Perfect for Couples Or Families Up To 4 In Lovely Two Story Log Home

This is a comfortable log cabin with great attention to detail set on our cattle ranch in the Melville area where our families have lived for generations. Otter Creek is a small, beautiful stream and is just steps away from the back door. There are miles of hiking, bird watching and photographic opportunities; scenic and wildlife views surround you. This is for the nature lover, those who love the outdoors and all it offers. We have a private reservoir a short walk from the cabin, and with prior arrangements (check with Annie upon arrival for available days) you are welcome to use our kayaks and paddleboards to enjoy the water. There is also an opportunity for horseback riding for an additional fee mid-June to mid-Sept at the nearby Sweet Grass Ranch.

The space

The hand-built cabin has a living room with lovely views of the Crazy Mountains, comfortable stuffed hickory chairs and sofa, wagon wheel lights. The dining area has a hickory table which seats 6 easily by a picture window or there is a back deck for eating where you can listen to Otter Creek and watch one of our glorious sunsets as you watch deer, fox and birds enjoy the evening. The kitchen has a full refrigerator with freezer section, microwave, toaster, sink, dishes, utensils and cups and glasses. The stove has 4 burners and an oven. There are cooking utensils, pans, etc., in the cupboards as well as some cooking essentials. There is also a wood burning stove in the living room for that unbeatable wood heat.
Through a hallway is the bathroom with tub and shower and another mountain view. The bedroom downstairs has a queen bed, cozy comforter, bedside lights for reading and an overhead light, dresser and closet. This window looks out on the lawn and Bill and Shelly’s log home.
Up the stairs is a half loft with two twin beds, oak dressers, chairs and a spotting scope with a view that goes for miles. There is a ceiling fan in the living room which circulates the propane heat. All the rooms are well-appointed with Indian rugs, pictures, plenty of lights and books.

Guest access
There is hiking for miles on the ranch, which runs all the way up to the base of the Crazies. Please check with Rocco or Annie upon arrival, and we will point you in the right direction and answer any questions. Hiking recommendations may vary based on if you have dogs with you and where our cattle are at the time of your stay. We do not allow you to drive anywhere on the ranch other than to the cabin.

The Otter Creek Cabin provides the perfect opportunity to reconnect with family and enjoy the simple pleasures as there is no television. We do have WiFi.

We ask that you do not smoke in the cabin.
