My stay in Polebridge was the experience of a lifetime! If you want to escape civilization and drink up with some great locals, this is the place. Be warned, no electricity and little indoor plumbing. My outhouse had bats in it.
Delicious baked goods in the Mercantile! The Northern Lights Salon has great food and great prices! Being at Polebridge is like being on top of the world -- it's gorgeous!
Polebridge is the most beautiful place in US. I have not been there since the late 70's, and I have never forgotten the beauty.
Polebridge … Found myself on a gravel road in late afternoon... spent the night at the hostel with wild deer grazing along the road on the way in... a huge lumber camp wood cook stove for warmth, a battery VCR to watch an old movie until the battery went dead, a huge gas water heater on the roof for hot showers, bunk beds, unique fellowship. Been there, done that... Hey I got the T-shirt! Did I say I saw grizzly and black bear chomping down in the biggest Huckleberry Patch South of town? If you truly want to get away... this is One Real Getaway spot.... J
West Yellowstone Hostel at the Madison Hotel in West Yellowstone … This is a great hostel. The dorm rooms are very comfy, and feel like home. They have full bedding and at least one of the beds in each room is not a bunk. They also have reading lamps and a sink in each room. The dorm rooms and the bathrooms were very clean, and the staff were friendly. Great place to stay.
North Fork Hostel in Polebridge … Beautiful! Just beautiful! And everyone is very friendly and laid back. It truly is a real treasure.
HI - Brownie's Hostel in East Glacier Park … I have stayed in hostels all over North America and Europe, and this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in! It is a different experience, staying in an old log cabin style building. the store and bakery downstairs was wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Of course the location is beautiful, and the staff helped me book a tour into the park. My beautiful private room had an extremely comfortable double bed with a handmade quilt. The neighbors were friendly, as were the local dogs. The food in the restaurant was phenomenal.
Bozeman International Backpackers Hostel in Bozeman … The best place in Montana--good times, great friends, and clean sheets.

St. Ignatius Campground & Hostel, Inc in St. Ignatius … It's great, private, with considerate hosts and a lovely small town a walk away. It has hot showers (not always encountered on my trip), a restful environment, and starry nights.
North Fork Hostel in Polebridge … Simply amazing. Take time to relax at The Northern Lights Saloon, share some beer and food, and spend time speaking with Oliver at the hostel. Great guy. The peace and serenity of this place should be savoured. The drive is fun. Having traveled the world, this is a must. Ever heard silence? Sit in the wood-burning hot tub at the hostel and watch the Northern Lights and remember you have one life! If you don't get this place, check for a pulse.
North Fork Hostel in Polebridge … The North Fork Hostel is FANTASTIC if you don't mind roughing it a little bit and giving up a few luxuries. Polebridge is a tiny, tiny town. To get there you have to drive about 6 miles over a bumpy dirt road. The town has one store that also serves as a post office and bakery. There is one little cafe that serves delicious homemade meals. In the evening, everyone at the hostel walked to the cafe for supper. Seems like everyone in the tiny town shows up the cafe for supper. Most people sit outside at the long wooden picnic tables. There's no electricity, so you have to find your way back to the hostel by using a flashlight. The hostel is clean. People friendly. Don't forget your flashlight!

Bozeman International Backpackers Hostel in Bozeman … Very good hostel with a good price, nice people, and it's well equipped. I do really recommend it.
North Fork Hostel in Polebridge … I have spent many nights in the comfort of this hostel. I must say the Square Peg cabins are the best way to go. As a former, and in my heart still present, Montana resident I must say "Please treat this place with respect, and love." Polebridge is a slice of heaven on earth, and the great people who reside there will appreciate your care. As for the hostel, you will not find a better location, more breath-taking views, and the chance to see wilderness at its best than at the one and only North Fork Hostel. Thanks, all of you.
North Fork Hostel in Polebridge … If a person doesn't do anything else in their lifetime he or she needs to visit "Heavens Gate," The North Fork, and spend some relaxing time within John's walls.
