Food Scene

LaHood is the premier steakhouse in the area. Only 10 minutes down the road overlooking the Jefferson River. Closest place for Prime Rib and Seafood. Great food in a casual setting! And hands down best margarita around!

The place where we all go to get a fresh cut steak or hand pattied fresh angus burger to die for. Most folks new to town just follow their nose and end up here. It should also be noted they have amazing service and the friendly bartenders know how to make a good drink or pour a pint of a great Montana microbrew. It’s also less than a block from your apartment if you stay with us. Open every day except Monday from 11am to 10pm. In the summer they have music on the patio most weekends. Family friendly.

Sightseeing

A unique outcropping of volcanic basalt, one of only a handful in the world, where you can show up with a hammer and tap out a tune on the rocks. Hence the name “Ringing Rocks.” This one is off the beaten path and only accessible in the summer due to unimproved dirt roads. And you will have to get directions and probably a hand drawn map from us or from a local because there are no signs and your gps app will only get you lost. All disclaimers aside, this is worth the trek.

The short drive to this historic ghost town will not disappoint. A gold rush town that sprang up overnight in late 1800’s still conveys the grit and splendor of its time. From Boot Hill to old frontier cabins to gorgeous victorian brick homes, you can see it all here. The old hotel and a couple of the old saloons are still in operation. And in the summer they have a hilarious period accurate vaudeville show best suited for adults. A great time!

Nowhere else can you see a new release for $5. And even when you add popcorn and a soda you are still in front of the big screen for a ten spot. The community rallied to save this historic theatre a few years ago and raised over $10,000 to help the owners buy the digital projector they needed when hollywood decided to no longer offer new movies on reel to reel. Since then they have added new seats, installed new sound, remodeled the lobby, and are working on restoring the marquee.
