A cozy rustic cabin set amidst the beauty of the rugged Montana mountains

Miller-Roodell Architects is responsible for the design of this cozy rustic cabin situated in Bridger Canyon, an idyllic area Northeast of Bozeman, Montana. This inviting cabin encompasses 1,665 square feet of living space with two-bedrooms. It offers an idyllic respite for a Texas family to feel both nostalgic and at home.

The homeowner’s vision for this rustic guesthouse included the following: a design that is regionally specific, modest in scale and historically appropriate. It also needed to be textured, layered and have personalized details throughout. With a symmetrical cross-axis design, timbered features, and simple materials, this cabin melds beautifully into the surrounding terrain.

What We Love: This cozy rustic cabin in Montana is infused with character, personality and a sense of place. Surrounded by a tranquil setting of aspens, forested foothills and breathtaking views, this guesthouse provides an idyllic getaway. We are especially loving the collected look throughout the interiors, with a rustic material palette providing a warm and inviting feel.

A simple material palette was employed in this guesthouse: wood siding, metal roof, stone base veneer and fireplace. The overall design aesthetic is more refined than a traditional rustic home.

The designer sourced several pieces in this home from fairs and antique shops — in both Bozeman and Texas. Rugs were found at the Round Top Antiques Fair. There are also Yellowstone Park memorabilia found scattered throughout this cabin.

Some interesting touches here and there. The kitchen and living room are too neutral throughout, creating sterility in areas where you want to convey warmth.

Well it is designed to blend into the surrounding hills, which it does nicely. I did not see a patio or deck in the back, to sit and listen to the aspens blow in the breeze. I am hoping there is a better source of heat with all those windows than that fireplace. This is a house designed as a summer getaway for the wealthy and not a permanent residence. It’s a shame it will be priced accordingly. Hope the quality of the construction matches the asking price.
