Because tourism is one of our major industries, we often are asked the question of “What’s a good place to stay?” Here are some great little spots that offer something different than the typical franchise hotel room.
Bigfork Area and Nearby:
- The luxury cottages on the banks of the Swan River in Bigfork exude charm and character . Bridge Street Cottages (406-837-2785) are one block off of downtown Bigfork. Walk just a minute north to restaurants and the summer theater in the village of Bigfork.
- Bigfork’s B & B is close by at the Candlewycke Inn (406-837-6406), open all year round, secluded on 10 acres and only minutes away from Bigfork. Country, folk-art theme rooms create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
