Life is Good Lodge Montana on Gary Cooper Ranch at Dearborn River
Wade or enjoy a private take out/put in on the Dearborn River in the back yard. Fly fishing guides come to fish here n their days off when we are at the house!
Custom house on 10 acres. Don’t be surprised to see deer, ducks and geese nudging their way near the deck, or a bear eating huckleberries along the river in the early morning. If you are especially quiet and observant, the hundred thousand acres of ranch across the river have antelope, bear, goats and even a rare bobcat or mountain lion.
Help yourself to the library, watch satellite television or DVD movies, or read from the house’s library. Full size pool table ...
Only few miles from the Missouri Inn over the bridge where the Untouchables was filmed, enjoy the canyon or visit the Lewis and Clark’s Tower Rock and surrounding park. From your base, drive south to Yellowstone, northwest to Glacier Park, or to the continent’s largest dinosaur digs. Float the Lewis and Clark Trail by pontoon boat and lunch at the island where one of the nation's most famous fire occurred, or "ride the rails" with Europeans. there is gambling, but it isn't in your face if you want to avoid it.
Hike with tremendous rock views, or enjoy the new, custom kitchen and fisherman’s décor. In the evening, BBQ, use the fire pit, hang on the deck and watch the sunset, then take your pick of three spacious bedrooms where extra long beds await.

About the host
Hosted by Donna
We are avid outdoor people with political jobs that keep us indoors or reading the news all too often. The men were driving thousands of miles on annual 'vacation' fly fishing the West. One year I persuaded them to rent a week in Montana, and they found hundreds of great spots to fish all where the Dearborn and Missouri Rivers connect. The next year we bought not one but two great houses -- and have not looked back.
Why they chose this property
We fish in the summer and hunt in the winter ... and there is nothing like leaving the humidity of DC and hanging out on the water.
What makes this property unique
We drive through Yellowstone to Jackson Hole, go to Fort Benton for the statue of a dog (Shep) and the most famous Wild West block north of Great Falls, visit the Charles Russell Museum to see the new exhibits, float the historic tour of the places Lewis and Clark saw, and endlessly fish or sunbathe. There are shrimp-fed edible pink fish at the dam, and someone is always giving us elk or venison to roast (which you can actually buy), yum! And the galleries and jewelry are fabulous, but you may even enjoy the gambling. The first time I read in the yard, three deer were curious and came closer to visit!
