About this property

Nestled in the heart of the scenic Swan Valley, between the majestic Mission and Swan Mountains and next to the Bob Marshall Wilderness, this cozy, well-equipped cabin combines rustic charm with modern conveniences. Enjoy starry nights and the rush and tumble of Piper Creek from the covered front porch.

From hiking or fishing, to riding or relaxing, everything you could wish for is here. Try your luck in nearby rivers and lakes, or set out from any of the many mountain lake trailheads. The property includes a coral and fenced pasture so you can bring your horses.

More on this special location: The cabin is located 37 miles north of Seeley Lake or 15 miles south of Swan Lake on Highway 83, and is surrounded by national forest and wilderness areas.

The Swan River offers superb fishing for rainbow trout and brown trout, and is only 1/4 mile from the cabin. Cast a fly for Bull, Cutthroat, Rainbow or Brook Trout in nearby creeks and lakes. Several boating lakes are within 30 minutes of the cabin.

Nearby trailheads: Piper Lake (2mi), Cold Lake (5mi), Lion Creek, Glacier Lake, Ducharme Lake, and Holland Falls.

Huckleberry picking is great in late July-August!

Secluded and Peaceful

This location was wonderful. Tucked back from the world, private & peaceful. The cabin had everything we needed, was clean and comfy. It sits at the edge of a babbling creek, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We had a few meals at the Hungry Bear restaurant in the area, food & service were great. Visited Glacier NP, Nat'l Bison Range, Holland Falls, Miracle of America's Musuem and so much more. We would certainly stay in this cabin again and highly recommend it to another traveler. Thanks for sharing your wonderful property with us.

Tranquil Cabin experience

The property owners have made their cabin an incredibly comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. One bed on main, and two in the loft. A nimble adult could definitely occupy a bed in the loft, too. Fully stocked with anything you might need, including games, utensils, coffee maker, BBQ, fire pit and firewood, and a crystal-clear stream just a few feet from the covered porch. We spent six days, making trips to Glacier NP (1.5 hrs), Whitefish (1.25), Polebridge (drove ATVs from Whitefish and back, four+ hrs), Hungry Horse Reservoir (1.25) and Kalispell (one hour). But, we also explored closer to the cabin, and fished the local rivers, found a stunning lake (Van Lake), and discovered (sadly) that several locally advertised lakes were walk in only, and we were not prepared to hike. (I bet they were beautiful). Our evenings were spent on the porch or by the creek making s'mores. So quiet, private and serene, that time just slipped away. We didn't get to bed until midnight every night. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful Cabin

This cabin is secluded and everything we were looking for, and had everything we needed. The creek was an amazing backdrop for our vacation. Would love to stay here again with our family

Few places are set up so well for horses and offer such proximity to trails and wilderness areas. Scott is familiar with them all, so be sure to ask if you're considering a vacation with your equine partners.
