Hi! We are Shane, Jess, little Owen, pup Samara and kitties Tarra and Digi. Together we own, enjoy and run ‘The Quimby Cabin.’ Shane has been busy remodeling, restoring and hosting guests in this cabin for the last 6 years, Owen has been giving directions (and taking naps) since 2016 and this is Jess’ fourth season with the rental. We are all so excited to welcome you in!
Shane is from a small farm town in Illinois, however Montana was always on his mind. After life and work took him from Illinois, to a home within Yellowstone National Park and then to Minnesota, he made his way out to Gardiner to reside full time in 2012. In addition to the rental, Shane runs a woodworking business, Badger Creek Rustic Furniture, which has created not only most of the furniture in this home, but in homes and businesses around town.
Owen is Shane’s main man who will be celebrating his fifth birthday this summer. When he’s home, he helps out by providing smiles and giggles and has a real passion for chasing our dog and driving his dump trucks around the yard.
Jess hails from the great state of Minnesota and has known Shane for 10 years now. In the summer of 2018 it made sense for her to make the move. She loves solo traveling, arts and crafts, baking, photography and most certainly, cats. Since quitting her desk job, she has lived in New Zealand, photographed dairy cows in Portugal, cooked for a family in France and served pizza and beer at a top restaurants in Minneapolis. Sitting still is not her forte, so she’s funneling that crazy energy into projects at home and around Gardiner, including adventure photography sessions through her business Chocolate Moose Images.
