Come to Southwest Montana for a pastor getaway experience.
Imagine time away for you and your spouse. Time to rest. Time to reconnect with God and one another. Time to be seen and heard - all surrounded by the beauty of endless mountains, sweeping valleys, and big sky.
Enjoy the Valley Views Roadhouse Cabin in Whitehall, Montana
Guests stay in a cozy, one-of-a-kind retreat in this lovingly restored 1950s motel suite. Moved to Whitehall on a sprawling 100+ acre property, this little gem is a perfect blend of nostalgia, creativity and modern comfort. This vintage cabin is the perfect spot for rest and renewal. With an endless horizon and space to unwind, you may not remember you are a short drive to restaurants, shopping and conveniences in nearby Whitehall.
Close to historic mining town, Butte, MT, you’ll find shopping and museums, area lakes and rivers, hiking trails, and more - and within 2 hours of Yellowstone National Park, you’ll find the Southwest, Montana an ideal space to rest and play.
