About this property

115 Yr Old Pure Jewel of Western History-Across The Street from The Hot Springs!

The Bunkhouse Hotel is located in downtown Jackson, MT. (Pop. 36!) and is housed in the historic Jackson I.O.O.F Lodge building, originally built in 1910. The building was completely renovated in 2015 and now serves as a fully functioning and licensed boutique hotel, bar and even houses the town Post Office in the lobby! Truly, a one-of-the-last-best glimpses into Montana's frontier history...

The Hotel is conveniently located just across the street from the world famous Jackson Hot Springs (Noted in the Lewis & Clark journal in July 1806!).

Warm, cozy and well-appointed with authentic period era cowboy furnishings, antiques, art and literature. You will find a genuine, yet modern comfort and feel of the great American West and the true cowboy culture of The Big Hole Valley of Montana.

Private hotel rooms are available for $99 USD per night, Queen-sized beds in a hostel-style shared space for $49 USD per night, the entire bunkhouse (Upstairs) which includes 5 queen beds, bar, living room lounge area, flatscreen TV and private bathroom for $249 USD per night, or you can rent out the entire Hotel! (8 queen beds and 2 commercial bathrooms) for your own private, exclusive use for $499 USD per night. Sorry folks, we have a strict No Pet policy due to our food/beverage licensing and being all-indoors.

So come and enjoy a piece of American history with your friends or family and enjoy one of the most beautiful high mountain valleys in the world, all without breaking the bank.

Whether your soaking, cycling, fishing, hunting, skiing, snowmobiling, exploring or just out for a little getaway, come and experience The Big Hole Valley and get a taste of what Montana was like back in the day...

Cheers!

A Gem in Jackson!
Looking for something different and unusual? The hotel in Jackson is a one of a kind treat! We landed there on a night that gave us the entire building to ourselves! We didnt dip into the hot springs across the street, but we did enjoy a few drinks and chatting with the really nice locals! Our room was simple and comfy.

Rick is amazing, hotel is gorgeous!
At first I was worried about the bathroom being down the hall, but it was not an inconvenience at all! Super clean hotel, comfortable bed and friendly host! I would love to stay here again and again. Hot springs are close enough to walk to. We even got to do a load of laundry to make our trip easier!

Warm Welcome
Great little hotel/hostel, just over the road from the hot springs and bar. Very warm welcome and friendly host . Great communication. Only negative was slightly confusing listing when factoring exchange rates, but host Rick was great at accomodating our needs. Thank you.

Best Friend’s Birthday
Our stay was great! The hotel is located a 1/2 block away from the hot springs and is clean, comfortable and convenient. We rented the entire upstairs - 5 queen beds and full bathroom. In the morning, Rick has a pot of coffee ready to be brewed by the first person up (which was me). It was a pleasant surprise.

Made us feel like Family, the kind you like
Nine seasoned adults from Wisconsin arrived tired of the road, thirsty, and looking for a friendly face.... Rick and his Bunkhouse Hotel made our hearts full again. Victor wants to thank him for the June Bug, Barb wants to thank him for bartering cheese curds/venison stick for elk, and the rest of us loved sitting on the side of the highway visiting. All of us sleeping upstairs together was like being in scouts again. Thank you!

Incredible!
Incredible stay at the Bunkhouse! Rick was great to work with, quick to respond and very helpful. The property is so unique and perfect for a large group. We did a multi-family ski trip based out of the Bunkhouse and it was wonderful. Maverick is just 30 minutes away and Lost Rail just 50. Both mountains were skiing well and offered plenty of options for different levels of ability. Jackson Hot Springs is right across the street and perfect for a post-ski soak. We ate at both Jackson Hot Springs and Rose's Cantina and both were excellent. The Big Hole is a unique area in Montana and the Bunkhouse is the perfect base camp for exploring the area.

In town for a wedding.
It was not fancy by any means, but it worked for what we needed. The biggest downfall of the property was how cold it was! Bed was comfortable.

Beds, bar, and a buck!
The only reason I didn't give the Property Description 5 stars is because it's a rather difficult property to accurately describe. However, Rick was extremely helpful in answering all my questions before I accepted. The Bunkhouse Hotel is a UNIQUE property and we loved staying in this important piece of local history. It being winter, we three adults enjoyed the entire second floor, which during summer months is rented on a per-bed basis in hostel fashion. We called this our Goldilocks Suite, with 5 beds for 3 peeps, plus a bar and a buck! The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was immaculate and we had plenty of towels and a gazillion special personal ammenities in the bathroom. Plus the use of a dryer for our wet ski clothes. Considering the age of the building we were impressed with the updated plumbing and electrical work. It is not easy to upgrade such an old building. We enjoyed way more electrical outlets than most fancy pants places provide. The decor focuses on the rich history of Jackson and the surrounding Big Hole region. One caveat, although we did not stay in them, the private rooms downstairs looked very small and a little claustrophobic. If you require lots of natural light, you might not enjoy those rooms. But for a large group traveling together, the second floor of the Bunkhouse Hotel is THE place to stay.

If you want quirky, local color, this is your place
If you are looking for quirky, this is it. The hotel is unique, authentic, perfectly decorated, located in a tiny Montana town and right across the street from hot springs and an excellent restaurant. Many of those in our large party love quirky/unique, and they were thrilled with the entire experience. However, if you need comfort and privacy (we rented the entire hotel for our family), there are many issues with the property besides squeaky, noisy floors and rooms without closets or individual bathrooms. We did not know that the hotel is also the town post office. Customers came in talking loudly at all hours, interrupting our privacy, awakening us and even appearing irritated that we were there. The beds had flannel sheets and one couple was convinced they had bed bugs. The mattresses could have been much better. People came in off the street three times asking to use the bathrooms or showers. One sink (of two) was clogged throughout our stay. And despite a small fridge, it was not easy even to make sandwiches in the tiny common space. There is a coffeemaker, but there were not mugs for a large group and coffee could have been left for the clients by the owners, since the closest grocery store is 30 minutes away. In sum: quirky, adorable, fun but low on comfort.
