Where beautiful scenery is unavoidable! Fly-fishing, hiking/family time w/pets!

As members of the stressed human race, you can come to Ennis and repair. Travel to Southwest Montana and enjoy the great outdoors where “you can swing your elbows and your mind” with plenty of open spaces and experience a town ranked as one of the “Top 10 Cowboy towns in America”! Groceries, take out and dine in restaurant food and gas are plentiful as is beef jerky and local whisky. Montana entrances to Yellowstone are wide open (get there early) so enjoy hours at our beautiful national park. If something happens and you need to reschedule, your credit is good with us. We are offering senior citizen (65+) and military discounts- knock an item off your bucket list and come and enjoy quality family time while schools are on-line. WiFi is great for working from the cabin.

Yellowstone National Park - a short beautiful drive awaits you from our home to the best park in the US! Take 287 south for about 70 miles to the park's west entrance. Yellowstone is the classic national park, featuring iconic sites such as Old Faithful and the planet's biggest concentration of geysers. Be sure to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Area, a hotbed of constantly changing geothermal formations. See grizzly bears, bison, elk and wolves and fly fish inside the park (a real treat!)

Go Ghostbusters! Take a day and visit the #1 Tourist Destination in Montana - the best preserved ghost towns in the US: Nevada City and Virginia City. These towns house a collection of 19th century buildings and Americana, including more than 100 arcade and music machines. Reserve tickets for Virginia City's bawdy Brewery Follies or family-friendly Virginia City Players shows.

Big Fun! Drive to Four Corners from our home, then head south to Big Sky Resort, an all-season playground with four mountains. If there's snow, ski snowboard, sled, snowshoe, or skate. In warmer weather, go ziplining, hike Lone Mountain, jump on the bungee trampoline, or scale the climbing wall.

Great Business Trip
I recently had a work project in Ennis and found this great property for a couple of us to stay at. Layout of the place is amazing, great views and fantastic place for large groups and families. Property owner was great to message with and I wait to come back again! Montana is amazing.

amazing home and location!
We spent a family vacation here with our 4 young kids. Ages 6, 4, 2, and 6 months. The home has tons of space inside to play and so much outdoor space to roam. It’s so peaceful and quiet. The scenery is just gorgeous. Andy was a very responsive and kind host to us. We would love to come back!!

Great Location & Views!
We had a wonderful stay at this home on our recent visit to Ennis. This is a great set up for a large family or a couple wanting everything on one level. The owners left us lots of snacks and the kitchen had absolutely EVERYTHING we needed to cook with. Stunning views off both decks and situated very close to Ennis.

Beautiful area
The views are beautiful. We enjoyed our stay, in this large comfortable house. The only hiccup was the next door neighbor allow their dogs to run free including into this yard. Since we had two dogs this was a bit frustrating. The owners were very kind and helpful.

Ennis Getaway
Enjoyed a long weekend in Ennis with our son who lives in Missoula....We fished the Madison, Beaverhead and a few other rivers....saw lots of elk, deer, antelope. The cabin was beautiful and very comfortable for our stay. Had a couple of meals at the Gravel Bar in Ennis which was very good and took an evening dip in the Norris Hot Springs. Andy and Vicki are very helpful and eager to make your stay a great one! Would love to come back!

Just as advertised and even better
Our first trip to Montana was made even better by our accommodations. The house was just as we expected - comfortable, well-equipped, and we loved both the front and the back porch. It was close enough to town and entertainment while also giving us complete privacy for our rowdy family games. We had two concerns during our stay both of which were responded to immediately by the owners. Thank you, Bergman's!

Madison River Valley cabin
Very nice cabin in beautiful valley. Lots of mockingbirds, antilop, eagles to watch. Ever changing cloud patterns against the Gallatin Mountains are lovely viewing. Lots of other things to do other than fly fishing. Cabin was very airy and nicely appointed. Room for all. Probably enjoyed the quiet and just watching the clouds roll by the most.

Nice home
The home was well stocked, area was quiet. It is in somewhat of a subdivision but plenty of room. the only difficulty was maintaining the temp. It was really hot during our stay and the room air and fan didn't do alot. The loft with the portable AC was helpful. When the nights started to cool, opening windows also helped.

Way better than anticipated!!
It was better than described and pictures did not do it justice! The kitchen is stocked to the brim! Two refrigerators even!! We spent every evening on the back porch enjoying the view and libations. If we got coole just go to from porch and enjoy the evening sunset! Best of both worlds! The fishing was awesome thru Madison River Fly Fishing!! Will be back and stay NO WHERE else!!

Wonderful Stay!
This was a lovely place to stay where we got to see lots of wildlife around! Antelope galore and moose sightings by Ennis Lake! Our 4 legged partner in crime loved the property and being able to play fetch in the yard everyday! He also loved watching the horses across the street from the front door! Andy was super responsive before booking, after booking and upon arriving. Quickly answered questions and was available for anything we needed! The only ”downfall” to this place is there is no privacy between the master bedroom and the door to go downstairs or to the main bathroom. If your staying with a group of close friends or family like we were this won’t be a big problem! The location is super convenient to be far enough away from a lot of activities if you crave quietness but is a short ride away from in town where there are lots of good places to eat and explore.

Spent christmas with daughter that lives in Ennis
It was perfect in every way. Conversation with Andy (owner) was easy. His response was very quick. We went there to spend xmas with our daughter who lives in Ennis. We had christmas on christmas eve with her and husband. The house was clean and very comfy! Andy and his son came to the property, he showed me his train car he will be restoring. My Dad had a Kaboose in the yard, we had something in common. We looked at several locations to spend xmas in Montana, could not be happier with the entire process. Extremely happy with our decision to stay at this property. if there was a negative, it was the drive from Pittsburg New Hampshire to Ennis Montana. That was our choice!! Would definitely contact Andy to stay again, no doubt probably will in the future.

Amazing Montanan Stay!
We rented this fun cabin for Presidents Day weekend. We took our married kids and our grandchildren for a fun and memorable long weekend stay. Our oldest child lives in Ennis, MT so we had an excellent tour guide. This cabin had the perfect amount of beds with warm and comfortable bedding. The kids loved the bunk beds and it was nice that 2 of the bottom bunks were full beds so they had some supervision. We spent our gathering time in the basement playing board and card games while the kids played on their top bunks (pirates, house, ect.). Having a kitchen and bathroom downstairs made it convenient. No running up and down the stairs! They have a rocker downstairs as well, so we traded off rocking the baby and watching TV. My Daughter and Daughter-in-law started reading one of the books off the bookshelf during nap time and loved it so much that they bought it to finish at home. The main kitchen was perfect! It had the right pots and pans for our needs. Loved the big table for all of us to eat together. The master bath was a huge hit with the big claw tub! This cabin is decorated in a homey style that makes you feel comfortable and at home. The Bergmans are fantastic hosts! They checked in on us to make sure that everything was going ok and we were having a good time.

Great house close to town
I spent two weeks staying in this house. We were very comfortable and close enough to town to go eat ot have a beer anytime we felt like it. I had a couple questions about stuff while i was there and the owner was very quick to respond every tine. He even gave us some fishing spot recommendations close by. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook ans there were plenty of bed linens. I would definitely stay here again.
