Simply living in Montana can feel like a vacation, but that doesn't mean we can't take a long weekend to create an actual vacation. There are tons of ways to do it. From camping in the great outdoors to a more upscale hotel, it's not hard to find a great place to lay your head. But, we particularly love the more unique options. And, bonus points for the spots that are truly local! This Montana bed and breakfast is about as local as they come. Nestled high in the forest, it provides a sense of peace and quiet that we all need once in a while.

The Blue Mountain Bed & Breakfast, located in Missoula, offers the chance to get up close and personal with some of the most beautiful scenery in the state.

This is one of the most highly rated bed and breakfasts in town and with just one stay, you'll see why. It sits high in the forest, allowing for views that go on for miles. And, it's not far from part of the Lewis and Clark Trail, which means visitors can get a bit closer to the history of the state.

Guests can choose from five private rooms. Each one is decorated to match the vibe of the location.

We especially love the fact that each room feels like its own private hideaway. Looking out the window you almost feel hidden within the trees.

Of course, no bed & breakfast is complete without meals and this one offers some of the best!

While the nature and food can't be beat, it's the hosts that make this Montana bed and breakfast something to rave about. Both Brady and Elaine Anderson-Wood are natives of Montana and they're always happy to talk about their home and experiences. In fact, throughout the bed and breakfast you'll find personal family heirlooms and unique pieces from their travels.

No matter what you need, you'll be truly taken care of during your visit.

This is one of the most wonderful ways to spend a few days away from home.

Blue Mountain Bed & Breakfast is open year-round. Availability and rates vary depending on the season, so be sure to check out the Blue Mountain Bed & Breakfast website to reserve. You can also follow the Blue Mountain Bed & Breakfast on Facebook. They can be reached at 406-251-4457.

While nature in Missoula is a must-experience, we also recommend spending some time in town. It's considered one of the most hippie towns in Montana and we'd love to see if you agree!
