Our Little Cabin, Life As It Should Be

Our Little Cabin, so quiet you can hear birds sing, deer snort and if you want, yourself think! The cabin is located in a meadow/wooded rural setting approximately 8 miles from Philipsburg. The kitchen is well equipped & there is a BBQ. The cupola allows for stargazing from bed, a 1890's wood stove provides warmth and ambiance. Whether fishing, hiking, panning for sapphires or reading a good book, this rustic, cozy, clean 1 room cabin is comfortably furnished for a relaxing stay

We loved the quiet tranquil area, the cabin was cozy, not to far from town but far enough to feel like your off the grid. It was a wonderful family getaway and we would stay here again for sure. Our hosts were wonderful and knowledgeable. Thanks for the great stay.

Winter Wonderland

Our family stayed at the 'little cabin' for Spring Break , and we had a fantastic time! We enjoyed skiing/snowshoeing, gem hunting, playing games, star gazing, cooking, and all the wildlife. The location is beautiful, and the cabin is like a dream inside-so cozy with lovely furnishings. It is just perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful beauty of Montana. The hosts are superb and have thought of everything. We are so grateful for this trip and plan to stay again.

Great base for sibling road trip

This cozy cabin located in a beautiful location was perfect for our annual sibling road trip. Friendly and interesting host. Chocolates and cold beverages were very welcome after traveling. Fun decorating touches in cabin (and a personalized note from host). Information notebook about cabin and area includes fact that water heater for shower is ten gallons. Gorgeous evening skies as a thunderstorm rolled in. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

We really liked the location. So peaceful. And having little things available like coffee was super nice due to arriving late so I could still enjoy a cup in the morning. The combination oven, toaster & air frier was nice. The furniture was old but comfortable. Our host was so friendly, responsive, and full of good information. Overall this property gets an A rating. I wish I could have stayed a few more days.
