Montana
Cabin Rentals

• Where are your cabins?  Montana Cabin Rentals currently offers rental cabins in the Big Timber Canyon.  The Big Timber Canyon is approximately 25 minutes from Big Timber, Montana. It is a beautiful and remote mountain canyon approximately 12 miles off US 191.

• How do I get there and will I receive directions?  For a general area map and directions, please refer to our LOCATIONS page. Also, prior to your arrival, you will receive a welcome email with detailed directions, property address, and checkin instructions.

• How do I get a key?  All of our rentals are keyless entry code locks. All you'll need to gain entrance to your vacation cabin is the key code.  You will receive your own personalized key code via email a few days before you arrive.

• How many cabins do you have? Montana Cabin Rentals offers four fantastic and unique short term rental cabins.  We will offer discounts for booking multiple cabins for larger groups.

• Can I fish at the cabin at any time of the year?  The State of Montana has a designated fishing season for Big Timber Creek which varies by year and by season.  For the most up to date information, we suggest calling the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks at (406) 932-5012.  You can also visit their website here:  FWP WEBSITE. 

• Is fishing catch and release only?  In order to maintain our fabulous mountain trout stream, we require all fishing on the property to be catch and release only, and we require all hooks to be barbless.  This will ensure the fish are always plentiful and healthy.  NOTE: to make your hooks barbless, just clamp down the barb with a pair of plyers or clamps. You may catch and keep fish above our property on the portion of Big Timber Creek which flows through Forest Service Land, and you may also catch and keep trout from the mountain lakes in the mountains upstream.  Visit our FISHING page for more information.

• What is the best time of year to fish?  This really depends on how much snow pack is in the mountains, because the spring will sometimes bring high waters which are difficult to fish.  Generally June through October is the best fishing season.

• Where can I pick up a fishing license?  You can pick up a fishing license from any sporting goods store in the state. Locally, it's easy to pick up a fishing license in Big Timber at The Fort on Big Timber Loop Road.

• Are there other streams nearby to fish? YES!  There are many other fishing options in addition to Big Timber Creek which make Montana Cabin Rentals the ideal fishing vacation location.  Other nearby options which are easy driving/hiking distance from our cabins include the Yellowstone River, Boulder River, Mountain Lakes, and more.  Visit our FISHING page for more information.

• Is hunting allowed on the property? Hunting is not allowed on Montana Cabin Rentals acreage.  However, the acreage sits adjacent to large ranch which allows fee access to hunter guests of Montana Cabin Rentals.

• Are fires allowed on the property?  Campfires are allowed only in the designated campfire pit outside each cabin and only during low fire risk.  We also require campfires be supervised the entire time and completely extinguished and drowned with water after each use.  Do not light a campfire when it is windy because the risk of sparks causing a forest fire is too great.  Depending on the summer, there may also be a burn restriction in our area.  To find out if there is, we require all our guests to contact the Sweet Grass County Sheriff's Office before lighting a campfire: (406) 932-5140.  Campfires are a lot of fun, but can be dangerous.  NEVER leave a fire unattended and never leave children near a campfire.

• Is there cell phone reception?  Our cabins are all outfitted with a cell phone repeater tower which gives decent 3G cell phone reception inside each cabin.  Outside the cabins, cell phone reception is limited.  The cell service is from a Verizon Tower.  So if your cell phone carrier does not use Verizon towers, you may not have cell phone coverage for your device. Remember to enable wifi calling on your cellular device.
