Idyllic Cozy Cabin with Spectacular Hosts

My husband and son and I had a wonderful stay at Maribeth and Kent's cozy little cabin! We cooked in the kitchen, played board games and records, and thoroughly enjoyed the nature this property has to offer - deer, squirrels, chipmunks, hummingbirds, butterflies and more! Maribeth and Kent were so welcoming and knowledgeable, and we loved meeting them! Everything was perfect!

Great base for sibling road trip

This cozy cabin located in a beautiful location was perfect for our annual sibling road trip. Friendly and interesting host. Chocolates and cold beverages were very welcome after traveling. Fun decorating touches in cabin (and a personalized note from host). Information notebook about cabin and area includes fact that water heater for shower is ten gallons. Gorgeous evening skies as a thunderstorm rolled in. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

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.

The Cabin

My boyfriend and I came to Montana to hunt for jewels and enjoy the countryside and nature, a much needed vacation. The cabin is amazing with large picture windows and an amazing cupola that is from the 1880s, taken from one of the old buildings in town 😀 The cabin surrounds you with Montana at its best. The Gem Mountain mine was awesome and we saw 2 fox, white tail deer everywhere, and a moose with her teenage calf. The town of Phillipsburg is beautiful and filled with old west architecture that is super cool. We ate at the Silver Mill in town, I odered off the menu with ease, and it was amazing ❤️ I definitely recommend a stay. Great for couples.

About the host

Hosted by Maribeth & Kent Ellis

Kent and I bought this property almost 20 years ago. We knew that some day we would make this beautiful spot our full time home. 8 years ago, we made the move. For me it was coming home- I was born/raised in Columbia Falls. Kent family also had homesteading roots in Montana, though he is a Colorado native. We have short beautiful summers when we do our best to soak in all the activities and events in we can. We love rodeos (watching!) kayaking, hiking, fishing, our dog and working around the property. Fall is likely our favorite season, warm days and snappy evenings!
Winter - a fact of life here and it is long, so best to embrace it! We dust off the snowshoes, Altai Hoks ( cross between snowshoes and XC skis) downhill skis and the snow blower! The cabin is generally not available during winter months.

Why they chose this property

Because your looking to step away from noise and hustle. Your comfortable with rustic , clean and cozy spaces. Cabin is located in a meadow on the edge of a forest.
