Is was won of the most memorable stays my husband and I been to. Our host Jennifer got back to us immediately. Couldn’t ask for more. Couldn’t believe how clean, beautiful and cool the inside was for being such an old log cabin. We will never forget our stay! Thank you for making our vacation one of a kind.

We were in town for a family event and had a lovely stay at this historic cabin. What made it extra special were the old knick knacks and pictures hanging on the walls. The property was easy to find, had comfortable beds, and a beautiful view of the lake from the deck of the cabin. I would stay again next time I'm in town.

Perfect home

We really enjoyed the grounds and the cabin itself. Only downside was no curtains on the upstairs window so that meant getting up with the sun. House was very clean and comfortable.

Lakeside Memories

I found this listing when I was looking for somewhere unique to stay for my man's birthday and wow did I find it! When you walk in you feel like you truly step back in time. It is clear that this family owned cabin is lovingly cared for. The accommodations are extremely comfortable and clean and have all the amenities you could want. We spent 4 days fishing and came back each night to cook and relax on the deck with spectacular views of the lake. We ended our last night having dinner with friends and then a glass of wine in front of the fire. I absolutely could not have chosen a more perfect spot to make so many great memories!

The cabin/house was as described, a very neat old cabin/house. Great location and views. Nice property.Issue was house has a serve bat infestation, there are I would guess at a minimum 50 bats living in the soffits at front porch & in the 2nd floor attic space and walls. At nights we counted up to 50 coming out of cracks in soffit, then had to go back inside as they were flying all around your head. Also found large amounts of bat guano in drawers that are in the walls of 2nd floor room to use as storage for clothes etc. You can hear the bats in the walls during the daytime and the smell of bat guano and their urine is very, very strong throughout the 2nd floor of the house and depending on how hot the day is you can smell it downstairs also. Very unhealthy conditions and they need a major remediation done. To keep from major damage to the house.If it was not for the major bat issue, I would have rated this house high, as stated above, very neat old cabin/house and great location. The rest of the house was clean. But that many bats is not good. We let the owner know about the issue the first day we were there, they sent their property manager over to clean the guano out of the drawers and remove a section of the large window upstairs and put in a screen. Which helped more fresh air get in but did nothing on bat removal, as it will need a very in-depth remodel and removal of insulation, walls etc.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 July 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your stay coincided with an unexpected increase in bat activity. Our cabin is a historic Montana property and while bats are common in this area during the summer months, this level of activity was unusual and certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. As soon as you notified us we responded by sending our property manager to clean the affected area and improve ventilation. We also gave you a 30% refund on your stay. We have also been working with wildlife professionals on a long-term exclusion and remediation plan to permanently address the issue while complying with Montana wildlife regulations, which limit when bats can be excluded from a roost. We're grateful that you pointed out that you enjoyed the cabin itself and the beautiful location. We take all guest feedback seriously and are committed to maintaining both the character of this historic cabin and a comfortable experience for our guests.

Most Unique Stay EVER

This historic cabin has it all, charm, a killer view, comfort, and a great location. Our host was so accomodating and interesting. The cabin is furnished with some amazing antiques. We made great use of the wrap-around deck and huge BBQ grill. The cabin does not have AC, but we stayed in late July, and between a swamp cooler and many provided fans, it was comfortable. We saw an abundance of wildlife: friendly deer, chipmunks, birds and bats. We even got to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie being filmed on-site - it was so interesting. We were a group of 6 friends and highly recommend this cabin.

We rented all three cabins for a family get together and absolutely loved it! It was a perfect place to sleep comfortably, gather when we wanted, lounge on the huge deck to catch up and cook family meals in the main house. I highly recommend it!

Excellent property that is right across the street from the lake and close enough to local eateries or 15 mins to Helena. We had the most relaxed and pleasurable experience. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise and the lake breeze. Highly recommend.

This is a great cozy cabin and exactly what you think a Montana cabin should be. The fireplace was beautiful and inviting, deer browsed in the yard, overall relaxing with a great claw-foot soaking tub. Heaven.
