We look forward to hosting you for your Montana adventure. Please do not hesitate to inquire and ask questions to make certain we are the right property for you. Cheers! Eric & Deborah*****

Welcome to the Claymore. This Amish built log home is a work of art all unto itself. This tastefully decorated home is ready for your romantic escape or your quiet and restful vacation to recharge your batteries. High speed internet makes it a good choice for extended stay work-cations. It is a world away from the every day but only 7 miles to town. Just steps away from the gorgeous green waters of the Kootenai River where you can catch your own supper or simply relax and watch the river float by. The cooks kitchen is ready to save you trips out for meals...this is our part time home so it is fairly well equipped for quick & easy meals, baking and even seven course dining nights. The master has a king size bed with shower en suite. The secondary bedroom has a luxurious queen. There is a reading nook with books, dvds and adult board games in the main hall, as well as the centrally located laundry closet and second bathroom with an antique tub for soaking away the effects of a day of play in this beautiful corner of Montana. The loft has two twin beds and a view of the river as well. Fast 50 down/50 up wifi powers up all your devices, log into your streaming services on any of the 3 smart tvs...or go old school with one of our many dvds. (Work-cation? Internet up to 500 down/50 up available with 3 days notice for added fee). There is a picnic table on the river bank for dining alfresco. Covered porches on the front and back of the house are perfect for morning coffee and conversation or evening wine and appetizers. Sleeping in late is one of our favorite things so both bedrooms have blackout drapes to combat the early appearance of the summer sun. This house is perfect at recharging your batteries and reconnecting with your spouse...we think there is magic in it.

The home is set up for you, our guests. You will not find closets and drawers filled with our personal belongings…just empty space for yours.

This home is on a 1.13 acre private lot. There are quiet retired neighbors on both sides but it remains quite private. The area is semi-residential in feel with quality homes but it is right at the edge of Montana’s wilderness. You will see wildlife all around during the day. Deer, bighorn sheep, turkeys, chipmunks, geese, ducks will be seen most days…right in the yard. There are multitudes of birds, eagles, hawks and bats as well. We ask that you keep doors closed so critters do not get in. There are other animals we have not seen in our yard but have found “evidence” left behind…including bear, mountain cats, wolves, moose, porcupines, raccoons, coyotes. We recommend situational awareness at all times while in Montana.

There is a Montana Heritage Trail just at the end of our road…Bighorn Trail #42. It is approx 4.5 miles long tracking right along the rivers edge. It continues as far as the Kootenai Falls so no need to drive there although the last 0.8 miles is a rather primitive talus slope and not the young or the physically challenged. We will not cross it ourselves…too scary. See photo #50 in our listing for trail specifics, however the short description is 3.8 miles of is an easy and fairly level hike on crushed gravel equivalent to a rural driveway, high use, open year round and suitable for most hikers, bikers and photographers. The best part is you can begin right from the house!

What we love about this home…why we own it: peaceful, quiet, serene, immersion into nature, wildlife in our yard, quality of local neighbors, fresh air, beauty of the home, beauty of the river (Eric grew up here but I remember saying in 2007 on my first trip to Libby..,” it’s the most beautiful river I’ve ever seen…I can’t believe the color of the water”), the ability to calm down from our Seattle lives and just leave it behind for a while. I’m sure the place will affect your soul, spirit and mind too.

With everything being so tenuous in our modern world, we strongly advise guests secure a “Cancel for any reason” travel insurance policy. Covid is still having its way with us humans, forest fires and natural disasters happen, home, job and health sometimes refuse to let us be…protect the investment in your vacation. Google: Forbes Advisor Best Travel Insurance for up to date comparative analysis on plans. You are depending on us to provide you the vacation you paid for. Therefore, we must adhere to our fair cancellation policy so you must rely on travel protection for your unforeseen emergency cancellation refunds.

For all guests booking after June 1, 2022: For reservation changes (not cancellations) after initial booking, the hosts reserve the right to assess a $25 reservation change fee, per occurrence. Fee will be sent through as an additional fee request on the VRBO platform.

*****For your protection and ours: We will never participate in off platform booking requests or monetary exchanges. Always call VRBO or contact us directly if any request for additional funds is ever made to you. This privately owned and managed property is legally allowed to perform as a short term rental. Your hosts only accept reservations on this single vacation rental platform (VRBO) …there will never be a double booked situation arise. *****

This was one of the best VRBOs I have ever stayed at and I have stayed at many. It was so clean and so well stocked. The location was beautiful.

Lovely time visiting my hometown
The touches were amazing. I can safely say I’ve never stayed at a vacation property that offers this level of amenities. Everything is clearly labeled and easy to find. Serving plates, plates, saucers, pans, trays, simply everything you can think of. Seasonings and spices. Need a telescope? There is one in the closet. Need a hiking backpack? Closet! Wanna take a bath? It’s like being in a store. An entire display shelf, sorry two entire shelves, of product to use. Want to send a post card? They had one in the wall pre-stamped. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. I can tell you love it by the level of care you put into the property. Thank you for sharing it with us!

5 Star Montana Vaca
We loved our time at this sweet VRBO. This host has truly thought of everything and all you must do is come and relax. We had a ball here watching the bighorn, deer, rabbits and turkey. The property is located in the most perfect river setting. The host was very responsive and helpful. We rent a lot of vrbos a year and this one was top notch and blew us away with the organization and thought to detail. My crew went fly fishing, did the falls and suspension bridge, went to the splash pad in town and checked out the dam. It was a great escape from our very high paced life back in Texas. Can't wait to come back.

Montana Magic
This log home on the banks of the Kootenai River was just what we were seeking for our NW Montana vacation. Eric and Deborah certainly put a lot of thought and effort into anticipating our needs for an enjoyable stay. The home is beautiful, comfortable, clean and well supplied. There are endless opportunities for recreation in the surrounding area, so another vacation there is planned! We really enjoyed morning and evening walks and all the wonderful wildlife. Deer, turkey, bighorn sheep, rabbits, bald eagles, ducks, bald eagles and golden eagles abound. It’s a great place to take in the Montana magic!

Serenity-
The property was very well appointed. The owner went above expectations with prompt and very helpful communication. We especially enjoyed the suggestions of what to do in the area. The use it, leave it, deplete it replace it directive was so appreciated. After traveling a long distance it was an easy transition to making this home “ our home” without having to immediately go to the grocery store. The local wild life was awesome to see. Unfortunately in bear country there were no bear sightings. Perhaps a good thing! Thanks a bunch! Nancy, Kallie, Martha and Heyda

Amazing Retreat
We had an amazing stay in Libby! Deb and Eric were great hosts who were very communicative, had a beautiful property and thought of every last amenity you might need in their home. We used their cabin as a home base while visiting family and friends in Libby, and it was like we had transplanted our own home there. We had a perfect place to rest our weary bodies after each day’s exploration. We had plenty of room, beds were comfy, living room and outdoor spaces so comfortable, kitchen perfect and well-stocked. Thanks for sharing your place and letting us make some fantastic memories there too!

Slice of Montana Pie Paradise
Amazing family vacation destination! All the right elements for a wonderful stay. The perfect hosts with superb communication who offered helpful information about the surrounding area and options. Very attentive hosts who truly want you to have the most enjoyable stay as possible. The location is perfect for feeling removed but being close enough to amenities that it is not inconvenient to run into town for supplies. The home embodies all the rustic elements that one would desire in Montana with modern convenience of internet if desired. Beautiful river right out your back door that beckons and train across the way that was a fun surprise. Paved road on way in is perfect for biking as well as access at end of dead end road to hiking and biking trails. Wildlife abound and enjoyed visits from deer, turkeys and big horn sheep. You will not be disappointed! Didn't want to leave and can't wait to return!

The best house to call it home. High speed internet/WiFi to work remotely. Super comfortable oversized king bed. Deers, turkeys and bighorn sheep - you can find it sneaking around a house a whole day. Nice view of mountains and swift river. 2 hours from West Glacier by a good maintained road - a good choice to visit Glacier NP on weekends. I definitely would stay here again in the future. Thank you, Eric and Deborah, for this gem in Montana!
