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!

This place is a gem. Not far from Missoula, many Bitterroot Forest trails, and so much more. The cabin was the perfect size for our family with a lovely deck and porch for lounging. The backyard had wonderful green grass and a great fire pit for cool Montana evenings. They thought of everything.

Our hosts went over and above to make our stay extremely enjoyable…even supplying the Dutch oven I needed for my bolognese sauce!Would highly recommend both the accommodations & Pasha & David as hosts. However, if any of the guests are 6’-8” tall there may be a bit of ducking & a fly swatter would be nice.

Perfect home in the Bitterroot Valley!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to return in the future. The home is perfectly situated for many outdoor activities and is very close to downtown Stevensville. The house is beautifully appointed in every way. It was very neat and clean. The owners clearly take pride in their home. Thanks to Pasha and David for sharing their property with us!

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!
