About this property

Our Little Cabin, Life As It Should Be

  • Fall is in the air - Blue sky days and cool evenings. Aspen are taking on a slight hint of gold . " Our Little Cabin" is ready for you! Here it is so quiet you can hear birds sing, deer snort and if you want, yourself think! Located in a meadow/wooded rural setting and approximately 8 miles from Philipsburg. This rustic cozy 1 room cabin is comfortably furnished for a relaxing stay. The cupola allows for stargazing from bed, an 1890's wood stove provides warmth and ambiance.
    Since your coming to this area, you likely have done some research and are aware of the rich history in mining and the fun of panning for sapphires. For us the outdoors plays a large part in our lives. In the summer, kayaking the numerous rivers and lakes, casting a fly hoping to attract a trout, hiking a trail in the Pintler Anaconda Wildernesses or Sapphire Mountains. Then there is just settling beneath a tree and reading a good book.

    The cabin is reached by a private gravel road and drive. After years of vacationing in the cabin we built our home here. You likely will see us ( and our dogs Darby and Dixon) outside working on a project, low key and out of your way.

This cabin was the PERFECT place for a relaxing weekend. Our hosts were so gracious and had wonderful stories about the property. This was hands down the BEST place we could've picked for a sweet romantic weekend away with our dog. I highly recommend booking this cozy little cabin!

This is a great get away location. It's perfect to escape to. Very peaceful and quiet. No sounds except the Birds singing away. We arrived on Monday afternoon and left on Wednesday morning and should have stayed longer. The views were awesome, saw some wildlife and had every type of weather and loved it all. A great little cabin to relax in. Will be doing it again!!

Spent a cold and rainy weekend at the cabin and absolutely loved it, especially with a fire in the stove! Very friendly and hospitable hosts! I didn’t need anything during my stay because they had taken care of so many details, yet I have no doubt they would have quickly helped answer questions or resolve problems had they arisen. A quiet, safe, and cozy gem of a place worth venturing off the beaten path for. Great place to unplug and enjoy MT!

Amazing

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.

Idyllic Cozy Cabin with Spectacular Hosts

My husband and son and I had a wonderful stay at Maribeth and Kent's cozy little cabin! We cooked in the kitchen, played board games and records, and thoroughly enjoyed the nature this property has to offer - deer, squirrels, chipmunks, hummingbirds, butterflies and more! Maribeth and Kent were so welcoming and knowledgeable, and we loved meeting them! Everything was perfect!

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.

The cabin experience was perfect for us. We came to Philipsburg to do the sapphire mining and explore the nature. Mirabeth was very helpful. She was always responding to questions, provided great tips for places to eat, to explore and overall made sure we are comfortable and taken care of. The cabin is located close to beautiful places, we mined at Gem Mountain. Visited ringing rocks, Lewis and Clark caverns and more. The cabin has everything that you need: shower, bbq, mini fridge, tea, coffee. It’s decorated with love. I recommend the place and the hosts. The place felt like home
