Quaint cabin on private 230 acre ranch. Snowmobiler and Cross/back country skier can directly access Forest Service Land from our ranch. Built by original Norwegian homesteader. Sleeps 6 comfortably with 2 queens and trundle twins. Recently renovated bathroom and new gas stove update the look of this first non-log cabin built in the upper swan valley. Cabin layout may require some concessions to frontier lifestyle as first residents built cabin with pragmatism in mind. See pictures for more clarity. Part of 3 cabin set on Meadowland Ranch: The Lazy Bean, The Homestead Cabin and The Hunters Cabin all listed in the VRBO

Andy is an excellent host. The cabin was clean and warm when we arrived late in the night. The cabin is fun and the surrounding area rich in outdoor activities. A really great stay!
Andy was a pleasure to deal with. The location was beautiful and cabin itself quaint, cozy and comfortable on a very well-cared-for land. A truly memorable experience - thank you Andy!
Perfectly placed for the hiking trailheads, an hour from the shops for the day. Andy was the best host we could have got

Cabin had everything we needed, was very clean, internet worked great, and owner was very friendly and accommodating.
Great little cabin with some history in the Swan Valley. The cabin was clean, and our host, Andy, was fantastic and fun to chat with. The view off the front
porch is very scenic, and we often saw wildlife (deer, wild turkeys, sandhill cranes) in the area. We will definitely return in the future.
I stayed 2 nights by myself, son Brian his wife & 4 daughters were able to stay just 1 night
The cabin was wonderful. We were able to bbq shish ka bobs & roast marshmallows in the kettle bbq.
First off, this area is absolutely gorgeous + Andy was able to guide us on where to go in the Swan Valley. My group even stayed home one day just to experience the views that the cabin and property has to offer.
Andy was incredibly helpful and responsive and helped with anything we needed. Firewood was left out for us and kitchen was well stocked.
Only downside was the bugs but no one can control that!
Everything was more than great. The view, the area, that’s why I keep coming back. The host Andy makes you feel welcome and treats you like family. I’m always sad to leave.
We had the most peaceful and relaxing stay at the homestead cabin. The views were unreal and the cabin was so cozy. Exactly what we were looking for! Andy was a great host!
Took a long weekend away from bustling Kalispell. The cabin was exactly as pictured and the setting prettier than a picture. The gas woodstove was much appreciated and easy to use. The cabin seems well insulated and held the right temps morning and night. Great central location to explore the Swan Valley. Condon Community Church is just a few minutes away and is very friendly and welcoming. Andy and his wife are very sweet, genuine and thoughtful - as is his darling momma. We were very blessed to see the Northern Lights for two nights of our stay. A very memorable birthday and Mother’s Day!
Cozy little cabin with a surprising amount of space and a glorious view across a meadow towards snow-capped mountains. Didn't see or need the property manager, but they were just a phone call away. Loved it.
Best birthday yet. The location, fascinating history, PERFECT picturesque coffee sippin mountain gazin front porch, fireplace, comfortable beds, trails at the door and privacy…made it really challenging to leave. And best of all - the genuine kindness of the hosts and their intentional nostalgic decor and little comforts placed throughout make you feel immediately welcomed as if you’re family. There’s an old favorite book floating around for everyone topped with all of the favorite classic board games.
If you’re looking for a reset, a getaway from technology and a reminder to replace screens with moments of being present with those you love, then this place is for you.
I’m already planning our next stay and I’m just so grateful to have found this gem. Thank you for sharing it all, Andy and fam. 100/100.
We enjoyed our stay at the Homestead. It is possibly the only place I have stayed that had enough pillows. Location is perfection and we hope to return in the warmer months to explore the area.
Cute cabin in a great location. It is very cozy and having the propane fireplace makes for a nice rustic ambiance. We are mid 60’s to early seventies so the steep stairs to the loft sleeping area posed a slight challenge but we made do. We’ve stayed at other properties at this location and Andy is always gracious, accommodating, and communicative.
