Early October Deer hunting trip

Me and my hunting partner stayed for 5 days at Burt's cabin. This is an annual trip for us hunting in this area. Getting there was easy if you follow Burt's directions. We were amazed at the setting from the time we drove up. This was without a doubt the best place we have stayed over the last 5 years. The cabin had everything you might need except groceries of course. Internet was fast. We didn't watch tv but there are two tv's in the cabin. There was an abundance of wildlife on the lake. Ducks, geese, muskrat, cranes etc. The fishing was good and the sunsets were awesome. If we can get tags and the cabin is available we'll do it again next year. Awesome place! Thanks Burt!

Nice cabin on beautiful lake

Cabin was very nice and cozy. The property and surrounding lake were just beautiful. Our only problem was that we didn't stay longer. We used cabin as our hub to visit Yellowstone. Next time we are defiantly planning to stay longer so that we could use the kayaks and boat. Burt was great to work with.

Our Fall oasis

This was our 8th year back to Burt's cabin. We absolutely love to stay there. It's quiet & peaceful. The fishing is fabulous & the scenery sitting by the lake is perfect. We love the ducks who fly in & this year we saw a cow moose right across the water. Burt is a really nice guy & always makes sure he communicates & accommodates his guests. The cabin is well stocked with everything you need & he makes fun improvements every year. Plenty of room to stretch out & relax! The laundry room is a bonus & we enjoy sitting on the porch. Especially for morning coffee & evening sunsets. The cabin is close to St. Anthony sand dunes to ride side by sides. So fun!! We have also emjoyed West Yellowstone, Island Park, Harriman State Park, Big Springs & Upper and Lower Mesa Falls over the years. Thanks again Burt for the wonderful stay. Take care & see ya next year. #9

About the host

Hosted by Burt Butler

Having grown up on a lake in northern Minnesota, when Burt Butler moved from North Carolina to Idaho in 1993 to work for the state court system, one of his dreams was to find secluded lakefront property that his four children could enjoy, and ultimately build a cabin that the family could consider a comfortable second home. That dream came true in 1998 when Burt Butler found a unique secluded lakefront property on a peninsula with a gentle shoreline and spectacular fishing with no motor boats allowed on the lake. In the Fall of 2001 the elegant and rustic cabin was started and finished in June 2002. Now retired, in April 2019 Burt moved to the property permanently and has built a log garage with living quarters for himself 100 feet behind the cabin, leaving the cabin for his guests.

Why they chose this property

Our secluded vacation property, with close proximity to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, offers year round recreation opportunity for my family and guests. Swimming, canoeing, fishing and outdoor fires under the stars in the summer, Fall colors and 4 wheeling in the sand dunes adjacent to the lake, and early winter ice skating, and when the snow gets deep great cross country skiing and snowmobiling and the enjoyment of a wood stove. Owner Burt Butler in year 2020 built a garage with living quarters above and now lives on the property year round.

What makes this property unique

Peace, quiet, fires outside and inside, barbecue on the huge deck and dutch oven cooking, great fishing, wildlife variety from frogs, beavers, trumpeter swans, birds of all varieties including bald eagles, moose, deer, to a sighting of a wolf. Cabin is completely available to guests with separate parking and privacy while the owner lives in living quarters above garage 100 feet from the cabin.
