This was one of the best VRBOs I have ever stayed at and I have stayed at many. It was so clean and so well stocked. The location was beautiful. The host thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We loved seeing all the wild life around the house every day. It made for a very memorable stay.
Beautiful house, awesome location on the river. We had wild turkeys, big horn sheep and deer all around us.
The kitchen was the best and stocked with anything you need to cook which I love to do!!
Very beautiful setting and house. Owners took great thought in making sure all your needs were covered and communicated very well. Well equipped kitchen for meals and comfy beds too!! Lots of wildlife all around and plenty of day trips to enjoy and capture the beauty of Montana with your camera. Thank you Deborah and Erik for a wonderful, much needed relaxing get away.
Very clean and nicely decorated cabin. Hosts were very easy to work with. Very relaxing having the river out your back door. Would stay again if returning to Libby.
From start to finish this place was exactly as described. Peaceful, quiet and a wonderful overall experience. Eric and Deb sent messages on things happening in town that were great recommendations. If you’re looking for quiet and secluded place to stay look no further.
We had an amazing stay in Libby! Deb and Eric were great hosts who were very communicative, had a beautiful property and thought of every last amenity you might need in their home. We used their cabin as a home base while visiting family and friends in Libby, and it was like we had transplanted our own home there. We had a perfect place to rest our weary bodies after each day’s exploration. We had plenty of room, beds were comfy, living room and outdoor spaces so comfortable, kitchen perfect and well-stocked. Thanks for sharing your place and letting us make some fantastic memories there too!
we took a road trip, stayed at 3 homes and this one was the BEST. absolutely loved the quiet beautiful setting, the house was immaculate and had everything you could ever want. the owners were sooooooo great about making sure everything was perfect and it was. we have stayed in several homes over the years and this is number one on our list. hope we can come back and stay longer. thank you, thank you, thank you for caring so much about making your home and our stay perfect. dean and shari degraffenreid
This log home on the banks of the Kootenai River was just what we were seeking for our NW Montana vacation. Eric and Deborah certainly put a lot of thought and effort into anticipating our needs for an enjoyable stay. The home is beautiful, comfortable, clean and well supplied. There are endless opportunities for recreation in the surrounding area, so another vacation there is planned! We really enjoyed morning and evening walks and all the wonderful wildlife. Deer, turkey, bighorn sheep, rabbits, bald eagles, ducks, bald eagles and golden eagles abound. It’s a great place to take in the Montana magic!
We loved our time at this sweet VRBO. This host has truly thought of everything and all you must do is come and relax. We had a ball here watching the bighorn, deer, rabbits and turkey. The property is located in the most perfect river setting. The host was very responsive and helpful. We rent a lot of vrbos a year and this one was top notch and blew us away with the organization and thought to detail. My crew went fly fishing, did the falls and suspension bridge, went to the splash pad in town and checked out the dam. It was a great escape from our very high paced life back in Texas. Can't wait to come back.
The property was very well appointed. The owner went above expectations with prompt and very helpful communication. We especially enjoyed the suggestions of what to do in the area.
The use it, leave it, deplete it replace it directive was so appreciated. After traveling a long distance it was an easy transition to making this home “ our home” without having to immediately go to the grocery store.
The local wild life was awesome to see. Unfortunately in bear country there were no bear sightings. Perhaps a good thing!
Thanks a bunch!

The touches were amazing. I can safely say I’ve never stayed at a vacation property that offers this level of amenities. Everything is clearly labeled and easy to find. Serving plates, plates, saucers, pans, trays, simply everything you can think of. Seasonings and spices. Need a telescope? There is one in the closet. Need a hiking backpack? Closet! Wanna take a bath? It’s like being in a store. An entire display shelf, sorry two entire shelves, of product to use. Want to send a post card? They had one in the wall pre-stamped. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. I can tell you love it by the level of care you put into the property. Thank you for sharing it with us!
I was in Libby for the week for work and we had a hotel booked for myself, finance, and work associate. We checked into our hotel which is the "best hotel in Libby" after visiting our rooms we walked directly out. We didn't spend 5 minutes in that dark, old place. I then frantically looked at vrbo for ANYTHING remotely close to Libby in the parking lot of the hotel. I couldn't spend a work week in that hotel. Then I found this cabin right on the river and prayed it was available, and it was! I booked the week straight and Eric was quick to respond to my Libby SOS lol! They got the place ready for us and they let us check in early which was HUGE as we had lots of online work to do etc. Upon arriving we were greeted by big horned sheep on the dead end river road, which was awesome! I was greeted by Deborah who owns the cabin with her husband Eric. She was working hard to get everything perfect for us, we were the first visitors they rented too, which was a pleasant surprise. This cabin is not only spotless but beautiful, something you see in the movies. She gave me a quick tour and we all sighed with relief after seeing the perfect Montana cabin . Our trip to Montana was saved by this cabin, no joke. If we had to stay at the hotel it would have been miserable. The cabin was so organized and they have every accommodation you can ask for, from toothpicks to pasta, this place had it all. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone. The cabin is right on the river which was great to sit by with coffee, and it's great fishing as well. I am so grateful for this cabin beyond words, Thank you Eric and Deborah for the opportunity!
Deborah and Eric are fantastic hosts. They are highly communicative, very organized and do an excellent job of minding the details. The house and property are immaculate and the location is outstanding. No doubt, a 5 out of 5.
My family and I loved this peaceful cabin! It was very clean, organized, and comfortable. Not to mention the beautiful scenery! We would definitely recommend! Easy 5 stars.
If you want to stay in a beautiful log home right on the Kootenai River and close to Libby this home is for you. The home is immaculate and complete with everything you will need. The drive back and forth from Libby has tons of deer, big horn sheep and turkeys. Highly recommended!
Amazing family vacation destination! All the right elements for a wonderful stay. The perfect hosts with superb communication who offered helpful information about the surrounding area and options. Very attentive hosts who truly want you to have the most enjoyable stay as possible. The location is perfect for feeling removed but being close enough to amenities that it is not inconvenient to run into town for supplies. The home embodies all the rustic elements that one would desire in Montana with modern convenience of internet if desired. Beautiful river right out your back door that beckons and train across the way that was a fun surprise. Paved road on way in is perfect for biking as well as access at end of dead end road to hiking and biking trails. Wildlife abound and enjoyed visits from deer, turkeys and big horn sheep. You will not be disappointed! Didn't want to leave and can't wait to return!
The best house to call it home. High speed internet/WiFi to work remotely. Super comfortable oversized king bed. Deers, turkeys and bighorn sheep - you can find it sneaking around a house a whole day. Nice view of mountains and swift river. 2 hours from West Glacier by a good maintained road - a good choice to visit Glacier NP on weekends. I definitely would stay here again in the future. Thank you, Eric and Deborah, for this gem in Montana!
