The Bitterroot Valley is one of Montana's most popular destinations for both tourists and families looking for a peaceful place to live and visit. From the rolling peaks of the Sapphire Mountains to the East and the rough rocky edges of the Bitterroot Mountains to the West. In between is a valley comprised of six small towns, small farmsteads and ranches, and a world-famous river.
The Bitterroot Valley is a vibrant scene of modern-day cultural events, western heritage, and Native American history. Summer weekends are jammed with things to do, from rodeos, fairs, and small-town parades to Scottish Games and the Renaissance Fair. There are interpretive Moon Walks and birding trips, music festivals and wildlife lectures, children's field days and dancing. Hamilton's Farmers Market always makes for a lively Saturday morning. On the first Friday evening of the month, stroll through Stevensville's popular First Friday. The Ravalli County Museum and Historic St. Mary's Mission and Museum are treasure troves of history, excellent exhibits, and accompanying events. Hamilton's grand Performing Arts Center offers a spectacular range of evening engagements. Our two charming thespian theaters' Hamilton Players Inc. and Stevensville Playhouse's play to full houses.
”Fantastic place on the Bitteroot! This is the 2nd time we have rented this cottage and are ready to make reservations to return next year. Perfect location, with the river in your backyard. Wonderful little house, immaculately clean. Would highly recommend !”
