About this property

Blacktail Inn & Stations

Our 20 acres of farm land is centered in the Beaverhead Valley, approximately 5 miles north of Dillon, MT. It offers spectacular views in every direction of 5 different mountain ranges.

We designed the 1,700 sq. ft. Inn to cater to needs of Fisherman, Hunters and Tourists alike. With 2 master suites and a bunk room, we can accommodate up to 7 guests.

Beautifully styled, the Inn is furnished in a rustic western decor, with many of the furnishings produced from materials reclaimed from this very property and valley.

The Inn has two common areas with luxurious couches for relaxing and socializing, a large and well-equipped kitchen, and a spacious dining area.

The master suites offer 2 beautiful and private, custom-tiled full bathrooms, while the bunk room shares a common full bathroom space.

In the mornings and evenings, the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets can be experienced from our spacious second story wrap-around deck. This area is perfect for outdoor hosting and BBQs, and offers a tranquil view of the horses and livestock grazing the surrounding valley and mountainous backdrop.

The Inn is uniquely situated above a modern horse stable, and operates seamlessly with our horse boarding operation. Guests will enjoy a peaceful and private stay with all the charm of country life.
For entertainment, guests can enjoy TVs. Kitchens, washing machines, and 3 bathrooms are also standard.

Great Dillon Stay

The Blacktail Inn was perfect for the four of us who were on a fishing trip. The property was very clean and well organized, and Cory was excellent to work with. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had all of the dishes that we needed as we cooked two of the four nights we stayed. We couldn't have been happier, and we will definitely stay here again.

Graduation Weekend

Our son was graduating from UMW and we wanted a place to stay and host a small graduation party. Blacktail Inn and Stables was the perfect venue. It was close to Dillon but still provided the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful landscape. Accommodations were wonderful, Cory was a responsive host, and everything we needed was easy to find. Such a wonderful weekend!

HUNTING TRIP

My son, husband, cousin, and two hunting friends (5) stayed for a 10 day elk hunt. They LOVED this place! The countryside was beautiful and the property was immaculate. It’s only 3mi into Dillon for groceries or a meal. The accommodations look GREAT online, and are even NICER in person. The top of a horse barn has been converted and is warm and cozy with a gas fireplace and handsome leather sofas. Full kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of towels and blankets. There are horses in the stables below, so be prepared for a bonafide ranch experience, smells and all! (We loved it.) The hosts, Cory and Nikki, live on the property about 75yds away, available only if we needed them. Very nice and personable couple. This group of 5 hunters each found the Blacktail Lodge to be quite special! They would definitely recommend it and can’t wait to return!

Nice but problems

The place is very nice looking. Location is okay. The problems are; there were hundreds of dead flies on arrival with doors closed they kept coming in. The master had lots of flies and moths. No screen door. Flies in sink and tub every day. This is due to the place being over a horse barn. You must climb 17 stairs every time you come in. Not a problem if you are in good shape. Driveway is not graded and has little gravel. Secure your teeth. The plumbing in master sink is unacceptable. You can’t use it without getting wet. The faucet handles are backwards. The internet service does not work most of the time. It just keeps shutting down and says “no internet” When it works it is dial up speed. I called with no response. If you have work to do, you will e using your hotspot. The place is well equipped with towels, cookware, etc. Nice fridge and appliances, good barbecue. It is a mixed bag. I wouldn’t stay again.

The apartment is built above a stable, with decks the full length of the building on two sides. You have views of miles of ranch country and distant mountains. The apartment is attractive, comfortably large, and well arranged for 6-7 people. Everything is well maintained.

Friends and Fishing

A few of my out of state friends and I met in Dillon for an annual get together/fishing trip. This property was exactly what we were looking for! It is spacious, clean, has great amenities, and super comfy beds. The location is great as you are only a few minutes from town, and feel like you’re out in the country. Cory and Nikki are the nicest people you could meet, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Clean / Close to UMW / Great Layout

The property was VERY clean and nicely configured for our group. There are three separate bedroom each with it's own bathroom that open onto the main living area (kitchen, dining, two sitting areas). We were very comfortable. Great place to watch the sunrise in the morning from the warm comfort of the fireplace. We would definitety stay there again! Was also fun watching the horses. Hosts were always near if we needed something but definitely left us alone. Great option for Dillon and surrounding areas!
