Frequently Asked Questions
Is the hot tub currently open? Yes, it is! We clean and chlorinate it daily.
Does each cabin have its own hot tub? No, we have one hot tub rated at a 7 person capacity but 4 is most comfortable. The hot tub is situated centrally away from the cabins and is sunk into the ground and landscaped for a private feel.
Can I get to the cabins in the winter/Do I need 4WD? The city gets everything plowed very quickly. The roads to us are mostly paved and bare off quickly. The mile of gravel to us usually also gets plowed fairly quickly. If you are not used to driving in snow, we do recommend renting a vehicle with AWD. 4WD is not necessary to get around. However, if you are not used to driving in snowy weather, AWD will make it much easier on you, but 2WD will also get you around just fine.
Does the kitchen have everything I need to cook? Yes, the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils, pots/pans, cooking oils, and various grilling spices, etc as well as a drip coffee maker and french press (3 days of ground coffee provided). Everything you need to prepare a meal! There are also two gas grills on site for guest use.
What kind of coffee maker do you have? Each cabin has a drip coffee maker and a french press. We do not have a bean grinder. We provider several days worth of coffee.

Booking:What is the difference between booking direct and booking through a booking platform?
Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO typically charge around 15% in fees for you to book through them. If you book directly, there are no fees other than the 8% MT Lodging tax and the exit cleaning fee which you are paying no matter where you book. We will authorize a hold of $75 on your card the day before your arrival as a Security (Damage) Deposit, which will be released after you check out.
Booking direct usually ends up saving at least $75-$150.
Note: The Airbnb service fee is also usually non-refundable no matter when you cancel and VRBO only refunds theirs if the host fully refunds the reservation.How does the payment process work? After clicking confirm booking, you will be sent an email via ChargeAutomation with a link to complete your payment. Your booking is not confirmed until you have completed your payment via this step.
The system will charge 50% of your total at time of booking, provided your arrival date is more than 30 days away. The remaining amount will be charged automatically 30 days before arrival. A $75 damage deposit will be authorized, not charged, to your card the day before arrival and released 3 days after check-out.Do you offer a discount for booking multiple cabins? No, we do not.
Do you offer any discounts? We offer a 10% discount for active first responders and military with proof of ID. Last minute stays (less than 7 days before check in) are typically reduced in price by 10-20%. If you are booking last minute feel free to call us to check that the price online includes a discount.
