Staying at this lovely cabin was one of our highlights during our time in Montana. The surrounding area is beautiful and the Falls hike is one of the nicest hikes I did in Montana. This place is a best kept secret.

I absolutely love this little cabin. Very comfortable to stay in. I just wish the parking lot was graveled to cut back on the mud.
