About this property

Recreation Enthusiasts Getaway

Rent “Blind Jakes” a gem of a property and be inspired by the history and landscape that the legendary western artist Charlie Russell felt years ago. Located in the heart of the Little Belt Mountains (Lewis and Clark National Forest) across from Russell point, out the front gate, you will access hundreds of miles of maintained ATV, snowmobile and 4x4 trails. If fishing or hunting is on your agenda you’re in luck (hunting district 448). A stroll out the front door is the S. Fork of the Judith River where brook trout swim. Snowshoeing, fire pit, elk viewing, bird watching, swimming hole... it’s all here. This quaint 800 sq ft 1 bed, 1 bath cabin (sleeps 3) is well suited for any Montana adventurer(s).

Remote, charming , homey and memorable with incredible scenery and abundant wildlife. If hiking, inquire about the trail to “Window Rock” for a quick uphill hike to a pass through cave w stunning views of our valley. This is truly an epic area for outdoor adventurers or anyone who wants to relax in a very comfortable, well appointed, true Montanan cabin with lots of good feels. This property is security surveilled at the front and rear entrances.🙂

Tucked Away Cabin With Everything You Need!

Our stay for an "ATV/get out of dodge week" in MT wilderness was perfect! This cozy cabin had SO many extras - maps, binoculars to glass the area, spices, toiletries, games, lawn chairs, cornhole, WIFI (yes, in the middle of the National Forest!). If you love the Belt Mountains but are too old to truly "rough" it, this is a no-brainer rental. Kim was easy to communicate with and has obviously put thought into what people need/want.

Loved this place!!!

We stayed here for three weeks and absolutely loved it. Connected with some locals for SXS rides (referred by host) and enjoyed sunrises and sunsets from the porch in an absolutely stunning location. Cabin is nicely appointed and stocked with a million little things you might forget. This is super handy because it takes a while to get anywhere - the location is remote. Get groceries and gas before you arrive! Cell phones didn't work but cabin had Wifi and that was super helpful. Would definately recommend to others who are looking for a chill, comfortable out-of-the-way spot where you can explore trails and/or leave the busyness behind.

Clean, cozy cabin in the woods

Great little cabin in the woods. Very well stocked with all amenities we could ask for. Very comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen, DVD movies, great shower, plenty of outdoor games to play! It made a great base camp for hiking and fishing in the area.

Montana Hunting Trip

We couldnt of asked for a better set-up. The weather was great just not cold enough or lack of snow for the elk to cooperate. We will be back hopefully if successful with draw. The cabin has everything you could ask for. Life is a little better getting up from a warm bed than a cot in a tent. The host was spot on with all amentities. Thank you very much

Wonderful getaway/unplug!!

The cabin has all the necessary amenities but none of the outside distractions. There were several little touches that were special (like a bag of ice in the freezer, a wonderful assortment of spices, and comfortable outdoor chairs.) Everything felt like a home. It seemed that they cared about who stayed there with the instructions to "use what you need".

Beautiful Mountain Setting

Fantastic property! My husband and I stayed at the cabin with our dog for 9 days. It’s fenced in Montana-style, with wood posts and some barbed wire to make up for the big gaps but our pup understood (for the most part!) that it was a boundary. The front porch had views for days and it was so relaxing to sit there and watch nature, day or night. The inside is remodeled with updated appliances, solid surface countertops, durable floors, comfy bed… the pics, while accurate, don’t do it justice. There seems to be two RV hookups on side of the house (we didn’t have an RV so didn’t test them out) and ample space for RVs, tents, trailers, ORVs… an outdoor enthusiasts paradise! You can see a few cabins, and a small one has been built on the property adjacent to the cabin, but there was never anyone at them. There is a small community in the area but they are all super friendly and quiet. We hauled our Polaris General to the cabin and while there were a ton of trails for us to explore, we could have gone on many more with four wheelers or a trail width side by side. But the ones we could access were so much fun and had amazing views! If you like hiking, make sure to check out Daisy Narrows on the south end of the Little Belts about half an hour out of Harlowton! Worth the drive!

Fourth of July Fun

We booked this cabin as a place to spend the weekend of the 4th, to get out of town and enjoy the mountains. We immediately felt at home, thanks to the outstanding preparations made for us as well as the great kitchen for cooking, washer and dryer, and items for shower and personal use if we needed them. This cabin was stocked better than we kept our own cabin in years past ! There is a big yard where our dogs ran and played, and a porch where we could sit in our rocking chairs and watch younger families at play with their RV’s and tents, 4-wheelers, and dirt bikes. The cabin is very comfortable and pleasant for reading or napping if a rainstorm passes through. No internet or TV, just DVD’s…so prepare to have some time to enjoy yourselves without those other distractions. A great place to reset. We had a wonderful time. Thank you, Kimberly.

Incredible Property!

This was one of our favorite VRBOs ever! Check in was very simple and the owners were very easy to communicate with. This cabin is absolutely wonderful. It was small, but so cozy and inviting - we truly felt at home. Having no wifi or cell service may not be for everyone, and we were admittedly a little worried about it, but we learned very quickly that it didn’t matter one bit! They have a very easy to use screen share on their TV that can hook up to your cell phone or laptop to play downloaded movies or shows and they have a TON of DVDs there for your use. The family room has 3 super comfy couches, a good sized dining table, and a beautifully decorated kitchen with brand new modern appliances (including a convection oven and gas stove). The bed was very comfortable and we slept so well! The shower had great water pressure and the hot water never ran out. They even had a brand new high end washer and dryer with detergent, dryer sheets, etc. There was a hair dryer and extra shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The kitchen had a ton of spices, olives oil, butter, etc. The property is fenced in, which was very helpful with our dog, and is surrounded by Lewis and Clark National Forest with tons of hiking opportunities. We enjoyed wading in the beautiful river and exploring the national forest. We saw deer, elk, and even a brown bear! This property is so peaceful and beautiful, the best part was sitting in the rocking chairs outside, reading a book and enjoying the scenery. We hope to come back!

Off the grid

We had a wonderful time staying at Wayne and Kimberly’s cabin. Their directions were a huge help and made it a breeze to find the property. The cabin was cozy and comfortable for our family of three and well stocked with anything you could need. It was a great location for hiking and checking out the area, including great animal spotting (bear, elk and many mule deer). It was a truly peaceful location and such a perfect getaway to unplug without the distraction of our cell phones or wi-fi. Even without the modern comforts the cabin kept us entertained with tons of dvds and games on a rainy day spent indoors. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Fantastic Spot

We love this cabin and its location. It is super comfortable and decorated perfectly. The luv seat camp chair was the perfect way to enjoy the fire pit while watching the sun go down. We were lucky enough to see all sorts of cool birds every morning and loads of mule deer every evening. We even had a moose and her calf hang out across the road one evening. Kimberly was super responsive and left a nice note for us. The cabin has everything we could have needed - also the bath towels smell amazing😊 We certainly plan to rent this place again.

Unplugged Oasis

No need for technology with views like these! With two children under two in tow, this was the perfect get away. Easy to find on a well maintained road, close to the water, and the National Forest for your back yard! Our little crew was quite content in this comfortable cabin. The front porch offered a perfect setting for a little cocktail hour during afternoon naps!

Unplugged

Amazing spot in the middle of a gorgeous National park. Million dollar views from the front porch rockers, enjoyed the abundant wildlife and trail diversity. We have never been this unplugged since before smartphones. Bring your 4 wheel drive vehicle and a atv/utv. Cabin was comfortable and as advertised. We would definitely return.

If you want to unplug

Beautiful cabin tucked in the mountains. Cabin is decorated beautifully. It has a wonderful kitchen, bed was very comfy, and porch for looking at the views and animals. Be sure you gas up and get your groceries before you arrive. No cell service, wifi or cable. Lots of hiking and off road adventures. Perfect for that get away! We'll be back !!!
