The Shed: A Climate-Controlled Garden Retreat
The Soul of the Cabin
Wake up to garden views, mountain peaks in the distance, and the quiet rhythm of life at The Hohnstead.
The Shed was created for guests who want to experience the peace of our forest retreat while enjoying a few extra comforts along the way. Nestled near the garden and surrounded by mountain and forest views, it offers a calm, climate-controlled space to return to after a day of hiking, exploring Missoula, or simply doing nothing at all.
Originally a humble cellar, this space has evolved over the years into a cozy cabin that blends rustic charm with modern convenience. It's a place for slow mornings with coffee, afternoons spent reading in the shade, and evenings watching the stars emerge above the mountains.
For many guests, The Shed offers the perfect balance between unplugging and staying comfortable.

What our guests say
The best stay ever! I love everything about this place! Staying at the Shed for the second time is well worth it if you’re going into Missoula and or Seeley Lake during the day time and need a peaceful place to rest after doing a river float or camping in the woods.

This was our first time at The Hohnstead but we will be back! The Shed was adorable and the property is beautiful and serene. 10/10

Creative, outdoorsy utopia; gorgeous area, recessed away like my own secret town and totally enveloped under stars! Anyone who appreciates wildlife and the true value of raw nature will love this well-kept, off-the-grid escape.
