About this property

Ponderosa Cabin at Rye Creek Lodge

Experience renowned hospitality and the captivating splendor of one of Montana’s best lodges set near the vertex of the awe-inspiring Bitterroot and Sapphire Range's of the Rocky Mountains. It's no surprise that Ponderosa Cabin is one of our guest's favorite. Offering distinctive decor and an opulent, cozy interior from which guests can set out each day to explore Montana. Located near our pond that supports 12 inch and better Rainbow Trout and at the trailhead of our "on ranch" hiking trail, you'll not be at a loss for things to do. The floor plan offers two bedrooms, a complete kitchen, a massive natural stone fireplace and a private outdoor hot tub that you can step into right from the back porch.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Nelson

Host profile image
I am interested in the history of the Bitterroot Valley, particularly the Lewis and Clark Trail as well as the Trail of the Nez Perce.

Why they chose this property

Rye Creek is a very private, quiet property. You will feel as if you are staying in a log cabin in the middle of the wilderness though we are only a mile off of a paved road. Ponderosa Cabin is exceptionally well appointed. You are not roughing it here....

What makes this property unique

In a word, Wildlife. We have resident herds of elk and deer that call Rye Creek home. All of the activities that you would expect to find in Montana are available. White water rafting, fishing, hiking, ATV rides, Snowmobile rides, etc.
