We are located 45 miles south of Missoula, Montana in the Bitterroot Valley. We have 150 acres at the end of a dirt road adjacent to the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, the largest wilderness in the 48 states below Canada. We have 5 blue ribbon trout streams within a short drive from the lodge and there are more than 30 trails for hiking and horseback riding in the Bitterroot Valley. Also within a short drive is a buffalo range, wildlife refuge, Lewis and Clark Trail, and various historical sites. Golf and tennis is available locally.
This exquisite lodge was constructed in 1991 with massive logs harvested from the 1988 Yellowstone fire. The property is heavily timbered and is bordered by our own Bear Creek to the south and the Bitterroot Forest to the west. It is so quiet here it is easy to forget that there are other people sharing this world.
