Host had an in depth understanding of local area and was very friendly. Room was cleaned all but one night which was a nice touch. Only complaint would be the TV not working for half of stay and when it did, the resolution was fit to screen but definitely added to the bonding aspect of the trip. If you're looking for a true small town western experience with a great price then this is the place to be. Sunsets and scenery of Melrose are second to none. Definitely the place you want to be to find your inner peace.
Susan met us at the property and was very helpful and friendly! Will definitely be back next year! Cabin was exactly as advertised and perfect for our trip!

A terrific place to stay. Clean and comfortable. Close to the Bighole River, the Sunrise Flyshop and the Hitching Post restaurant and bar. A very friendly community and the host Susan is extremely welcoming. Will definitely be back.
The Pioneer Cabins are not fancy but are very clean, well maintained, and perfectly located for those wanting to explore the Big Hole river area. Beds were great and there is housekeeping service each day. Wow that was unexpected. Susan is a great communicator and very friendly. She even made the cabin available early for us on our second weekend so a sick colleague could rest the day in a nice cabin.
The Pioneer Cabins are located right next to the Big Hole river and are neat and clean. The host Susan Ovitt was wonderful. She communicated well and was even able to get our cabin ready early. The beds were great, had a small refrigerator and microwave and a full bath. Even had housekeeping service each day which was quite a surprise. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Melrose.

This little cabin was perfect for us. It had everything we needed for our stopover in Melrose. It was also close to fishing spots for my husband, big plus! The locals were all so nice and welcoming…we will be back for sure.
