Welcome to our guest house and farm. We believe you will enjoy our guest house and 70 acres of Bitterroot Valley farm land as much as we do. We are located on the very western edge of Montana some 12 miles from the Idaho border. More specifically we are fifty miles South of Missoula, Montana in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley near the town of Hamilton. Our rural setting is three miles by crow from the seething metropolis of Hamilton, population 6,000.

We operate one of the few private Fish Hatcheries remaining in Montana. Three ponds surround our home and hatchery building or as we call it the fish house. It is the west end of the fish house that we offer to guests. Out one door and into the heart of the building are the fish raceways and out the west door, twenty five feet away, is one of our main rearing ponds. Water literally runs beneath the floor of the guest house having an effect on its occupants which is best described as soothing.

Your Hosts

Becky and Dan Brandborg work from our home office here on the farm. Becky creates web-sites, operates an old and rare book business, runs the guest house and keeps Dan on a straight and narrow path. Dan runs the hatchery, remodels older homes and does what Becky says. We have one son Flynt who you will see changing our irrigation pipes morning and night keeping the surrounding hay fields green and growing. We all share a love for the backcountry and wilderness of Montana and Idaho. We utilize horses and mules to access our surrounding wilderness areas and spend time in the Selway Bitterroot, Yellowstone, the Bob Marshal and Glacier.

Our farm is our "recharge place" where the green of summer brings the blood pressure back where it belongs after a good days work. Pastoral is a word which comes to mind as I attempt to describe this to you.
