Hand-Built Glamping Cabins on 100 Acres near Missoula

Choose Your Sanctuary

Five hand-built escapes on 100 acres of Montana quiet. Each cabin is designed to drop you into the deep stillness of the forest.

 

Unique forest-facing cabin with windows on three sides and queen bed tucked into 100 private acres in Montana.

The Ranch Hand | A Hand-Built Forest Refuge

Tucked into the pines with forest views on three sides. We built this cabin to feel less like a hotel and more like a private sanctuary where the woods are the only neighbors.

  • The Bed: A Queen bed for deep, quiet rest after a day on the trails.

  • The Basics: Power for your essentials, a simple coffee and tea station, and a small library for slow mornings.

  • Outside your door: A short walk from the 2-seater hot tub and the shared Commons Area (full kitchen, Wi-Fi, and solar showers).

One-night minimum stays: April, May, October & November
Two-night minimum: June–September
