Historic Family Style Homestead Cabin

Quaint cabin on private 230 acre ranch. Snowmobiler and Cross/back country skier can directly access Forest Service Land from our ranch.
Built by original Norwegian homesteader. Sleeps 6 comfortably with 2 queens and trundle twins. Recently renovated bathroom and new gas stove update the look of this first non-log cabin built in the upper swan valley. Cabin layout may require some concessions to frontier lifestyle as first residents built cabin with pragmatism in mind. See pictures for more clarity. Part of 3 cabin set on Meadowland Ranch: The Lazy Bean, The Homestead Cabin and The Hunters Cabin all listed in the VRBO

Great cabin getaway

Great little cabin with some history in the Swan Valley. The cabin was clean, and our host, Andy, was fantastic and fun to chat with. The view off the front porch is very scenic, and we often saw wildlife (deer, wild turkeys, sandhill cranes) in the area. We will definitely return in the future.

Wonderful time

Cute cabin in a great location. It is very cozy and having the propane fireplace makes for a nice rustic ambiance. We are mid 60’s to early seventies so the steep stairs to the loft sleeping area posed a slight challenge but we made do. We’ve stayed at other properties at this location and Andy is always gracious, accommodating, and communicative.

Cozy little cabin with a surprising amount of space and a glorious view across a meadow towards snow-capped mountains. Didn't see or need the property manager, but they were just a phone call away. Loved it.

Fantastic Views!

The Swan Valley is an incredibly beautiful area. This extensive ranch has 3 cabin rentals with plenty of privacy and room to roam. We were in the valley to kayak the numerous lakes and this cabin is a perfect location. Andy is a great host who will give you privacy or answer any of your questions. He is very knowledgeable about the people and history of this part of Montana. He was also very good at helping to make your stay comfortable.

Meadow of our dreams

First off, this area is absolutely gorgeous + Andy was able to guide us on where to go in the Swan Valley. My group even stayed home one day just to experience the views that the cabin and property has to offer. Andy was incredibly helpful and responsive and helped with anything we needed. Firewood was left out for us and kitchen was well stocked. Only downside was the bugs but no one can control that!

Epic

The property had beautiful views and was peaceful. It was close to Holland Falls and Holland Lake where we planned to spend a day. The cabin was basic which was expected and we were happy with it. It had a lot of interesting decor and books. Andy, the owner was really fun to talk to. He shared a lot of interesting information about the property, cabin and wildlife. We enjoyed his positive vibes!

Awesome place!

Beautiful scenery from the cabin! Very quiet. Cabin is warm and cozy! Andy is great. I took his advice and went on a hike he suggested. He didn’t steer me wrong, it was a gorgeous hike and not touristy like the place I hard originally chosen. So glad I listened. Thank you Andy! I will definitely be back!

Swan Valley get away

We are repeat customers to the Homestead. The views are serene, the birds (especially the Great Gray Owls) and wildlife are spectacular, and the cabin is lovely. Andy is a wealth of knowledge if you just ask and is always readily available should there be problems...but really, what kind of problem can you possibly have, when you have all the rest!!! Close to a little store and great kayaking and hiking. We'll be back again!!!

Charming Cabin in Wonderful Setting

Took a long weekend away from bustling Kalispell. The cabin was exactly as pictured and the setting prettier than a picture. The gas woodstove was much appreciated and easy to use. The cabin seems well insulated and held the right temps morning and night. Great central location to explore the Swan Valley. Condon Community Church is just a few minutes away and is very friendly and welcoming. Andy and his wife are very sweet, genuine and thoughtful - as is his darling momma. We were very blessed to see the Northern Lights for two nights of our stay. A very memorable birthday and Mother’s Day!

Quaint and Quirky

This place was just right for us. We were personally greeted by the host, Andy, upon arriving. We were in the area visiting family. It was nice to have a comfortable and cozy retreat when we wanted time to ourselves. If you have never been to the area, you’ll fall in love with the scenic beauty of the mountains. It’s truly majestic. I was hooked on the mud pie at the Hungry Bear, the local restaurant. And you can get gas, groceries, and most anything else you need at the Merc. I recommend this cabin. It was a good value.

Perfect Birthday Getaway

Best birthday yet. The location, fascinating history, PERFECT picturesque coffee sippin mountain gazin front porch, fireplace, comfortable beds, trails at the door and privacy…made it really challenging to leave. And best of all - the genuine kindness of the hosts and their intentional nostalgic decor and little comforts placed throughout make you feel immediately welcomed as if you’re family. There’s an old favorite book floating around for everyone topped with all of the favorite classic board games. If you’re looking for a reset, a getaway from technology and a reminder to replace screens with moments of being present with those you love, then this place is for you. I’m already planning our next stay and I’m just so grateful to have found this gem. Thank you for sharing it all, Andy and fam. 100/100.

The Quintessential Montana Getaway

If you are one who values peace and quiet, this is the place to come and soak it up. Truly a restful experience in this idyllic mountain setting. Upon arrival we were greeted by a Great Grey Owl. My husband and I are photographers, and we couldn't even begin to unload our gear due to having this rare photo opportunity. After a bit, our host appeared. This was the beginning of what is going to be a long friendship. Every good thing that has been written about Andy is true. He is the stellar example of what a host should be. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay; it went way beyond our expectations. A photographer's paradise, slow pace and quiet, bring your own food to cook on site or, enjoy an awesome meal prepared at the Mercantile just down the road. There are lakes to discover and trails to hike. Plan on staying as long as you can because it is worth it! P.S. Andy likes quiche.
