Recipes & Adventures

Whether you are into wildlife photography or wilderness medicine - or just lounging by the river and watching the eagles fish - we have the experience for you. Troy, Montana has such a huge variety of terrain and scenery that there is little chance you will check all of your bucket list items off, but that is what return trips are for!

A wildlife photographer's dream...

Hit the trails...

We have such a variety of wildlife here that even the most amateur photographer will come home with great shots. With such an abundance of natural landscape, the wildlife is not hard to find surrounding our private bed and breakfast in Troy, Montana. Ease down a trail and keep and eye open for sign (tracks) and scat (poop) and you are sure to come across a good opportunity.

We stock local books that you are welcome to use during your stay at our private bed and breakfast - including interesting plant books, hiking guides, and local lore.

Best lakes to paddleboard? We have you covered! Grab your gear and head up to Alvoord or Kilbrennan Lake and you'll likely be the only people there! Or head down to Bull Lake and paddle to your hearts' content across its huge glassy surface. Don't forget to stop off at the Halfway House Bar and Grill for a snack!

Want to trail ride? Let us connect you with a local ranch! If you are a hunter or angler, we are also happy to help connect you to local resources to plan that portion of your trip. If you have elk fever, we know just the guide to help you bring home a big bull.

Drive up into the Yaak about 20 miles and experience an inland Northwest rainforest terrain. This gorgeous area is remote and cell phone signal free. Stop off at the Yaak Mercantile and stay for a burger. (Don't forget to take a selfie in front of the Dirty Shame Saloon).

Let's get physical!

Depending on the time of year, guests can try their hand at rock climbing, skiing (downhill and cross country), snowmobiling, and pretty much any type of watersport you can imagine. Oh, and let's not forget snow shoeing. So grab your gear and get outside to enjoy the amazing outdoor opportunities!

There's no time like SNOW time!
