Wonderful location, thoughtful amenities, and easy communication were the highlights of our stay in Deer Lodge. Everything we needed was provided in the well stocked and organized kitchen and bathroom. The game room was used extensively, and we hosted five additional adults for dinner comfortably. Definitely an excellent value! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home!

What a fabulous home! You shouldn't want for anything, as the house is well-stocked with even some surprises to keep a family entertained. Although probably not the responsibility of the hosts, the creekside was overgrown with weeds which took away from the park-like view in this small town. We kept busy a whole day with local attractions.

Stopover in Deer Lodge

We had a short stay in Deer Lodge and could not be more happy with Cotton Creek Getaway. It was a quaint cool house restored wonderfully and was extremely well stocked. The owner Bill helped us out with an issue we had with an immediate response which we appreciated. It was in a quiet part of town and had everything to entertain yourself with darts, pool table, puzzles, board games etc as well as books of the surrounding activities. We had a great time there and saw the sights and then headed back for some relaxation. We would definitely book again and we highly recommend this little gem to others. Thanks for making this available for us Bill

Wonderful place

Just a few blocks from the historic prison and downtown. It's a beautiful house with everything a person needs. Being our first Vrbo stay, and not knowing what we were doing, the host were very easy to communicate with. We couldn't ask for a better stay. There aren't enough good things to say about our stay.

Cozy cabin

Very warm and cozy despite being below zero outside at times. We were there for hunting and they accommodated our two hunting dogs. We did take care of the property very well. The TV was good and the bed was good. The kitchen had good utensils and there was good ice machine. It was in a neighborhood that was out of the way and across the street from a little park.

We really enjoyed staying here. It was conveniently located! We had been traveling for 10 days and really enjoyed our "down time" to get a little rest and do laundy! The house has so much character! Bedding was wonderful! Kitchen well equipped! Having the pool table and darts was fun. I highly recommend this charming home! :-)

Why they chose this property

This property has all the comforts of home. The home is 105 years old, but we have taken time to keep the integrity of the house but update accordingly. Take a hot bubble bath in the original clawfoot tub. Sit on the front porch with your coffee while you watch sunsets over Pikes Peak West and listen to Cottonwood Creek run by. This home and Deer Lodge are centrally located in between Helena, Missoula, Phillipsburg and 2 hours from Livingston, MT.

What makes this property unique

This home is affordable and a great home base as you take in the sights of Montana.
