I have been visiting the Izaak Walton for most of my life and each time is special. Yes it might be an older building and have occasional problems related to age but the inn is possibly the most unique in all of Montana. The staff are always top notch and professional and the location is amazing!

This inn is steeped in history and is like going back in time to the 1940's. The rooms are clean, the premises delightful and the staff accommodating and friendly. The only down side is that the location is at least 1/2 hour from any services. The restaurant on premises is very good, but really the only option unless you travel. Be sure to bring some snacks to your room to tide you over. The only complaint we have is that we got a corner room on the second floor directly over the exhaust for the restaurant where the room smelled like a grill for late afternoons and early evenings. While we really preferred to have a corner room and are glad we did, the smell was an issue until it cleared out with the windows open around 11pm. Still, overall, it was a very good experience and we'd certainly recommend the Isaak Walton Inn.

Nice restoration of vintage lodge but that means small room, no heat in the spring, no wall insulation, restaurant was way over priced for very poor quality food.
