Beautiful Cabin located in the Little Belt Mountains

10/10 Excellent
"If you're looking for a cabin in the Little Belt Mountains, stop looking. You found it!We had an amazing stay, and Phillip, Dave, and Becky were fantastic hosts. The cabin has everything you could possibly need — and then some. The view out the window is incredible. We spent so much time staring at it that I'm pretty sure we forgot what we were supposed to be doing.The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all the little things you normally forget to bring, including spices, and the place was spotless. And the grill? Quite possibly the cleanest gas grill I've ever seen at a rental. I almost felt bad putting food on it.Then there were Becky's famous wild game tacos. We were lucky enough to have her make them for us, and I'm not exaggerating when I say they were life-changing. They came with all the fixings and were so good that we immediately started wondering why this place doesn't offer an all-inclusive option. Cabin mountain views unlimited tacos? Take our money!Dave was great to talk with and incredibly friendly. Phillip was our main point of contact and went way above and beyond with hospitality. He responded quickly to every question and made sure we had everything we needed. We're already talking about coming back in the winter to try the ski hill and rent some snowmobiles. Although, at this point, we're not sure if we're coming back for the mountains or the tacos!Amazing cabin, incredible hosts, unbelievable views, and tacos!"

"This was a wonderful place that worked out great for our needs. The only thing that I could mention was that there was no TV in the upstairs or in the rooms, either or. And as someone in a wheelchair I was not able to get downstairs where the TV was. But this is the only thing that I can mention"

"If I could provide a 50 star rating for this dream cabin in the Little Belt Mountain range I would jump on that option. Communications with the owner (Kim) was top notch, the cabin was exactly as pictured and the setting was simply breath taking. As I told my wife this must be what heaven looks like. Would LOVE to return in the future & we have personally recommend this cabin to our Wisconsin friends."
