This was a perfect place for a romatic honeymoon! Loved the close proximity to wilderness to explore, and the abundance of wildlife in the yard (we've never been so close to deer that werent the least bit concerned about us). This is a place we would love to return to in the spring or summer months.

The cabin is very comfortable and peaceful. We had a feeling of serenity while we were there. The access road was short and easy to negotiate. Our visit was in summer, so the days were warm and the nights were cool. Air conditioning (and heating) were available, but we did not need them. We did run the ceiling fan to even out the temperature. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were clean and adequate for our visit. The cabin is in an area where wild animals live, so be sure to remove items from your vehicle that would attract wildlife. We emptied our glove box, console and hidey holes of attractors like gum, mints, lotion, and creams. An empty grocery bag or two will come in handy.We enjoyed meeting and visiting with our hosts, although host interaction is not necessary. Still, we were fortunate to hear more about the property and find out more about the area. Wild deer wandered through daily, grazing and looking for water. We would stay again when we are in the area.

Beautiful Cabin in Beautiful Northwest Montana

We loved our visit to the Yaak River and Kootenai Forest, and the ShaBear was a beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed seeing the deer and RB and Sha were great hosts. They know the area well and recommended several places for us to see in the area.

Wonderful Stay!

Our time at the Sha Bear cabin was the most relaxing we ever had. Very peaceful, quiet, and the cabin was very clean and comfortable. Beautifully decorated with all the amenities. The day trips to Troy and Libby and also exploring the mountain roads was so much fun. We stayed 7 days and hope to return again. The owners are wonderful.
