Real stone cabin, wake to million dollar views, abundant wildlife...

Secluded cabin with magnificent views of the Bitteroot range, Lake Como, and star filled nights from the outdoor hot tub or indoor walk-in jetted tub. Wildlife including elk, deer, bear, foxes, and lions are your neighbors. The cabin is only 12 miles from Hamilton proper, but the peaceful, quiet, remoteness make you feel this is your own private world. The property is surround by thousands of acres of National Forest and can hike for days. There are many animals that pass through/live on the property, giving our guest the opportunity to observe several in their natural habitat. The ability to reconnect with that little bit of wild, frontier spirit that lives in all of us all while enjoying the creature comforts of our modern world.

Our magical cabin is located on TOP of a mountain ridge, there are some steep and prolonged grades on a gravel/dirt road. The road is wide enough for two full size pick ups to pass, with wider areas throughout the 4 mile trip. The road is not suburban nor a state maintained but marked with signs.

As my nephews, from the east coast, are so fond of saying "Montana is not a nanny state". They spent many of their adolescent summers hiking, exploring, and fishing from the cabin as a base "camp". The same opportunity is now open to you and your family.

Excellent service, enjoyable stay
My wife and I enjoyed our honeymoon here. The beautiful mountain view was our favorite part. It is a nice, cozy, peaceful place. The host offered excellent service; he always was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. We felt we were well taken care of. The pictures provided accurately portray what the house looks like inside. There are 3houses in sight in between the trees, but we didn’t feel a compromise in privacy beyond when we needed to go outside and around the building in order to get to the hot tub. The road up is a difficult one. You definitely NEED 4 wheel drive and excellent winter tires in the winter. Chains are very helpful. Take the drive up seriously (coming from a Canadian farmer). We enjoyed our time and would recommend it!

Great place for a week if you like the mountains and getting away from civilization a bit.
Great spot if you don't mind having a few neighbors and a mountain drive up to the cabin. Over all great and wonderful spot and views.

Beautiful view
This property is unique. It is well off the beaten path, so if you want quiet, peaceful, solitude (which we did) this is the place for you. The view was amazing and different everyday. The home was very clean, the design choices and workmanship were a little odd but didn't detract from the beauty and tranquility of this place. I cannot remember when I have slept so good, it was beautifully dark and quiet. There were rain storms during most of our visit, which added to the beauty for us. We watched the lightning from the bed every night. The hot tub was a nice treat even though we only got to enjoy it once because of the weather. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and appliances but only salt and pepper so make sure to bring any extras you might want. The town of Hamilton is fun, make sure you explore downtown, the ice cream/ donut shop and the amazing farmer's market on Saturdays. This was our first trip to Montana and Kirk's hospitality and beautiful home made it something we will not forget.

Breathtaking & Adventurous!
Amazing, beautiful & clean cabin! I will never forget falling to sleep next to a crackling fire and waking up to one of the most spectacular views in Montana. Pretty much sat in the hot tub and sipped amazing wine for 4 days. Perfect getaway for some tired Montana parents. Host & property manager were very helpful. I'll be back next year for sure! Thank you Kirk! XOXO

Beautiful views
Great place to stay. Property manager was great to work with and gave very helpful And detailed instructions to get to the place. He also gave ideas of where to go to snowshoe and hike. The only thing you should be aware of is that you have to exit the building and walk around the house to the hot tub. Not a big deal but a little harder to deal with in the winter. Other than that the place is exactly what we were looking for! Would highly recommend.

Tranquil location with great hiking and views
Any quirks of this cabin are far outweighed by the majestic views of MT mountains and hiking through the local NF. Was the second part of my 1st trip to MT and the views, tranquility and outdoor beauty was spectacular. Being able to hike from my doorstep into thousands of National Forest acreage was fantastic- saw plenty of deer along with many highways of elk, mountainlion, bobcat and bear tracks 🐻🦌! Being my first trip to Montana, when Kirk said “plan accordingly” for getting car chains, there’s no way to put his reco into context. I have driven in heavy snow before, was driving up around Glacier NF the week before with no issues but none of above prepared me for tackling Bitterroot mtn roads. The rental company couldn’t rent chains (actually said they didn’t allow chains to be used), so I used my prior weeks success to boost my resolve- HA! While Kirk’s friend Vince was a lifesaver calling me to help navigate, I had to go back down to town and retry the next day (with four chains from local tire shop- rental policy be damned). Bottom line, if there’s snow in the valley, get chains in town before attempting to climb up and do not try the trek after dusk. It’s a dirt /snow/ice covered single lane road, sketch signs, no guardrails, 100’ drop-offs, blind turns (both on ‘flats’ and coming around steep inclines)- definitely not for the meek. When you see locals using chains- there’s your sign. Use em, too. Like I said before, the cabin location allows for stunning views and hiking to the NF. The heated floors are fantastic, the ‘toto’ toilet reminded me of home, great views from all rooms and the 360 outdoor lighting appreciated. Some of the interior made you just tilt your head and wonder but you’re there to go outside anyway. The one feature I wish I was able to use more than once was the hot tub on the lower deck. House layout allowed for access through the lower level (closed for construction) and Kirk’s path from the front entrance couldn’t be found in the snow (and it’s a pretty steep hill). After slipping & sliding both down/up to tub from the main entrance, I only used it once. The cabin was clean & had the basics… Kirk was responsive to texts during our stay and was a gracious host. There are about ten houses along this road (most are fair weather hunting cabins). I enjoyed the solitude & the beautiful outdoors surrounding this cabin. I look forward to spending more time in Montana & hope to return here!

Relaxing mountain retreat
Words can't really describe the beauty of the location. The home overlooked scenic granite peaks with a lake at their base. The hot tub was wonderful! We appreciated the host's knowledge of nearby hikes and activities as well as his willingness to answer questions quickly. We look forward to staying there again in the near future.

Adorable Montana Hideaway
Truly off the beaten path and away from it all. Secluded and surrounded by miles of National Forest (and wildlife) with a breathtaking view of the Bitterroot Mountains and the peaceful sounds of nature. So nice to recharge a few days. The property manager, Kirk was super accommodating/helpful. Book your stay. Be sure to stop for groceries on the way (in your SUV), then unplug and enjoy!!
