About this property

Riverfront Cabin on the Madison! 35 minutes to Yellowstone Nat'l Park!!

'Check out our Video - scroll to the right of the last picture above.'

Our custom built, 1600 sf cabin, which we affectionately refer to as 'The Fishing Shack', was completed in the fall of 2008. An additional 350 sf studio apartment was completed in 2013. The property is located on the Madison River, known for its majestic beauty and world class fly fishing. The cabin is a gorgeous, 35 minute drive to the entrance of Yellowstone National Park and about an hour to the winter hot spot, Big Sky Ski Resort. With its fabulous location, reclaimed barnwood floors, custom kitchen, 3 flat screen TVs, a Jotul wood-burning stove, and floor to ceiling windows, it is a magical vacation spot.

The primary suite has a queen bed with pillow top mattress, Smart TV, French doors opening to a 5 person Jacuzzi Tub overlooking the river, and a custom built pebble shower with dual shower heads (including a rain head). There are two bedrooms upstairs, each with log bunk beds (twin on top & queen below). Open the windows and let the smell of the mountains and the sound of the river lull you to sleep. The open loft has a cozy seating area, a third TV with DVD player, and game system for the kids (and the kids at heart). Directly on the river, you will find a large fire pit perfect for staying warm and making s'mores while watching the fishermen in your family catch that big brown just feet away.

Our cabin is located 30 minutes south of Ennis and 35 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It is situated in a friendly residential community with about six other homes and delightful neighbors. It is across the river from a Forest Service campground and a short walk to the world famous 'Grizzly Bar & Grill' (you must sample their delightful wine selection).

Fill the long summer days with activities such as fishing from the property, floating the Madison, exploring Yellowstone National Park, hiking beautiful mountain trails, horseback riding, listening to live music while sipping local wines and soaking in the Norris Hot Springs, experiencing an authentic Montana rodeo or riding the antique railway in historic Virginia City.

We hope you enjoy our cabin as much as we do, and we look forward to sharing the beauty of Montana with you.

We stayed here for our honeymoon trip and this place was PERFECT! We went to the Norris hot springs they recommended as well as the restaurant up the hill and both were amazing. Only 35 min to West Yellowstone entrance and a beautiful drive. Hot tub and deck overlooking the Madison River was great and loved falling deep to the sounds of the river! Amazing and Dave's communication with my husband prior to trip was excellent! Best trip

We loved our stay at the Fishing Shack! Our first delight was the beautiful view of the Madison River right outside of the living room and/or the deck outside. One afternoon we saw an Osprey fly down and grab a fish out of the river and no sooner than he started his climb into the air, a bald eagle flew at him and stole away his catch, so cool! A few of us enjoyed the hot tub even in 40 degree temperatures outside. The Shack floor plan was very accommodating for our group of 7. It was built in a rustic design (lots of woodworking) but everything was still modern and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked; from dishes, pots and pans, casseroles and baking pans, colanders, to spices, cooking oils, etc. The host provided a lot of information about the Shack and the local area. Very helpful! Dave was very quick to respond to our questions and to accommodate our requests. This was reassuring. Thank you to the Stewarts for sharing their beautiful "shack" with us!

The house was very welcoming, extremely clean, and just a lovely riverfront cabin vibe. It was wonderfully stocked with all the necessities from steak seasonings to toilet paper and paper towels, and things that normally you don’t find. My family hiked in Yellowstone and fly fish in the evenings. And had coffee on the deck with warm comforters in the morning.

We just returned from staying a week at the “Fishing Shack” and absolutely loved everything about this cabin! The pictures of the cabin are great but wait until you see it for yourself, the owners really put their heart and soul into every detail and it showed! The sound of the Madison each night is something special. We loved the location as we could drive into the park or go the opposite way to Ennis and Virginia City. Amazing place!! We hope to return and definitely stay here again!!

Absolutely gorgeous view and beautiful home on the Madison River. Some days my family wanted to leave Yellowstone to spend time at this home, so that says a lot. Easy and pretty drive from the West entrance and a short drive to Historic Virginia City (mining town). Listening to the river and soaking up the mountain views from the spacious deck or hot tub made for a relaxing and comfortable trip. Hands down one of my family’s favorite vacations and this home played a big part in it. Definitely recommend it!
