About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Our Little Cabin, Life as it should be....Then comes Winter....

Winter is a fickle season at Our Little Cabin. Brilliant blue skies, but subzero temperatures, 15” of snow in a day or no snow for days, or 45 balmy degrees and mud. For this reason, we greatly limit access to the cabin during these unpredictable months. The cabin is not available during late November -through February. There may be limited availability in Feb- March. April too can be iffy. Because of this, I turn off instant booking and instead ask that if you think you’re interested, you contact us with an inquiry. We consider each request on a case-by-case basis, dependent upon weather, cabin accessibility, and individuals pioneering spirit and winter experience.

Photos show both the Winter and Summer season, just for a little contrast.

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.

Our 6th Wedding Anniversary!
We were totally surprised on how the cabin look and felt once we arrived. Kent and Maribeth were off the charts with humanity and hospitality. They seemed as if they created one of the best atmospheres for rest with a mix of pleasure and a dash of awesomeness, topped off with a large scoop of beauty covered in Montana ahhh. The view of wildlife in their natural habitat was superb, along with the exploring of the Bison Range. I can't forget the recommendation for a nice Anniversary dinner from Kent in the Flathead Indian Reservation. I must recommend the "Wild Game Meatloaf"!! The Sapphire mines in Philipsburg was very interesting place to visit, along with the town being visited by a couple of young Mule Deer. We enjoyed a nice lunch at Doe Bro's soda shop, I had the Elk burger that was very delicious! Missoula's carousel was very interesting to visit as well. We missed out of the Grizzly Encounter due to being snowed in. But again to come back to the cabin to light a fire in the antique wood stove and to enjoy a nice home cooked meal with my best friend/my wife was what I was looking for!!! The bottle of wine and the small chocolates from the local Candy Store were just a sweet tooth's Heaven. We can't wait to take out kids and our Godson out there to experience what we did! BTW their version of the luggage cart really helped us alot and it too put a nice touch to our stay. The lack of cable and TV was not missed what so ever. WE WILL BE BACK 2024!!

Winter Wonderland
Our family stayed at the 'little cabin' for Spring Break , and we had a fantastic time! We enjoyed skiing/snowshoeing, gem hunting, playing games, star gazing, cooking, and all the wildlife. The location is beautiful, and the cabin is like a dream inside-so cozy with lovely furnishings. It is just perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful beauty of Montana. The hosts are superb and have thought of everything. We are so grateful for this trip and plan to stay again.
