About this property

Rustic Bunkhouse on the Kootenai River

Awesome rustic cabin set among the trees & along the river. This property is fairly secluded at the edge of town. Sometimes we don't even get meet our guests. This was built with privacy in mind. Full deck overlooking the river. Fish, eat, read or do nothing. Take a natural step back and relax in this restful retreat. Enjoy a Montana experience with a sky full of stars and a deck overlooking the river. These cabins were built & brought onto the property as to not to disturb the natural landscape. Rustic, cozy, bathroom with shower. Exploding with comfort. Rustic, vintage & modern design. Let the stress melt away & enjoy a peaceful stay. The whimsy of this wonderful rustic cabin is the biggest part of it's charm, along with the beautiful river that will mesmerize you. At the same time, this cabin offers all the comforts of home while expressing the true Montana feel. Eat, sleep, read, hike or do nothing. Offering a loft with a full size bed and queen bed in the main salon. Easy check in: Look for the welcome sign with your name on it, make your way down the boardwalk to your cabin, We will have it ready for you, keys inside and door unlocked. Highfalut'n is not an attitude you will find in Montana and you won’t find any such touches in our rustic cabins or anywhere on the property. What you will find is the perfect place to call home during your next vacation, business trip, or other adventure, with all the comforts and hospitality at its finest.

Cozy and comfy

We had everything we needed for cooking meals and relaxing together at this comfy tiny house on the river. My husband “worked from home” for two days and really got work done! The sauna was perfect and the whole property vibes very calm and space is well cared for and intentional.

Nice stay with everything you would possibly need.

We stayed in the cabin 3 nights. Was a good location and the cabin provided all one needs and more. They have gone out of their way to make it a good spot. Every little detail thought of and provided. So much stuff in the cabin without feeling cluttered. While we went for hikes we could have easily filled our time without leaving the property.

Cozy and clean

The property was gorgeous and offered very nice privacy and amazing views of the river and mountains! Cabin was so nice and warm even when snowing outside and was the perfect place to stay over Christmas! All of the little touches really show how much hosts care about your experience there. Thank you so much for having us!

Beautiful cabin

My husband and I stayed 3 nights here with our dog. We had been to the area before and wanted to explore it further. The bunkhouse was a perfect base for kayaking, fishing and hiking. We loved the privacy and all the many extra little touches. They have truly thought of everything. Thanks for a great stay!

Coolest little cabin

I really wasn't sure what I was going to be walking into once we got to Montana. But omg, this was one of the most coolest place on earth. I thought my wife was going to have a fit, being she was a city girl, but she loved it. Tish, you done well on making this little cabin so cozy. They had everything thing that you can imagine from toothbrush to eggs in your cabin. (You have to cook it of course). We had a lot of fun, with good people. Guys keep up the good work. Toothpicks- Lol.

Sweet & Serene

I picked Tish's place for my solo getaway this year and I am so glad I did. The Bunkhouse was the perfect size for me; she has every item one could need available in this small place! It is so peaceful right on the beautiful Kootenai River. The little town of Troy is a few blocks away for picking up food/supplies. The trains run through the area every so often and blast their horn, but I love the sound of trains...it may bother some folks though. The whole area is beautiful and Tish has put a lot of work and love into her property. There is a sauna, a warming yurt with movies and books to read, a little self-serve bar on the honor system if you want a cocktail, and bicycles to borrow. You don't want to canoe or swim on the river right there (too swift and shallow with slippery rocks), but there are swimming and fishing areas very close by. I just loved the whole feel of the place and hope I can get back there in the future. Tish is an exceptional host!

Cozy cabin on the river

This was the second time I have stayed and both times the experience was very good. The space is setup to accommodate folks in a very friendly way. All your basic needs are met and more. I was in town for work and just enjoy a hassle free evening and not having to deal with a hotel.

Kootenai Get-Away

The cabin was wonderful. Yes it is small but very fun. Clean and cozy. The deck area was a perfect place to eat any meal, mostly our evening meal for us. The path and lawn chairs to/at the river is short and very relaxing. Our hosts walked us through the Yurt and Sauna as well as the rest of the grounds. If our future trips back to Troy area align with cabin availability, we very much would like to stay here again. no doubt about it.

Awesome stay on the Kootenai!

This property is so fun and we loved the cozy comfortable feel of the cabin. It was -4 the first night and we were warm and toasty all night, including the water. The river is right there and with so many things to do in the area, it was a perfect stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tish Burris

Host profile image
I am a world traveler that settled here in Troy Montana. I went to high school in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in NE, Africa. I spent most of my career in the corporate world. I purchased this property in 2000 after some family deaths. I left corporate and decided to purchase this wonderful property. Now I develop this beautiful river property for others to enjoy. As I have just moved back last year. I live in a church that was going to be destroyed. I purchased it and moved it to the property. It is work in progress. While the cabins have been completed and are perfect. It is time for some attention to my own place. I spent a year at sea with my family on a 41 ft sloop and loved it. But solid land feels pretty good too.

Why they chose this property

This property was brush and old car parts when I purchased it. I moved a 100 year old Church to the property and have since built two cabins and other out buildings, plus a Yurt! The property holds a lot of history. I have 75 to a 100 year old fruit trees and the river is framed by cedar trees of about the same age.

What makes this property unique

The three biggest attractions on this property is the "River" "Mountains" and the cabin its self.
