Heaven on Earth

After our first visit to Two Feathers two years ago and life throwing us lots of curveballs this past year, my husband and I knew we could get the R&R we needed here. We were able to disconnect from the world and reconnect with ourselves, each other and nature, and this is the perfect place to do that! We’ve traveled a good bit in our lives, and this is by far our very favorite destination. We’ll be daydreaming of Two Feathers until we return. Thankful we get to enjoy this piece of heaven on Earth!

Best Vaction Ever

This property is all it says it is and more. The property manager was great. I loved her. I absolutely loved everything about this property. We booked this trip for our 12-year-old who is an avid fisherman and wanted to fly fish in Montana. He was in heaven. I can't express how happy we all were but for me the photography opportunities were everywhere. Saturday, we spent the entire day at the river. My son caught 3 trout and hundreds of crawdads. We even got to meet the neighbors, the owner's brother and friend Bob, came canoeing down the river. It was great. I am already planning my next trip. I really want to bring my parents and my adult kids. A big thank you for Ruth and her husband for sharing their property with us. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Dearborn River Cabin

Awesome trip - off the grid cabin in a beautiful valley on the Dearborn River. Even though we weren’t at high season, we caught fish every day. If you enjoy fishing and the great outdoors and want some time to enjoy life in the moment, this cabin will be great for you.

Off the Grid Paradise!

There are not enough stars to show how great this place is!! Our Host Ruth was great to work with and did all she could to make this a great vacation. The mountain views, the wildlife, the river in front of the property and last but not least....the front porch, which we sat on and just looked at the mountains and river every morning and night. This made this one of the best vacations ever. We had a family of deer, a family of wild turkeys, rabbits, birds and more come right in the front of the property to enjoy each day. This place is not near a big city and a small town is about 30 minutes away, so if you want to unplug, you will enjoy the peace & quiet. Enjoy!

Dreamy

To say that we enjoyed our stay is quite an understatement. Even writing this review, I'm having difficulty finding the right words to describe how amazing this place is and how much we enjoyed our stay. We are outdoorsy and love to tent camp, but we brought my dad on this trip and thought a little modern comfort would go a long way. It was the perfect combination of "off-grid" and comforts of home. The only thing that would have made our trip better is getting to stay longer! The cabin had plenty of seating and sleeping spaces; we never felt crowded. There were plenty of towels, dishes, and cookware. The cabin was clean and linens were fresh. The kids slept on the porch every night underneath the stars. We were all able to enjoy the peace around us and reconnect without modern technologies interfering. Every day we walked down to the river to fish, swim, and jump off rocks ( even we parents). The owners and property manager were incredibly accomodating and communicative. This stay/experience is probably THE best we've ever had through VRBO. We will definitely be back as many times as we can.

Wonderful location

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this property. Words can not accurately describe the peacefulness of this property. With the mountain setting back into the Montana wilderness it is perfect for those wanting to get away from all the business of internet and cell phones. We hiked the property, fished in in the river. It was low but we were still able to find a few spots that had trout. This is one VBRO we would book another stay. We like to chose different locations to return to but this one is so wonderful we would book a return trip.

Stay in Two Feathers Lodge, August 8 to 14, 2022

I stayed in this cabin on the Dearborn with my two sisters for 6 days. To say it was a dream holiday would be an understatement. The cabin is magnificently positioned amongst volcanic outcrops and ponderosa pines, with a beautiful view of the river and neighboring slopes. A long track takes you down to the emerald Dearborn River and one of the best swimming holes I have had the pleasure of dipping into, as big as an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The cabin is well equipped with most mod cons, and a deck wraps around the side and front to allow you to enjoy the view while sipping coffee in the morning or a beer in the evening. I slept on this deck each night, admiring the star-studded sky and being greeted each morning by a family of curious deer. We also saw a family of turkeys crossing the field each morning, as well as hummingbirds, eagles, ospreys, and scampering chipmunks. an idyllic setting. The road to the cabin is rugged, with potholes and ruts, and the last 100 yards are a steep incline followed by an equally steep decline; so an all-wheel vehicle is needed. But once you familiarize yourself with the road in, you find that the cabin is only 30 minutes from the Interstate, so it is well positioned for sight-seeing. We spent time in Great Falls and Fort Benton; we hiked the upper Dearborn (Devil's Glen), and attended a rodeo in Cascade (the mutton bustin' was hilarious!). I would highly recommend this cabin for any family or group that love the outdoors and are looking for a quiet respite. Chris Stevens, Dublin, Ireland

Mountain Paradise

This was the best vacation I have had in years. It was so hard to leave. If you like beautiful views, nature and peacefulness then this is the place for you. The front porch with a shady breeze and once in a lifetime views was the absolute best. We hardly spent any time in the cabin except to sleep. You definitely need 4WD to access the cabin but it is worth the intimidating driveway once you get there. We spent every minute we could fishing for rainbows, hunting for super cool rocks, hiking, kayaking, exploring or just relaxing and reading. There is no cellphone or internet but that was just fine. So peaceful. Hardly saw a soul go down the river and had the entire area and river to ourselves with plenty of spots to fish or swim. Ruth was a gem to deal with on reservations and details. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed with plenty of room for everyone. It is truly a paradise I cannot wait to enjoy again on another vacation. I even taught myself how to flyfish on this trip and caught a beauty of a rainbow trout on my fly rod. What a rush! I'm hooked for life on the property and fly-fishing! Desiree Monson Hatton, ND

So great to be back after a long hiatus!

This is such a special place. I believe this is my 5th stay at the cabin, however, I hadn't been back in 5 years. I have been dreaming about coming back during the pandemic years and it was like coming home to be back. Ruth and John are amazing special people. I'm so grateful for their love and dedication to the land and preservation of nature and wildlife in their slice of Montana. They have tirelessly advocated to help protect land and their neighbours. I can't wait to come back (and it won't be 5 years!!) thank you so much! (I left another entry in the guest book for you :) )

Peaceful

Mornings by the wood burning fireplace. Days spent at the river swimming, fishing, playing with dogs, relaxing, animal watching and eating lunch by the river. Evenings spent BBQing, relaxing on the deck listening to books on tape while star/satellite/shooting stat gazing and than sleeping on the deck with my best buddy Cody Rottweiler !! Does it get any better than that, nope not in my world. The swimming/fishing hole in front of the house is so clear you can see down to bottom in places probably 30 ft deep. I might bring my scuba gear next time. This place is as advertised ! No surprises. Ruth you have a gem !!

Beautiful Respite

We loved the log cabin, its decorating and appointments. Everything we needed was there. Loved the view from the deck, where we spent much time just looking at the view of the field, leading to the river, and then the mountains on the other side. Who needs art when you have that view? Loved being off the grid. Loved hiking the hills and floating in the river. From the deck we saw deer with fawns nearly every evening, eagles, a coyote (we think) on the other side of the river. Saw a beaver in the still part of the river. Great place.

Most heavenly place on earth

We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing few days. This place is so special and we have never been anywhere like it before. Our kids played in the river all day, we caught crayfish, and watched the wildlife come into the meadow every evening while having sundowners. The photos do not do the cabin justice-it is so comfortable and well thought out. We can’t wait to come back!! Thanks Ruth for letting us come and experience your little slice of heaven!

Two Fes

I went to two feathers with my son. We had a wonderful stay at the cabin . Enterprise leasing gave away our 4 wheel pick up upon our late arrival, which presented a problem. The road over the ridge can be a hurdlle without the proper car clearance but we simply hiked in and out every day. The care takers Laura and Bob were awesome … helping to get our gear into the cabin. The cabin was clean and easy to live albeit remote. This is what we wanted

About the host

Hosted by Ruth, John and Nick Sechena

John and Ruth Sechena live in Seattle, WA. John was born in Great Falls, MT and his heart is still there. We come home to Montana for 2 or 4 weeks a year; it keeps us sane.

Why they chose this property

We know the Dearborn.

Born & raised in Montana, John and his 2 brothers have floated and fished the Dearborn since the early 70's. One brother bought 33 acres and Grandma brought 28 acres (for the grandkids) just one river bend up from our log cabin & made it possible for all of our kids to swim, fish, hike and bike there. Now, as young adults, their fond memories keep drawing them back.

What makes this property unique

You don't have to leave the property to have a great time. Get up, catch breakfast, take a swim in some really beautiful swimming holes.

Hike or bike the property. Put your boat/floation device in right from the property and float to the Missouri River or put in at Hwy 287 (up river) and enjoy an incredibly scenic all day float..

BBQ dinner on the spacious deck with friends & family; watch local wildlife cross the meadow in front of you on their way to the river; hear all of natures sounds because it's quiet.
