Steep Lane Lodge

Come unwind at our lovely cabin tucked into the pines on 38 secluded, private acres in the Nine Mile Divide Mountains. This cabin offers amazing views of the valley, the Bitterroot Range, and sunsets you’ll never forget. So kick back and enjoy the sights, sounds and serenity of the mountains in Big Sky country. Whether you seek unforgettable outdoor adventures, or a private haven to relax, we hope we can help you find it here in this majestic part of western Montana that we love so much! With the serenity and privacy that our cabin offers comes a long, improved dirt driveway which has a couple of relatively steep inclines. In the winter months, a four wheel drive truck or SUV would be required and having tire chains available is highly recommended. For your convenience: As an added service for our guests, we provide travel cribs and high chairs upon request, free of charge. Pet Policy: This is a pet friendly property, however, there is a 2 dog limit. With smart locks we can provide a contactless check-in. We are available to interact as little or as much as our guests prefer. We provide a digital guidebook of the area which includes lots of information about things to do and places to check out. We are always happy to make personalized suggestions as well. The closest town of Superior is less than 10 miles down the highway and should provide all the services you may need.

Across the highway HD 202 is also a general unit.
