Our property is close to town but far enough out that you feel secluded. We have wonderful dark nights with amazing views of stars. There is a fishing access a mile down the road, or you can hike to the river which is approximately 1000 feet to the river. The river isn't a real deep river, a lot of people use it to float on tubes, but it has been known to have some nice fish also. The area always gets afternoon wind gusts that happen daily and don't last long but something you'll want to be aware of.
On site we have available for rent 2 tiny houses and 4 Rv hook up spots. Our property also has a yurt, an additional tiny house, a skoolie and a motorhome.
If you’re wanting to just get away to a beautiful spot, take a hike along the river, float the river or fish this is your place. It’s beautiful and quiet.

Staying at the A-frame was the best part of our 2 week honeymoon (so far). It is incredibly quiet and peaceful. You can hike up some of the surrounding hills/mountains and get a great view of the Missouri River. The A-frame itself was amazing and very cozy. The hosts made sure to have some necessities available for use. The outhouse and shower were awesome and very clean. Would recommend this spot to anyone, and we would love to come back ourselves.

This place was awesome! Super clean cabin w wood burning stove, and propane two burner stovetops and grill which will allow you to cook anything you need. They have the cooking equipment too.
Very secluded and directly next to the creek. I went with my daughter and we had a fantastic time. Wished we’d have stayed for another night. It would accommodate a larger group easily, especially if you’d rent both log cabins.
This is a great spot to do a layover day or two while visiting Yellowstone. We used it as a Basecamp for full days spent inside the park, but it would have been fun to just chill at the property too.
They provide cots with nice fresh sleeping bags for sleeping. Very comfortable ~ glamping at its finest. We did bring a solar shower and heated up water to clean up. That is the one thing to keep in mind~ it was no problem for us.
All in all, it was the most fun and unique stay of our trip through Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier National Parks.

This experience was amazing and Geof was a top-notch host! If you want views and lots of animals with a comfortable camping this site is it! The camping setup was the perfect level of rustic with comfort. The shower was so nice to have and the A-frame was super comfortable, plus it added a layer of safety from bears....yes bears. We stayed there 2 nights and saw black bears both days, such a cool experience! (spoilers) Cows, goats, donkeys, dogs, and pigs were all so friendly. And the views were breathtaking, with the cows it felt like we were in the swiss alps. Learning about the reservation culture and history from Geof was such a neat surprise. It is always fun to learn about culture of the area we were visiting and Geof definitely provided that. I can't say enough good things about this campsite, highly recommend. Thanks Geof!

This was our sixth visit to the American Prairie, in what has become a spring tradition. We fretted about the roads until the last minute, but pulled the trigger when Anna from AP texted to say the road to the Lewis & Clark Hut was passable. Yep, from Winifred in, it was a little rutty, squirrely and slippery … but SO worth the effort.
The previous tenants could have left it a little cleaner (sweep and mop, people!), but the “hut” was in good shape. We had a few rain showers, but mostly great weather — stunning sunsets, and sunrises with an amazing dawn chorus of birds. In three days, we tallied 37 species of birds, mule deer, beaver, coyotes, elk and the perfect bunch of horses to complete the western scene.
Yes, you can see the Judith Landing bridge from the Lewis & Clark Hut, and a couple of ranch yard lights at night, but at the Meyers Family Huts, you genuinely feel away from the crazy world. It’s as far back in time as you can travel in a Chevy Silverado.

Five stars doesn’t even feel like enough for this place. The cabin in Paradise Valley was everything I could’ve hoped for and more. The host was incredibly responsive from start to finish, and every detail was thoughtfully communicated, which made the whole experience seamless.
What really made it special, though, was the setting. The “music” of nature out there is something else—quiet, grounding, and unforgettable. And the night sky… absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen stars like that before.
This was one of those stays that sticks with you. I’ll definitely be back.
