The Space:
Come enjoy this little historic nugget close to downtown Red Lodge. This rustic cabin offers a studio style queen bed along with small living room, full bathroom and kitchenette area. During pleasant weather you can enjoy a ten-minute walk downtown from this location. There is only room for one compact car to park here so please note this before booking. This charming cabin has been in the loving care of the same family for 60 + years and that family has worked with Pepsi for most of that time so located within these log walls you'll find antique Pepsi gems that give much character to the space. When the sun is shining sitting outside in two Adirondack chairs is a perfect coffee spot in the morning. This cabin is a worker cabin built in the 1930's for crews that created the Beartooth Highway. If the walls could talk, we would hear some doozies! Even with all this rustic charm, you'll still enjoy Wi-Fi and streaming tv when you choose.
Coal Creek Cabin is 6.8 miles from Red Lodge Mountain

The Neighborhood:
Red Lodge, nestled in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains, is a wonderful place to visit if you are looking for family fun, a place to touch the wild, or just a chance to let your hair down. Whether you are wearing Birkenstocks or cowboy boots, you will find something to do here. (Although downtown is paved and we even have sidewalks, Jimmy Choos are probably not a great idea!)
In winter the road ends here. Downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, sledding and sleigh riding are just the short list of activities that you can do when visiting us.
In summer we revel in the Beartooth Pass opening. We are only 68 miles from Yellowstone Park, but plan on a good two hours` drive as the “Pass” is stunning in high mountain vistas, rocky cliffs, and jeweled lakes. The Custer National Forest is a haven for wildlife including elk, moose, mountain goats, big horn sheep, bears (black and grizzly), mountain lions and wolves. Golden marmots are often seen dashing across the trails. Golden and bald eagles often visit our area, as well as sandhill cranes and blue herons.

Red Lodge, Montana is a rural community that does offer internet and cell service throughout most geographic areas but, some locations are completely void of any internet or cell service. In town and within a 3-5 mile radius of downtown you will enjoy solid cell signal but during times when our population increases due to events, celebration (such as the Fourth of July), or emergency situations such as a wildfire you will notice that these online and cellular services slow down and sometimes, they can slow down to the point where you have to wait to place a call. We can’t do anything to help in these situations, so we encourage people to enjoy the freedom of being “unplugged” and to be patient.
Interaction with Guests:
