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!

Enjoyable

This property was awesome. Great location, close to eveything we wanted to see. Property owners had a very well stocked home with pretty much everything you might need. Great welcome book with lots of information about the things to do and restaurants in the surrounding area. It was very neat and clean. It was exactly as listed & pictures of the home were exactly as it was. I will definitely stay at this home again the next time I come to Stevensville.

Super clean and comfy the whole fam loved

We came in town for soccer and we loved this cabin. Super clean and well stocked. Loved the backyard games and fire pit. My youngest loved playing baseball outside. The master bed was the most comfy we have ever had with the softest sheets. I think I actually slept better here than at home! Close to river for fishing and to town for take out Would def stay again

Perfect for our family!

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!

AMAZING PLACE TO STAY!

I cannot brag on this particular VRBO enough Pasha was the best host I have ever encountered, and this cabin was the perfect place for my family and myself. Everything that you could possibly need is available at the cabin, and we loved the personal touches left throughout the cabin. We have already discussed coming back to this cozy place in the future. Great for all ages for sure!

Home away from home!

As soon as we arrived we felt the coziness and hospitality that this sweet cabin offers. We were somewhat "weary travelers" and this was a great spot to rest. The beds were cozy and the porches were so inviting. Our kids loved the outdoor yard games! The kitchen and laundry room were stocked well and it truly felt like home.

Got five stars because six wasn’t an option

Second time here and both stays were great. Extremely relaxing and a wonderful way to unplug and recharge. This home was spotless and every want was at our fingertips. Great location yards from the river and five minutes from a store for snacks and all the rid bits you forgot. We will be back again.

Cabin amongst the mountain views

The cabin is superbly decorated with a kitchen supplied with top of the line dishes, utensils and supplies. From the front porch rockers, to the back porch swing, fire pit, yard games, our stay could not have been better. The host Pasha is quick to respond and places many personal touches to your stay. Excellent Host! We would definitely stay at this cabin again.
