This is a beautiful, new cabin with modern touches, clean/minimal lines, and spectacular mountain views through massive windows. The cabin takes its name from one of the peaks you'll see right out your window, Alturas 2 (Our 1 BR cabin is named for the next peak to the south.... Alturas 1). Alturas 2 is a 2 BR cabin with a queen bed in the back bedroom and a twin-over-full bunk bed in the 2nd bedroom. The 2nd bedroom's bottom bunk is large enough to accommodate 2 adults. (No one over 110lbs on top bunk please. NO PETS. Alturas 1 is our pet-friendly cabin).
There's also a full RV hookup just to the north of Alturas 2. Hook up your RV for a nominal fee. Rent both cabins for a discount to accommodate larger groups!
There's more than enough elbow room on this (over) 10 acre property and the neighbors and noise are plenty far away. Use it as a base camp for your travel, biking, fishing, hunting, or skiing adventure or just get your relax on. Come just to get away and use the Wi-Fi for watching movies or working remotely. MT Hwy 278 is part of the Pioneer Scenic Byway and "Big Hole Loop" with unrivaled access to hiking, hot springs, snowmobiling, Bannack State Park (ghost town), horseback riding, the RATPOD bike race, and world-class trout fishing on the Beaverhead and Big Hole Rivers (not to mention numerous small creeks and lakes to drive or hike to).
You'll be situated a very short drive from Dillon, MT; a cute western town with roots in ag, railroading, and education. There are plenty of shops, fun restaurants, coffee shops, a brewery, and local happenings to satisfy travelers year round. Dillon is also home to to 1 of 5 Patagonia Outlets in the country as well as one of the biggest Labor Day celebrations around complete with rodeos, concerts, and a fair.
You're also just a short drive from lots of fun/historic small towns with their own unique draw and appeal. There's an area information/recommendation booklet inside the cabin for reference too.
There are 3 cabins on the property situated in a similar orientation. Just south of this cabin is a 2 BR, 5 guest cabin. At the northern property boundary, is a sleek, spacious studio cabin called the Studio at Alturas. Look for our other listing or inquire via messages if a larger space is needed.

I am on site sometimes, working in the newest cabin or staying in the RV (behind the shed to the north of Alturas 2) when guiding fly fishing in the area. I often travel and am away for extended periods of time as well. If I'm around, I'm more than happy to chat in person or give space if need be.
