Rustic Log Cabin Rental at a Riverside Resort on the Big Hole River, Montana
Built in the 1930s, this rustic log cabin rental is located at a riverside resort on the Big Hole River, Montana, and can provide four guests with an all-inclusive getaway experience centered around fly fishing on some of the most rewarding rivers for catching trout in all of the West. Alternatively, the cabin can be rented on a nightly basis as a standalone accommodation. The cabin is situated on the bank of a spring-fed creek that feeds into the Big Hole River, which is just 100 feet away.
Inside the cabin, guests will find two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a living room, a dining area, a kitchen, and a screened porch. Each bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed. In each bathroom, guests will find a toilet, a sink, and a shower. Linens and towels are provided.
The dining area can seat five guests at a long wooden table surrounded by wooden floors, walls, and ceilings with exposed beams, creating a rustic, cozy atmosphere in which to enjoy each other's company. The fully-equipped kitchen comes with an oven, a stove, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffeemaker.
Set about a mile up the river from the resort's main lodge, the cabin provides guests with plenty of privacy and a sense of remoteness. Guests should note that unless they are part of a larger group staying at the main lodge, they will need to rent a car (or bring their own) for transportation.
At the main lodge of the resort, guests will also enjoy shared access to a great room with a lounge area and a dining room with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views of the Big Hole River. Here, if they have opted for the all-inclusive rental option, guests will enjoy a hearty, healthy breakfast and dinner prepared by a professional chef. Lunch will be served on-location at guests' fishing destinations.
The all-inclusive rental option for this cabin includes five days of guided angling, replete with all necessary tackle and equipment, all meals and beverages, an experienced guide, and transportation to and from Bert Mooney Airport in Butte, Montana. Guided horseback riding, hiking, and nature tours are available from the resort as well, and guests can pursue a variety of self-guided adventures in the surrounding Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
Guests should inquire with the hosts in relation to booking guides, which are necessary to confirm bookings at most times of the year.

Wise River, Montana
Detailed location provided after booking
Scenic views
Originating in the Pintlars, Pioneer, and Bitterroot Mountains, the river runs unimpeded for 125 miles, winding through alpine meadows, canyon walls, and cottonwood bottoms as it makes its journey toward its confluence with the Beaverhead River, which, together, form the Jefferson River. Along the way, the river passes through a wide range of fishing conditions, including pocket waters, riffles, pools, shallow water edges, and deep runs with undercut banks.
Within a two-hour radius of the resort, guests can visit a variety of other rivers with areas of blue ribbon fishing waters, including the Beaverhead River, the Wise River, Rock Creek, the Jefferson River, the Missouri River, the Ruby River, the Red Rock River, the Madison River, and the Yellowstone River, all of which are possible fishing destinations that guests can visit with the resort's guides.
However, there is more to the area than the world-class fishing rivers for which it is renowned. To the north and the south, guests will find sections of Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, which encompasses three million acres of rugged mountains, sagebrush, and grass-covered rangeland, and forests filled with ponderosa pines, firs, spruces, and junipers, which are laced with 1,500 miles of hiking trails and 250 miles of groomed snowmobile trails. This vast national forest—the largest in all of Montana—is home to grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, Canadian lynxes, mule deer, elk, pronghorns, and bighorn sheep.
The resort is about 36 minutes from Butte, where guests will find Bert Mooney Airport, and two hours from Bozeman, where the nearest international airport is located.
