River Island House - Luxury Mountain Riverfront Log Home, Nye, Montana

River Island House is nestled on a private, wooded island at the foot of the rugged Beartooth Mountains, on the West Fork of the Stillwater River in Nye, Montana. Located at the water's edge, you'll enjoy the amenities of the most discriminating taste, with the relaxed comforts of a cozy, beautiful 2-story log home. There are comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to 10 people, with 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths.

Enjoy the spacious living room, dining area, and well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs, snuggle into the large, cozy sofa and enjoy the 60" tv. Sit by a warm fire in the evening or on one of the decks, just a few feet from a wild river with all-native trout fishing. Kick back and relax in the 2-person hot tub.

There are two large decks overlooking the river. Upstairs, relax on the comfortable outdoor sofa & two chairs. Downstairs, there is a grill, table seating for up to 12 people, and there are two Adirondack chairs for relaxing.

Just off the front lawn and nestled next to the woods, gather around the firepit for a relaxing time with family and friends. Wood-burning fireplace in the living room and gas fireplaces in 2 of the bedrooms. Note: The rushing water sound is soothing, though it can be loud in Summer - If you're a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs.

Locally, you can find 100+ miles of roads for hiking, 4-wheeling, day trips, or wildlife watching. Multiple trailheads. Breathtaking mountain views and scenic drives. Local activities include hiking, bird & wildlife watching, Blue Ribbon all-native trout fishing, numerous back-country guides, raft fishing guides, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, and more.

With a population of approximately 200 people at an elevation of 4852', Nye is a small community where people cherish the land. The Stillwater River offers sparkling waters and Blue Ribbon trout fishing. Many great hiking trails are near Nye, Woodbine Falls, Emerald and Mystic Lakes, just to name a few.

River Island House is only 18 miles from the world-renowned Tippet Rise Art Center in Fishtail. Find out more about the art center at www.tippetrise.org. (Note: Closed 2020 season due to Covid-19.)

From Nye, the 8-mile drive to Woodbine, in Custer National Forest, has been described as one of the most scenic drives in Big Sky Country. There, you can take a leisurely hike to the Woodbine Waterfall.

Enjoy all of that Montana has to offer here, whether it's hiking in the wilderness, trout fishing, river rafting, kayaking, wildlife and bird watching, horseback riding, or taking advantage of our local outfitters. If you’re looking for adventure, Nye is a great place to start.

It's about an hour drive with breathtaking scenery to the historic mountain town of Red Lodge. From there, you can take Hwy. 212 up to the stunning beauty of the Beartooth Highway, a National Scenic Byways All-American Road (to elevations of 11,000' with quaint mountain towns along the way), which leads to Yellowstone National Park. This adventure is not for the faint-of-heart. For detailed information on this exciting, white-knuckle experience, visit www.beartoothhighway.com.

You can drive approx. 2-1/2 hours to Livingston and then south through Paradise Valley to the charming town of Gardiner, then one mile to the famed Roosevelt Entrance to Yellowstone National Park (where you will often be greeted by herds of bison) with easy access to Yellowstone's upper loop.

There is so much to do and see here in South-Central Montana! Come and join us at River Island House!

Magical Place!
This is the perfect place to spend a peaceful time surrounded by nature. The river right out the back was just beautiful. The trees all around were stunning. The cabin itself was very clean, well maintained, well stocked, comfortable, and homey. We especially loved the outside porch spaces. What a wonderful place all around!

Beautiful property
We enjoyed our stay. The house was the perfect layout for our family. Nice rooms. Wonderful kitchen, beautiful decks and front yard for doing outdoor games. If you want a view while sitting on the upper or lower deck this is not the house for you. I learned that I do not like to be completely surrounded by trees. We couldn't see the mountains at all from the since the property sits low and is surrounded by trees and a stream. Highly recommend the property for those that like seclusion and privacy without a view. Overall the manager and onsite property manager were wonderful. We appreciated the family time!! We love the mountain location.

Springtime stay with a few hiccups
The cabin is gorgeously built..upkeep not so much ., 5 ladies for a 3 night stay .. Upstairs shower did not work .. the shower handle fixture needs to be redone, the stopper was gone so no bath could be taken instead; the downstairs half bath sink stopper was in need of repair ; had snowed earlier that day and the heat was set at 60* when we got to home .. the heating system is funky and took a long time to heat up. The walls are somewhat thin for noise retention .. the floors throughout home was not that clean; the hot tub was not filled but I guess I overlooked that it as its yo and running in mid May. Beautiful setting right by the creek and great deck with lots of comfy furniture., The man who built cabin lives near by so he wax over to see if he could fix the shower but he could not at that time .. I was refunded a one nights stay with out asking .. I think if these issues are fixed and the cleaner kept tabs on issues as they arise and make sure it’s all tidy and working this would be a perfect 5* .. at this time it’s a 3-4

Beautiful, Tranquil Setting
The home is unique for its position within feet of the Stillwater River, nestled among mature hardwoods and pines. The sizeable house is solidly constructed, comfortable and well-appointed for couples or family gatherings. Its relative proximity to Red Lodge and the Beartooth Parkway a big plus too. The property manager and caretaker could not have made it simpler or more convenient for someone unfamiliar with the site. I hope to return again sometime soon!

The location was beautiful! The hot tub is definitely only a 2 person! The utensils in the kitchen need to be updated like cutting knives for bread, meat etc, the master bed is really soft but since there was only 4 of us the bed in the den was much firmer. Over all nice place.
