Unforgettable off the grid stay

This listing was just as described. I felt very comfortable here and didn’t even feel like we were off the grid with the commodities offered. Ty was a great host, down to earth, very personable and described everything thoroughly. The bedrooms were cool at night and we took all advantages of the deck to watch the sunrise, set and even a double rainbow after an evening shower. This listing is close to Columbia falls, 22 minutes from GNP west entrance. I recommend Mudman burger for a unique local experience. Thank you Ty for a great stay.

Our time in the woods

The Cabin is nestled quietly in the woods and the views from the deck are spectacular!! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck and the evening sunsets were a site to behold. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Glacier park is very close and was Amazing to see.

Beautiful cabin and location!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Ty's off-grid cabin. The property was beautiful and very secluded. It takes about 15 minutes of driving on back, gravel roads to get up to the cabin. We absolutely LOVED the back porch with the rocking chairs. We spent every single evening out there decompressing and enjoying the views with a glass of wine. We hiked inside the park almost every single morning. Being on the west side of the park, it is quite a long drive to the east side. We did one hike in Many Glaciers and left the cabin at 3:00 AM to get to the trailhead around 7:00 AM to secure parking (worth it!) Ty provided us a lot of clean drinking water which was very much appreciated as we went through a lot of it with the hot days. The cabin did get quite hot in the afternoons but the basement where the bedrooms are stayed nice and cool which was great for sleeping. There is a train that runs nearby, not close enough where it was disruptive. Kitchen was fully stocked and easy to cook in. We loved the binoculars and books around the house. Highly recommend staying here if you want a no frills, private cabin with an incredible view. Be sure to check out the stars at night!

Quiet and tranquil cabin!

Had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was extremely quiet with just the rustling of the trees and the occasional bird and hummingbird sounds while we hung out on the deck. Grilled out all 3 nights and tried to soak up as much outdoor time as possible, especially since we had such an incredible view at the property. It was an easy 20-25 min drive to West Glacier entrance, and also enjoyed HH reservoir/ park as well. We went to Glacier in the middle of a heat wave - low/mid 90s but the downstairs bedroom was nice and cool. Thank you Ty, appreciate your wonderful communication and suggestions.

Wonderful Place!

We had a great time staying at this off-grid house. We loved the location and had no problems with being off-grid. The house was excellent, location perfect, and hosts were good. Just what we were looking for, for a small family reunion.

Perfect Setting

This was such a great place to come back to after hiking in Glacier Park each day. Peaceful, quiet and breath taking sunsets! Shared patio with a coffee bar and small fridge at our disposal was so inviting! A bit of a drive from Many Glacier entrance but so worth it! Owner was very friendly, we enjoyed visiting with her.

Mountain retreat

If you are looking for peace and quiet and beautiful views this would be the home/cabin for you. It is remote and peaceful but yet 20 minutes to west glacier. Ty was helpful and the place was clean and we had what we needed. We cooked on the grill and gas stove and used the oven for meals. He had plenty of fresh drinking water and nice warm showers We did not have laundry but we just packed accordingly. It is a couple miles up into the hills on a gravel road but definitely manageable. We had a car but I would recommend an SUV. If you love the view of the mountains like we did you will love this place. Thanks TY!

Beautiful Mountain View cabin

The cabin is so cool, right in the middle of the woods over looking the mountains. The cabin has a great outdoor feel with all the various hunting antlers all around. I loved the bedroom in the basement with all the windows around and you felt like you were sleeping in the woods. We loved sitting on the deck with our coffee in the morning and wine at night gazing at the stars. We were disappointed that the fire pit on the deck was not hooked up. We were 15-20 min from the west side entrance to Glacier National Park. We spent most of the time hiking in the park. We also went white waters rafting with the Glacier Guide Rafting Company. We were disappointed and quite anxious when Ty didn’t respond to my messages through VRBO or gmail but instead tried to communicate with me by texting me on my phone. We were staying inside the park for 4 days before the VRBO and I didn’t have any cell phone service inside the park at all. We finally got ahold of Ty after we left the park just hours before check in. We absolutely loved the cabin, we just wished we had better communication.

Great place in remote Montana, close to Glacier National Park, close to Columbia Falls

Great place. Everything that we needed. Convenient to GNP and Columbia Falls. Very remote. There was a bit of a musty basement smell, but this was really the only negative for us. If we stay here again, my wife will learn how to use a percolator prior to our arrival. :)

Rustic

The home was unique. It was on self sustaining power (solar and a generator for back up.) The lighting was fairly dim. The water for the sinks and shower is pumped in from the creek. A large water cooler with jugs of clean water was provided for drinking. There is no microwave or dishwasher. While we missed some conveniences, there is one undeniable fact. When we arrived, a black bear was in the cherry tree not 15 feet from the kitchen windows. That was awesome!

Ty is wonderfully specific about what to expect from his property. It was a spectacular place to rest (and ice) up between hikes. It was so peaceful for being so conveniently located to the Park and to Whitefish. We really enjoyed ourselves there.

Wonderful experience!

We absolutely loved Ty's home. It was everything it promised to be and more. The view from the great room and porch is amazing. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet and beautiful. It is close enough to be3 convenient to the park, Columbia Falls, White Fish, and Flathead Lake - yet still isolated enough to feel really removed. The off-grid house functions beautifully. The beds are really comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We couldn't ask for more. I really hope we are able to go back sometime soon!

Misleading description but awesome view

Teakettle Mountain Ranch is a cute cabin tucked in the woods with an awesome view of the mountains. However, we were slightly disappointed upon arrival due to the fact that the description lists TV, wireless internet and a coffee maker which is slightly misleading. There is a TV, but no TV service, just a DVD player but no DVDs. There is no wireless internet, you have to use your cell phone hot spot which does not work very well. The coffee maker is a percolator. We made due, but we were expecting those things since they are listed under amenities. We would just suggest that the amenities be updated to clarify these 3 things. Otherwise we had a nice stay and the location is great for Glacier National Park.

Good location for Glacier

The cabin is in a great secluded location, but still very convenient between Columbia Falls and Glacier. The location and the views are the real selling points. The cleanliness and the amenities might not be up to some frequent Vrbo renters’ standards but Ty does advertise it as a rustic “off-grid” cabin. Ty was very responsive when we had a couple questions and helped out very quickly.

What a Gem

Wow , what an amazing experience. The property owner was super helpful with directions and house maintenance instructions. The house was off the grid but his set up makes everything easy. The views from the back porch are unreal, nothin better than sipping a cocktail there after a long day of hiking. Great location, close yet secluded, fun and lots of wildlife. Thanks teakettle ranch for the memories!!!!

Cozy Mountaintop Retreat

We truly enjoyed our 10 day stay at this beautiful country home. The home was exactly as advertised: clean, enough room for four adults and beautiful views. Our favorite part of the house was the back deck where we barbecued, ate most of our dinners, made S’mores, enjoyed the fire pit and the views. The house was the perfect base camp for our daily trips to Glacier National Park which was incredible! M. Nolan Long Island, New York
