Effie Oasis: Enjoy a peaceful 2-bedroom home on 40 acres.

Welcome to our freshly remodeled cabin nestled into 40 beautiful acres of Aspen, Balsam, and Spruce forest. Unplug from technology and enjoy wandering our 2 miles of trails, curl up with a book on the oversized furniture, or play a game with the family at the kitchen table. Cap off the evening with a bonfire and some steaks on the grill! Remodeled in 2021!

The property was very cute and comfortable! The kids enjoyed having the swings and the screened in porch was great for sitting with a book and relaxing.

Great location only about 15 minutes from Big Fork. Pretty buggy but what else do you expect being up north and luckily they have a screened in patio to still be able to enjoy the outdoors. They have everything you need and all of the furniture is super comfortable!

The Effie Oasis is an incredible retreat space. The house was clean and stocked and the land, filled with named walking trails, gave space to explore and be in nature!

Nice private modern house with a wooded setting. Saw several deer, grouse and rabbits. Grouse were drumming. We enjoyed our 5 day stay.

It was great to spend some time with friends at Bob’s cabin. The trails are beautiful, the property is well kept, and the cabin is cute and well equipped! Lawn games, fire pit, perfectly clean,comfortable beds, etc. It’s a great place, and Bob is a terrific host.

Beautiful property and beautiful home. Everything inside was very nice-furniture, appliances, kitchen utensils, dishware, bedding and towels. I really appreciated the hiking guide with the map-nice touch. And we loved the fire pit as well. I thought it was odd that Jehovah’s Witnesses showed up on the doorstep our first morning there since we were a few miles outside of Effie, and even further away from where I saw their church in Big Fork. Other than that weird encounter, my friend and I were extremely satisfied with the accommodations.
