My son and I loved the little cabins. The people are super friendly and the price was really good. I would definitely recommend to anyone traveling. I will also be staying here again when I come back to visit my oldest son. They keep the place very clean.

Easy check-in and great communication. We really liked the location of this cabin, about 30 minutes from Butte in a quiet and small community. It was nice to spend the day exploring the larger towns/sites in the area and having a quiet and cozy place to rest for the night. We received great recommendations of things to do and places to eat from the host. We stayed two nights and our cabin was tidied and restocked with toiletries, towels, etc. while we were out and about which we didn’t expect but really appr

It was such a sweet location that had us feeling right at home. Such a lovely cabin just outside Butte, MT. Susan was super helpful and responsive and we had everything we could’ve needed for our short visit.

Our stay at Susan’s place was a delightful stop on our journey from West Yellowstone to Glacier National Park. The location was conveniently close to Butte, making it a perfect rest point.

The cabin itself was incredibly cute and cozy, providing us with a comfortable retreat. Susan was a friendly and responsive host, ensuring that our stay was enjoyable.
A highlight of our visit was visiting the restaurant down the street, The Hitchin’ Post. The food and service there were outstanding, and we’d highly recommend future guests to give it a try.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Susan’s place and would gladly return.

Susan was very kind and welcoming. We had a heater issue that she immediately took care when we told her. We would stay there again. Melrose is beautiful, our cabin was comfortable and there is a great bar/restaurant in town to eat at.

Susan was responsive as we needed a place that we could park our oversized work vehicle. She even assigned us a different cabin so parking was great. We were traveling for work, and running a large load for a special client in the late fall. We also needed an electrical outlet to plug (our diesel engine heater in, as our diesel doesn’t like it when it falls below 30 degrees). The cabin was great, very clean and had everything we needed for one night. Good WIFI as well. Easy on and off the highway. Susans’ communication was fabulous. Would stay again on our next trip through.
