We live on 10 acres of mixed forest and field. In the summer we have an active blacksmithing school and flower farm here. The idea of a sustainable, self reliant lifestyle has always been part of our life and passing it down to others is a joy for us. We sustainably manage our food and forest to be the best stewards we can for our environment and our neighbors. Our Cabin and structures were built primarily of materials that were recycled or milled on site. which makes them warm and inviting. The Cabin is located close to our shop which houses an active blacksmithing school in the summer months where the rest of the structures are separate and in an area tucked away on the edge of the woods.Jeffrey and Betsy work to make your stay as welcoming as possible. We maintain a small orchard of fruit trees, a garden which feeds us year round and a small flower farm on the property. Avid skiers, bikers, paddlers and hikers, offering the property for others to enjoy was a conscious decision made when planning all of our infrastructure.

Jim Creek Cozy Cabin & RV w/ Hookup
27mi from Flathead National Forest · 1 site
Forest Service Boundary property. Campsite with 2 Units totaling 2 queens, 1 full, 2 doubles. Adjacent the Mission Mountains, Peck Lake Road is a rare foothills through route with access to hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, and exploring! Along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route GDMBR (bikepacking route) on Peck Lake Road, in the Swan Valley, Montana, a short walk to Jim Creek for a crisp plunge.
This hard sided campsite hosts a Remodeled Dry cabin with Power and Queen-Double bunk bed, dining table with chairs and a covered porch. The Second Living Unit is a well kept 2018, Jayco travel trailer with slide-out that sleeps 4 comfortably (up to 6), and has full utilities (water/power/sewer) and includes A/C, 3 burner range, microwave, bathroom with standup shower (5 gallon RV water heater), outdoor shower, private master with RV Queen mattress.

If additional, covered storage is needed for 1 or 2 bikes, please contact the host for access to the small storage shed. Bring your bear spray. Store all food and trash inside the hard sided cabin or RV in the provided containers.

We stayed in both cabins and they were excellent! Felt like true lake cabins, no frills and fanciness. Also the lakefront access was amazing! Dock and beach access for the day and a beautiful fire pit at night. Would highly recommend!

We stayed two nights in one of the cabins. This is a great place to stay when visiting Glacier National Park. The cabin is small, but not overly so. The air conditioning is a fantastic addition. The mini fridge works well and makes the experience much better. There isn’t any seating, other than the beds, so bring chairs. And that’s not a criticism, the cabin is exactly what is needed and nothing more. We enjoyed the amenities in the office area (lounge, showers, microwave, and coffee maker). I highly recommend North American Park for anyone visiting the park.

Highly recommend this cabin!! The hosts were incredibly friendly and always available. The cabin checked all our boxes, spotlessly clean and felt homey. The location was peaceful and beautiful, set in the countryside yet conveniently close to must-see attractions and nearby cities. A solid 10/10!!

Shilo was great and the room and the property were fantastic. We stayed in the Mrs Judy cabin and it was clean, charming and comfortable. The bathrooms and showers were in a nearby building and were very clean and looked like newer builds. There are lovely landscaping details throughout the property, and a couple friendly dogs that came by to say hello. Our stay here was an oasis in between days of minimal Glacier National park camping. Highly recommended.

One of the best spots near Glacier if you're looking to lose the crowds. This place has a particularly nice look in early spring, as snow still covers the ground but the greens in the trees start to show. I'm sure I will be returning whenever I'm near Glacier next.

This is one of our top 5 campgrounds. There is also plenty of dispersed camping in the area for free. Our private, wooded site had an amazing view over the turquoise waters of the bay and the surrounding forested islands. We haven’t seen a body of water this beautiful since our 2014 road trip that included Banff and Jasper National Parks in Alberta, Canada.

Rather than staying at the campgrounds before you get to Holland Lake, go all the way down to the trailhead, backpack in less than a mile and on the right (you may have to get your feet wet a bit but it’s worth the view and experience, you’ll see a little island on the right. Go down the steep trail leading down to the water cross some of the water and jump onto the island to set up camp. My husband and I did this in June. He fished while I read books in my eno. Got up super early the next morning to hike up to the Falls. Great place to camp!

Watch for deers the when going down the 8 miles from the highway, because they are numerous and will randomly jump out. Summertimes are busy so try to get there early afternoon on Fridays and you should be good throughout the week. This is a free campground!

I've lived in Montana for 6 years, and this place holds a special spot in my heart. It's one of those places on the list to bring people out when they visit. I almost don't want to tell you guys how awesome this place is! The mountain views are 5/5, the water is crystal clear, and somehow, some way, we had a whole section of beach completely to ourselves ON THE 4TH OF JULY! What?! Pretty epic, this place. There are lots of trails to hike, my favorite being up to Holland Falls. The view of the Mission Mountains is hard to beat! I've also had a couple bear encounters here, so bring bear spray and keep your food stuff locked up! I recommend bringing paddle boards, kayaks, or even a tube so you can float out in the water and admire the views.

Hike to the falls! If you're eager for more, carefully scramble to the upper falls into a lush, moss-covered oasis.

Red Meadow Lake Campground was a pleasant surprise we stumbled upon while exploring some backcountry roads. There are a few sites along the lakeshore and a few further back. We chose a site further back in the trees for privacy. You would think with the lake being somewhat off the grid that you'd have the place to yourself, but we met a few bikers, hunters and fishermen who made their camp there as well. It is a beautiful spot to chill out and could thoroughly be enjoyed with a canoe or raft as the water is crystal clear!
