Tucked into over 100 forested acres, the Ranch Hand Cabin is a peaceful place to unplug, reconnect, and settle into the rhythm of the woods — while still being close to it all. You’re just 15 minutes from KettleHouse Amphitheater & Brewery and 25 minutes from Missoula, yet surrounded by trees, mountain views, and deep quiet.
This cabin is ideal for couples, solo travelers, and dog-friendly adventures who value comfort, simplicity, and space to breathe.

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THIS CABIN AND SEASONALITY:

During these months, guests often enjoy:
Being the only guests on the property
Extra peace and quiet
Private access to shared amenities, including the Commons Area and hot tub
A slower, more intimate experience of the land
MINIMUM STAYS:
Shoulder season (April, May, October, November): 1-night minimum
High season (June–September): 2-night minimum

Insulated for cooler-season comfort
AC power
Coffee & tea setup with fresh water provided
