About this property

Rocky Mountain Front Retreat - comfortable adventure - Harmony in Paradise

The Rocky Mountain Front Retreat is located 23 miles NW of Choteau, at close to 5,000 feet above sea level, on a 20 acre section of the historic Moore homestead established in 1919. If you are looking to experience the 'last best place' in the Crown of the Continent, where the rugged Rocky Mountains meet the expansive Great Plains, this is it.

Many outdoor activities are at your door step, such as hiking, photography, running or biking. Also, there are over 1,000 miles of wilderness trails close by in the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Plus, there are fishing, hunting and skiing opportunities in season.

There are very few places to stay located on the Rocky Mountain Front. It is sparsely populated with plenty of wildlife viewing, including: mule and white tail deer, elk, many varieties of birds, grizzly and black bears, chipmunks, rabbits and squirrels.

For those times you prefer to be cozy and stay indoors, the interior is comfortable and inviting, with quality furniture, and fully-equipped kitchen(s). The area is very quiet if you are looking for some writing or other creative time.

The Retreat has just been upgraded with high speed internet and two flat screen TVs for streaming from the internet, together with DVD players for watching movies.

High speed WiFi is available.

• The Rocky Mountain Front Retreat offers two suites: The Elk Suite and the Grizzly Suite.
• Both suites together (this site) can accommodate up to 11 guests.
• If you are interested in the one bedroom Grizzly Suite that can accommodate up to 5 guests, please see: VRBO #822351
• If you are interested in the two bedroom Elk Suite that can accommodate up to 6 guests, please see: VRBO #822466

The two suites are private and fully separated from each, joined only by a large common entry area containing the laundry and some reading/games materials.

The Retreat is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountain Front on the edge of wilderness, yet not too far from town. It truly is part of the Crown of the Continent.

Please note there are security cameras outside the entry doors and on the outside wall in the back of the property.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful spot and very comfortable home.

This was a wonderful place to stay and worked perfectly for our needs. The setting was gorgeous and the house was very clean, well maintained, and very well supplied for cooking. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quiet mountain retreat.

Heaven

Our extended family has stayed here multiple times. We have a small cabin on the front, so it's great to have this place, too, when more family visit. This is the most comfortable place, with the most beautiful views. We walked with kids every evening to go play in the South Fork, and hiked a ton in the canyon. I had a favorite spot on the love seat to read in the evening and stare at Ear Mountain.

Beautifully appointed and comfortable!

Our group of ten met here at this lovely home for our first ever summer hike on the Rocky Mtn Front. Aki and Laura's home is so comfortable, with everything you could possibly need in the kitchens and plenty of bedding and towels. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to hiking, birding, fossil and archaeological activities.

Wonderful 2nd Stay at Your Home

Thank you again for another wonderful stay at your property. We found the home in clean and orderly condition. The directions provided before our arrival made the check in process quite simple. The directions to the home are easy to follow as are the directions for getting the keys and accessing the home. We love the quiet setting of the home and there is nothing like waking up to the views and wonderful Montana breezes. We love the quiet solitude of the home and the fact that unless we needed anything we didn't see a person! Thank you again for opening your home to us. It is the perfect spot to access the Rocky Mountain Front. We will be back!

Outdoor Heaven!

Location, Location, Location! Anyone looking for outdoor activities, this is the place! You are minutes away from hikes that are hard to beat. We did the hike up to Hidden Lake, and enjoyed all the natural beauty! We had the Elk property for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. It was Dad, two adult sons and a nephew. Plenty of room, good beds, and a view out your front door that makes it worth while all by it self! We cooked trout or BarBQ'd every night. Aki was a great host and full of help full information and directions. We look forward to future stays, and exploring the Choteau area more in the future. A huge bonus was being able to attend the Agusta Rodeo! The oldest rodeo in Montana! One note of caution, driving at dawn & dusk be cautious of wild game, there is plenty in the area. On a good recommendation from the fine folks at Grizzly Sports, we picked up cans of bear spray. While trout fishing, we never saw a bear, how ever there was plenty of tracks and fresh sign. A true Montana adventure! Martin Carstens

Wonderful, clean & spacious house

The house was very nice, clean, and spacious with comfortable beds. The owners were accommodating and helpful. The location is beautiful as well. It was a great place to stay when spending the weekend skiing at Teton Pass.

Wonderful Stay!

We were thoroughly pleased with our stay at the Rocky Mountain Front Retreat. From the moment of inquiry to departure the owners/managers were incredibly responsive, easy to work with and made the whole process very easy. The location is spectacular - and the house was perfectly comfortable. It was very clean, tidy and clearly well taken care of. We will absolutely return! Thank you for such an enjoyable stay at your beautiful property!

Away From It All...

First of all, the property is perfection. Aki's directions to the house were flawless, although we still managed to get lost, all part of the adventure! The house itself is beautiful and very new. Everything about it screams comfort! From the huge tv to the huge bed- its all about rest and relaxation in that home. The couches were comfy, the decor was cozy and I don't even know where to start when it comes to the property itself. Such beauty! My Husky was in heaven chasing butterflies and grasshoppers. There is a creek to go swimming in just a quick walk down the driveway. Other than the birds and bees, you can't hear a sound, make sure you get food and supplies on your way in, you won't want to have to go back into town for anything and leave the amazing sanctuary. We were lucky enough to meet Aki during our stay and he was very friendly and welcoming. I can't find enough good words to say about our stay there. I highly recommend it!!

Great Property!

We so enjoyed the property, as it was surrounded by the beauty of the Rocky Mountain Front. We came to go hiking. One day we just hiked just around the property, without getting into the car to go to a trail, as there was so much to see right out our front door. It was spectacular! The living quarters were perfect--very comfortable beds and amenities. We could always call Rita for any questions. We have already recommended it to several people. Thank you!

First Rate Home in a gorgeous setting

Our weekend get away at your RMF Retreat home could not have been better. The four of us friends were grateful that we could be so close to the mountains and with Ear Mountain greeting us each morning it was perfect. Everything we needed and more was provided in the house. It was sparkling clean and oh so comfortable. I most certainly will recommend your place for any future gatherings of friends in this gorgeous setting.

You won't want to leave once you stay here!

I would highly recommend this house as a vacation get-away! The house has everything you need and the views are spectacular. It doesn't get any better than this. And it was affordable!! Short drive to town to eat out if you choose as the house has a full kitchen. The restaurant in town had excellent food and service. I would go back in a heartbeat...

Great Vacation Rental!

Me and my family rented this vacation rental, and had a wonderful time. The house is in a beautiful spot, with amazing views, and very quite and restful. The house is exactly as described. It was more than well stocked with everything that we needed to cook our dinners with. The owners were also great to work with. They were very responsive and helpfulI would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Choteau.

About the host

Hosted by Aki and Laura Lintunen

Host profile image
We built on the 'old homestead' over 30 years ago, with a major addition and total renovations completed in 2012, to create the Rocky Mountain Front Retreat. Family members have been spending time there, in all seasons, for many decades.

Why they chose this property

The property has been in the family for 5 generations; however, the Rocky Mountain Front Retreat is a modern and comfortable place in the 'last best place' on the Rocky Mountain Front which is part of the Crown of the Continent.

We are now excited to share the experience with discerning travelers who are looking for something unique.

What makes this property unique

There are very few places to stay located on the Rocky Mountain Front. It is sparsely populated with plenty of wildlife viewing, including mule and white tail deer, elk, many varieties of birds, black and grizzly bear, chipmunks, rabbits and squirrels.

The Rocky Mountain Front Retreat is nestled between the Lewis and Clark National Forest and Bob Marshall Wilderness to the west and the Pine Butte Preserve and the Great Plains to the east.
