Disappointed with surroundings
While the cabin itself was in good operating order and clean, we were surprised by the outside surroundings. The grounds around the outside, especially the side and back (where the fire pit was located), were not in good order. It was not private. The unkept neighbor cabins were very close by. The thin window curtains didn’t help. We just want to bring to light what the pictures do not reveal. If those things don’t bother you, you will probably enjoy the cabin and being right along the river will be nice for you. It just wasn’t for us and decided to leave 3 days early.

Awesome
We loved the cabin and the location. It was very quiet. There is a small resort across the river but we hardly noticed. Also, it’s close to a lot of amazing hiking trails, whitewater rafting, and fishing. Highly recommend!

A Perfect Retreat in Gallatin Range
Our stay at this cabin in the Gallatin Range was nothing short of spectacular. Perched above the river and surrounded by majestic mountains, it offered the perfect tranquility and natural beauty blend. Just a 45-minute drive from West Yellowstone, it was an ideal base for our visits to Yellowstone National Park. The cabin was cozy and inviting, providing a peaceful escape from the noise and stress of everyday life. We could fully unwind, listening only to the sounds of nature. The views from the cabin were breathtaking, with the pristine river below and the towering peaks around us. Suppose you're looking for a serene getaway to immerse yourself in nature while still being close enough to explore Yellowstone. In that case, this is the place to be. We left feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated, already planning our return!

Overall, a great stay
Right on the river with a fantastic view and good fishing. There was a little more traffic noise than I expected, but not bad. It is a tighter fit than expected and could benefit from a few things in the kitchen, an arm chair or couch and resupply of trash bags with a larger can for longer stays like ours. In general, it was great, and the price was right. If I ever get to go back, it is on my short list of places to stay!

Loved everything about it!!!!
Our stay at this cabin was freaking awesome. We stayed from june 16th till the 22nd. Had a light dusting of snow the first couple days which just added to the beauty of the surrounding area. The cabin was rustic and set the vibe for the celebration of my wife and I's 10th wedding anniversary. We fell in love with that place!!! Was about a 45 mintue drive to west yellowstone, and about an hour to Bozeman. 15 minites or so to Big Sky. We used it as our home base to explore Yellowstone National Park and many other places. 100% recommend!!!

Great cabin
My husband and I stayed for 5 nights and 4 days and we LOVED it. It was just the right size. It stayed warm the entire time with no drafts which was great since it snowed for 3 of those days. The sounds of the river flowing was very peaceful. The location is great-about 10 minutes from Big Sky and 45 from West Yellowstone. The bridge to get to the cabin looks very rickety but was actually very sturdy. We definitely would stay again.

Yellowstone Adventure
My husband and I stayed here for a week visiting Yellowstone. It made a great home base. Plenty of amenities and a great view out the front window. It was perfect for our trip! Full disclosure: It needs a deep clean, but it was clean in the every day used areas (bed, kitchen, bathroom). There is no comfortable place to sit except the bed.

Amazing Little Cabin
This is a great little place. Beautiful view out in the front deck. Could have used a TV for background noise but it was a nice change. Would stay again. Feel like a true Montana stay rather than at a resort that feel corporate.

Love this cozy little cabin!
This cabin was great for a 5 day, 4 night stay. About a 24 minute drive to Big Sky resort. The cabin is located across the river from the parking area, and you have to cross a bridge by foot, but it's not a very long walk. Beautiful river view out of the front window. The heater was responsive and everything was functional and tidy. I would definitely stay again!

Understanding Host
We had a family emergency and had to leave after the first night. Natalie was extremely understanding, thoughtful and accommodating. The ceiling height of the cabin, specifically the bed area is low, my husband is 6’4, it was challenging.

Gorgeous little cabin!
This place is so beautiful in winter. There's a little big open window that overlooks the river and a cute loft with two extra mattresses. There's also a wood burning stove which was perfect for a cozy winter night. While this location was perfect for me and my boyfriend, is that this would not be a good place for anyone who is handicapped. There was some deep snow to hike through leading up to the lodge. But again, that was great for us since we were there to ski big sky! Overall BEAUTIFUL lodge on a river.

We loved the simplicity of this rustic property. We didn’t need more than it offered, and we liked being so close to the river. The price was reasonable and the daily drive to Big Sky was not a problem at all.

What we were looking for
Very nice property. Good location to Big Sky and Yellowstone. Quiet area. Bridge that gets you to the property is a little concerning but does its job. Loved the river and the calmness there. No TV but that is ok you don't really need it Wish there was maybe a cozier seating option in the cabin. Great kitchen and very comfortable bed. Slept great!
