About this cabin rental

Situated in Condon, this attractive cabin for £183 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. With 360 degree views of the Swan Range and Mission Mountains serving as a backdrop, the Lazy Bean on private 230 acre ranch, is on the edge of one of the wildest, most primitive areas in the lower 48 states. Elk and whitetail deer habituate the sub-irrigated hay meadows and although rare, moose have been known to drop by. Muskrats, mink and otters are established residents of Smith Creek which runs through the property which also offers an intrepid angler a chance to test their skill against wily brook trout. Sandhill cranes, blue herons, bald and golden eagles are common sight (to better view this parade of animals please check out meadowlandranchmontana on Instagram). Some nights the wolves howl, the coyotes yip and the owls hoot. A unique feature of this working hay ranch is it's location next to the aforementioned primitive area which we call "The Bob", but is officially labelled "The Bob Marshall Wilderness". The Bob is over 1 million acres and extends at much as 60 miles along the continental divide. The Lazy Bean offers easy access to this as well as being just a few miles away from the Swan River - the home of Montana's most famous fish, the bull trout. And yes, there are bears. Grizzly and Black. The main ranch, Meadowland, is situated in grizzly bear corridor that has acted as a protective buffer to promote the endangered species recovery. DNA from hairs collected on sight assisted in this effort. The previous long term tenants of The Lazy Bean were involved with conservation and compiled a few videos of various bears at a game camera. One even has a wolf acting as ursine wingman (youtube wolves traveling with grizzly bear swan valley montana) Other nearby things to do include hikes in the Mission Mountains (which also have glaciers - each lake in that range is an individually melted glacier, several of which support micro-climates), hikes into The Swans (think Holland falls) and if boating on the list, the valley hosts some gems including Lindbergh, Holland and Seeley Lake. This list goes on: Flathead lake (the largest non-manmade lake west of Mississippi) is only 40 miles away with the very cute hamlet of Bigfork nestled in a pretty bay acting as a maritime hub. Glacier National Park is about 90 miles from us to the north while Yellowstone is 300 miles south. The cabin itself sleeps 4 very comfortably in 2 queen sized beds. There is a day bed on the main floor that sleeps 2. Pet friendly and although we don't have any RV facilities they are welcome as there is ample space to park. Cell phones work, there is wifi and a washer/dryer. No TV. Snowmobilers can directly access Forest Service Land from our ranch. The Lazy Bean has a 2 night minimum and if there is interest a secondary cabin with a bunk bed and bathroom can be made available for a small additional cost. In the photostream it is the small brown "Hunter's Cabin".

This was our second time visiting the Lazy Bean. The only disappointment was lack of snow. It was peaceful, restful, and beautiful. I had fun exploring all the books and hanging by the fireplace. We will definitely be back.

Went for a fall getaway but it ended up being freezing and snowy, but the cabin was warm and cozy, just what we needed to relax!

This cabin and it’s location was the perfect spot for our mountain/wilderness getaway. We explored the area after receiving some tips from the homeowner, who was very hospitable. We recommend Glacier’s “Going to the Sun” road (you need a reservation), Flathead Lake (travel to the other side) and Holland Lake/Falls (be sure to hike to the falls). We spent our days exploring and nights sitting around the fire pit while sipping wine. We brought our telescope and it did not disappoint. The night was black and the sky looked like a photo from National Geographic, filled with countless planets and stars. We were even able to see the Milkyway without the scope. We saw many shooting stars and satellites moving through the atmosphere. It was truly spectacular. The cabin was authentic and fun, not fancy, but perfect. Nature lovers will never want to leave. We have already started developing our 10-year plan to relocate to the area (it’s that great). If you are hesitant to book this place, we say take the plunge and go for it. You will not be sorry. Happy Travels, The Marksberry’s

Most amazing place!! The cabin was everything we thought it would be and more. There was a TV in one of the closets, but we never tried to figure out if or how we could hook it up as we were too busy drinking in the views and enjoying unplugging from it all! Andy [the host/owner] is awesome!! He made us feel so welcome, was a great source of knowledge about history [so interesting...] as well as current trails and best restaurants. Our 3 big dogs had an amazing time too!! Whitetail deer played in the meadow every morning. Truly the best vacation and can't wait to go back....caution a visit here may change your life outlook and plans!! [LOL]

We had a great family get together at the Lazy Bean. Beautiful location, lovely cabin - the perfect get away. Andy greeted us shortly after we arrived and was very communicative throughout. We loved perusing the extensive book collection and fun decor. We all hope to be back soon.
