About this property

Leave your stress behind and enjoy time spent with your family and/or friends in this 5 bedroom, spacious cabin. Easily accessible by all vehicles, this incredibly quiet and relaxing mountain escape is surrounded by Mother Nature’s brilliance, with regular visits from our “neighbors” such as elk, deer, moose, and a multitude of birds and chipmunks. This recently constructed 5-bedroom, 2-bath cabin sits on 20 acres surrounded by public Forest Service lands, with direct access to numerous activities. The cabin was built around the property’s original mining cabin, which now serves as one of the 5 themed guest rooms.

While the cabin is remote in nature, it is connected to the world with Starlink’s high-speed unlimited internet access (added Dec. 2021), allowing you to stream movies, make calls on your phone with WiFi calling, make video calls, check emails/texts, or even work remotely.

Activities are endless; horseshoes, bocce ball, folfing, lasso golf, swimming in the pond, fishing on the property, mountain biking, relax on any one of the 4 decks, soak in the 7 person hot tub, or even take a nap in one of the hammocks placed throughout the property. Enjoy the beauty that the surrounding Selway-Bitterroot Forest has to offer with day hikes to mountain lakes or fishing on the West Fork River. Visit one of a number of fire lookouts in the area for spectacular, endless views, or take day trips to visit places like Big Hole National Battlefield, Bannack Ghost Town, Historic Virginia City, or Lost Trail Ski Area. End your day by sitting next to a campfire, making smores, sharing stories of the day, and gazing up at the magnificent starry sky. Do any or all of these, or simply choose to do nothing at all.

The Town of Darby, which is located 40 minutes away, is where you will find the closest grocery store, restaurants, and other great stores to explore. The nearest airport is the Missoula International Airport located in Missoula just under 2 hours away.

Relaxing and comfortable getaway

Our family had a great stay. It was a very hot week, so we enjoyed the creek and pond by day, and the hot tub by night! Everything we needed to prepare meals was available to us. Our hosts were very sweet and helpful and made us feel very welcomed. They were there if we needed anything, and even though close by, it offered privacy and a great place to gather!

Perfect Cabin for Family

The owners are wonderful people and have thought of everything you could possibly need. The pond was fun and we all enjoyed it very much on these warm days with plenty of toys for the grandkids. The cabin is spacious, clean and well stocked. Hopefully, we can make it back next year.

Delightfully remote and relaxing

We had a wonderful week in the woods courtesy of this spacious cabin. The just-a-step-away forest access was perfect for our crew and the cabin was so well stocked with everything from baking supplies to blankets! Our only (minor) issue was some reactivity to the scented detergents/cleaning products, which had one of the group member's asthma acting up. From babies to adults to dogs, everyone still had a blast running around and exploring the area.

Perfect house for 3 generation family

We have stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the last 15 years and this was either the family favorite or the second favorite of all the houses we have stayed in. The house is nicely designed to allow family time and alone time. It was rainy and cold for much of our stay so we didn't take advantage of the pond and some of the games but we still had a very good time. We very well might come back in 2 or 3 years. We are hikers and there were trails for every level from the casual walker to the hard core mountaineer.

So cool!------<*))))><

Dawn and Jerry helped us get all of our gear out of the truck in the 5 minute period where the skies opened up and poured rain and hail! Haha, it actually was pretty funny. Loved the house and location. Super wooded and lots of eager Cutthroat trout in the stream on property. The property is amazing. Thanks again for the great time. Todd Hooker-

Incredible!!

We had a wonderful stay at this delightful property. It is a hidden gem, tucked away in Montana. We loved the hot tub, the pond, walking trails, wildlife, and nearby Painted Rock State park for paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing. We saw elk, deer, chipmunks, buffalo, etc. The kitchen is so well stocked. We kept thinking there must be something they would be missing, but each time, we found what we needed. It was amazing. So green and beautiful. The beds were comfy along with the couches. So nice to have the wi-fi, lots of dining space, a lovely kitchen, etc. Hope to be back soon.

Wonderful cabin for family

We loved everything about the cabin, we especially enjoyed the hot tub and the little stream running in front of the cabin. Also getting to see elk and deer out the dining room window was great! Jerry and Dawn are the sweetest, thank you all for sharing your home. All if the kids picked their favorite themed bedroom to sleep in. ❤️

Great property to forget about the outside world

A few friends and their kids getting away from the world and forgetting about the internet for a couple days. Amazing property that's is well thought out and run by some really amazing people. Highly recommend the stay, we thought it was the best stay for the money in western Montana. Easy access with a paved road all the way their except the driveway, but far away from all traffic and noise(it's amazingly quiet).

About the host

Hosted by Jerry & Dawn Schreiber

Jerry & Dawn Schreiber are the owners of the property. They built their original log cabin on the property to be a family vacation spot as their four kids were growing up. They have since retired and now spend the majority of their time at this place. With their kids now grown with families of their own, the original place would get crowded whenever the whole family could get together. So, they decided it was time to expand and build a new cabin on the property that could accommodate everyone. They also realized that they had an incredible location for other families, like their own, to gather and make memories that would last a lifetime. It is because of this that they decided to share this new property with others, through VRBO, looking to create the same type special family memories that they have enjoyed for decades.

Why they chose this property

This property was originally purchased in 1965 by Jerry Schreiber's parents, who had visited the area for years prior to their purchase. The property has been host to numerous family reunions since then and is now being enjoyed by the fourth generation of the family.
