Stage Stop Inn

I've stayed here, in a corner suite with a jetted tub and couch, and luxuriated in the quiet and the view of the Forest Service horses across the road. Up the highway is access to hiking and skiing in the Rocky Mountains. Farther still is the town of Bynum, where you find evidence that dinosaurs were here. And then, fabulous Glacier National Park. It all starts in Choteau, and the Stage Stop Inn puts you up in Montana-friendly casual style.

Pros: Indoor pool, rooms with jetted tubs

Cons: None
