Then look no further!! You'll love Jay and Jill's Log Cabin on the Clarkfork River.

Jay and Jill's cabin is the perfect way to experience Montana. This custom log home was built with care and attention to detail from the bathroom’s multi-colored slate shower and floors to the kitchen’s unique cabinets and counter tops, spa-style wet room in the 2nd bath, shiplap walls and tasteful decor. Features include on demand hot water, in-floor heat, cathedral ceilings, and 180 degree views right from the kitchen.

In the summer the yard is impeccably manicured with lush grass, wild flowers, and more—a real mountain oasis perfect for your vacation getaway! Relax as you enjoy the breathtaking views of the Clark Fork River and surrounding mountains from the comfort and privacy of the front deck. Keep your eyes open for deer, elk, eagles, osprey, bear and much more!
