Tucked away on a quiet hillside near Fishtail, Montana, Mystic View Cabins offers guests a chance to slow down and reconnect with nature. Surrounded by sweeping views of the Beartooth Mountains, these comfortable cabins combine rustic charm with modern conveniences, including fully equipped kitchens, inviting living spaces, and private outdoor areas perfect for watching wildlife or enjoying spectacular Montana sunsets. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or an extended vacation, Mystic View Cabins provides a peaceful home base for exploring one of the state's most scenic regions

WE HAD an overflow of about 15 people at the weekend's family reunion when the RSVPs came in.

The view from Mystic View Cabins Fishtail Montana is spectacular, with the beautiful Beartooths right out the door.

Each cabin includes a welcome with brochures, suggestions and contacts. 

So a couple months ago, I started researching vacation rentals in our area in the remote Beartooth Mountains.

We found an idyllic place in Mystic View Cabins Fishtail Montana, where part of the Cosgriffe Clan stayed for two peaceful, nature-nudged nights.

Owners Jerry and Sheri Cross have poured lots of love, toil and tenderness into the four cabins near Fishtail.

A full kitchen and plenty of sleeping await in the large A-frame.

Named for the elk, moose and deer that inhabit the countryside, the artfully decorated cabins have a rustic, comforting appeal.

The price is reasonable -- about $125 for the large A-frame cabin for four people, plus $10 per each additional person.

Each cabin has a full kitchen, comfy beds and pretty views.

From the cabins, you can walk or ride a horse, enjoy the vistas of the gorgeous Beartooth Mountains, rest, read, soak up the quiet.

"We've tried to make people welcome," says Sheri, who comes from Illinois. (Jerry is a native New Yorker.) The couple has had the cabins for three years, working full-time to create the enterprise and get the word out.

LOCATED on Jules Way, about 12 miles out of Fishtail on the West Rosebud Road, if you approach from the West, you'll come via Fiddler Creek. (The two roads intersect.)

The cabins accommodate from two to 10 guests.

From fly fishing on nearby rivers and hiking mountain trails to simply relaxing on the porch with a cup of coffee, Mystic View Cabins captures the essence of Montana's wide-open spaces. Guests leave with memories of breathtaking vistas, quiet mornings, and star-filled nights that remind them why Big Sky Country is unlike anywhere else. If you're looking for a comfortable retreat that places you in the heart of Montana's natural beauty, Mystic View Cabin may be just right
