Lovely, artful cabin

My husband and I loved our stay at the little mossy cabin! Buford, Penelope, and Wallace were so welcoming and inviting. What a cozy place to stay! I bet it would be fantastic around Christmastime.

Loved my stay at the Little Mossy cabin! What a gem, and the hosts were so kind as well. It was well-kept, adorable, and the perfect amount of Montana rustic :) Great size for a couple or in my case, myself and my baby for the weekend!

Cozy and clean!

So cute and thoughtful! Feels like you’re out in the woods but very accessible to Bigfork if you need to be close to down. Very comfy bed and all the creature comforts you need. The outhouse was spotless. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!

The cabin is beautiful, comfy, and perfect for a few nights in the area. It has everything you need in a cozy space. Very well-equipped! Penelope was an excellent host — helpful, but also gave us plenty of space to do our own thing. Highly recommended!

Comfortable, cute, and warm on a rainy day. The only break in the morning silence was the wild turkey calls.

Glacier honeymoon.

Great cozy cabin. Just far enough away from bigfork to avoid most tourist traffic. Very peaceful and Wallace was very friendly. He'll hang out with you if you hang out on the porch. We wanted a place fairly close to Glacier and this is just withing an hour of west Glacier. Thanks Penelope and Buford for having us. We enjoyed our week at mossy cabin.
