Montana Anniversary Vacation

[Flatlander3]

For all of those familiar with Montana resorts/hotels/lodges, my wife and I wand to spend a couple days in the mountains camping and a couple at a nicer resort/hotel/lodge in central Montana. We are trying to stay away from western, and Glacier area to eliminate some driving.

What we'd like is nicer place, with outdoor hotub (outdoor private ideal), and or pool. Near/surrounded by mountains. Maybe a restaurant/bar on site or some nicer restaurants nearby either short drive or walk. Maybe some shops to spend some time checking out, etc.

Does anything come to mind for you guys?

How nice of a resort? Paws Up and Triple Creek are nice. mtmuley

Fairmont or Chico hot spring

Chico Hot Springs in Paradise Valley, not far from Gardiner. Great place to relax; outstanding food. You won't regret it. Close to Yellowstone, lots of wildlife, camping nearby ... bring your bear spray!

Another vote for Chico. Get the red caboose if you can.

At Chico you might even run into StarMan, Jeff Bridges, or Dennis Quaid might show up with his band to entertain the locals at the saloon.

Shout out to white sulphur spring! Edith motel I think gets you entry to the hot spring, if it doesn’t I think it’s $10-12

Thinking less than $500-600 a night for 2-3 nights. Appreciate the responses so far, keep them coming even of they have already been mentioned!

Why just stay at one? Could do Chico one night fairmont one and then bounce into white sulphur see a lot of the state at a very nice time of year

Whether you're hiking, fishing, or just exploring, having some basic safety knowledge and tools can make a big difference. Something I found helpful was checking out travel tips for outdoor adventures—it's always good to know what the local wildlife is like and how to stay safe, especially in remote areas.
