A totally authentic Montana sweet retreat in a convenient location

Tucked into the woods at the end of the road just 13 minutes from the heart of town, this cabin is a treasure. Cliff built the place himself; each tree sawn on his tractor-powered sawmill. We added family antiques, new mattresses and original art (lotsa comfort and love). The covered porch is high in the trees with breathtaking views 1000 feet above the Yellowstone River. A stellar location, you will be hard-pressed to find a more memorable authentic cabin experience during your Montana travels.

Cliff was the stuff of legend; a barrel chested mountain man with a heart of gold and a zen-like deep-souled connection to nature. The cabin has power, running water, bath, shower and a full kitchen. The loft has a king size power adjustable bed and the "Powder Room" has a full size bed. Both beds are topped with hand stitched comforters and cozy linens.

The secluded cabin was built onto the side of a mountain above town. You can watch squirrels scamper on the ground outside the bathroom window yet the living room and porch at the front of the cabin sit high off the ground in the trees. Through the tree tops, sky surrounds a view of the Yellowstone River below and the Crazy Mountains beyond. Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular from this nest of a home in the trees. The thirty foot porch has a BBQ grill, a dining area and a lounge area complete with a fire pit to cozy around while looking at an endlessly star-filled "Big Sky Country" sky (especially delightful as we do not have the distraction of light pollution). Nights are considerably cooler up here in the forest 1000 feet above Livingston, a welcome respite during the warmer summer months. Cliff's cabin is in it's own neck of the woods, easy to access and private. You will find plenty of forest and a few trails to explore. A big horned owl and its mate have been hanging around Cliff’s cabin - you may hear them hoot at night and in the mornings.
Although we live on the property, you will not see our home. We enjoy people but we do not want to disturb the beauty of quietude which Cliff's cabin offers our guests. Simply let us know the level of interaction you desire. You may check-in on your own. We are accessible by phone and will let you know if we are out-of-town at the time of your booking. You will be able to see my art studio on your way to Cliff's cabin (ask us if you would like a studio tour). We are happy to answer questions and meet your needs. Let us know how we can make your stay dreamier.

Beautiful location, close to Livingston, this cabin is a gem. It is authentic in every way with a homey feel and comfortable furniture to relax in.

Best trip we have ever taken!

Our stay at Cliff’s Cabin was amazing! Our host was so incredibly helpful and friendly.. he was truly a blessing! The cabin itself was spotless and in excellent condition.. it is also in the most beautiful location… tucked away in the woods. We loved it so much that we are flying back to Montana to stay at Cliff’s Cabin again in the fall. We will probably be there twice a year, every year from now on!

Great time at Cliffs Cabin

Raymond and Amber were excellent hosts. The cabin looked great online, it was even better when we arrived in person. The road to get to the cabin is pretty long and steep, but that added to the seclusion. Cabin was very rustic with all the modern conveniences. Overall it was a great place to stay.

Weekend Getaway and Fly Fishing

Wonderful place with lots of character. The hand craftsmanship was very impressive. This is an authentic mountain cabin. We were there in late fall for fly fishing and enjoyed using the wood stove to heat the place up and carry us through the night. Close to Livingston and close to great fly fishing on the creeks. Will stay here again for our next trip.
