As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

From treehouses to tepees, we’ve certainly got our share of creative accommodations here in Montana. But when it comes to one-of-a-kind experiences, nothing tops our beautiful hobbit house, otherwise known as The Shire of Montana. If you were ever a Lord of the Rings fan (or you just enjoy unique experiences), you owe it to yourself to stay here.

The Shire of Montana is located in Trout Creek, in a quiet and remote valley.
VRBO
This is a fully private guesthouse, so you won't have to share the space.
Inside you'll find a cozy living room, a full-sized kitchen, a full bathroom, a large bedroom with a king bed, and a tiny guest room.
Vrbo
Despite the playful nature of the place, the owners have politely requested that only adults (or children over 12) enjoy the space as nothing here is kid proof.
But as comfortable as the interior of this hobbit house in Montana is, you'll want to spend plenty of time outside.

You can cook your dinner on the grill, then enjoy it on the outdoor deck.
The outdoor space has been perfectly designed to simulate an enchanted forest.

Unique Accommodations In Montana

Melissa M. | October 03, 2022

What are some of the most unique accommodations you can find in Montana?

With individuals able to create and post a rental on a website like VRBO, you can certainly find plenty of one-of-a-kind places to spend the night. Located in Whitefish, you can stay at a Montana-themed VRBO that’s both large and comfortable with all the amenities you could want. Furthermore, there are four bedrooms and it can accommodate up to nine guests. Family reunion, anyone? But if you’re looking for something a bit more rustic and surrounded by nature, there’s a yurt on the Clark Fork River in the town of Superior you may want to consider. This yurt comes with two bedrooms and is big enough for six people. It also has its own deck where you can look out at the land and water in front of you.

What is one of the most unique hotels in Montana?

Sure there are plenty of unique places to stay listed on VRBO but there are also numerous one-of-a-kind hotels in Montana as well. Located in Great Falls, The Hotel Arvon is a boutique luxury hotel that also doubles as an art gallery. Just step inside this hotel’s lobby to view the art created by local artists. If you wish to spend the night, there are 33 well-appointed rooms. 

Are there any treehouse rentals in Montana?

Spending the night in a treehouse is one of the best ways to connect with nature. One such place is located outside of Darby. The Cozy Backcountry Treehouse, as it’s called, allows you to sleep amongst ponderosa pine trees of the Bitterroot National Forest.
