Located in a small Montana town, the colorful locals treated me like an old friend after a few visits. The burgers and grilled sandwiches here are amazing and the bartenders (April, Corynne and Sandy) can mix up drinks and work the grill effortlessly.

Nine years ago, I made my first trip to Five Rivers Lodge. I chose the lodge in large-part because…read moreof the fantastic selection of fishing opportunities. I'm going back in June, which will be my 10th consecutive year staying at this lodge. My reasons for going back year-after-year are now numerous. The fishing is consistently beyond comparison - the guides are the best in Southwest Montana; the large, nicely appointed, double occupancy guest rooms are cleverly separated by a step down and partial height partition wall, which provides a nice separation between roommates; the food is superb - gourmet quality and plentiful; and Jay and Mary, the lodge owners, are the nicest, most charming hosts you could ever hope for! Five Rivers Lodge is operated as a well-oiled machine, catering to the guest's needs and special requirements - all of which combine to make a stay at Five Rivers Lodge a memorable, rewarding experience. It's no wonder that it is frequented by so many known fly fishing greats. I highly recommend this lodge!

I've never fly fished in my life (TBH, I rarely even FISH). So when I learned our 2022 corporate…read moreleadership trip would be a 3-night fly fishing excursion on Montana's Madison River, I was honestly skeptical. But not did I learn how to cast a fly (and land a Trout!), but my visit to Madison Valley Ranch ended up being one of the best trips I've ever taken. From the moment you walk in the door, the ranch rolls out the red carpet. After being welcomed with a cold draft beer and tour of the property, we settled into our very comfortable guest rooms to unwind before dinner. Whether you plan to fly fish or not, the entire ranch is designed to make you feel at ease, and at home -- from the incredible back porch views to the outrageously good dishes served up at every meal. Manu and her team take customer service to a new level, from equipping you for an incredible day on the river to selecting the perfect bottle of Cabernet to pair with your dinner. No detail is too small for them, and no request goes unmet. The accommodations are as comfortable as any 4-star hotel, the meals as delicious as any gourmet restaurant, and the views as beautiful as a slice of heaven. And with ample meeting space for corporate groups, its the perfect setting for a team-building escape. I simply can't say enough about Madison Valley Ranch -- whether you're an experienced fisherman or just learning to cast a fly, it's hard to imagine a better place in America to put your rod into the river.

This a slice of heaven. I almost don't want to tell anyone else about this secret. The Lodging is…read morecomfortable and friendly and the staff is so genuine and warm I miss them!!! Seriously, Elizabeth is like a your favorite sister who is so happy that you've finally come home. The food is serious gourmet... As good as some of the best restaurants in Denver, San Francisco, DALLAS, NY and ect. Scott, the executive chef has serious chops and makes excellent use of natural organic and wild game ingredients. But let's not forget the fishing. Actually, the fishing sucks and no one should ever even think about putting a line in the water around here. That's right...these ARE NOT THE DROIDS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR...

Our room was lovely, (with a large en suite bathroom), and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfasts Leigh made for us were delicious and elegantly presented (real China and crystal) gourmet meals.

I highly recommend this place!

I was told about the Jeffers Inn by my sister in law, thank god she told me about it, otherwise I would have been stuck in a seedy old motel. My stay at the Jeffers was absolutely delightful, and the owners, Leigh and Bob are awesome. Leigh makes a killer breakfast, and keeps the house so beautifully as does Bob. And they have an adorable little dog named Bella. I took my toy poodle with me and she and Bella hung out. If you're visiting Ennis for fishing or simply just visiting family, be sure to stay at the Jeffers.

I took my nieces (10, 11, and 15 years,) my mother (63,) and my grandmother (88.) We stayed in cabin two. We all absolutely loved it. It's situated conveniently between Nevada City and Virginia City. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The "breakfast" that is promised at every B&B was an actual breakfast (as opposed to a muffin or granola bar.) They brought it out and served us a hearty meal as we sat in the shade on the lawn. They even had a cute little rock shop inside, so the girls could get some geodes, crystals, and fossils as souvenirs. I would definitely recommend it, especially for families. It was like having our own tiny apartment to ourselves. It was cheaper than getting rooms enough for the six of us at a chain hotel. It was also cleaner, they had real soap in the bathroom, and they were much less stingy with the towels. It was a great experience.

Not only that, when the food did come out; my huevos rancheros was so cold, and the eggs were cooked the wrong way. My friend didn't even eat his ham and cheese omelet because the eggs weren't cooked. Our lady who served us, never came over once to check on us and avoided eye contact the whole time. We didn't even get a reason of why it took so long. The place wasn't even busy, we had 5 tables who came in after us get servered before us. We are in town visting some friends who could bring a ton of business here, but they will never be back. Don't waste your time or money!!!
