1 hour from Missoula airport. The house is beautifully decorated and situated right in the mountains, with the river steps from the backdoor. Sue is beyond accommodating and couldn't have asked for a better host!

Beautiful scenery! Nice, clean and comfortable! There is no sign stating you are in Perma coming from Dixon, so don't blink and count your miles!

We loved our stay at The Perma Cabin! My husband, myself, and our 19 year old son drove here from Washington state and met our other son and his girlfriend here for 4 nights. They live in Great Falls where he is stationed in the Air Force. Perma was a great meeting point and this house met all of our requirements (on water, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms). We had the BEST time! I loved the layout of the house, having a master bathroom, and the comfortable living room. We enjoyed meals under the covered patio, watching hummingbirds and the river. We played games nightly, read, relaxed, and enjoyed being together. We fished, kayaked, and spent time on the river. We visited the Bison Range, which was fun too! Inexpensive and tons of Bison to see. We spent one day at Rainbow/Dog Lake (30 minutes away) and basically had the lake to ourselves and it was great for paddle boarding and kayaking. The river at the house was great, but a little fast moving - keep this in mind if you have young ones or people not experienced with river recreation. We really appreciated this home being open to dogs (with approval and a fee). Our chocolate lab, named Kayak, LOVED our trip. From a pet owner standpoint I really appreciated the fenced yard. Our son and his girlfriend were so happy that we brought Kayak and they could spend time with her too. A few tips for future renters...tribal use/fishing licenses can be bought online. We did this ahead of time and it was great arriving and having this handled. If you are at all picky about drinking water, plan to bring your own. Not sure if we are just used to city water, or what, but we ended up buying lots of bottled water due to taste preferences. I hate doing that but when it is in the 90s and you are outside lots keeping everyone hydrated is important. Regarding the trains, they did not bug us at all, but we also live by train tracks and don't mind hearing them pass by. My husband and I have rented well over a dozen VRBO properties and this one was really well stocked! The access upon arrival was easy, with clear instructions, and the home was very clean. The Wifi worked fantastic which was appreciated too! The cell phone reception is basically non existent (but the owner left tips on where the best access was), so having WiFi was great. Thanks for sharing your home with us! We would love to book it again sometime!
