"The room was clean with a beautiful back yard with a picnic table. I loved the large walk in shower and the wood ceiling in the bedroom was really cool. The rustic looking furniture was great giving you the feel of a beautiful hunting cabin. I loved the large microwave and nice sized refrigerator in the room. There was no staff around but there was a number you could call to get a code to get into the room and the person answered right away with the code."

"Super nice place to enjoy some days outside the normal tourist spots. And a good price for staying on a farm. Be cautious, the route to the farm is very gravelly so a 4wd might be recommended."

Charming cabin in the Tobacco Root foothills

10/10 Excellent
"What a fantastic property! We were in the area from Phoenix to experience some Montana golf. The courses we wanted to experience are spread out, so we wanted to find something in the middle. Finding this place made for a fantastic trip. Very remote, for us at least, to give us the feeling of being in Montana but still had everything that you could want in a solid rental. The views are great and everything is well maintained. I didn't find myself once saying "I wish they had this". Completely recommend this place and I would go back in a heartbeat. The pictures are of the views from the backyard."
