Owner’s Favorite - A Quaint Historic Cabin in the Heart of the Swan Valley

We enjoyed the quietness. Couldn't hear traffic or even farm equipment. We enjoyed seeing wild life also. At the night, the sky was clear and we could see all the stars. They looked like they were supercharged with brightness. Andy, the owner was beyond great. We got there too late to buy food at the local grocery store, so he brought us food to get us by. His generosity and care were unmatched. We would definitely go back when we are in the area again.

Very quaint cabin very close to groceries and lakes. Host was very accomodation and extremely nice and friendly. Cabin is rustic but had everything we meeded.

Cabin had everything we needed, was very clean, internet worked great, and owner was very friendly and accommodating.

Super cute place. Only complaint is there was no key.

I love this area. Definitely will go back. We had a brief stay but it’s a spot where we will revisit!

We had a wonderful quiet stay and appreciated the beautiful area. Andy came by to welcome us and see if there was anything we needed. He shared his knowledge of the area and made suggestions on where to hike. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Great little cabin with a great host! Despite having piles of snow, the owner had it very easy to access. Temps plunged below 0 while we were there and it kept us warm and cozy.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay. Absolutely beautiful, serene property in such a special part of Montana. The mountain view from the porch really sealed the deal. We watched a mother/baby owl duo who live behind the cabin, deer, horses and cranes right from the front yard. Andy was great, always readily available and had lots of great suggestions for the area. He was a lot of fun to chat with during our stay. We did one day at Glacier Park, but spent most of our time taking in the beauty of the Swan Valley. It is gorgeous. There is also a nice market nearby which we utilized a fair amount. This ranch is truly a place to get away from it all. We already booked a trip for next year and can’t wait to bring our kids.

The cabin was very dusty, which immediately triggered allergies. However our plan was to be outdoors so I was ignoring it. The tipping point was when, at 10:30pm we were ready for bed, exhausted, and I was cuddling with my son in one of the beds, and he noticed some small black things. It turned out that there were rodent droppings everywhere! On the beds, even under the covers, on the floor, under the bed, by the windows, in the bathroom. Hard not to freak out! Due to both safety and health concerns, we left immediately, in the dark, having to desperately find another place to spend the night. The host apologized later on, but by that point our weekend was ruined unfortunately.

Super duper awesome. Andy was rad.

Andy was great and actually upgraded us to the LazyBean cabin when he found out it was my husbands bday. Beautiful tranquil setting with Deer, geese and cranes.the cabin is nicely appointed with comfy beds and a mishmash of tasteful antiques. Andy is pet friendly ( just pick up the poo) which we enjoyed. Books galore!!! We sat and read Robert Frost poems both nights. We will be recommending any of his properties and we will be back!!! Gorgeous views of the snow covered missions and the Bob!

We had the most incredible time at the Homestead. The location could not have been more beautiful and Andy was an amazing host. We loved it so much we extended our trip and stayed an extra night. We can’t wait to come back!

This entire stay seemed magical. We booked last minute for a quick getaway with the kids and dog and it was better then we even could have hoped. Andy keeps a beautiful cabin with all the amenities but also character and history to boost! There are other cabins on the property but you are far away and excluded and private. Great walking trails and playing in the pond out the front door, lots of wildlife, saw The Great Grey Owl and deers everywhere. And then Holland Lake is barely 10 minutes away for a beautiful hike to the falls, and a perfect grocery store / grill not five minutes away. This stay was great, a real jewel, thank you Andy!

Andy, the host, is one of the coolest guys I have met. He was so welcoming, accommodating, and super down to earth. The cabin that we got (The Lazy Bean) is the most rustic, feel at Grandmas House atmosphere. I have not felt more comfortable in a weekend get-a-way cabin. We will definitely be coming back!

The cabin was clean and in a wonderful location. It was quaint and well-appointed. Would highly recommend!

Awesomene place to stay love thie history and the beauty of the place hope to return soon!

Wonderful stay! Andy was very friendly and showed us around the ranch. Our kids loved the upstairs, and it was great to bring our dog. Beautiful location and views. Very quiet.

We had a wonderful stay with our family! We especially enjoyed the scenery and trails throughout the property. This is a perfect pick for a quiet weekend away.

Perfect place to unwind and enjoy the quiet, along with the lakes and trails close by! Definitely would like to visit again!

Cute cozy getaway, away from all the hustle and bustle. Loved the wildlife and nature surrounding us! Lots of trails nearby to go on day hikes. Loved it! The cabin was not quite as secluded as we thought it would be. There were a couple of other cabins that were closer than we expected, but far enough to not be a big concern. We still loved it and may return at a later date. The owners are very friendly and made us feel welcome and at home.

Beautiful property with wildlife all around. So peaceful and wild. Andy is an awesome host and makes you feel like a friend. He shared so much information about the area and was available to help at the drop of a hat. He’s super friendly and tells great stories! Thank you Andy for sharing your historic cabin and property. Highly recommend!

Loved sitting outside and seeing the wildlife in the meadow! Exactly what we imagined for a rustic cabin. Lots of character.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! Andy was friendly, & communicating with him was easy. We arrived a little late our first night in, but he had the cabin open with lights on, warm & inviting! Deer all around. Book the trip!!

It was the perfect location with the perfect view and perfect set up for our work trip

Great place! Family friendly. Peaceful. Everything we wanted for a first visit to Montana

We enjoyed our wonderful get away, the property was amazing.

The property is the most amazing place and the cabin was just right for us—cozy and casual. The pictures are very accurate, but the overall feel was even better—just like home. Andy was the most amazing host, made sure that we experienced the best hidden gems of the area. Came to get us when there was a bear to see in the area! We are already planning a return for next year. Absolutely provided everything we were wishing for with our vacation! Perfectly enchanting!

This historic cabin is beautifully placed in the swan valley with mission mountains providing a fantastic view. Andy was a wonderful host very helpful but not intrusive.

The location is absolutely stunning. From the front porch the scene looks like a postcard with the meadow in front, tree line behind and the stunning snow-capped Mission Mountains in the distance. You have everything you need in the cabin and are a short drive from beautiful hikes. Perfect for the three of us - myself and my two adult daughters. Andy is wonderful and a wealth of information on the history of the area as well as the history of the homestead. Will be staying there again!

Had a wonderful stay. Host was very helpful and responsive. Would definitely visit again.

Andy is an excellent host. The cabin was clean and warm when we arrived late in the night. The cabin is fun and the surrounding area rich in outdoor activities. A really great stay!

Andy was a pleasure to deal with. The location was beautiful and cabin itself quaint, cozy and comfortable on a very well-cared-for land. A truly memorable experience - thank you Andy!

Perfectly placed for the hiking trailheads, an hour from the shops for the day. Andy was the best host we could have got
