Montana Vacation Rental Cabins - Gallatin River Montana Vacation Cabins. The Trout Club

Letters from our guests:

Hello Mike!

We absolutely loved your bit of Montana. The cabin was even more perfect than it looked in the pictures. We didn’t see a single person the entire time we were there, which is exactly what we were going for. Amazing how warm that cabin stays, we didn’t even use electric heat all weekend. Can’t wait to come back some time. Thank you so much for finding a turkey roaster..it worked out very well. All in all an awesome, awesome trip, exactly what we all wanted. That river is amazing and there was a perfect amount of snow for sledding. Good job finding such a nice piece of land and making it so welcoming and cozy. We all wish we could buy it J. Thanks again, hope your Thanksgiving was great!

Hi Mike,
A little late in commenting on our stay at Annie's Cabin, but have been playing massive catch-up. Everything the information on Annie's Cabin said was absolutely correct and then some. We had a lovely time tucked away from all the world in a perfect setting. The Gallatin was amazing. We would love to return to paradise.

Hi Mike,

Just a quick note to let you know that all went well on our trip. The Rainbow cabin was great & we had such a wonderful time! It was a bit cold when we arrived (-9) and the temps dropped to -19 degrees the next morning. After everything warmed up a bit we had an absolute ball! It was everything that I imagined it would be & more. We are looking forward to our next trip out that way & may very well just wait until winter again! The snowmobiling was fantastic!

Please thank Helen for me. She recommended a couple of places to stop & we took her advice. We found a couple of really nice items at the antique mall that she recommended. I was really tickled.

Anyway, thanks again for all of your help in making this a wonderful vacation with memories that will last a lifetime!

Please take care.

Mike :

I wanted to express our gratitude for letting us stay at Cutthroat
Cabin. We had such a spectacular time in Montana and hope to visit again.
The cabin was wonderful and everything worked out perfectly! Thanks again!

Mike:

Just wanted to let you know that Annie's Cabin was a delight. All of the wonderful "little touches" that are there make it so very comfortable and cozy. I truly loved your little piece of heaven.

Dr. Mike:

Thank you 'so very much' for once again allowing us to enjoy the Rainbow Cabin over the Thanksgiving Holidays! We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed watching Winter slowly creep in and take over the area.

Besides getting in some much needed relaxation, while we were in Montana, we got in some great fishing and hunting. As proof, thought that you would enjoy seeing the attached picture of a nice trout caught on the upper Maddie with outfitter Chad Olsen......it literally goes from one of my shoulders to the other.

Doctor:

We just wanted to send you a word of thanks and tell you that we were in love with Annie's before we got here and are even more so now after calling it home for the past 4 nights. We have run the wheels off of our rental car and will be working our way to Jackson at day's end tomorrow for an overnight stay and daytrip Monday in the Tetons...back here Monday night. Everything is secure here....fishing has been slow, but still wonderful to walk to the Gallatin at daybreak. Thanks a million! Hope to do this again soon! God Bless!

Mike:

Words can't describe it...as I sit here, under 7 feet of snow at the base of the Adirondacks, my heart and mind are still on the Gallatin, standing in front of the cabin, catching more fish than any man has a right to...
Speaking for my Dad and my brothers, thanks for that opportunity.
It was a 60th birthday present we'll never regret giving.

Dear Mike & Helen,

We are back in New Orleans after a fabulous family holiday in the North West. We just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to stay at the rainbow cabin, it is a great place and we loved it. Sorry we did not have a chance to spend a little time with you, but it was good to meet you, being only for a couple of minutes. The kids loved the fishing and caught a few trout near the cabin.

All the best,

Jo, John, & Co.

Mike,

We wanted to thank you again for the wonderful weekend at The Trout Club. It was very restful, yet filled with the opportunity to make great memories.

Mike, so sorry we didn't get to meet you, but annie's cabin was absolutely wonderful! We arrived to a foot of fresh clean snow, and it was perfect weather all week. thank you so much for providing a perfect place for us to stay.

Sara Osterhaus

Mike, Thanks for the absolutely wonderful weekend. We look forward to going up again. Maybe this summer, but definitely again next winter. Annie's Cabin was absolutely everything we dreamed it would be. Thanks again.

Dear Mike:

Re: Annie's cabin

Debbie keeps the cabin spotless - and we had a great time. You might add to your website the fact that The Trout Club is great for non-fishers, too. We enjoyed walking The Trout Club road in both directions; south for riparian forest ecology, north for irrigation engineering and geology; bird and plant identification everywhere. The canyon opens out at both ends for good mountain views - and lazing about the cabin is also highly recommended. Thanks for the good time. We will spread the word.

Mike, just thought I'd drop a line to tell you what a great time me and my buddies had last week at the Rainbow Cabin.

We all had a great time. Fished the Madison several days and we slayed them. Several 19" browns and lots of 15-17" rainbows. On the last day we went to the Yellowstone River and one of our crew caught a 20" rainbow. We caught a lot of fish in the Gallatin also.

We saw moose, elk, otters, beaver and antelope. Had a wonderful time. The cabin was fantastic.

Take care. I'm sure we'll see you next year.

Mike;

Just wanted to finally get back to you and express our appreciation for a really good experience in your "Rainbow" Cabin. The cabin was clean, well stocked and just as you described.

Even though the Gallatin was running full, and brown during our stay, we enjoyed the cabin and the sound of the river. We had to go to great lengths to find clear water to fish in (Mid-May 2001) but when we did, the fishing was great and we had a wonderful time.

Thanks again for letting us share this excellent accommodation. Montana, and the Gallatin Valley, truely are God's country!

Mike--

I've been meaning to e-mail you to let you know how much two of my sons and I enjoyed our stay in your cutthroat cabin and the fishing on the gallatin. The accommodations were very enjoyable, and we wanted for nothing. the fishing was very good. on several days we caught 10 - 15 fish each - mix of east slope cuts, bows and a few browns. one afternoon upstream from the cabins i landed two 15-17 inch cuts on two successive casts from downstream of a large boulder on a bubblebee i had tied here in lexington. that was fun. we hope to come back again soon.

        Dear Dr. Teitelbaum,

    We enjoyed our stay at Annie's cabin so much we are planning a return trip. There was a problem with our last stay....................it wasn't long enough!!!!

    The seclusion and scenery of the canyon are magnificent. Having the doe eating on the foliage by the patio our last evening there was so enjoyable. We also saw several others as we came and went from the cabin to the river.

    The Gallatin River is a fly fisherman's paradise!!! I have been fly
fishing for two years and never have I seen so many trout rise for such a long period of time. It is one of the easier rivers to wade and fish for a novice fisherman like me.

    The diary on the desk is such a perfect idea and it gave us some ideas on the flies to use since we weren't familiar with the area. It made interesting reading.

    Thank you for such a nice vacation and a nice cozy cabin. I highly
recommend it to any couple. It was very nice of you to stop by since I had been wanting to meet you.

                                            Thanks again,
                                             Linda Cervantez

Dear Mike and Helen,

We just wanted to Thank You for the wonderful vacation we had at the Trout Club this past August. It really was the best vacation we have ever had. Sorry it took so long but we are back in the RAT RACE and time has flown by.

Everything at the Trout Club, from the scenery, to the fishing, to the cabin itself, was perfect. There is nothing in the world like sitting on the deck of Rainbow cabin in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee and just listening to the river flow by, except maybe, being in the river with a fly rod in your hand. We can't decide so we will call it a tie. Not a week goes by that one of us doesn't say "I want to go back to the cabin."

We were all impressed - 6 adults and 3 children under 3 years old - with the care and planning that you put into running such a wonderful vacation spot. You helped us show our kids what it is that we love so much about Montana. Being born and raised on the East Coast they couldn't get over the fact that there are still beautiful, peaceful, and FRIENDLY places left to escape to in this country. We thank you for allowing us the oportunity to show this to our
grandchildren.

Again, thank you for such a great time.

DEAR DOC & WIFE,

WE ARRIVED IN MONTANA SO LATE TO A SWEET LITTLE GLOWING LIGHT AND FRESH WILDFLOWERS IN OUR QUAINT CABIN. IF ONLY WE KNEW WHAT WE WOULD WAKE UP TO!!! LITTLE DEER THAT LOOK LIKE BUNNIES JUMPING ALL AROUND OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN WINDOW. WE WOKE TO A WONDERFUL SUPRISE. MONTANA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, THE MOST NATURAL BACK TO EARTH PLACE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. THE AIR IS EVEN ALIVE WITH SUCH BEAUTY AND SUCH A HEALTHY GUST. YOU FEEL REVIVED.

WE FISHED, WENT TO YELLOWSTONE, VIRGINIA CITY, QUAKE LAKE, GALLATIN GATEWAY AND STACEYS - ALL THAT WE COULD ABSORB IN THE TIME WE HAD. I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE HERE......ESPECIALLY MY HUSBAND! FISHING IS GREAT AND SET IN SUCH A SERENE NATURAL SETTING. GOD DEFINITELY WORKED OVERTIME IN MONTANA!

WE DO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING US STAY IN YOUR LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN AND FOR MAKING IT SO COZY. THE SPICES, THE FLOWERS, THE MOVIES - YOU PUT SO MUCH THOUGHT INTO THIS CABIN AND THE COMFORT OF OTHERS, AND IT SHOWS.

I DREAM OF MONTANA STILL AND WAKE UP AND MISS ALL OF ITS BEAUTY. IT'S IN OUR BLOOD NOW.

I DO HOPE THAT WE CAN COME BACK TO OUR CABIN AGAIN AND AGAIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SCOTT & CHERI PEAVY [in annie's cabin].

Dear Dr. Teitelbaum,

We so enjoyed staying at "The Cutthroat." My boys had a wonderful time fishing (they caught 52 trout between the two of them!) They really wanted to stay on a permanent basis.

Sincerely,

Dr. Teitelbaum

Thanks for everything. My son, Adam, and i had a wonderful stay at Annie's Cabin on The trout Club grounds. You and your wife seem to be both well known and respected by your friends Dave Corcoran of The River's Edge and Brad Parsch of The East Slope Angler.

Warmest regards.

Dear Mike,

I just wanted to take a minute and tell you that we had a great time at the Trout Club. It is an absolutely gorgeous area.

Rainbow cabin could not have been any finer. We had one of the best Thanksgivings that we can remember. We hope to be able to visit the cabin again.

Once again, thank you...

Dane Willis

Dear Mike & Helen,

    Our group's third trip and it just gets better.

    The fishing and accomodations are just wonderful. Every one had a great time.

    We all look forward to coming back again next season.

Dear Mike,

We arrived Friday after Lauri Drescher was leaving. She was so friendly and had helpful advice as well as having the cabin spotless. We couldn't believe our good fortune in renting your home - washer/dryer, dishwasher, garbage disposal - this is some "cabin." The river is grand and our son caught a 17" rainbow right out front.

Our journal entry is being written with the last of the sun's rays streaming through the pines into the sunroom as the river surges by. Even after a week, we are astounded at how well-equipped your home is. The kids have commented that they love the beds. We are movie illiterates but have managed to stay up almost every evening and watch something from your great collection.

It would appear that you now own a small piece of this heaven that is called Montana. We sincerely thank you for sharing it with us. It is a week that we will surely remember. We hope someday to meet you here.

Mike,

It was so nice meeting you today and being able to tell you in person what a great place you have here. I'm so thankful my daughter and son-in-law invited me as their guest. It's a trip I will never forget.

Dear Mike,

Leaving with fond memories and a sore arm. The Montana areas we visited were beautiful and the rivers equally special. It was a pleasure to come back each day and enjoy the beautiful cabin. The scenery, rivers, the cabin and especially the fishing made this one of the most enjoyable vacations we have ever spent. We are sad to leave.

Dear Mike,

The Cutthroat Cabin is such a wonderful cabin and we thoroughly enjoyed our week here. The weather was perfect too.

Dear Mike,

Can we live here?!

We had a great time and were so comfortable here.

This is a perfect place and one of our holiday highlights. Thank you so much.

Dear Mike,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! DeBose Family arrival. "What a delightful home away from home." We left Los Angeles hurried and worn, tattered and torn. We emerged six days later relaxed, reunited and rejuventated. We love everything about our stay at the Cutthroat Cabin.

We had a wonderful family reunion. Jason, age 16, loved every moment of his exclusive six days with mom and dad to himself.

We look forward to returning as soon as possible. Thanks for a memorable vacation.

Dear Dr. Teitelbaum:

     Sorry it has taken us so long to write and thank you for such a lovely stay in Annie's Cabin. It was so wonderful to get away from life's troubles and relax in such a beautiful setting.

     Joseph loved walking the short distance to the river to paint his fly on the beautiful Gallatin River. He caught several really nice fish and of course our constant companion K.D. was excited to see those fish come out of the water. All we do is catch and release so the fish were put back to catch another day.

     We arrived a little early and were happy to meet Lauri's Mom and Dad. I guess they were helping Lauri out by cleaning cabin. Really nice people and they could not say enough nice things about the good doctor.

     We went for walks in the mornings and enjoyed two deer sightings. You have a resident squirrel living in the wood pile on the porch and I stood in the kitchen for several minutes enjoying watching him chew on the wood laying there. To sit on the porch and look up at the mountain and listen to the wind whistle through the trees was so relaxing. Joe and I and K.D. sat there for hours. Joe and I played cards, that were so conveniently left there by you, and K.D. was in Heaven enjoying all the outdoor smells.

     We left the day before we were scheduled to leave after weighing our options and so I was not able to shop for a hummingbird feeder. I feed both wild birds and hummingbirds and I wanted to buy a hummingbird feeder and leave it there at Annie's Cabin for your guests to enjoy. The nectar is simply one to four ratio, one cup of sugar to four cups of water and I never put red food color in as I think it is not good for the birds. Anyway, I'm sorry we did not have time to buy and leave one. Next time we come I will bring a feeder and hang it up outside on the porch for you.

     The day before we left we were fortunate enough to meet Lauri, her husband and children. You were expecting guests in the other cabins and she was doing laundry. What a darling young women. She made sure we had everything we needed and we were happy to have met her.

Well Dr. Mike, thank you again for acquiring such a lovely piece of ground. We would love to come stay again.

Sincerely,

Joseph, Pearl and K.D. Jensen
Ogden, Utah

Dr. M:

Just a quick line or two to express my thanks for your kindness and charming hospitality shown in booking Annie's for this September. Obviously, wonderful hospitality is not just a southern thing. I sincerely thank your graciousness shown in your giving of our first wedding gift. It will be the initial entry in our album and already is so in our hearts. We are excited about our The Trout Club visit and do hope that we have the opportunity to meet you face to face. Your charm is hypnotic. Pun intended. God bless you!

Respectfully,
Billy
