1 Bedroom Cabin in Drummond, Clinton

During it's heyday this property, formerly known as The Valley of the Moon Ranch, originally belonged to William McDowell, the Lt. Governor of Montana from 1913 - 1921. Some noted visitors to the property were Theodore Roosevelt, cowboy author Louie L'Amour, and artist Charlie Russell. It is one of two historical Rock Creek properties offered by Trout Bums for rent, and one of the few buildings from that historic era that remains standing.
The Valley of the Moon property was later purchased by Bob and Maridell Bandy; the Bandy's daughter Bonnie Gilbert now owns the property where horses once again roam the 43 acres of lush green fields that remain of the original 1800 acre ranch. The balance of the property was sold to the USFS in the early 1970's leaving the remaining 43 acres fully surrounded by public access property. Rock Creek flows through the Southeast corner of the property. The 'Governor's Hole', a favorite fishing spot around the 3 mile marker of Rock Creek is named after this home, which can be seen across the creek.
Many artifacts remain on the property from its days as a working ranch, including old tractors, plows, sheepherders wagon, buggy house and other outbuildings. The octagon well house, which covers the original hand dug 20 ft deep brick lined well, is still there. Though the water quality is excellent from the hand pump that still works, the hand dug well is no longer used. A deeper, modern well, provides water for the property.
In addition to the old well house, the ice house (an old log structure) still stands on the south of the home and is a wonderful reminder of days gone by. The interior walls of the ice house were lined with boards that provided a layer of sawdust as insulation to keep the huge chunks of ice collected from the creek in the winter frozen in the summer, and ta-da, refrigeration!
Unfortunately, many years have passed and the Valley of the Moon home has been robbed of some of the former splendor, but renovation continues to unfold the beauty that once was there. The renovated guest quarters is a beautiful, fully equipped retreat for you to enjoy! The Bandy/Gilbert family (owners of this unique property) hope you will join in their excitement as they continue the workof restoring their Valley of the Moon Homestead to what it once was.
The 650 sq ft 'guest quarters' with private entrance adjoins the main portion of the home and the two units share the porch, grill and laundry room.

Summary: A delightful place to stay and the fishing was fun too! This is a beautiful cottage/cabin in an absolutely beautiful meadow and short walk to the river. The cabin/guest quarters are tastefully decorated and VERY comfortable. Deb made the process of staying there simple and very easy to understand. We loved our time (only wish we could have been there longer).

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this peaceful, secluded cabin. We loved the history of the place as well as the setting. We had everything we needed for our week of R&R. Fishing was good, but Rock Creek was a little much for us at our age. We decided to fish up the west fork of Rock Creek and it was perfect for us. We also enjoyed Ekstrom Station restaurant. We hope to visit again soon!

Summary: This cabin is the perfect escape. The setting is beautiful, the cabin is a one-of-a-kind experience, the yard/horses are wonderful, and the river is a short walk away. It sleeps 3 but was perfect for our family of four (two young children who shared a bed). I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get a quintessential Montana getaway.
