The best part of this rental was the location. Right on Gallatin River. Can hear the calmness of the river flowing. With the mountains in the background.

**Perfect Home Base for Exploring the Area**The property was exceptionally clean and exactly as advertised. Its central location made it a perfect home base for everything we wanted to do, including visiting Yellowstone National Park and Virginia City, whitewater rafting, and exploring nearby hiking trails. Communication with the hosts was always quick and easy. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this property!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
Unacceptable cleanliness, misleading photos, and terrible maintenance response. We had an extremely disappointing stay at this VRBO property managed by Stay Montana. When we walked in, the front door opened directly into the primary bedroom, where we were greeted by six or so bags of rotting trash piled in the corner of the small room. Naturally, this attracted numerous large flies throughout the entire cabin. To make matters worse: Severe plumbing issues. The only bathroom had a clogged toilet upon arrival. When we called the contact numbers provided, we were routed to a call service center in the Philippines. It wasn't until 9:30 PM, two days later that local Stay Montana representatives showed up to inspect these issues. On the third day, plumber eventually attempted to fix the toilet, but it still flushes very slowly—stating it was so old he couldn't get it to flush normally. Misleading/Fake Listing Photos: Accessing the "loft" required climbing a ladder in the kitchen, only to find two small mattresses. A Stay Montana employee later admitted these were intended for children because they are too short for average-sized adults. The photo of the loft in the VRBO listing appears to have been AI-generated, as it looked completely different in person. Between the garbage, the fly infestation, the broken plumbing, and the inaccurate listing photos, this property was completely mismanaged. I would NOT recommend booking through Stay Montana based on this experience.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We take cleanliness and maintenance concerns seriously and would like to clarify the steps our team took to address the issues you reported. When you contacted us, we sent a local team member to the property that same evening, arriving around 7:30 PM. She promptly removed the trash and offered assistance with the loft bedding, which was declined. We also arranged for someone to inspect the plumbing concerns. Upon inspection, the toilet was found to be functioning, although it required holding the handle down slightly longer to flush, which can be common in older cabins. We sincerely apologize for the trash left behind upon your arrival, as this is certainly not the standard we expect for our homes. While we understand that these issues impacted your experience, we do want to reassure future guests that our team responded promptly and took action to address the concerns brought to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and regret that we were unable to provide the experience you had hoped for. We will continue working with our local operations team to ensure our homes are properly prepared and maintained for every guest. Best, Stay Montana Management

Awesome Montana Location!

Quaint cabin that was 20 feet from of the river. We came to do a little trout fishing, recharge and relax, sit outside in the evening without bugs and take in the food and people of Big Sky. Mission accomplished! True mountain vacation!

Great stay!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cabin was nice and perfect for 2 people. I did catch fish right behind the cabin but the water was a little fast. There is a bridge about a mile towards Big Sky on the right side of the road, that has great fishing and the river widens a bit and has some nice water! Parachute Adam’s best dry fly ever!

Perfect for Fly Fishing

Two Night Stay in JuneThe cabin is perfect for fly fishing and right on the Gallatin river. Closer to a busy highway, so keep an eye on kids and dogs. Great place to relax and enjoy meals together. Will return. Note: The Wi-Fi is very spotty and only worked a few times, even after re-setting. You can get good service by Big Sky. Bring extra forks and spoons. Only 1 fork and 2 small spoons in the kitchen. Had to run to the store to buy plastic silverware. Everything else in the kitchen was stocked.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear the cabin was a great spot for fly fishing and relaxing by the river. We appreciate the heads-up about the proximity to the highway and the note on keeping an eye on little ones and pets. Your feedback on the Wi-Fi and kitchen utensils is incredibly helpful—we’ll be sure to address both to improve the experience for future guests. We’re happy to hear you’d like to return and would love to welcome you back for another peaceful stay on the Gallatin!

Small Little Cabin

Overall it was a good place to stay! A few notes to point out. The ceiling fan looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time, maybe years, yikes! So we made sure to leave that off the time we stayed. The bed in the bedroom was not very comfortable so we stayed up in the loft area and enjoyed the coziness up there. The bathroom was clean, bed linens/sheets and towels were all clean, the kitchen area was clean as well as the appliances and the cookware. We did not use the grill as it was questionable on its cleanliness, and the wire brush to clean it wouldn’t have helped much. Coffee maker, (not a keurig) so make sure to bring coffee grounds! We would stay again but maybe not so many nights (we stayed 3), it seems best for just an over night spot, because it is small. Bonus, it’s on the river with beautiful views.

We loved staying in this cabin. We had a wonderful time!! You also allowed us to stay an additional night!The property listing said there would be a dishwasher. Not that we needed it. I just thought you might like to change that on your listing. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cabin!!!!
