About this property

Montana Vacation Destination. Explore the outdoors-Glacier & Yellowstone Parks!

Are you looking for an escape from your busy life? If serenity, comfort, gorgeous scenic views, wildlife, and outdoor adventures sound inviting; we’ve got you covered. Get off the pavement and explore 3.5 miles of dirt road to your mountain getaway! Our road is an adventure in itself, especially if you've never been on a mountain road. You'll want a 4-wheel drive or high clearance vehicle.

Activities await you in the big sky country! Many lakes and rivers nearby for fishing, boating, water skiing, swimming or kayaking. We offer secluded private access to mountain trails for biking, hiking, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, etc. Close to several ski resorts, golf courses, and the KettleHouse Amphitheater, which is a highly ranked outdoor live music venue on the banks of the Blackfoot River just outside of Missoula. Garnet Ghost Town is a close attraction that our guests enjoy. We provide rental equipment for kayaking (with life jack) and archery- bow and arrows. With Clinton Market as the closest grocery store- (13 miles away) we offer pantry stocking services if you would like your shopping done for you before you come! (Please inquire about these additional services after booking.) We have a fire pit for gathering under the starry sky (available as directed by the Forest Service- some restrictions apply). If fires are not allowed during your stay (or you just don’t feel like building a fire), you can still enjoy the great outdoors around the gas fire pit on the deck.
Treat yourself to a relaxing massage or just enjoy the privacy of your mountain getaway.
Why not incorporate 2 national parks into your visit? We're Between Glacier and Yellowstone national parks. A great stopping point on your way between them, or a home base to visit both.

Experience Montana in a custom built Craftsman style lodge with beautiful custom cabinetry and granite countertops throughout, hardwood floors, and a blue stained pine vaulted ceiling. The great room features a gas fireplace with a solid reclaimed wood mantle, incorporating local barn wood and large windows to highlight the breathtaking views. Catch a glimpse of the eagles and other large birds that soar over the valley from your living room windows.

Entirely off grid... but you'd never know it!
Due to state of the art technology we're able to offer all the comforts of home:

-Elon Musk's Starlink high speed internet delivers speeds well over 100 Mbps! You'll be able to watch movies without buffering, play online, and even work (if you must) as usual.
-65" smart TV in the great room/kitchen area and master bedroom.
-120" Home theater with AppleTV and Blu-ray player.
-Bumper Pool table
-Smoker and gas grill for your barbecuing pleasure.
-Gas fire pit
-Outdoor tables, chairs, and games
-Kitchen supplies for cooking delicious meals.
-Mini splits in each of the upstairs bedrooms, master bedroom and great room (for temperature control)
-Dimmable lights and ceiling fans

The open floor plan and immense deck space of this 3,060 sq. ft lodge allows for large gatherings with friends and family. One night under the starlit big sky and you'll be hooked for a lifetime of adventure!!


*Available Now- 2 smaller cabins in the same area. These accommodate 6 people each. They can be booked on their own, or in conjunction with the lodge. If you're interested, please send me a message.

*The lodge is located 3.5 miles off the interstate up a mountain winding dirt road. We plow and maintain the road year round. You will need a 4-wheel drive in the winter and a high clearance vehicle in the summer. The road conditions vary and can be muddy, slushy, or slick in the winter and spring due to frequent change in temperatures.

Fly fishing getaway

Great accommodation for our annual fly fishing trip. Property was beautiful in a very secluded location on a mountain side. Owners were easy to communicate with and met our expectations.

The Cabin is exactly as described. Very remote with incredible accommodations and even better views! Totally off the grid but had everything you could possibly need for the perfect vacation. Glenna & Corey were very easy to work with and very responsive. Cant wait to get back.

Awesome location!

We came to Montana to fly fish and we really enjoyed staying in this house! It had everything we needed and it was very comfortable and cozy. The movie theatre room was super cool, the kitchen was great for cooking, and the view was stunning! Watching the sunset was beautiful from way up high!! The drive up to the house is steep, but the road was really well maintained. We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect! Great communication with the hosts as well!

A true dream

The property is truly majestic. If you're looking for a secluded stay in the beautiful wilderness of Montana, this is your spot. The drive up to the property can be a bit treacherous but it all so worth it once you make it. 10/10, would go back!

Great Secluded Getaway

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful, secluded location. Description, photos and other reviews give a spot on representation of this property. The road in is a little daunting at first and though I would definitely recommend a true four wheel drive vehicle to get in and out our SUV rental did fine. The owners could not be nicer. They had great communication, were super helpful in making recommendations about the area and were a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend this property for someone looking to enjoy the seclusion of the Montana wilderness.

Epic Stay in Montana!!

If you’re looking to see Montana.stars and have an unbelievable view of the mountains and totally be off the grid (but still have all the amenities like internet!) this is your place! Beavertail State Park is at the bottom of the mountain - kids played in the river there! Gianna was amazing, answering every question we had for our family reunion., totally going above and beyond on everything! Highly recommend this place to experience exactly what you would want to experience coming to Montana!

True Back-country relaxing

We brought our family to Montana for the first time for a “mini-reunion.” Corey met us at the intestate exit and showed us to the property. He went through all of the inner workings of the house and then left us to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. There was everything needed to cook, relax, and enjoy each other’s company comfortably. Definitely all needed for a worry free experience. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a rural setting yet still wanting to be close to groceries, Missoula, and fun activities. Would definitely stay again. Thanks so much Glenna and Corey.

Wonderful House Excellent Host

House is newly constructed. Pictures present an accurate image. Great if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life but you can remain connected if you need to - the wifi/interent connection was excellent. We were a part of three adults, a fourteen and twelve year old and two infants. The house easily accomodated our group. The hosts were excellent. Answered all of our question prior t arrival promptly. Met us at check in to walk through the house. Very friendly and supportive. We definitely recomend it to groups looking for a mountain retreat outside of Missoula.

Great family retreat!

Our family met in this beautiful home from 5 different states to celebrate our daughters college graduation. The weather was beautiful during our stay and we loved being outdoors and exploring. The remote location was a welcome change from the busy crowds of Missoula during graduation weekend. Our hosts were amazing and the home has everything you need. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfection

This is an amazing house and Glenna is a great host! There were 8 of us (4 adults and 4 teenage children) and we all thoroughly enjoyed this mountain home near Missoula. We spent a lot of time on the deck, drinking coffee in the morning and then watching the "Big Sky" at night. The home has everything you need and there were a lot of extras you don't find in regular VRBO stays. Glenna was extremely responsive throughout the process. We did not need to contact her during the stay because, like I said, it was perfection. The highlights from our group: the views (day and night), being off the grid with the solar powered house, the kitchen, the master suite, and the deck where we spent most of our time.

Delivered as promised!

Family/toddler friendly with modern appliances and beautiful, comfortable furnishings. The soaker tub was a real hit. Surround sound with a rocking sub-woofer in the theater room/bar blew us away and no neighbors to complain :) We used the game table at the bar for board games tried bumper pool. I took advantage of the smoker for a Fathers Day tri tip. Great birding from the patio and hikes.

About the host

Hosted by Glenna Bryant

Host profile image
I grew up in Montana, exploring the great outdoors. I have raised my 5 children on 4-wheelers, fishing poles, hometown community and hospitality. I hope to share a few of my adventures with our guests. I have some great ideas for things to see and do in the surrounding area, so reach out for suggestions.

Why they chose this property

The privacy and serenity is hard to beat. We live just a few short minutes away, so it's a great place to have a second home where our friends and family can stay when they come to visit. It's easy for us to keep an eye on things and make sure that our guests' needs are met.

What makes this property unique

Very secluded location to explore- ATV/snow mobile trails, snowshoeing, hiking, and fishing. 4 blue ribbon trout streams and many rivers in the area. Close enough to convenience stores and shopping, yet far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. You're surrounded by nature- wildlife (deer, elk, birds, etc.) and mountain terrain painted with colorful flowers in the spring and green trees year round. Breathtaking views of the valley and Clark Fork river below. We offer kayaks and bow & arrows, and in the winter- Hammerhead runner sleds for rent. We also offer pantry stocking, catering and massage services. Within a few hours drive from Glacier and Yellowstone national parks; Georgetown, Flathead and Seeley lakes.
Plumbing is on a septic system (no garbage disposal). Solar panels provide power, along with a back-up generator, which will run when necessary. Three propane tanks run the appliances, etc. Please assure that they are not disturbed. Instructions will be given on when and how to operate gas fireplace and mini-splits for max efficiency.
We have 2 air mattresses and a portable crib available upon request at the time of booking.
We welcome service animals- please disclose upon requesting to book. To protect the rights of legitimate service animals, we request proof of service provided and medical referral documentation upon booking. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
We can arrange various activities/services- pantry stocking, rentals, catering, massage, etc. with local businesses to increase your enjoyment. If you need some ideas about what to see and do, please let us know. We're happy to offer suggestions.
If you have a request please let us know at booking so that we can do our best to fulfill it.
We look forward to helping you make the most of your Montana adventure.
