Knotty but Nice by the Bitterroot!

Kick off your boots and enjoy a one of a kind, newly renovated, & professionally designed cozy cabin getaway across the street from the gorgeous Bitterroot River, a blue ribbon trout stream! Better yet, grab your canoe and pole to test your luck with some fishing. How about a scenic bike ride from the cabin taking you along the river to the historic downtown Stevensville area, Montana's oldest town home to small shop boutiques and delicious local foods. For snow lovers, we’re minutes away from the spectacular Lolo pass, and Lost Trail ski areas.

As you enter the house, you are greeted with a rustic comfortable atmosphere and exposed log beams. The home is bright and inviting. The open living room, dining room and kitchen has two bedrooms off to the side along with a bathroom. Behind the kitchen is a large mud room/laundry.
The upstairs loft is one large master suite with a scenic balcony where you can enjoy the majestic views of the Bitterroot Mountains along with your morning coffee.

The Stevensville boat launch is just a mile away, & just across the river is the Lee Metcalf wildlife refuge where you can fish, hunt, birdwatch and hike.

Whether you come to relax, explore the great outdoors, or just get away & work away from home you will leave rejuvenated, refreshed with unforgettable memories.

So get the real Montana experience by staying in a log cabin!

First visit to Bitterroot Valley
My husband and I had a great time at the Knotty but Nice cabin, it was perfectly set up with lots of space for us, it was cozy and felt like home. The weather was unpredictable but that was expected as it was May and it was Montana.. the beauty of the valley was breathtaking. Pasha was great, she responded immediately to any questions we had. Her and her husband have a wonderful home and I would recommend this place to anyone going there to visit. Thank you, Margaret Fort Mill SC

AMAZING PLACE TO STAY!
I cannot brag on this particular VRBO enough Pasha was the best host I have ever encountered, and this cabin was the perfect place for my family and myself. Everything that you could possibly need is available at the cabin, and we loved the personal touches left throughout the cabin. We have already discussed coming back to this cozy place in the future. Great for all ages for sure!

Above and Beyond!
We were blown away by the cleanliness and comfort of the cabin! Tastefully decorated with high quality bedding, kitchenwares, etc. Our crew truly appreciated the toys in the kids' bunkroom as well as all of the board games and outdoor games for inside & outside fun. Thank you!

Beautiful!
This cabin was picture perfect! It is just like the pictures but better! Very clean and perfectly decorated. I was hoping to be a little further away from neighbors but the privacy fence around the backyard helped. I strongly recommend this home. It had everything we needed. We will definitely book again if we come back to Montana!

Perfect Vacation Home
Our two sons live in Montana and we came for the oldest wedding. It was the perfect home. You felt so comfortable there. No personal photos or belonging to feel you were in their house when they were gone. The decor is perfect. Love the seasonal decor. We will definitely stay again.

Attention to detail is amazing!
My husband was so excited to stay in a log cabin and he loved it. I loved the cleanliness and attention to detail. Also loved that is was quiet. We live in the country and I am very picky about sounds. Would definitely recommend this home!

Wonderful stay
We had an excellent stay. Over the course of the weekend. I had a few questions that were almost immediately answered. Saturday night we sat outside around the fire ring and enjoyed looking at the stars. We will definitely stay here if we are back in the area in the future. The only reason we gave everything five stars is because we could not give a higher rating.

Lovely Home
This was the most well stocked home we’ve stayed in. From the basket of welcome snacks to the coffee and creamer and even the lovely shampoo/conditioner sets in the showers. Very stylish decor, plenty of space and even enough hangers to move right in and feel at home. Once settled in you notice the peaceful surroundings. Lovely sunset views off the patio upstairs. Kitchen is well sticked for cooking and there is a grocery store nearby. We also went out to eat as town is just a short drive. We were there to fish and there are many well marked fishing access points nearby. This is a great spot to use as a home base to explore the area. I would highly recommend!!
