Amazing Property & Amazing Owners
This place was in the perfect location and had the perfect amount of space for a big group of friends. The pictures online don’t do this place justice. The space is perfect, the kitchen is fully stocked, the views are breathtaking. The owners were also amazing and very easy to contact and help us with anything we need.

Wish it was mine
We were met by the owners and given a tour. The pictures aren't enough to experience the amazing qualities of this property. We were met with more linens and supplies than we could ever need, and were even loaned a closet full of warm clothing (for layers, although we didn't need them.) Our stay was relaxing and wonderful. If you're thinking about staying at this property, stop thinking about it and do it. You'll be glad you did.

superb location...extraoridnarily well equipped
The setting of this property is superb; Swan River at cabin footsteps, great views of it and Mission Mountain Wilderness, lots of open territory for hiking and much privacy. Terrific "gteat room" open yet intimate, lots of lush couches with warming fireplace. More than you need in kitchen, everything well stocked and accessible. Interesting art/objects all over the cabin creates very home like feeling. Absolute recommend

Unbelievable Views
Ernie and MaryLou were awesome hosts! They answered all of our questions in person and over the phone. They responded quickly and were easy to get a hold of. Their property has views that you only see in movies. We could have never imagined the view of the river flowing with the mountains in the background. We assumed it would be a small creek but it is an actual knee/thigh deep river flowing fairly quickly, which was amazing. Cooking breakfast outside on the flat top grill, enjoying a cup of coffee was a perfect way to start the day. The cabin is very close to beautiful hikes but also far enough off of the highway that you can’t hear the traffic. The evening view was even better than the morning view as we would be outside barbecuing, having a campfire and watching the sun go down. The main cabin was very nice and updated as well. Plenty of room for the 8 of us to stay. This is truly an amazing place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone! Ernie and MaryLou have a one of a kind cabin and we were so appreciative that they allowed us to stay there!!

Boys Montana Trip!!
We had an unbelievable time at the cabin on the Swan River. After hiking most days, all of us were always excited all to getting back to the house with the awesome sights and sounds of the river and mountain backdrop. It’s just an awesome, scenic property that, in my opinion, is minimized by the VRBO pics. The accommodations were just second to none. This was a boys trip with five adults age ranging from 25 to 58, and we thoroughly enjoyed being at the cabin. Plenty of room in the house, great card playing table, outdoor feel, terrific yard, and clean. It’s been a week and we can’t stop talking about the fun we had hanging at our mountain retreat…. It’ll be a while until we stop missing the sights, sounds, and big country air.

Beautiful property in a natural setting
Nice, clean, spacious, beautifully decorated cabin set along a swiftly moving river. Plenty of things to do right at the cabin or just relax in a hammock and listen to the stream. Owners were extremely friendly and helpful.
