About this property
Custom Log Retreat on 12 Acres Near Glacier: Mountain & Valley Views, Sleeps 12
Welcome to Yodel Dog Peak Retreat, a one-of-a-kind custom Amish-built log home set on 12 private acres with sweeping valley and mountain views.
With more than 3,000 square feet, two living areas, flexible sleeping arrangements, and expansive covered outdoor spaces, this retreat is designed for families and groups who want to spend meaningful time together without feeling crowded. Massive 16-inch hand-hewn, full-scribe logs, exposed posts and beams, stone accents, antiqued copper details, and hand-carved animals give the home authentic Montana character. This is not an ordinary cabin—it is a distinctive, handcrafted home with warmth, scale, and craftsmanship that photographs cannot fully capture.
Designed for Time Together The vaulted main-floor great room is the heart of the home, with soaring log beams, comfortable gathering space, a fireplace, and a separate wood-burning stove. The great room connects naturally to the dining area and fully equipped kitchen, making it easy to prepare meals, play games, visit, and relax together. The lower walkout level provides a second living area, dining space, and convenient kitchenette. This additional space works especially well for multi-generational families or groups who enjoy gathering together while still having room to spread out.
Sleeping Arrangements The home accommodates up to 12 guests: • Private upper-level king suite with workspace and ensuite bathroom • Two separate main-floor bedrooms, each with one queen bed • Lower-level bedroom with one king bed and two twin beds • Two portable folding twin beds available Maximum occupancy of 12 assumes use of both portable twin beds. The lower-level king bed and two twin beds are located together in one spacious bedroom, making it especially practical for a family or guests comfortable sharing a room.
Outdoor Living Enjoy more than 1,150 square feet of covered porches and patios. Sip morning coffee while taking in the views, prepare dinner on the gas grill, watch deer move through the property, or gather around the fire pit when local conditions permit. Guests have access to the home, porches, patios, and surrounding acreage. The peaceful setting offers room to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of Northwest Montana.
Coming Soon: Private Hot Tub A new private seven-person hot tub has arrived and is scheduled for installation. Guests booking an upcoming stay are welcome to contact us to confirm availability if the hot tub is important to their visit.
Conveniently Located Yodel Dog Peak offers the privacy of a mountain retreat while keeping Northwest Montana’s most popular destinations within easy reach. Kalispell offers a wide variety of restaurants, cafés, shopping, and everyday conveniences, with additional dining and entertainment options in Whitefish, Bigfork and Columbia Falls.
