About this property

Elk Suite at Rocky Mountain Front - comfortable adventure - Harmony in paradise

The Elk Suite at the Rocky Mountain Front Retreat is located 23 miles NW of Choteau, at close to 5,000 feet above sea level, on a 20 acre section of the historic Moore homestead established in 1919. If you are looking to experience the 'last best place' on the Crown of the Continent, where the rugged Rocky Mountains meet the expansive Great Plains, this is it.

Many outdoor activities are at your door step, such as hiking, photography, running or biking. Also, there are over 1,000 miles of wilderness trails close by in the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Plus, there are fishing, hunting and skiing opportunities in season.

There are very few places to stay located on the Rocky Mountain Front. It is sparsely populated with plenty of wildlife viewing, including: mule and white tail deer, elk, many varieties of birds, grizzly and black bears, chipmunks, rabbits and squirrels.

For those times you prefer to be cozy and stay indoors, the interior is comfortable and inviting, with quality furniture, and fully-equipped kitchen. The area is very quiet if you are looking for some writing or other creative time.

The Elk Suite has high speed internet and flat screen TV for streaming from the internet, together with DVD player for watching movies.

High speed WiFi is available.

• The Rocky Mountain Front Retreat offers two suites: The Elk Suite and the Grizzly Suite.
• The Elk Suite (this site) can accommodate up to 6 guests.
• If you are interested in the one bedroom Grizzly Suite that can accommodate up to 5 guests, please see: VRBO 822351
• If you would prefer both the Grizzly Suite and Elk Suite, which can accommodate up to 11 guests together, please see: VRBO 3628800ha

The two suites are private and fully separated from each, joined only by a large common entry area containing the laundry and some reading/games materials.

The Retreat is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountain Front on the edge of wilderness, yet not too far from town. It truly is part of the Crown of the Continent.

There are external security cameras at the entry doors and on the wall in the back of the building.

The comforts of home with Breathtaking views

Laura & Aki were incredibly helpful and welcoming! The suite was FULLY stocked better than any other place I’ve stayed. They hosts have thought of every detail from the kitchen appliances to games for kids to patio chairs to enjoy the incredible views. It’s a secluded gem not far from hiking trails, small towns and Glacier. We really enjoyed our stay and will come again on our next Glacier visit!

Very comfortable, cozy place to relax and enjoy the Rocky Mountain Front.

The property is very clean and comfortable place to relax and enjoy the Rocky Mountain Front. Great hiking options right out the back door. We hiked and fished all day and enjoyed movies, puzzles, and good books in the evenings. My husband was concerned that we were in a duplex, but we were blessed with wonderful quiet neighbors for two evenings. Property has a BBQ, TV, land line phone, and a well supplied kitchen.

Can’t say enough great things about this property!

My husband and I planned a last minute trip to Montana to spend a few days with our daughter in Glacier and surrounding area. Although we left each morning and returned for showers and a good nights sleep - Elk could definitely be a destination in itself. It was so clean (and I’m picky) and comfortable. We weren’t cooking but it is stocked with everything imaginable! We stopped in Choteau visitors center and picked up great maps of the trail system nearby and the Wilderness area down the road was gorgeous. The drive to Glacier ( st Mary’s entrance took about two hours with gas stop and some construction delay but it was a beautiful drive). We have a VERY long list of things we wished we had time for - loved being away from the crowds. Absolutely plan to return!! We did have some confusion finding the right drive because our GPS took us “around” the back way and the drive we needed to use had several standing water issues that thank goodness weren’t any deeper as we were in a small rental car! But once we knew where to go - it was easy in and out even with the water. Thank you for a beautiful stay!

Perfect!

We had an amazing stay at the Elk Suite. We stayed three nights over our 29th anniversary and had a wonderful visit. This place is the perfect place to stay to explore the Rocky Mtn Front and all the spectacular views. We had such a good time we wished we had stayed a week and are already planning a future visit. The location is gorgeous, we just can't get enough of the landscape on the Front. We loved spending time sitting overlooking the mountains and spotting for animals in the nearby fields. The place was peaceful, private and quiet. The house could not have been more comfortable and spotlessly clean, what a treat to enjoy on our vacation. The suite had everything we needed to make delicious meals and sleep well on incredibly comfortable beds. It enabled the two of us to completely relax away from our harried life at home. The interior is cozy and provides lovely spaces to relax and enjoy the view from the wall of windows in the living room/kitchen area. The suite is super bright and the sunsets are unbelievable. Truly a fantastic rental that we look forward to frequenting more in the future. This rental is perfect! Thank you for renting your home to us!

Very nice lodging in a great part of Montana

This is a nice two-bedroom cabin, with good kitchen facilities and a cozy living room for visiting and enjoying the mountain scenery. The property is scenic in its own right, and the location along Montana's Rocky Mountain Front offers (with a few mile drive to the west) great opportunities for hiking and exploring America's public lands in this dramatic landscape and its very important wildlife habitat. And, if you take the opportunity to enjoy this fine lodging in this exceptional area, please also consider supporting Montana organizations working to make sure these lands are conserved for all Americans to continue to enjoy in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Aki and Laura Lintunen

Host profile image
We built on the 'old homestead' over 30 years ago, with a major addition and total renovations completed in 2012, to create the Rocky Mountain Front Retreat. Family members have been spending time there, in all seasons, for many decades.

Why they chose this property

The property has been in the family for 5 generations; however, the Rocky Mountain Front Retreat is a modern and comfortable place in the 'last best place' on the Rocky Mountain Front which is part of the Crown of the Continent.

We are now excited to share the experience with discerning travelers who are looking for something unique.

What makes this property unique

There are very few places to stay located on the Rocky Mountain Front. It is sparsely populated with plenty of wildlife viewing, including mule and white tail deer, elk, many varieties of birds, black and grizzly bear, chipmunks, rabbits and squirrels.

The Rocky Mountain Front Retreat is nestled between the Lewis and Clark National Forest and Bob Marshall Wilderness to the west and the Pine Butte Preserve and the Great Plains to the east.
