Amazing Stay

We had an incredible experience both at the cabin and in the area. Shae was super to work with and the cabin was exactly as pictured. We saw deer in the mornings and loved listening to the wind chimes on the deck. Kitchen has all the furnishings as we cooked breakfast each day there. The house was super clean and overall it was exactly what we were looking and hoping for! Thanks so much for hosting us and providing such a first class experience! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends. Guy

Quiet and relaxing

This was nestled in the woods and was so quiet. While sitting on the screened in porch, it was so quiet that I heard splashing in the nearby river. Shortly thereafter, a bear walks across the property. Lots of wildlife! Owners had amazing communication. Amenities were top notch and perfect for our family. It was a great place to unwind and disconnect. Perfect vacation get away.

Country Home along Stillwater Creek

We had a wonderful time at the listed property and in adjacent community of Whitefish. The accommodations at referenced property were welcoming and homey. We enjoyed time together on the porches with meals and viewing the meadow below. The home is modern, well kept, and has plenty of beds for a family. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and the stove made cooking in easy. I would recommend the property if you are looking for a place to get away and relax.

Fantastic Cabin

The Spencer Mountain Cabin was the perfect place for our family vacation. The cabin was clean and beautiful with nice linens and a fully stocked kitchen. Five stars isn’t really a fair rating, this cabin deserves more! The house decorations and furnishings gave the feel of a wonderful mountain retreat. The location was quiet, yet close enough to everything we wanted to do. I would highly recommend the Spencer Mountain Cabin to anyone looking for the perfect Montana location.
