Fishtail, Montana
Fishing And Bird Watching On Fishtail Creek
Located at the foot of the Beartooth Mountains, this ranch house can sleep 8. The home is very comfortable with 2 bedrooms upstairs, 2 bedrooms on the main floor and 2 baths. There is a large sunny kitchen, dining room that seats 8, and living room with original rock fireplace and oak floor. The deck is accessed off the living room and overlooks Fishtail Creek.
There are many outdoor activities at the ranch, such as fishing, hiking, bird watching, photography, sightseeing, and a picnic area for roasting hot dogs and making ‘smores!
Along Fishtail Creek and in the abundant tree cover at the house, many species of birds find shelter and visit our bird feeders frequently. The owners have a love of all the feathered friends on the ranch and have observed Pinyon Jays, Clark's Nutcrackers, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, House Wrens, Gray-Crowned Rosy Finches and an occasional Black Rosy Finch, Common Redpolls, Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks, Pine Siskins, White and Red Breasted Nuthatches, American Goldfinches, and so many more.
The Stillwater and Rosebud Rivers offer world class fly fishing and are only 15-20 minutes away. Woodbine Falls and the trail to Sioux Charlie Lake are a short scenic drive up the Stillwater Valley. The Stillwater River also offers opportunities for rafting and kayaking. We can help you arrange for a day of horse-back riding or an overnight trip into the mountains.
If you wish to take a trip into Yellowstone National Park, the drive from Fishtail to Red Lodge and over the Beartooth Highway into Yellowstone Park will be a highlight of your trip. The 90 mile drive will take you to the Northeast Entrance at Cooke City. You'll need to allow at least 3 hours travel time into Cooke City because of the numerous switch backs that take you up and over the mountains.
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall - every season is beautiful in the Beartooths!
What a gem! Clean, vary spacious, had nice cookware (everything you need), plenty of plates, flatware glasses, etc. Rosebud Creek thru the property was added bonus. Also plenty of resource books on the area and family history. Closest store and restaurant three miles away. Other restaurants were within 10 - 30 miles, but enjoyed cooking on the grill and stargazing even in December.
We enjoyed our stay.. My son was getting married to a beautiful bride in Nye not far away from this property. This house is very comfy, clean, and cozy. I had a chance to walk around the area. The sound of the running creek nearby was relaxing. The garden that was growing was florishing with flowers and vegetables. I would highly recommend staying here again. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication in keeping up this wonderful house.
Our stay at this property was great. The house was clean and fully stocked and communication with our hosts was easy. The scenery was beautiful surrounding the property and there is plenty to do in the area. We highly recommend staying here and hope to come back in the future.
Great place
Beautiful area and home. Convenient to our family. Owners were super nice. House had all of the amenities.
This property was exactly what we were looking for. We had a 3 week stay and enjoyed every minute of it. The family was so accommodating and wonderful through the whole time. We will definitely return for more adventures. What a wonderful time!
Amazing home on a beutiful piece of property
More then expected. Hearing the creek when going outside, and especially watching the deer coming every morning. Thank you for sharing your lovely vacation home.
This was a great property, very clean and comfortable. Property owners were very nice and easy to work. The house had everything we needed home away from away!
The cleanest and the best stocked I have ever stayed at. Everything there is in great shape and it felt like home. The AC was a bonus. Fishing on the creek was nice as well. The driveway also serves as access to the farm and was well used throughout the week. I I felt prevledged to be able to stay there.
