About this property
Knotty but Nice by the Bitterroot!
Kick off your boots and enjoy a one of a kind, newly renovated, & professionally designed cozy cabin getaway across the street from the gorgeous Bitterroot River, a blue ribbon trout stream! Better yet, grab your canoe and pole to test your luck with some fishing. How about a scenic bike ride from the cabin taking you along the river to the historic downtown Stevensville area, Montana's oldest town home to small shop boutiques and delicious local foods. For snow lovers, we’re minutes away from the spectacular Lolo pass, and Lost Trail ski areas.
As you enter the house, you are greeted with a rustic comfortable atmosphere and exposed log beams. The home is bright and inviting. The open living room, dining room and kitchen has two bedrooms off to the side along with a bathroom. Behind the kitchen is a large mud room/laundry. The upstairs loft is one large master suite with a scenic balcony where you can enjoy the majestic views of the Bitterroot Mountains along with your morning coffee.
The Stevensville boat launch is just a mile away, & just across the river is the Lee Metcalf wildlife refuge where you can fish, hunt, birdwatch and hike.
Whether you come to relax, explore the great outdoors, or just get away & work away from home you will leave rejuvenated, refreshed with unforgettable memories.
So get the real Montana experience by staying in a log cabin!

We have been staying at this house for 4 years now and it is perfect. We love the location of the house and all of the amenities the house has. We travel with kids and they enjoy the yard and the fire pit.
We enjoyed the beautiful cabin and all the extras. It was super- clean and furnished beautifully. Communication with Pasha was great and we will certainly recommend her spot to our friends!
Property was cozy, clean and very welcoming! Great location! My family really enjoyed all the yard games and loved fishing in the river. We would definitely stay again!
We had a fantastic stay at this home. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with almost everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The kitchen was especially well-equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and we appreciated all the little touches that made the place feel welcoming and well cared for.The location was good. Check in and check out was easy. Pasha went out of her way to get us into the home when we had to abruptly evacuate our other vacation rental. One thing to note: if you’re on the taller side, be mindful of the lower ceilings in certain areas of the home. It wasn’t a major issue, but it’s something to keep in mind for comfort. My husband is 6’5” and it was a bit tricky in spots.Overall, a wonderful stay in a well-appointed space—we’d definitely recommend it.
Our hosts went over and above to make our stay extremely enjoyable…even supplying the Dutch oven I needed for my bolognese sauce!Would highly recommend both the accommodations & Pasha & David as hosts. However, if any of the guests are 6’-8” tall there may be a bit of ducking & a fly swatter would be nice.
This place is a gem. Not far from Missoula, many Bitterroot Forest trails, and so much more. The cabin was the perfect size for our family with a lovely deck and porch for lounging. The backyard had wonderful green grass and a great fire pit for cool Montana evenings. They thought of everything.
Very nice!! We loved the drive along the river when coming back to it each day. It had everything we wanted or needed and then some. Will definitely stay here again when visiting family!
Everything was perfect!! We had a blast and the place was so cozy! Loved the fireplace as we hung out and chatted! We loved the entire property and could have stayed all month!

Jyndia we’re so glad you had a wonderful time! It was a pleasure to host you & your friends.
Our number one priority is that our guests have a great experience & make memories!
We look forward to having you stay with us again!
My son and his fam live 10 minutes away from the house so it is perfect us to come and go. There are so many yard games and the fire pit for evenings and we even used the bbq pit this time. Everything was perfect!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to return in the future. The home is perfectly situated for many outdoor activities and is very close to downtown Stevensville. The house is beautifully appointed in every way. It was very neat and clean. The owners clearly take pride in their home. Thanks to Pasha and David for sharing their property with us!
Super Cute!! Well taken care of with many amenities for a great stay with family. Quiet country setting and also close to grocery store and local charm. Our grandkids loved the bunk beds!!
Thanks Pasha and David… we will definitely be back
My granddaughter and I really enjoyed our stay! This property is not only beautiful but very clean and welcoming from the moment you arrive. Everything you need to make you feel at home and comfortable.
I highly recommend!
