Swap the usual log cabin with a contemporary beauty called The Blackfoot. A studio cabin that can fit up to four people, it’s walking distance away from Flathead Lake and other outdoor recreational pursuits.

No trip to Montana is complete without staying in a large cabin. This one’s been restored to its full glory and updated with modern conveniences, such as all-new kitchen appliances, mood lighting, upgraded bathrooms, and a hot tub.

There are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, accommodating up to 12 people. You can visit the elk farm down the road, and you can go skiing in the winter at Blacktail Mountain Ski Area.

Minimum Nights: 2
Refund Policy : 100% refund if you cancel at least 60 days before check-in.
