This cozy cabin sits on 20 acres and faces the breathtaking Pintler Mountain Range. In the back corner, the property connects to thousands of acres of national forest, where you’ll find scenic roads and beautiful trails to explore.
Wildlife is abundant, and at night the sky glows brilliantly under Montana’s Big Sky. From the porch, you can even see the sparkling lights of the town of Anaconda.
Built this year, the cabin is fresh and modern, with everything crisp and new. It comfortably sleeps 3–4 guests and includes a fully stocked kitchen. Inside, you’ll find a shower, while just steps from the front porch is a traditional outhouse.
Relax on the porch by the warm outdoor fireplace and take in the serene mountain views. This property is truly a paradise waiting for your visit.

We really enjoyed our time on this property. It is a true taste of off grid living. It is not an in town rental, but instead your experience will be far from town with the comforts you still enjoy. Elk will keep you company when you wake up in the morning. The bathroom has a unique experience that just has to be seen to understand that is very enjoyable. The host provides a very hospitable experience. I would highly recommend and also recommend enjoying all the back roads that are accessible from this cabin.

Scott's camp is beautiful, nicely set up, and very peaceful. Absolutely loved it! It is far enough from the freeway, but still quick and easy access, if you are just traveling through like us.

We loved the green tractor for pics! Waking up to the beautiful stream sounds was lovely. Holly is very communicative and helpful. The property is beautiful although I wasn’t sure where the property lines were so I hope I didn’t intrude on someone’s land. We missed the pigs though.

We had a late arrival, and an early morning, but after we settled in, this was such a dreamy stay! It was an adventure to get there in the dark, and we were careful on the rocky road up to the spot. Our host recommends a higher clearance, which is necessary.
The sky is so big up there! Wow! The stars!!! The tipi was very cozy, and the bed was super comfy. ... And the morning - the coyotes yipping in the distance, a screech owl, the expansive view of the mountains in every direction, sunset colours with the tipi in the foreground... it was truly a one of kind experience.
Our only regrets is not having more time relax and enjoy, or use all the amenities, like the outdoor shower (it has hot water!).
Our host was so wonderfully accommodating as we scrambled to make arrangements. Thank you for everything! And for sharing this beautiful chunk of Montana with us.
(And ps. We loved Anaconda too... such a charmer of a town!)

These folks were so kind, and finding the space was easy with their published directions. The space is well maintained, and wonderfully peaceful, especially once the traffic on the highway dies down. They even had firewood set out. Awesome.

This was an amazing camping experience. We were the only campers so had the whole grassy area to ourselves. It is right on the river and there are a few other public river access spots nearby so we checked out all of them. We biked up the mountain and around town as well — there is a school playground a block or two away that my kids (ages 4-9) liked. The spot is at the end of a small town (Melrose)—so not in the middle of nowhere, just FYI. The piggies were the best part! They’re such funny creatures and we enjoyed getting to know them. Holly is such a nice person and obviously cares about her guests and pets! Definitely recommend.

Lovely quiet spot. Easy to access. We stayed up in a site tucked into the sagebrush and loved the solitude. Even with a 28’ trailer it was pretty easy to get in and out. Would definitely look to stay there again if we swing through Butte.

What a beautiful peaceful place. We felt like we were in the middle of no where. If you are an experienced camper with a vehicle that can handle the roads of an out of the way place, this is an amazing spot. Denise was super helpful and supportive to our stay.
