Paradise in the Trees

When I tell you, I did not want to leave… I did not want to leave! We have stayed at several places throughout our travels and this was such an incredible place to relax and unwind. The home was immaculate, the location was so beautiful, our host was fantastic with communication and I could not have asked for a better place to have stayed for our anniversary. If I could rate it more than five stars, I would.

Absolutely Phenomenal in Phillipsburg

This gem exceeded our expectations in every way. In the heart of the breathtaking Rockies, this cabin offered the perfect modern comfort. The views were simply spectacular, with pristine mountain vistas in every direction. Sipping morning coffee on the spacious deck the scenery was a constant source of awe. Inside, the cabin was impeccably clean and well-appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed to whip up delicious meals, and the open-concept living area made for great gatherings. The bedrooms were cozy and the beds incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after days filled with adventure. Speaking of adventure, this property is a gateway to outdoor paradise. Hiking, fishing, and exploring were right at our doorstep. And the town of Phillipsburg, with its charming shops and restaurants, was just a short drive away. But what truly set this VRBO apart was the exceptional hospitality. The owners were incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. From helpful local tips to ensuring we had all the amenities we needed, they were top-notch hosts. In short, if you're looking for a mountain getaway that combines natural beauty, comfort, and hospitality, this VRBO property in Phillipsburg, MT is an absolute must. We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories to last a lifetime!

Incredible home. Located off the beaten path, you find yourself in a winter wonderland. The home is designed extremely well and no details were missed. The bed, sheets, towels, and shower products were great! The property owner was extremely helpful. We have stayed in 6+ homes in the area since we do an annual ski trip each year to Discovery, and hands down this was the nicest and cleanest one we have stayed in! We will definitely be back!
