The home itself is a gorgeous custom log home crafted from large native pines. The cabin is fully furnished with close attention paid to every detail. Jaw-dropping views from every window- giving truly memorable and unique Montana experiences with every moment. The floor plan is ideal for 2 large families or larger groups and comfortably sleeps 15 people!

The master loft contains a king bed, a twin bed, a full private bath and a cozy secondary loft ("The Tree House") with a queen memory foam mattress accessible by ladder (Kids love it!). The secondary loft on the other wing contains a queen bed, 4 twin beds and a full bath. The cabin offers the spectacular "River Room" with a queen bed surrounded by windows on 3 sides overlooking the Yellowstone River. Additionally, there is a bunk room with 2 twin beds right off of the great room. The open plan kitchen and dining area have wood floors throughout, creating the perfect atmosphere for entertaining and gathering in a very nice, but relaxed way.

Newly installed deck with railings, solar lights and a propane firepit ensure you will be just as happy outside enjoying the views as anywhere! Ample seating and lounge chairs for the whole group! Just beyond the deck area are horseshoe pit and private path to the river and private boat dock. A meandering path connects the deck to the banks of your own 1/4 mile private stretch of the Yellowstone River for endless hours of blue ribbon fishing, floating and playing!
Garbage service is not available at this location, there are several places nearby to dispose of your bagged garbage, a map will be provided.
A 4wd vehicle is recommended for accessing all the area has to offer - to get to trailheads, boat ramps and general "off the beaten path" roads.

AMAZING!
There truly aren’t words to describe our stay at this stunning home. The views were incredible, the host was fantastic, and the house was immaculate. When booking trips like this, you always wonder if reality will measure up to the pictures and reviews... in this case, everything was even better than we expected. I think it goes without saying, but I highly recommend a stay here. My husband and I are eager to return and can’t wait to recommend this home to friends and family.- Anonymous from Summerdale, Posted: 9/11/2024We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Please come back and visit us again anytime.- Key Montana staff, Posted:

Was a wonderful stay! The views were beautiful!- Anonymous , Posted: 12/17/2023
I rent Airbnb˜s often that sleep a lot of people !!!! so the main things I look for is if they have enough toilet paper, they have enough towels and enough garbage bags . This place had plenty of everything and more !!! the toiletries were fully stocked plenty of dishes and silverware.. clean and comfortable!! Deena was so quick to respond to any questions I had. This cabin was enough room and more.!!! Thanks for having us!!- Anonymous , Posted: 10/30/2023

The cabin was a lovely retreat for our fly fishing/yellowstone hiking family adventure. We had plenty of room and it was well appointed with things we didn't anticipate (extra paper plates, dishwashing supplies, etc.). Our fishing boats stopped at the house one day for lunch and we had a picnic outside. It was cozy, comfortable and just lovely. Thank you so much.- Anonymous , Posted: 10/14/2023
Amazing Property, we had a great time, great for groups- Anonymous , Posted: 10/2/2023
The hosts were incredibly accommodating, responsive and thoughtful. One of my best Airbnb experiences to date and on an unforgettable property. Private, secluded Yellowstone river waterfront made for great fishing with my group.- Anonymous , Posted: 8/21/2023
We brought our entire family for a trip to Yellowstone and all were blown away by the cabin and location on the Yellowstone River. The grandkids loved the sleeping arrangements , we all had fun with the horseshoe pits and thought it was above and beyond to have 3-20 pound propane tanks for the fire pit. Special thanks to Brooke for helping my sister find a house nearby.- Anonymous , Posted: 8/4/2023
I'm thrilled to provide a review about our stay at UC River Ranch. This spectacular cabin was perfect for our 3 generation family reunion. We'll never forget the meals we cooked together and shared at the big farmer's table, the card games and conversation around the firepit, the mornings with coffee cups standing at the railing overlooking the Yellowstone River. There is no prettier view around. The River was a perfect backdrop for family portraits that we took during the week. We found the binder of instructions and information on local hikes, stores, and retail very helpful. Deena and Brooke were almostly instantly responsive with any questions we had before and during our stay. If we could give 10 stars, we would!- Anonymous , Posted: 7/30/2023
Great cabin and amazing view. Even offered to fill fridge. The depth of cleaning at the end of the trip was a little unexpected and found out last day had to drive trash 10 minutes away. Then the trash facility wouldn't allow us inside because it was Sunday even though an employee was there. Feel like the $350 cleaning fee shouldn't require us to sweep, do all the dishes, wipe down counters, clean out fridge, and take trash 10 minutes away. Really the only thing left for the maid was to wash sheets, towels, and mop. $350 feels steep for that. We had an early flight out the last morning so doing all the cleaning was a little burdensome, especially when the airport is 1.5 hrs away and checkout is at 10am. Didn't take away from the trip though as it is a beautiful cabin in a beautiful spot and the service and communication was great except for the cleaning surprise. Still give it 5 stars despite paying a cleaning fee and also having to clean.- Anonymous , Posted: 7/9/2023
Such a great location and convenient to many outdoor activities. The views are spectacular. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen and outside patio. We'd love to return in the future.- Anonymous , Posted: 6/19/2022
