We truly enjoyed our stay at Chris & Donna’s property on the Stillwater. A beautiful apartment with all the amenities… 360 degrees breathtaking views ON the Stillwater River with welcoming host/hostess. Only wish I could have landed a few more trouts :) but it was fun just to be throwing flies surrounded by this gorgeous scenery.

This property exceeded our expectations! It is beautiful and the cabin sits on a large parcel of land that is well maintained on the Stillwater River. The hosts were fantastic. The river is beautiful and you can hear the rushing water from the outside of the cabin. We saw deer and geese and walked along side the river from the property. The area also is within 30-45 minutes from breathtaking and private hikes to secluded mountain lakes and streams. We will certainly be back to stay in the future!

Stunning scenery & perfect cabin

This was our first trip to Montana, but this has to be one of the most beautiful places in the state. The scenery from the cabin alone far exceeded our expectations. The cabin is perfectly well-appointed with everything you need. The hosts are great and super helpful if you need anything. Highly recommend.

Far more than we expected!

Fishtail was a beautiful place and this rental was the perfect fit. Scenic views in every direction, weather was perfect, people were friendly, and the trout were biting. Close drive to Mystic Lake which is another must see. This is the perfect getaway for solitude, outdoors, scenery, and fishing. We loved every minute!

Dreamy garden apartment in an unforgettable location.

I stayed here for a week in June. I did not want to leave. The apartment faces down the property line to the Stillwater River and you have full access to the yard and river. Go fish. Inside, it is immaculate and well decorated and the kitchen is well stocked with quality cooking gear. The bedroom is amazing as you can look out toward the river while enjoying a cool breeze and reading in bed. I did not want to leave. If you stay here, you MUST go hike up to Sioux Charley Lake and check the local establishments. You are off the main tack here, and its wonderfully beautiful and quiet. Also, do not use RTE 419 to get there. Take RTE 420. Its a maintained dirt road that follows the Stillwater along a gorgeous valley.
