The Bitterroot River
Bed and
Breakfast is located within the Town limits of Stevensville, in Montana
_s
scenic Bitterroot Valley . Our Bed and Breakfast overlooks the River and
is at
the base of the Bitterroot Mountains . We offer a tranquil country-style
setting with on-property access to the River, combined with the
convenience of
being located within a small town. The Bitterroot River B&B is
within
walking distance of main street Stevensville, which offers art

The
Bitterroot River Bed & Breakfast enjoys river front access to prime
trout fishing and other activities available along the Bitterroot. The
Bitterroot is well known as one of the finest dry fly fishing rivers in
the
state. The dry fly fishing season begins as early as March, depending on
the
weather, and usually ends in late November. There are opportunities for
fishermen who prefer wading as well as those who prefer floating and
fishing
from a raft or drift boat. Our River front access provides the wading
fisherman
with the opportunity to spend a few hours or the entire day exploring
the River
on foot. There are other excellent fishing rivers in the area including
the Big
Hole, Clark Fork and Rock Creek.
Guided fly fishing float trips are available
from several local outfitters and guides, and you can go online to buy
your
Montana Fishing License right here at the B&B. There are a variety
of other
recreational activities such as hiking in the nearby Selway-Bitterroot
wilderness area, downhill and cross-country skiing, and many other local
attractions for the family. The area is very scenic and harbors abundant
wildlife. Eagles, osprey, herons, deer, elk, and bear are a few of the
animals
that frequent the beautiful riparian habitat found along the Bitterroot
River .
Stevensville, "Where Montana Began" is Montana's oldest permanent
settlement. It was established when Fr. Pierre DeSmet founded the St.
Mary
Mission in 1841, at the request of the Salish Native American people who
were
seeking the "Black Robes" as teachers.
