I fulfilled a childhood dream when we moved to Montana last May. Another dream was reached when we
opened Fish Creek House, a bed and breakfast just outside of Whitehall. When I was young I always told my parents I wanted to live in Montana, but since I was living in New York and later California, I didn’t know how that would quite happen.
My husband, a partner in a computer business and gunsmith, and I, a bi-athlete, came to Bohart Ranch near Bozeman to compete in the running and shooting competition and fell in love with the area. The search was on for property in Montana. Dan was returning to his roots. He lived in Malta until he was five.
We found a beautiful log home located on forty acres with gorgeous views of the mountains and a stone’s throw from Fish Creek. Located just 15 miles from Whitehall Mt, nestled in theTobacco Root Mountains, the Inn offers rustic charm with all the modern conveniences.The house was purchased and a large renovation started. We’d drive up from California every month to see how the progress was going.
During one of our trips, we took a hike down to the creek and when I looked up at the log home nestled in the hills, the name Fish Creek House seemed to fit. With the renovation complete and the licenses involved with a bed and
breakfast approved, Fish Creek House officially opened for business.
We enjoy sharing our home with guests, and especially to those with horses.. A new barn and round pen have been built for our horses, and although we don’t offer trail rides, guests are welcome to bring their own horses and board them in the new facilities. Other activitiies include hiking, antiquing, exploring nearby ghost towns.
Virtually outside the door is the Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest, great for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and
cross-country skiing. We want to accommodate people who love nature. We’ll make you feel like part of the family while you’re here. One of our specialties is shooting, and we plan to host shooting clinics for enthusiasts.
Another specialty of Fish Creek House is the food. We offer a gourmet breakfast for guests. In our personal
greenhouse we grow the organic vegetables on site.
The inn offers two guests suites, each with a private bath, a large living room with a stone fireplace, a library and a sitting room, complete with a microwave and a fridge. Fish Creek House is also a place where the active businessperson can stay in touch. They offer wireless internet in each of the rooms and are considered a “wifi
hotspot.” Our rooms are furnished with custom made Montana pieces.
