Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
"We lived in the bathrobes and went from quiet mornings on the patio, to quiet days with each other, to quiet nights in the hot tub or in front of the fireplace. PERFECT for a romantic weekend away. Can’t wait to visit again!!" Nick - Australia
"This was a DREAM stay to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. Absolutely stunning views, great recommendations, clean, gorgeously decorated house. Super accommodating host. I would give 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!!!" Becky & Zach - Illinois
"Went to Montana for our honeymoon! The Little Black A-Frame was very private and secluded. Tenae has a gift of hospitality. We felt so much peace, comfort and splendor at the cabin... we only left once. We enjoyed the hot tub under the stars, cozied up by the fire, cooked in the kitchen & relaxed in the huge king bed in the loft. We felt very loved and cared for." Julie & Kondwani - S. Carolina

ROADS/WEATHER/WILDFIRES/CANCELLATIONS
ROADS/WINTER STORMS: The road to the A-Frame is paved until the last ¼ mile which is a maintained dirt road. The last 100 feet to the cabin is steep. 4WD or AWD vehicles with good tires are required during winter months if there is snow or ice on the road. A 2WD drive vehicle will NOT make it to the top if the road is snowy but will be fine on dry roads. If a winter storm is anticipated, the garage will be temporarily unavailable to guests to allow a tractor to be parked & ready to move snow. We do not offer refunds due to road conditions or winter storms. Please plan accordingly and consider purchasing trip insurance to protect yourself.
WILDFIRE/SMOKE: Wildfire season in MT is May-Sept. Some years we have little to no smoke and others we have heavy smoke due to wildfires in the area or smoke blowing in from other states. There may be fire restrictions or bans in place that could prevent use of the outdoor firepits during the summer. Because May-Sept is our high season and fires are out of our control, we do not offer refunds for cancellations or reservation date changes due to wildfires, smoke or fire bans. Please consider purchasing trip insurance to protect yourself.
CANCELLATIONS: Our calendar stays booked year round. To protect us as business owners, we do not offer refunds for cancellations outside our cancellation policy. Please consider purchasing travel insurance through airbnb or elsewhere to protect your trip. Thank you for understanding.
