This Montana Restaurant Used To Be A Stagecoach Stop, And You Won’t Want To Leave
We’ve certainly got our share of unique restaurants here in Montana — just visit the Jersey Lilly or the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar and you’ll see what we mean. But for a truly one-of-a-kind experience, check out Ekstrom’s Stage Station in Clinton.
This charming eatery was once a stagecoach stop. And while it’s a seasonal business, meaning they take winters off, we’re giving them a shout-out now to make sure every possible Montanan adds this experience to their 2019 calendars.
The property is actually a collection of reconstructed western Montana homesteader cabins and frontier buildings moved log by log from their original location up and down the Clark Fork Valley.
Its original location was 15 miles east of Rock Creek, where it was used as a stage stop.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served 7 days a week during their peak season, and the food is all fantastic.
From the hearty chicken and dumplings to the Stage Driver's Steak, the dinner menu never disappoints.
Ekstrom Stage Station has a full campground with RV and tent spaces. You can also rent one of the cozy cabins that also happen to be renovated historic buildings.
They open again next spring, so leave room on your calendar for a visit.
