cabins faq

  • The A-frame cabin is a pet-friendly, off-grid, solar-powered, dry cabin (no running water, just a 2 gallon jug of water) with two single beds that can push together, and a single translucent, lift-able side wall for stargazing. Personal chairs and hammocks are available outdoors.

    The Blind cabin is a pet-friendly, off-grid, solar-powered, dry cabin with two translucent walls (one is lift-able) for stargazing. Personal chairs and hammocks are available outdoors.

    The Shed Cabin is the “connected” pet-friendly cabin with WIFI, AC power, AC unit, mini fridge, TV and projector and is the only cabin to be connected to the Commons Area Lounge by a single wall. Personal chairs and hammocks are available outdoors.

    The Stargazer Cabin is has a unique button operated door-wall, amazing mountain views, lots of stargazing abilities, and its also pet friendly with a 2-person hammock nearby.

    The Ranch Hand Cabin is our newest, pet-friendly, AC powered cabin with a queen sized bed, a generous deck overlooking the mountains and forest, and a lovely lemon theme.

  • We have strategically placed our cabins away from each other by about 75 yards, but still close enough to the outdoor restroom/shower, commons area and parking.

  • Yes! All 5 of our cabins are pet-friendly, there is an additional cleaning fee for guests with pets (2 pets max). Pets are allowed in the Commons Area on the leash. It’s the owner’s responsibility to make sure their pet is friendly with other pets and guests (remember we have 5 total cabins and hope that everyone has a pleasant time together). Thank you!

  • No, all five of our cabins share a centrally located outdoor restroom, which requires less than a minute to walk to.

  • Yes! Living in the forest, we get to share this beautiful space with all types of critters, big and small. If you’re a sensitive type, we encourage you to book another place in town proper (though we can’t promise that they don’t have their own critters).

  • There is a refrigerator with an individual shelf for each cabin inside the Commons Area. There are also dry food storage totes there. You may keep some items inside your cabin, but if left outside the airtight container, you’re inviting unwelcome guests like ants into your cabin.

  • There is one shared 2-seater hot tub centrally located between all the cabins. Guests are encouraged to place their tag on the time they want (one hour increments), the board is located in the Commons Area. If no one signs up after you, feel free to turn into a prune.

  • Most of the cabins are solar powered and have no WIFI connectivity. The Shed Cabin is the only connected cabin, with WIFI and other amenities. Sometimes you may be able to get cell service, depending on your provider. The Commons Area is centrally located and has access to AC power and WIFI.

  • Forest fires are the biggest danger we face while living in Montana, so in order to prevent forest fires, we have a single fire pit, which is centrally placed nearby the Commons Area. It is the perfect place to see the sun set. Whenever the statewide fire ban is in place, we use a propane fire pit instead.

  • Yes, we have 2 outdoor showers, centrally located between the cabins. The showers are outdoors and solar, which means if there is sun - the water is hot. No sun - it’s cold. Our Wim Hoff enthusiasts particularly enjoy the cold morning showers, will you join them?

  • There are no guarantees in nature. It may be cloudy or smoky (from forest fires) during your stay. It makes us really appreciate those perfect, clear days and stargazing nights.

  • As much as we love your little ones, we created this space for adults to reconnect to nature and to each other.

GEAR

THE PUPS

  • We love seeing dogs experience the freedom of the woods. You are welcome to let your dog explore off-leash if you are confident in their recall and their ability to stay focused in a wilderness environment. Because we prioritize a 'Silence First' experience for all our guests, we just ask that off-leash roaming doesn't lead to disruptive barking or uninvited visits to other cabins. It’s all about finding that balance between rugged freedom and the quiet peace our community comes here to find.

  • From Great Danes (hello Baxter) to Chihuahuas, we don't believe in size limits—every well-behaved member of the pack is welcome here. To ensure each cabin remains a spacious sanctuary, we have a 2-dog maximum per cabin. There is a simple $50 flat fee per dog for the duration of your stay, which helps us keep our 100 acres and handcrafted cabins in pristine shape for the next set of paws. (Note: If you are booking a full resort buyout, these pet fees are completely waived!)

  • In our woods, 'well-behaved' simply means your dog can enjoy the Montana air without disturbing the stillness of the ridge. We welcome dogs that are comfortable in new environments and won't be stressed by the sounds of the forest or the sight of a distant neighbor. Since many guests come here specifically for the deep quiet, we ask that you help us maintain that sanctuary by managing excessive barking. It’s a place for dogs to be dogs, and for humans to finally hear themselves think.

  • Yes, we put together just the page.

TECH

  • To help you fully immerse yourself in the surroundings, our individual cabins are kept as "digital sanctuaries" without Wi-Fi. However, high-speed internet is available at The Commons Area, our shared community hub, should you need to check in or download a map for your next hike.

  • Our cabins are off the grid, which means there is only a solar panel providing DC electricity. It could be enough to charge your phone, unless its a cloudy day, then you can charge up in the Commons Area, which has AC power (normal electricity).

  • It’s safe to say no, we don’t have cell service in these mountains. But every once in a while a guest can get a signal here and there, depending on the provider.

  • You won't find any screens here—we find the "Stargazer" views and the forest canopy provide much better programming. We encourage guests to swap scrolling for a book or a board game in The Commons Area.

  • If you’d like to listen to music or a podcast, please use headphones so that the only thing your neighbors hear is the wind in the trees.

  • We highly recommend downloading the AllTrails app for local hiking and a Star Chart app to make the most of our dark Montana skies. Since we are a "pet-friendly" resort, having a digital copy of your vet records or a local pet-services map saved to your phone is also a great idea. Get started with this helpful guide.
