About this house rental

If you’ve seen the hit show “Yellowstone,” with Kevin Costner, you have a glimpse of the beauty your family and friends are about to enjoy. Our home is north of the Montana filming site of the Dutton ranch in the beautiful Bitterroot sandwiched against dramatic Mill Creek Canyon. Bitterroot’s best views and outdoor adventures are at our Mill Creek gated 22 Acre luxury lodge. Expect rustic elegance in our luxurious private lodge overlooking fresh water swimming/fishing pond with 14,500 sf including indoor high school size gym perched on a hill with the kind of views you must see to believe, from Mill Creek Canyon just west, Sapphire Mountains to the east and Bitterroot valley in between.

Family relaxation and fun doesn't get any better than this. The fresh water spring fed pond is complete with boat dock, canoe, kayaks, and tubes. Enjoy a fun game of sand volleyball right next to the pond. Relax as you take in the expansive views from the patios, oversized hot tub and fire pit for late night big sky s’mores. The gym with NBA quality soft wood floor is set up for pickleball, full court basketball, volleyball, badminton, dodgeball, corn hole, plus aerobic and lifting equipment. The game room has pool, ping pong, foosball, game table and bar with espresso, latte, cappacino, steamers, cold brew, Keurig, traditional coffee, Blendtec smoothies, sonic ice and flavors to mix in. The high end theatre welcomes your family and friends with huge screen and high end audio system. Home automation includes music throughout home and outdoors. There is an additional TV room with surround so the kids can enjoy watching movies, sports or gaming without hearing the other group.

In the winter cut a hole through the ice in the pond for a plunge, ice skate on Lake Como, Lost Horse and Skalkaho are well known for exceptional snowmobiling, Lost Trail has some of the best powder around for skiers and snowboarders, Chief Joseph for cross country and snowshoe enthusiast. See photos.

The spacious homes’ interior mixes rustic luxury to match the incredible beauty that surrounds you. Check out the gourmet kitchen complete with everything you or your chef might need with pantry and seating for your entire group. The great room and game room are spacious with picture perfect views of the Bitterroot mountains plus theater and extra tv room. There are five bedrooms with 2 king and 3 queen size beds plus 3 more queen bunk beds in craft area. There are 4 full baths and one half bath in the house and a full bath in the gym. 2 laundry rooms.

This is the best location in the Bitterroot with its unmatched views of rugged mountain beauty but only 10-12 minute drive to downtown Hamilton with at least 12 restaurants and 3 good size grocery stores. Your group is 4 minutes to Mill Creek Trailhead, one of the most gorgeous hikes in all of Montana on beautiful Mill Creek sandwiched between towering rock walls (see photos), 8 minute drive to the famous Bitterroot River, road biking trails that go all the way to Missoula and more mountain biking trails than you’ll have time to ride for the single track enthusiast. World class fishing and rafting is all around you. Lake Como, one of the most beautiful lakes in Montana, is only a 30 minute drive. The Lake Como trail to the waterfall goes all the way around the lake with soaring mountains that appear to grow right out of the water. Missoula International Airport is approximately 45 from the home.

This is one of those rare, unique ”once in a life time” homes nestled in nature that just feels good. We love it and know you will too.

This rental was absolutely perfect in every way. The home and property are beautiful; a gorgeous setting; spotlessly clean; so many amenities that were perfect for our family of 11. We spent each morning and evening on the patio and hot tub soaking in the mountain view. Several nice hiking trails nearby and Hamilton is conveniently close. Easy drive from Missoula airport. Stephanie responds to inquiries very quickly. Would love to come back!

Stephanie & Ryan did a fantastic job from start to finish making sure all questions and accomodations were met/exceeded. Their beautiful, and well kept house, was a perfect getaway for our large family.

The Lodge at Mill Creek is spectacular! The house was super clean and beautifully furnished. We stayed 8 nights for a family gathering and were completely amazed by the amenities offered. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking and fishing in the pond; playing all kinds of games in the gym and house; the hot tub; fire pit and just lounging on the lovely patois with terrific views! The house was really well stocked with supplies. Stephanie and Ryan were exceptionally responsive to any questions or needs. Can’t say enough good things about this property! Highly recommend!

We stayed at the Lodge at Mill Creek for an incredible 7 days over the 4th of July week. Our group consisted of four couples from Georgia and Florida, all in our early 60s and great friends. The home was exactly as advertised but even better. The main level features two bedrooms, each with its own full bath, while downstairs, there are two more bedrooms that share a full bath. There are also bunk beds downstairs, though we did not use them. The kitchen is amazing, with two large islands and everything you need. The large pantry off the kitchen was fantastic. We cooked dinner in for three nights, using the Traeger grill, which was fantastic. We also cooked breakfast in several mornings. There was a nice area to set up a bar. We purchased some martini glasses and a shaker during our trip and left them for other guests to use in the future. The Lodge has a beautiful pool table and media room as advertised. There is also a coffee bar area outside the kitchen, which was very nice and convenient. While the kitchen was amazing and I would rate it a "10," our favorite area was the porch. It is a "10+." We enjoyed morning coffee while taking in the beautiful views. Wild turkeys, quail, and several deer roamed the property. In the evenings, we enjoyed cocktails on the porch and played gin. It was truly spectacular. Lastly, the hot tub and gym were amazing. We highly recommend the Lodge at Mill Creek for a memorable vacation experience.

At first this property may seem pricey, but it’s worth every penny. The view from the porches are magnificent and we saw deer, turkeys, a black bear and a moose crossing in the backyard. We had children from age 1 to 9 and the gym provided hours of entertainment. Even the adults had a 5 on 5 basketball game. This is a first class gym. The house itself is fully stocked and comfortable with a media room and plenty of games available. Hamilton is a lovely town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Some of our group went horseback riding, white water rafting, riverboarding, swimming in the pond. Can’t say enough about the property and location, worth every penny!

Not only was the house simply breathtaking both inside and out, the customer service from Steph and Ryan were top notch. Any question we asked was immediately answered with a detailed and informative response. For example, we asked about hiking trails and we quickly received a long and detailed message about our local options. We also left an item and the owner offered to mail it to us at no charge. The full-sized gym was awesome. There are shoes provided for every possible size. You can play basketball, pickleball, badmitton and so much more. They even had snowshoes available for guest use. The views from the porches and large pictures windows from both sides of the house and hot tub/firepit are absolutely incredible. The theatre room had a huge screen and incredible sound and was the perfect place to watch the Super Bowl and a movie. Speakers were built in throughout the house and there were separate SONOS units for a quick listen as well. The pool table and ping-pong topper as well as the Foosball table provided hours of entertainment. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. We had serving platters for a charcutterie board, a griddle for pancakes and a nice stand mixer for making a cheesecake. There were two stoves, and one had a great warming setting which we used often. I highly suggest renting this amazing home for any large family or group. It was a memorable experience and we hope to return again.
