The property was clean, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and had a pretty river view. Dinner could have been better for the price and they were operating on a limited staff due to being off season (cleaning room). No perks for being a Platinum Expedia member. The property is a great option for the area.

Excellent place to stay !! The rooms are great, breakfast was very good each day. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable of the area and very friendly. The dinner service is excellent and the chef creates incredible dishes from scratch. We took our son for his 21st. birthday and he loved it. He said it was the best meal he ever had. The bar is well stocked and the wine list is extensive with great wines. The wine list has a very wide price range and Juan will help you choose an excellent bottle to go with your meal. If you are fly fishing the Galatan river or going to visit Yellowstone from the west yoou should stay here.

A truly wonderful property on the Gallatin River. The staff were very friendly. Moved us to a riverside room at no extra charge for our two nights. Bartender was great. Dinner was excellent. And they have amazing wine list. The place offers the Montana Big Sky feel. Would definitely return.
