Great family reunion.

The river is beautiful, swimming great for relaxing on rocks, not actual swimming. The cabin/kitchen was well stocked for utensils and basic condiments. There were a few repairs that need attention-screen door broken and first floor bedroom window needs handle to open it. The propane for bbq ran out first night but owner took care of it quickly. The few inconveniences did not turn us off. We all loved the cabin and location and hope to return in the future.

Our time at this cabin was amazing. The cabin is beautifully appointed and so comfortable, you want for nothing. Having coffee on the deck and looking out at the river was a daily routine. This is a wonderful place to stay!

Family vacation

Olivia was wonderful - she provided everything that we asked for - saran, foil and beach towels - to name a few. Kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated and enjoyed the fresh local coffee and granola bars provided for us. Spent most of our time outside on the back deck enjoying the gorgeous view and sounds of the Blackfoot River.

Blackfoot River Cabin

My family and I are returning guests and we absolutely love it here. The cabin is well appointed, cozy and has everything you need. Spending time with coffee on the deck each morning and sitting by the fire pit in the evenings just adds to the warmth and charm of the experience. Seeley Lake is nearby, and Missoula is within 40 minutes. It is an ideal location!

This gem of a property was the perfect place for a friend reunion! The river in the backyard is incredible and the ponderosa pines give it the perfect Montana vibe. Off the beaten path but perfect to rest, relax and unwind.

Perfect winter getaway!

Love everything about this wonderful and cozy cabin! It is the perfect peaceful and serene setting. I adore the proximity to the Blackfoot River, the "thinking tree" right out the front picture windows, the cozy fireplace. The house is well stocked with everything you could need to cook. The layout is perfect for families- lots of comfortable beds and bathrooms dedicated to each one. No need to look any further for an amazing place to stay!

Great Outdoors

Really cool property with wadable waters on the Blackfoot river. Accommodations were great and the fire pit was used every night. There is a little road noise during the day but that disappears at night when the stars come out. Overall a really great trip!

Absolute magic

We had the best time at the river house. It is in a perfectly secluded spot, with excellent almost 100% private river frontage. There were several days that we didn't see any other people at all! The scenery, the house, the porch, everything was absolutely perfect. We cant wait to come back. Our dogs were in absolute heaven as well. I don't think any of usbhave ever been so relaxed.

About the host

Hosted by Olivia Frost

Host profile image
The Frost and Betts families have been friends for 40+ years.  Most of our time spent together has been on the rivers and in the mountains of Montana.  Our dads taught us to love and respect the amazing state in which we were raised. Each year we would pack up the truck and head out on our annual Father Daughter camp out.  We fished, floated, learned campfire cooking, how to change a tire and to always respect the Blackfoot River rushing below us.  There wasn’t a year growing up we didn’t stop at the “Big Cow” for a treat after a float, before heading back to campsite for the night.  This is a love we now share with our husbands and a values we are trying to instill in our children.  We still spend summers visiting our “happiest place on earth” together to reset our lives and get back to nature.  Now our kids are making these same kinds of memories together.
