About this property

The Sha Bear Retreat is nestled in the mountains along the Yaak River of the NW corner of Montana. From Libby, follow Hwy 2 West until you see the Yaak River Road [Hwy 508]. Go 9.2 miles then turn Right on 'SHABEAR WAY'. Follow the long driveway down and around [1/4 mile] until you pull up in front of a large Log Home sitting up on a slight hill.

The cabin, sits at 2700’ elevation, aver. temp. during the spring through fall is a pleasant 70 degrees, with the hottest months of late July and August {averages about 85-97*} yielding to the coldest months on average is late Dec-Jan . It is truly a delight to splash around in the Yaak River or to hike in the spring and fall, or to snow shoe, snowmobile, or ski during the winter in the annual 7‘+ average snowfall..The Yaak and the Kootenai Rivers are filled with breathtaking views and an abundance of history.

On the other hand, some simply enjoy the peace and serenity that only God and Mother Nature can bring.

Go for a drive to Kalispell where you are at the West entrance to Glacier International Park. Go see the Bear Park! Go see the wonderful ancient glaciers in the park. Driving up “Going to the Sun Road”, you can stop and take pictures of park slopes and wildlife that lives there.

Or you can drive/walk down river to the Yaak Falls just 2 miles away! The Kootenai Falls with a suspended Bridge is where the movie “A River Wild“ was filmed; starring Kevin Bacon and Meryl Streep, as well as a portion of Remnant w/DeCaprio . The movie “Always” was also filmed here with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus at Bad Medicine Mt /Bull Lake. You never know whose path you will cross!!!

You will never experience anything more peaceful than sitting under the stars at night, with a campfire watching Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) when the conditions are right in Aug-Sep.

Relax on the Yaak River in back of our log home and watch the Golden and Bald Eagles fly above your head! You will never want to leave !

Perfect September Getaway

At the last moment, we booked a 3-day stay at ShaBear cabin. The cabin is very comfortable, especially for two people. The main floor bed was very comfortable and the bedding was top notch. We didn't sleep on the bed on the loft. The living space, while small, is very well planned. On demand hot water for showers was appreciated. The Keurig coffee machine was amazing. We loved the rockers on the front porch to have our morning coffee. RB was a perfect host to help ensure we had plenty of firewood for our evening fire. Everything was clean and ready for us. We would have stayed longer but work called us back home. Just to know, there is no actual closet space except for the loft area which has plenty of room. If you don't have a problem climbing the loft ladder...no worries. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Wonderful Stay!

Our time at the Sha Bear cabin was the most relaxing we ever had. Very peaceful, quiet, and the cabin was very clean and comfortable. Beautifully decorated with all the amenities. The day trips to Troy and Libby and also exploring the mountain roads was so much fun. We stayed 7 days and hope to return again. The owners are wonderful.

The cabin was beautiful and very private. The beds were comfortable. The bedding was good quality. We were able to walk a short distance to the river and saw a lot of deer. Wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by RB

We are retired Military and currently run a business out of our home. We counsel people on their relationships & we are Life Coaches. We love living in the National Forest & to walk out on our balcony and hear the river rushing by is amazing to us. We try to have our coffee on the deck as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

Living high in the mountains of the extreme North West corner of Montana has always been our dream place. We have always lived in the mountains but always wanted to be remote. My husband RunningBear and I bought our log home in 2002 and then built the Amish Log Cabin rental 2 years later. We wanted to be able to have extra space for family and friends to come and visit and have their own privacy. We have never wanted to live anywhere else. The beauty of the Yaak Valley is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been & we have lived all over the country.

What makes this property unique

We love the sound of the river streaming by everyday. We love the sound of all the Eagles screeching flying above looking for food and the deer longing around the property. We love walking out amongst the tall pines, hiking the trails, fishing, riding horses or ATV's.
