There are few things more relaxing than spending quality time by the water. This is especially true if that water happens to be located in the beautiful northern part of Montana, just about as close to the Canadian border as one can get. Nestled amongst the trees, time seems to slow down here. The area is close to various nature activities and it's comforting to know that at the end of a long day exploring the region, you can retreat to the best cabin rental near Lake Koocanusa.
Lake Koocusa is located in Rexford, about 30 minutes from the Canadian border. At about 90 miles long, it's a gorgeous and large lake to see.
The lake might be considered a bit remote to some, which is why we love the idea of an overnight stay. We recommend making a weekend of it by booking yourself at the best cabin rental near Lake Koocanusa.

This hilltop cabin retreat sleeps four people in two bedrooms. There's one bathroom that has been redone with some of the most unique decor.
Best of all, it's perfect for relaxing after a day outside exploring everything the area has to offer.
One of the most convenient sights to see is the Koocanusa Bridge which spans the entirety of the lake. And, at 270 feet high and 2,437 feet long, it's both the tallest and longest bridge in Montana.

It's truly magnificent and it offers a great way to take in the enormity of the lake itself.
Another fantastic activity to enjoy during your stay at the best cabin rental near Lake Koocusa is the Lake Koocanusa Scenic Byway. This beautiful journey will take you from Libby to Eureka along the shores of the lake. It should take just over an hour depending on how many times you stop, making it doable in an afternoon.
When you're done, head back home to enjoy the simple outdoor deck. Take in the breeze, look out over the lake, and remember just how lucky you are to spend time in Montana.
While this is certainly the best cabin rental near Lake Koocanusa, there's a good chance that visiting will be a bit of a trek. If that's the case, I love the idea of turning the journey into a multi-day road trip. But don't even think about doing that before consulting our list of the best road trip snacks!
As we creep closer to the changing of the seasons, the cooling of temperatures, and the arrival of fall colors, I think I can speak for all of us Montanans that we want to soak up as much of this beautiful summer weather as we can before summer comes to a close. If you're looking for a last-minute getaway in nature, these six gorgeous Airbnbs in Montana are the ticket to relaxation in Big Sky Country. Each home is memorable in its own way and is sure to bring the relaxation and solitude you crave.

The Lost Antler Cabin in Paradise is aptly named, not only for its secluded location but for its stunning surrounding landscape. This cabin sleeps three, offers one-and-a-half baths, and all the rustic charm a handful of adventurers could want. Gaze at the night sky in front of the outdoor fire pit, then retire to your loft-style room in your little slice of paradise at the end of a full day of exploring all the natural beauty that surrounds you.
2. The Mountain Yurt, Emigrant
The Mountain Yurt is situated on 35 acres of pristine, secluded landscape with stunning views of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. It provides all the privacy in nature that you could want.

Soak in the mountain views in front of your wood-burning fireplace each morning and evening as you enjoy the luxurious comfort of your home-away-from-home. You'll be treated to plush bedding on your queen bed, a sleeper sofa downstairs, and another twin-sized mattress in the loft, making this getaway truly family-friendly. You'll be located only 30 minutes from Yellowstone National Park and only 45 minutes from Bozeman, so you'll have plenty of outdoor recreation at your disposal. The only problem you'll encounter is that you may not ever want to leave!
