About this property

Mountain Retreat on the Continental Divide!

Beautiful setting off the beaten path just above Marysville MT. Property offers a new log frame queen bed, rustic interior decor. Studio layout with a bathroom and shower. Very large deck with new propane grill with excellent view of the mountains! In addition to queen bed the property has a small couch/ futon that turns into small bed and a small roll away is available if needed. The property does not have a oven/ range but offers an outside grill, coffee makers, fridge, microwave and small toaster oven. This property is perfect for a couple traveling through the area or a relaxing vacation in the mountains. Located about 22 miles northwest of Helena MT, Marysville is a historic mining town from the late 1800’s. Mining has ended here but plenty of golden opportunities are still to be found. This retreat is located at the base of the Great Divide Ski Area that offers excellent skiing on Mount Belmont. Marysville area is known for lots of public access on forest service and block management lands. The Continental divide trail is just a mile away! Mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing both downhill and cross country. Lots of wildlife and many trails to explore on skis, bikes, quads, or snowmobile. Marysville also offers the historic Marysville steak house bar and restaurant to enjoy a great steak dinner after a long day in the outdoors. Very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing setting, and now we have WiFi! Great Divide Ski Area lift tickets available as a “Ski and Stay” special! Please message me for details!!

    Relaxing cozy cabin in quiet mountain town

    Our experience was exactly why we use VRBO: responsive owner who provided pristine accommodations and helpful suggestions in a location we likely wouldn't have found otherwise. Brian was a great host, the cabin offers great mountain views and nearby hiking opportunities, and our yellow lab left the cabin relaxed and rejuvenated (along with her owners).

    Amazing Cabin

    This is the perfect place to get away! No noise, no traffic, just open mountain air. Brian has everything in the cabin you could ever need and was attentive to us. The cabin was extremely clean and cozy, we sat on the deck and enjoyed watching deer and hummingbirds. Marysville House had delicious food and friendly people. I highly recommend to anyone wanting a mountain retreat!

    Hidden gem - quiet with gorgeous views

    My husband and I spent a relaxing couple of days at the cabin after dropping my bonus daughter at college. We checked out Helena and the Gates of the Mountains (beautiful!), enjoyed hikes and had a delicious steak dinner on the patio at the Marysville House. The view from the cabin is gorgeous, and our favorite evening was topped off with a beer on the deck with 180 degree+ views. Brian was helpful and responsive. We hope to return again next year!

    New Year's Magic

    LOVED staying here. We are locals and this was still an incredible getaway. Marysville oozes history and even being an "almost-ghost-mining-town" has a lot of worth, including a fantastic restaurant and fun ski mountain, Great Divide. Brain's cabin is situated in a beautifully secluded spot above Marysville with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and Great Divide. The cabin is really private and sublimely quiet. We stayed New Years weekend and Great Divide did an awesome firework display in tandem with magical torch ski parade. It was COLD, yet lots of brave souls swished their way down the main run with glowing-red torches in hand. It was a magical sight from the cabin. The cabin does not have a cooking range (which is mentioned in the listing), but had more than expected amenities (including a toaster stove & hot plate). And there were unexpected thoughtful accents, like hot chocolate bombs and wine. Our only "complaint" (if you could call it that) is that there was too much stuff in the space. We had trouble finding space to set our own belongings, so I would recommend either doing a storage solution or just omitting some of the non-essentials. The bed was super comfortable and the entire space was inviting. Loved that they allowed dogs - thank you for that, Brian! And Brian was nothing short of amazing. He was always incredibly fast in his responses and he was genuinely thoughtful and considerate in every aspect. He is one of those hosts that really cares. We will be back, if he'll have us!

    Vacation at Marysville

    Brian’s place in the hill above Marysville is wonderful. If you like solitude, quiet, and beautiful scenery you can’t beat this cozy cabin. Brian and the people we met in Marysville were all so nice and the town was very interesting. I would recommend this place to anyone that would like to get away and enjoy. We both wish we could’ve stayed longer! Lori and Larry Bergum Conover WI

    Beautiful mountainside cabin in an (almost) ghost town

    I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Brian, as we were in an out while it was still light outside and didn’t get back until late in the evening after exploring around Helena. But my communications with him through VRBO were excellent and the cabin was even better than described. It’s a beautiful place, super comfortable, and I only wish we had spent more than a single night there. Hopefully will get back up that way one day.
