1. Property with hot tub under cottonwood canopy (from USD 232)
This unique two-bed property for up to four guests is absolutely stunning. The hosts have carefully designed every feature of this wooden cottage from reclaimed wood, black iron, and metal accents. Not only is the property itself stunning but the mountain view will also take your breath away. We love the outdoor hot-tub, which is perfect for relaxing under the cottonwoods. Inside the open plan living room/kitchen, there is plenty of room to relax and unwind. The first bedroom is inside the property whereas the second is just a few short steps outside the back door. Each are well decorated, comfortable and spacious.

2. Peaceful, cozy guest-wing in a country setting (from USD 100)
Walking through the pretty little garden area, you’ll feel right at home. The spacious living room has a cottage feel, with large leather sofas, a wooden-fire and flat screen television. The two bedrooms are compact, and we adore the traditionally carved wooden bedframes. There is a kitchenette which comes equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and kettle. However, if you want cooked meals then this can be arranged with the host.

4. Cabin in Metcalf Ranch (from USD 135)
Another immaculate wooden cabin for our list, this time in Lower Deer Creek, and with two bedrooms it is ideal for a party of four. By staying at this property you can enjoy the best of both words: the cabin itself is nestled in a 1000 acre (404 hectare) ranch, whilst Big Timber, with its restaurants, shopping and amenities, is just 10 minutes away. There is a small kitchenette, with open plan living room. The room is compact but with 1000 acres to play in, we’re sure that you’ll be spending most of your time outside.

This peaceful mountain studio is ideal for couples, or nature enthusiasts, and is still just 8 miles (12 km) from the main area of Big Timber.
