Our Little Cabin, Life as it should be


So quiet you can hear birds sing, deer snort and if you'd like, yourself think! Personal get away? Writer or artist needing creative space. A fisherman/women - Rock Creek is just over the hill.
Our cabin is located in a meadow/wooded rural setting and approximately 8 miles from Philipsburg. This rustic, cozy, clean 1 room cabin is comfortably furnished for a relaxing stay. The cupola allows for stargazing from bed, a 1890's wood stove provides warmth and ambiance. Other heating sources too, but we do love that stove! The "west wing" - shower/ bathroom - has a sliding door to provide privacy from the main room. Kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, coffee maker, dishes, etc. Since your coming to this area, you likely have done some research and are aware of the rich history in mining and the fun of panning for sapphires. For us the outdoors plays a large part in our lives. In the summer, kayaking the numerous rivers and lakes, casting a fly hoping to attract a trout, hiking a trail in the Pintler Anaconda Wildernesses or Sapphire Mountains. Then there is just settling beneath a tree and reading a good book.
The cabin is reached by a private gravel road and drive. After years of vacationing in the cabin we built our home here. You likely will see us ( and our dog) outside working on a project, low key and out of your way .

The best review is when I say, "We plan to return!" The cabin was easily accessible, comfortable, and charming. Clearly, the hosts love their cabin and graciously share their time and beautiful land.

Amazing
We loved the quiet tranquil area, the cabin was cozy, not to far from town but far enough to feel like your off the grid. It was a wonderful family getaway and we would stay here again for sure. Our hosts were wonderful and knowledgeable. Thanks for the great stay.

Close to nature
We had a great time and our hosts were very nice. They suggested places for us to visit and we’re so glad we stayed here. If you are looking for a laid back , close to nature get away, this is the perfect spot. We saw the Milky Way every night!
