As the days get shorter and the leaves begin their incredible transformation, there’s no place quite like Montana to be a part of the magic of autumn. The Big Sky State certainly comes alive with fiery reds, golden yellows, and rustic oranges, painting a picture that’s nothing short of enchanting. Of course, some people are lucky enough to live here which means simply walking outside gives them a front-row seat to the beauty. However, if you’re from outside the state, there are still plenty of ways to take it in. A fall road trip is always fun, but I love the idea of a vacation rental to make the season feel like an adventure. Located in Park County, in the small town of Pray, there’s a fantastic fall cabin rental in Montana that I love. This idyllic location offers not just a place to stay, but also a way to experience crisp mountain air and nearby outdoor activities.

Welcome to the School House Cabin, located in Old Chico, Montana. While it sits in an area with another cabin, this little beauty feels truly special.

The rebuilt 1800s log cabin once stood just outside of Helena, but after being purchased by its current owner, it was moved and re-stacked in the historic gold mining town of Old Chico.

The cabin is rustic, but contemporary. The entrance is just as inviting as the surrounding landscape.

Four people can sleep comfortably here in one king bed and a double futon. Set up like a studio, the bedroom and living room area are combined. And, if you don't love the idea of unplugging, help yourself to the free wifi.

The kitchen comes with everything you'll need to prepare cozy, fall-inspired meals.

And you'll certainly be in the right autumnal frame of mind simply by looking outside. Sitting in Emigrant Gulch, right in the heart of Paradise Valley, the views here are nothing short of spectacular.

You can cook inside, choose to use the BBQ outside, or make your way into town for dinner at one of the local restaurants. It's also right near Chico Hot Springs and only 35 minutes from Yellowstone, which means there are lots of adventures to be had.

While we love the idea of a fall visit, the cabin is lovely year round. If you miss autumn, make plans to stay in the winter!
