Fly fishing guides come to fish here n their days off when we are at the house! Custom house on 10 acres. Don’t be surprised to see deer, ducks and geese nudging their way near the deck, or a bear eating huckleberries along the river in the early morning. If you are especially quiet and observant, the hundred thousand acres of ranch across the river have antelope, bear, goats and even a rare bobcat or mountain lion. Help yourself to the library, watch satellite television or DVD movies, or read from the house’s library. Full size pool table ... Only few miles from the Missouri Inn over the bridge where the Untouchables was filmed, enjoy the canyon or visit the Lewis and Clark’s Tower Rock and surrounding park. From your base, drive south to Yellowstone, northwest to Glacier Park, or to the continent’s largest dinosaur digs. Float the Lewis and Clark Trail by pontoon boat and lunch at the island where one of the nation's most famous fire occurred, or "ride the rails" with Europeans. there is gambling, but it isn't in your face if you want to avoid it. Hike with tremendous rock views, or enjoy the new, custom kitchen and fisherman’s décor. In the evening, BBQ, use the fire pit, hang on the deck and watch the sunset, then take your pick of three spacious bedrooms where extra long beds await. ## Commodités de l’hébergement ### Ski - Ski de fond à proximité ### Piscine/spa - Baignoire à remous ### Internet - Disponible dans la maison : Wi-Fi gratuit ### Stationnement et transport - Voiture nécessaire - Stationnement sur place ### Cuisine - Batterie de cuisine, vaisselle et couverts - Bouilloire électrique - Cafetière-théière - Casserole de homard ou de crabe - Épices - Four - Four à micro-ondes - Grille-pain - Îlot de cuisine - Lave-vaisselle - Machine à glaçons - Moulin à café - Réfrigérateur - Surface de cuisson ### Restauration - Table de salle à manger ### Chambres - 4 chambres - Canapé-lit - Draps fournis ### Salle de bain - 2 salles de bain - Baignoire ou douche - Douche - Papier de toilette - Savon - Séchoir à cheveux - Serviettes fournies - Shampooing ### Lieux de séjour - Poêle à bois - Salle de séjour - Table de salle à manger ### Divertissement - Chaîne audio - Jeux - Lecteur de DVD - Livres - Musicothèque - Téléviseur connecté avec chaînes par câble/satellite - Vidéothèque ### Espaces extérieurs - Balcon - Barbecue - Foyer - Jardin - Meubles extérieurs ### Buanderie - Installations de buanderie - Laveuse ### Espaces de travail - Bureau - Chaise de bureau ### Confort - Chauffage - Climatisation ### Animaux de compagnie - Animaux de compagnie acceptés - Chiens acceptés uniquement - Jusqu’à 50 livres par animal ### Accessibilité - Si vous avez des besoins particuliers en matière d’accessibilité, veuillez communiquer avec l’hébergement à l’aide des renseignements contenus dans la confirmation reçue après la réservation. - Chambre adaptée aux personnes à mobilité réduite - Hébergement non-fumeurs - Commentaire de l’hôte : smoke on the deck with closed windows, not inside ### Services et commodités - Entretien ménager sur demande - Téléphone ### Points d’intérêt de l’endroit - À proximité d’une rivière - Dans les montagnes - En zone rurale - Hôpital à proximité - Sur la rive - Zoo à proximité ### Activités - Bateau - Golf - Kayak - Table de billard - Baignade à proximité - Casino à proximité - Chasse à proximité - Descente en eau vive à proximité - Écotourisme à proximité - Équitation à proximité - Escalade de rocher à proximité - Excursions d’observation de la faune à pied à proximité - Glissade sur chambre à air aquatique à proximité - Golf à proximité - Kayak à proximité - Motomarine à proximité - Motonautisme à proximité - Motoneige à proximité - Observation d’oiseaux à proximité - Paravoile à proximité - Parois d’escalade à proximité - Pêche à proximité - Sentiers de randonnée ou de vélo à proximité - Vélo de montagne à proximité ### Dispositifs de sécurité - Détecteur de monoxyde de carbone (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone dans l’hébergement.) - Détecteur de fumée (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de fumée dans l’hébergement.) - Trousse de premiers soins - Extincteur - Verrou de sûreté ### Information générale - Entretien ménager (sur demande) - Hébergement situé dans un complexe - Jardin - Taille de l’unité : 2 200 pieds carrés ## Hébergements similaires ![Téléviseur, foyer, lecteur de DVD, chaîne audio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37240000/37239700/37239641/d7c93581.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best Location on the MIssouri River Cascade - Cuisine - Laveuse - Sécheuse - Animaux de compagnie acceptés 9,6 Exceptionnel 88 avis [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=37239641&PinnedHotelID=37239641&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrain de l’hébergement ](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34400000/34394400/34394388/e69388f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dearborn River Log Cabin with 3/4 mi River Frontage & 72 Acres to Roam Cascade - Cuisine - Animaux de compagnie acceptés - Espace extérieur - Stationnement disponible 10 Exceptionnel 81 avis [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=34394388&PinnedHotelID=34394388&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Réfrigérateur, four à micro-ondes, un four, surface de cuisson](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87920000/87919800/87919733/c0c399ba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great river access for boat or wade fishing and a quite river spot.

This was a guy's fishing vacation with two sons and grandson. The best part was sitting out on deck under the night sky talking, laughing and sipping Montana wiskey. The house propvided the perfect setting for this to happen. ##### Gary W.

Séjour de 4 nuits en mai 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Robert B. 8 mai 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Great spot ! Remote and perfect spot for our annual fly trip to Craig. Thank you! ##### Robert B. Séjour de 4 nuits en mai 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Sefton I. 17 sept. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### True Montana Cabin My brother and I took our father to Montana on a fishing trip as a gift for his 80th birthday. This place was remote and spacious with a pool table and satellite internet to boot! The owners provided lots of great information on how to get there and where to find groceries, etc. They even gave me some tips on what flies to use for our time there! The place was clean and was the best stocked VRBO house I’ve ever rented. Be sure you follow the advice to get a 4wd vehicle to get there. The airport rental agencies couldn’t promise us that we would get 4wd so we used the Turo app to find a private owner to rent a car from. The trout are in the pool right in front of this place. Magical. ##### Sefton I. Séjour de 4 nuits en septembre 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Matthew S. 21 août 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Rugged riverside cabin What a wonderful stay! The cabin was extremely accommodating and clean. It had all the amenities that one would figure they would have at their own home. As they warn numerous of times, the road and drive way to the cabin is rugged and I would say a 4x4 vehicle of some type is REQUIRED to get to, but fortunately we were prepared. It took around 10-15 minutes to reach the cabin from the highway as you have to go SLOW as you traverse the mountains to get to the cabin. Some parts of the road have some steep, but breath taking views! Just be aware of this and you will have no problem. Donna was extremely responsive when we had questions regarding river access and making sure we weren't trespassing on nearby properties. (It wasn't an issue and we had full access to the Dearborn River and additional access in different locations of the Dearborn with a permission slip from the owners, incredible!) Be sure to read their letter they send when you book thoroughly, it covers all of your questions. The only thing to be aware is that in the photos, you don't see (or its hard to see) additional houses near the cabin. Just be advised that there are 4 additional cabins/ residences "nearby" but definitely not in close proximity. If you're looking for a cabin in extreme isolation, this is ALMOST that, but with some neighbors no closer than 100 yards or further, just to be mindful of. Overall it was a great stay for myself and family for a guys fishing trip! ##### Matthew S. Séjour de 5 nuits en août 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Kathleen S. 8 juill. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Wow! This was our second time staying at this property, and again, we were blown away by how beautiful it was! We loved to spend time each day fishing and swimming in the river! Each evening we had deer to watch as we sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the landscape! Can't wait to return again! Thank you!!!! ##### Kathleen S. Séjour de 6 nuits en juillet 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### tyler s. 15 juin 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Hidden Gem This place is was great. The property is absolutely incredible. Its truly a unique experience. We had zero issues with anything, and Donna was great to work with. We will definitely be back in the future. ##### tyler s.

Séjour de 5 nuits en mai 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Tanner M. 1 oct. 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Fishing trip House was great,close to fishing! ##### Tanner M. Séjour de 5 nuits en septembre 2022 ### 2/10 – Terrible #### Dave s. 12 sept. 2022 Points faibles : Propreté #### 50-Year Veterans Fishing Reunion Ruined! I would give this property and the owners a ZERO if I could. In my opinion, Donna the owner who lives back East and her husband Dave remind me of used car salesmen. They will tell you anything to get your money! They knew how important that this fishing reunion was to me and my Veterans, but they over promised and under delivered - Big Time! The owner Dave made numerous statements how good the fishing is in the river behind his cabin. His VRBO listing has a video that shows a lot of good size fish being caught but according to his wife, Donna the video was made by a production company and the owners are not responsible for the content. However, it sure made us feel that we could expect the same quality of fish. After four highly skilled fishermen fished up and down the river right behind their cabin for 11 miles, a total of four fish were caught. All of the fish were less than five inches long except for the "big one" which was eight-inches. As for the main cabin, well the bedrooms in the loft area are not private. They open to living & dining rooms. The DVD player did not work. The owners told us that using their wifi would work for our cell phones. Nope! Only for T-Mobile. As for the condition of the main cabin when we opened the pantry closet in the kitchen it was clear that that have had or have mice as there was a chewed bag of mice bait poison on the shelf next to cooking pans. We have pictures. A large frying pan in the cabinets were covered in old grease. We have pictures. The smaller cabin was littered in both live and dead insects. It looked like it had not been cleaned in weeks. There were two spiderwebs with live spiders - one of which had the marking of a black-widow. I have pictures. When I contacted Donna she sent the house cleaner back out to I thought clean the entire small cabin of bugs but no! She only cleaned a few areas of dead bugs.. Back to the main cabin,,, on Saturday while cooking dinner a mouse came out of an opening under the kitchen cabinets. He ran around and ran back into the cabinet. I have pictures. I contacted Donna she said that she does not have mice and that it must have been our fault. Because of the mouse and its potential for carrying disease, and the fact that one of my Veterans has a medical condition, we left one full day early. I asked for a one day refund because we did not want to leave but the mice situation made us leave to be safe. Donna refused & said not to contact her again. Wow! ##### Dave s. Séjour de 3 nuits en septembre 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### MelodyR R. 30 août 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Life is good The property was great, a short walk to the water for fishing, swimming or kayaking. Water was a little low but we still got out there and enjoyed it. The only problem was the road to get there is a little rough even in our truck, prior to our arrival the area had a few downpours which eroded some of the road, Everything else was a class act. We are already hoping to come back in the future. ##### MelodyR R. Séjour de 3 nuits en août 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Dylan C. 9 août 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Dearborn River MT Vacation Our family had a great time during our stay at the Life is Good Lodge. The location is remote / private and the river canyon is very scenic. Donna and Dave were helpful in communication with things to do and check in instructions. ##### Dylan C. Séjour de 3 nuits en août 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Steven K. 30 juill. 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Lovely Evenings The cabin had lots of space to hang out in. The pool table was a real plus. The evenings on the back deck was a spectacular place to hang out and watch for wildlife. The communication with the owners was very easy. This property is well worth giving a try. ##### Steven K. Séjour de 6 nuits en juillet 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jeromy N. 23 août 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Amazing Mountain Getaway Fantastic cabin, amazing amenities in beautiful, peaceful scenic countryside. A great place to disconnect (though it has wifi, but no cell service). An amazing place to just relax, fish and visit with friends and family. The property managers/owners couldn't be more friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this property and we would stay there again if the opportunity presents itself. ##### Jeromy N. Séjour de 5 nuits en août 2021 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Douglas H. 12 août 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Great location but needs some TLC The property is in a very nice location right on the Dearborn river. Unfortunately for us it was a drought year and the river was very low and water temps very warm. It did make for great swimming. The cabin is very nice but could use some regulars maintenance. Just little things like cabinet handles, Toilet flush handle, fresh set of non stick pans etc. ##### Douglas H. Séjour de 7 nuits en juillet 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Sarah L. 10 août 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Week in July get away Remote location was great for an unplugged week. House has everything needed. Although there was a mix up with the cleaner, Host was very quick to respond. Just take all your groceries and enjoy the peace. ##### Sarah L. Séjour de 6 nuits en juillet 2021 ### 2/10 – Terrible #### Randall M. 6 août 2021 Points faibles : Propreté #### Listing description vs. reality - Two different things The listing description and photos do not match this property. We photographed and told the owner all the problems we found (see just a few below). The owner, Donna, had excuses for everything that was wrong and claimed she was "unaware" of obvious long standing problems. Look at previous reviews, she apologizes and claims "it's just Montana" or "the housekeeper is no longer with us", she portrays the property one way and the reality is very different. We have provided descriptions and photos of each problem, but the VRBO review system wouldn't handle the length of the review as it was over four pages long. The owners do not live in Montana and apparently have no local property manager. The property was not ready when we arrived at 3pm, as promised, but 5pm. We strongly recommend you do not stay at this VRBO and we are seeking to get our money back. Problems: It lists "3 spacious bedrooms" when it is only one, with two upstairs lofts, no privacy open to main house. None of the photos in the VRBO listing clearly show the open lofts. The listing notes a "private take out/put in on the Dearborn River." However, the house is not on the river and access is via an easement through the neighbor's property. You cannot drive to the river and a boat would have to be carried several hundred yards. According to locals, the river has not fished well since a flood several years ago. The yard was unmowed and unusable. Inside we found: Mouse droppings and urine all over the cutlery, drawers and cabinets, dirty dishes in the dish washer, microwave was greasy and covered with dirt and bugs, the stove and oven was very greasy and dirty. The right front gas burner on the stove ignites with an explosive blast and is a burn hazard, the living room sofa had mouse droppings and urine smell, additional mouse droppings were in the bedroom closet and throughout the house. Kitchen faucet did not work properly, upstairs toilet did not flush correctly. The cell phone booster only works for T-Mobile. Note that some corrections were made. The housekeeper came back to clean the kitchen shelves and drawers. (No other problem areas in cabin were cleaned). Some poison baits were put outside BUT we could not let the dog out due to the poison placement. Donna's husband came by to bring laundry soap, garbage bags and change the door lock code (which he did not do). He also sprayed mouse deterrent spray outside the house. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. ##### Randall M. Séjour de 12 nuits en juillet 2021 ### 6/10 – Acceptable #### Tess T. 15 juill. 2021 Points faibles : Propreté #### Would rate higher except for housekeeping issues. Would rate higher except for housekeeping issues (reported to owner) and the challenging drive in, as posted here by earlier guests. My husband and two friends stayed here a week on a fishing trip. The air conditioner wasn’t working when they arrived during the recent heat wave, but was fixed the next day. The upstairs toilet wasn’t flushing. (They fixed it, but a plumber should look at it.) They chose not to use the dishwasher due to heavy buildup of lime deposits and old, stuck food particles. The trash bins were overflowing upon arrival. And something has died under the porch (very aromatically, given the heat wave.) Beautiful location and, as advised in the check-in notes, there are rattlesnakes! This is Montana. ##### Tess T. Séjour de 7 nuits en juillet 2021 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Brett B. 10 juin 2021 #### Great private property in Montana. We had a great trip. The house was quite and nice and in a very unique location. The only thing we did not enjoy about the property was the 4 wheel drive road to the property itself. Thanks. ##### Brett B. Séjour de 4 nuits en juin 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Steve F. 2 juin 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Heaven is on the Dearborn! Your beautiful Dearborn River Retreat was perfect for our mini family reunion! What a great view from the dining, main and pool table room as well as the patio and the bedrooms. We particularly enjoyed the native wildlife: deer, an eagle, and owls! The river Is running fast in muddy right now but still nonetheless and a beautiful experience to walk down along the river. ##### Steve F. Séjour de 3 nuits en mai 2021 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### David B. 16 oct. 2020 Points forts : Propreté #### Missouri Fish Camp 2020 My son and I, plus a friend and his son, booked Donna and David's Dearborn River cabin as base for our 2020 Missouri fishing trip. The cabin proved to be exactly what we were looking for, mountain remote yet within 20 minutes of Craig. That included dragging our drift boats over the winding mountain road! The cabin was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the view looking over the Dearborn spectacular. We will definitely book this property again, assuming someone doesn't beat us to it! ##### David B.
