About this property
Immaculate, homey and perfectly located for your stay in downtown Ennis.
The Caddis Shack is a cute little cottage that has been newly updated and is ready to be your home away from home. You are not staying in a "rental", you are staying in a home.
Conveniently located 1/2 block off of Main St. Ennis, it is the perfect, centrally located home for your vacation stay. Quiet and well-appointed, it is sure to please after a long hard day on the river.
Take a nice hot shower and enjoy the on-demand water heater while the coals burn to perfection in the Weber BBQ. Throw the wonderful steaks you bought at Deemo's, our local butcher shop, on the coals, and pour yourself a nice cold one from our local Burnt Tree Brewery, or perhaps a cocktail from spirits from our local Willie's Distillery. Enjoy the comfort of the private, shady back yard, as you and your companion swap stories of the "one(s) that got away"!
The smart tv and wifi will help you stay connected, but the good library will offer you a quiet reprieve if you prefer to unplug and simply read and relax.
When it is time to call it a night, crawl into a nice comfy bed, equipped with quality pillows and sheets that are sure to help you get a good night's rest. The sleeper sofas are equipped with inflatable mattresses which are quite comfortable and have quality bedding provided as well. If you would like me to make up the sleeper sofa(s) in advance, please let me know prior to your arrival, otherwise I will leave sheets for you to do so at your own convenience.
The well-appointed kitchen is sure to please the cook in your group.
In the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee or espresso in the comfort of your own kitchen as you whip up some homemade food in the new cookware. If you prefer to dine out, walk the short distance to downtown for breakfast, while you wait for your guide from a local fly shop. Several options abound in town for "fishermen's lunches" in case you are not on a guided trip with lunch provided.
Convenient off-street parking allows you safe and easy access to your vehicle at all times and makes unloading and loading your gear a snap.
I am confident that you will be very comfortable here and will find yourself booking The Caddis Shack for next year's adventure before you even depart. Enjoy your stay!

About the host
Hosted by marina smith
I originally bought this house for my father to live in and then turned it into a vacation rental. As of 2024, I have really upgraded the house again and I think you will find this home very comfortable. I have tried to fully stock everything you might need, but if I missed anything, just give me a call and I will do my best to accommodate your needs.
I do all of the cleaning and yard work myself, so am intimately aware of the property, and am available to you with just a phone call. I tend to be a "hands-off host" and won't be dropping by to meet you or check in on you, unless you would like me to. Aside from doing yard work on a weekly basis, I will be available as needed but won't bother you during your stay. I hope you enjoy your privacy, and your time spent at The Caddis Shack.

Why they chose this property
This property is situated in what is known as "old Ennis", which means it has big mature trees to offset those warm summer days. The Caddis Shack is perfect for a couple looking for a comfortable spot to base their Madison Valley vacation out of. It is affordable, well appointed, comfortable and convenient. If needed, it can sleep up to 6 people but is ideal for a couple. Ennis is a quaint small Montana town with festivals, a world-famous 4th of July parade, rodeos, art walks, a golf course, antique and gift shops, a wonderful library, a brewery, a distillery and several good restaurants/bars, all within an easy walking distance of the house.
What makes this property unique
This little house was one of the original homes in Ennis but is newly remodeled and modern. The location, in the 'old' part of town assures big mature shade trees and the quaintness of small town America. It has a residential/commercial zoning, and is surrounded by commercial buildings, which are used little, so you won't have a bunch of noisy neighbors bothering your vacation time! Off street parking is a bonus, and the close proximity to downtown makes everything in town an easy walk for most.
