The A-frame Cabin - Bonner-West Riverside

Tucked among a peaceful forest with mountain views, The A-Frame Cabin is a cozy off-grid retreat designed for couples, close friends, and solo travelers looking to slow down, disconnect, and reconnect with nature.

Located in Bonner, Montana, The Hohnstead is just 15 minutes from KettleHouse Amphitheater, 25 minutes from downtown Missoula, and about 35 minutes from Missoula International Airport (MSO). You'll feel a world away from traffic and busy schedules, while still being close enough to enjoy concerts, restaurants, outdoor adventures, and everything western Montana has to offer.

Wake to birdsong instead of alarms. Spend your morning sipping coffee while sunlight filters through the trees, relax in your hammock during the afternoon, and explore the quiet trails surrounding the cabin. As evening arrives, soak in the shared hot tub beneath Montana's dark skies, then return to your A-frame and raise the translucent stargazing wall to fall asleep beneath the stars.

The A-Frame Cabin combines the nostalgia of a mountain cabin with the unique experience of sleeping closer to nature.
