Yellowstone Traditions in collaboration with Swaback Partners created this cozy rustic cabin nestled on just over 85 acres north of Bozeman, Montana. Offering a breathtaking backdrop of the Bridger Mountains, this 1,300 square foot cabin offers a deceivingly small footprint. Welcoming one up to this cabin is an inviting 14-foot porch that overlooks private ponds that are fully-stocked with trout. The interior of this homestead includes a gallery-style kitchen, living room, upstairs loft and master bedroom and bathroom with access to an outdoor shower.

The barn is a historic log structure that was dismantled, relocated, and reconstructed using its original materials. Custom doors and cabinetry helped to complete the interior.

What We Love: This cozy rustic cabin provides a family getaway to spend time together outdoors doing what they love. A fishing cabin that is designed to spend time outside, yet offers all the modern amenities one would need to live comfortably. The interior layout feels open and spacious thanks to a cleverly designed floor plan. Overall, the project team did a fabulous job of creating a warm and welcoming environment for family gathering.

Above: Both the ceiling and floors throughout this cozy rustic cabin are clad in rough sawn fir planks.

Above: A compact kitchen features cabinetry fabricated from recycled fir, topped with honed slate countertops and backsplash. There is a Wolf two-burner gas stove and Villeroy & Boch farmhouse sink. This tiny space is only 36 feet in size. The kitchen is only used for prep, as the homeowner’s spend most of their time on the front porch. They do most of most their cooking on the outdoor barbecue.

Above: In the master bedroom suite of this cozy rustic cabin, vertical wall panels of rough-sawn fir are painted in Linen White 912 | Benjamin Moore. They are then sanded to provide texture and a beautiful distressed finish. The bed was custom designed by Yellowstone Traditions, where storage underneath provides clever solutions to keep clutter at bay in this compact home.

Above: The master bathroom shower features a tumbled travertine floor and a small doorway that leads to the outdoor shower.

Above: Outside, large slabs of Harlowton stone provides steps to the enclosed outdoor shower. This shower offers close proximity to the ponds and river. Providing an invigorating experience, it’s a convenient spot to clean off after a day of fishing.
