Historical guest quarters on Rock Creek | Cabin in Clinton
1 Bedroom Cabin in Drummond, Clinton
During it's heyday this property, formerly known as The Valley of the Moon Ranch, originally belonged to William McDowell, the Lt. Governor of Montana from 1913 - 1921. Some noted visitors to the property were Theodore Roosevelt, cowboy author Louie L'Amour, and artist Charlie Russell. It is one of two historical Rock Creek properties offered by Trout Bums for rent, and one of the few buildings from that historic era that remains standing.
The Valley of the Moon property was later purchased by Bob and Maridell Bandy; the Bandy's daughter Bonnie Gilbert now owns the property where horses once again roam the 43 acres of lush green fields that remain of the original 1800 acre ranch. The balance of the property was sold to the USFS in the early 1970's leaving the remaining 43 acres fully surrounded by public access property. Rock Creek flows through the Southeast corner of the property. The 'Governor's Hole', a favorite fishing spot around the 3 mile marker of Rock Creek is named after this home, which can be seen across the creek.
Many artifacts remain on the property from its days as a working ranch, including old tractors, plows, sheepherders wagon, buggy house and other outbuildings. The octagon well house, which covers the original hand dug 20 ft deep brick lined well, is still there. Though the water quality is excellent from the hand pump that still works, the hand dug well is no longer used. A deeper, modern well, provides water for the property.
In addition to the old well house, the ice house (an old log structure) still stands on the south of the home and is a wonderful reminder of days gone by. The interior walls of the ice house were lined with boards that provided a layer of sawdust as insulation to keep the huge chunks of ice collected from the creek in the winter frozen in the summer, and ta-da, refrigeration!
Unfortunately, many years have passed and the Valley of the Moon home has been robbed of some of the former splendor, but renovation continues to unfold the beauty that once was there. The renovated guest quarters is a beautiful, fully equipped retreat for you to enjoy! The Bandy/Gilbert family (owners of this unique property) hope you will join in their excitement as they continue the workof restoring their Valley of the Moon Homestead to what it once was.
The 650 sq ft 'guest quarters' with private entrance adjoins the main portion of the home and the two units share the porch, grill and laundry room.
