Kootenay is a bunkhouse and is the smallest of the three off-grid cabins conveniently located next to Home Ranch Bottoms. It features a full, private bath (hot shower!), a pullout couch, a twin bunkbed and a coffee bar. It does not have a kitchen or electricity and best serves guests who are in need of a basecamp with a hot shower in between daily adventures.
Each cabin has a private yard to enjoy campfires and yard games. A gravel road/trail weaves throughout the property connecting the cabins to the array of amenities offered at our bar, restaurant and music venue across the field.
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS:
Don't go far! You'll find fresh-squeezed huckleberry margaritas, smash burgers and incredible live music right next door at Home Ranch Bottoms. Maps and adventure planning, too.

Hi! We're Liz and Flan! We are your hosts at Home Ranch Cabins! We live full time in Polebridge with our husbands and mostly good - bad dogs. When we're not hard at work, you can find us floating the river, drinking huckleberry margaritas on a mountain top or square dancing at the community hall. We are so excited to have you join us in the North Fork for adventure, relaxation or whatever your heart desires. Cheers friends!
