Montana's Rock Creek is a 52 mile long blue ribbon trout stream that parallels the Sapphire Mountains in Southwestern Montana. The terrain ranges from gentle to rugged. If you come you will see snow peaked mountains, vast wilderness, sheer granite cliffs, canyons and most importantly Rock Creek has very cold trout water that house rainbow, cutthroat, brown, white and bull trout. It is a fisherman's paradise. Hunters also come to hunt big game in the fall. My most famous guest was Jim Lovell of Apollo 13 fame. He came hunting in 2013. He liked my cabin and said it beat the moon!
We recently added a 12x12 sitting room with a wood stove and made our our porch into an all season porch. My guest love it.
Rock Creek has been a ranching, mining, and logging community for over 100 years. Gem Mountain is a world famous sapphire mine that is just 5 miles up the road from the cabin. You can try your luck at mining your own sapphires. In the 1800s many Indian tribes and mountain men had their rendezvous right in our canyon. If you are lucky you can still find Indian arrow heads.

The large covered porch is great to just sit and listen to Rock Creek or to view the wildlife.

There is a large propane grill outside to cook with.
