Guide

How to choose between a large vacation home, a cabin, and an RV resort stay

The same trip can be booked three ways, and they are not equivalent.

The honest trade-offs

A large home keeps a group together and handles cooking and weather well. A cabin trades space for setting and usually costs less. An RV site trades comfort for flexibility and self-sufficiency.

Trailstead currently operates large vacation homes. Cabins and RV stays are part of the broader plan, and we will list them here only when real, bookable inventory exists.

The Evergreen

Room to reconnect. Montana to explore.

6 bedrooms · 10 beds · 3.5 baths · 4.97 (39)

A six-bedroom Montana home for groups that want one roof instead of several. A private hot tub and barrel sauna outside, a speakeasy and game room inside, and Flathead Lake a short drive away with Glacier Country under an hour on.

  • Fall and winter gatherings

Six bedrooms and ten beds. Montana rules govern how overnight occupancy is advertised, so we publish a maximum of ten — the same number shown on the home's own site. Travelling with more? Ask on the booking page before you book.

Scottsdale, Arizona

The Sunkiss

Serve. Swim. Stay awhile.
