Cabin Beneath the Big Sky

This comfy cabin, built in the 1930's in the Beaverhead National Forest for family recreation was forced to move in 2010 to the Ruby Valley. Grandson and great grandson moved the cabin rather than burn it down. It retains its rustic exterior with logs milled in the valley in those early years. Inside, however, the cabin is fully modern, well insulated, nicely decorated and perfect for making more family memories.
Tucked into a 3 acre ranch homesite, the cabin is just one mile from Ruby Island (a Ruby River fishing access) in the heart of some of Montana’s best fishing. It also offers an easy drive to the Madison, Jefferson, Beaverhead and Big Hole Rivers. Apart from fishing, the area offers bird and big game hunting, birding, hiking, skiing, horseback riding and gem hunting.
The cabin has a King sized bed in the great room and a trundle bed in the bedroom so it's perfect for a couple and two children or a couple and one other adult. The bathroom has an excellent shower, and the kitchenette offers a cooktop, toaster oven, microwave, coffee pot, and a double sink. The large deck is furnished with patio furniture and a gas grill. Trees to the North create privacy on the deck yet great mountain views abound in every direction.
The cabin sits at an angle that insures privacy on the shared homesite. The owners live to the east past the horse corral, garden, and copse of trees. Another home is to the west with landscaping demarking property lines.
A Weimaraner and a Turkish Boz (an extremely large dog) live on and protect the property. They are friendly and enjoy having company,
Irrigation, haying, cattle drives and other ranch work occur within the view shed as the cabin is part of a ranching operation.
