Named Chuck’s Place after our dad, this cabin is owned by my brother, sister and I. We are fourth generation Montanans and and spent our childhoods in the Swan Valley, hiking and boating at Salmon, Seeley, Flathead and Holland Lake, picking huckleberries, fishing and hiking in the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
We are now scattered from Bozeman/Big Sky to Missoula, Montana and Washington, D.C., but this area of Montana has our heart. The views from the cabin are breathtaking and there are beautiful hikes and trails to be found just minutes away.
This property, ideally situated between two majestic mountain ranges and just a short drive to Holland Lake was love at first sight for us. We had looked for awhile and knew immediately when we saw this cabin that it was the one for us. We have young boys who love exploring the woods and marshland around the property, watching the deer and elk come through and sitting around the campfire at night.

Swan Valley Log Cabin
Beautiful view on the back porch!
This is a nice cabin in a wooded area, while there are neighbors close by It still felt secluded. And after 5pm or so it remains fairly quiet.
Overall a lovely place will probably try and book again next year!
Cabin guide book and host both extremely helpful.
