About this cabin rental

'Check out our Video - scroll to the right of the last picture above.'

Our custom built, 1600 sf cabin, which we affectionately refer to as 'The Fishing Shack', was completed in the fall of 2008. An additional 350 sf studio apartment was completed in 2013. The property is located on the Madison River, known for its majestic beauty and world class fly fishing. The cabin is a gorgeous, 35 minute drive to the entrance of Yellowstone National Park and about an hour to the winter hot spot, Big Sky Ski Resort. With its fabulous location, reclaimed barnwood floors, custom kitchen, 3 flat screen TVs, a Jotul wood-burning stove, and floor to ceiling windows, it is a magical vacation spot.

The primary suite has a queen bed with pillow top mattress, Smart TV, French doors opening to a 5 person Jacuzzi Tub overlooking the river, and a custom built pebble shower with dual shower heads (including a rain head). There are two bedrooms upstairs, each with log bunk beds (twin on top & queen below). Open the windows and let the smell of the mountains and the sound of the river lull you to sleep. The open loft has a cozy seating area, a third TV with DVD player, and game system for the kids (and the kids at heart). Directly on the river, you will find a large fire pit perfect for staying warm and making s'mores while watching the fishermen in your family catch that big brown just feet away.

Our cabin is located 30 minutes south of Ennis and 35 minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It is situated in a friendly residential community with about six other homes and delightful neighbors. It is across the river from a Forest Service campground and a short walk to the world famous 'Grizzly Bar & Grill' (you must sample their delightful wine selection).

Fill the long summer days with activities such as fishing from the property, floating the Madison, exploring Yellowstone National Park, hiking beautiful mountain trails, horseback riding, listening to live music while sipping local wines and soaking in the Norris Hot Springs, experiencing an authentic Montana rodeo or riding the antique railway in historic Virginia City.

We hope you enjoy our cabin as much as we do, and we look forward to sharing the beauty of Montana with you.

We stayed here while mostly visiting Yellowstone National Park. This is a lovely cabin and we would've enjoyed it immensely but there was a mice problem. In the evening on our first night (and each subsequent night) we spotted several mice running out from under the fireplace and underneath the living room sofa then into the kitchen at one point on the counter top and onto the stove top then climbing into the control panel of the stove. We tried to catch them and looked for mouse traps to set but couldn't find any. I contacted the property owner and after checking said he was unable to locate a company to take care of it. I said we would try to find traps to buy in West Yellowstone but we were not successful finding any in the town. This problem put quite a damper on our evening family game and talk time since no one wanted to sit anywhere while mice were running around. I was hoping to be offered some compensation back for all of this but it didn't happen. If you're alright with mice running through your place then you will be able to enjoy this beautiful place. We loved sitting out on the deck and listening/watching the river.

My family of adult children and their spouses stayed at the fish shack for a wonderful week in early July. The place is "as advertised" and was very comfortable for up to 4 couples, we had one couple stay in the separate guest house. The place is right on the Madison river and is a fly fisherman's dream with an enormous amount of hatches occuring most of the day which made for excellent trout fishing, albeit was a bit "buggy" for the non-fisherman. We took the beautiful ~35 minute drive thru the Montana Rockies along the Madison river and Earthquake Lake to West Yellowstone and did the park most days. Yellowstone is a unique place in the world and despite being jaded global travellers who have "seen it all" we were all blown away by the geysers, hot springs, waterfalls and abundent wildlife. Thanks to the insights provided by the host, we made reservations and ate dinner 3 nights at the Grizzley Bar & Grill which has both excellent food and service in addition to a full service bar, wine and beer and is located a short 2-3 minute walk from the Fish Shack. When were were not eating out, we cooked in the well stocked kitchen. We used the hot tub be the river each night before bed. The sun sets late in July (~10pm) make it a point to see the stars as they are fantastic. There is so much more to see and do and is a perfect place for an active family that loves the outdoors. Everyone of us really enjoyed our collective experience.

This house is beautiful with a relaxing back deck with a stunning view!! The sounds of the river and the mountain view and oh my the stars at night - I can't say enough!! Hosts were very helpful too. I gave the location a 4 because there aren't any grocery stores or lots of restaurants near by, but that being said, it was worth the drive to have this tranquil house at the end of the day! You do have to be careful on the deck though since there aren't any railings. Great kitchen and common space. Loved our stay!!! Thank you!
