Bitterroot’s Best Views & Outdoor Adventures at Mill Creek 22 Acre Luxury Lodge
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.

Disclosures... 6th bathroom is in gym. Gym floor is highest quality wood floors that scratch easily so we ask that users of gym wear the new or like new shoes we provide in every size. When shoes that have been worn outdoors are used, the soft wood floor scratches easily from tiny pebbles or black marks from non court shoes mark up floors. The rope swing is not usable as it is high above the pond, goes over a shallow area and has resulted in injuries. The rope swing not over the pond behind garage is use at your own risk.
