Our Little Cabin, Life As It Should Be

2026 - Early Spring -Buttercups and BlueBirds have arrived! Can Summer be far behind? We are getting " Our Little Cabin" ready for you! So time to start planning your stay. Here it is so quiet you can hear birds sing, deer snort and if you want, yourself think! Located in a meadow/wooded rural setting and approximately 8 miles from Philipsburg. This rustic cozy 1 room cabin is comfortably furnished for a relaxing stay. The cupola allows for stargazing from bed, an 1890's wood stove provides warmth and ambiance. 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 dogs Darby and Dixon) outside working on a project, low key and out of your way.

Great little cabin for a long weekend. We loved the location and being able to meander around the property and check out the flora and fauna. It was very quiet, and the star gazing was amazing. Marybeth and Kent are friendly and fun. And we were welcome to bring our dog, which is a must for us. Everything was perfect! Thanks for a great stay!

Our family had a wonderful getaway at the cabin. The property is beautiful with great views and lots of birds. We especially enjoyed all the hummingbirds. The kids had a blast sleeping in the tipi. Our hosts were kind and generous, and immediately made us feel at home. We are looking forward to a future visit.

What a great little cabin to get away and recharge

The cabin is wonderful and in a beautiful somewhat remote setting. My cousin and I stayed for four days We are both in our 70’s and loved the simple parts of our stay The wood cook stove made the cabin cozy. Our hosts were friendly and helpful

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.
