Forest, meadow, and a delicious mountain range view....this property feels secluded with one residence besides ours in view, yet is only a few hundred yards off of Hwy 93. Easily accessible whether you're a cycler or RVer. Our acreage is smack dab on an elk route from water to the hills, so when they are using this route, we see them every few days. Deer, coyotes, eagles, hawks and owls are frequent guests, with occasional drop-ins by wolves, moose, and bears. We are mid-build on our home and have a lively family and dog. The two RV spots are about 25 yards from our house, so be aware we will all be sharing the space, to a degree. There is plenty of space for your dog(s) to run. We should communicate to let our dogs meet, but if they get along, no leashes needed. Many summer nights we host bonfires and music, but we're not too wild; things will quiet down around 11 p.m. Water and electric are solid; wifi from the house may reach you. Black and gray water dumping is available for a fee. We are mere minutes from many local lakes, 25 minutes from the Canadian border, 12 minutes from Eureka, 2 minutes to a gas station, 45 minutes from Whitefish, and about 70 minutes from the West Entrance to Glacier National Park.

The LCR was established January 1st, 2015 as the ambitious result of the owners, James and Debby who dreamt of always having a ranch/recreational destination property. There are no small town main streets or stores, fancy restaurants or coffee stands, not even any museums or other touristy attractions..... what you will find is a remote, peaceful, serene, and private setting with a great history and relatively easy access to any of those things; all less than 30 minutes away. You'll also be in close proximity to Glacier National Park, Whitefish and Flathead Lakes (plus countless other lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams), as well as all of the other wonders the Flathead Valley and Northwest Montana offers. Our property offers two Full RV sites and two tiny cabin rentals. The RV's can be reserved here on Hipcamp and the cabins are available on VRBO #2432106 or #2432361 for reservations. For more information and pictures. The RV sites have water, sewer, and electric hook-up(s) 15ft or less from your unit so please make sure your connections are long enough. There is no cellular service or coverage but we have very good Internet access and WiFi calling is available with most smart phones. Enjoy your time watching deer graze, fish jumping in the pond, or star gazing unlike you’ll ever see...or just relax with a good book. Our property has many options nearby or about an hour away including Flathead and Whitefish Lakes, Glacier National Park, and a myriad of other lakes or hiking trails. You can also find shopping or exploring in any of the downtown areas nearby. Pets allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them. We look forward to having you visit us in America’s “Last Best Place”! James and Debby Abraham

🏕️ Elkrise Meadows – Elk at Sunrise Under the Big Sky Location: Trout Creek, Montana Type: Primitive Tent Camping | 10 Acres | Off-Grid Welcome to Elkrise Meadows — where the elk roam, the sky never ends, and your morning coffee comes with a front-row seat to nature’s wildest show.

Perfect for hunters, couples looking to unplug, or anyone ready to experience Montana the old-fashioned way: raw, real, and unforgettable. 🔥 What to Expect 🌄 Epic sunrise views over open meadows 🦌 Daily elk sightings (seriously!) 🔥 Fire pits welcome (check fire restrictions) ⛺ Bring your own tent, gear, and grit 💧 No water, no toilets – this is real off-grid camping 🛻 Easy pull-up access for trucks/SUVs Note: This is not a glamping site. It’s the kind of place where you might wake up at 4 a.m. with your partner, step outside to take a leak, and suddenly find yourself staring down a herd of elk in the rising mist. If that excites you — you’ve found your spot. 📍 Book your stay at Elkrise Meadows Come for the silence. Stay for the sunrise. Leave with a story.

The Hosts are so solid. People you want in your life. Kind, genuine. For me this is important and makes all the difference in this life and especially when sharing community. However, It wouldn’t really matter if you didn’t like them anyway, because in the whispering woods of their remote property, the cabin is on its own level. You’re all alone in the Magic of the hill top. Great place to reset, write, read. Or, Do absolutely nothing with your dog. Also a good jump off point to many trails and everything Panhandle. 20 minutes from Sandpoint. We came from Priest Lake and were headed to Glacier via the Swinging Bridge route on 2. Good pillows, comfortable bed, cast iron, games, telescope, wall of windows, yet so private. Only the soaring Eagles will see you. Doug brought me maps and books and Jessica brought me solutions for anything that came up along my way. Great communication. Reliable. Fair. Not for the Bougie. Unless you’re trying to come back to earth.

Sylvia Lake - a short drive from basecamp. Quiet and beautiful

A great location far from town that's quiet, relaxing and provides an amazing stargazing experience at night. The hosts are wonderful people who bend over backwards to take care of you while giving you plenty of privacy. While it is a drive into the mountains (about 4,000ft elevation according to my phone), the property is easy to find and accessible via paved roads if arriving from the East/Whitefish. There's no cell service, so bring a satcom system or use the one generously provided by the hosts. The two RVs sites are in tandem along their access road. They're not private and may take bit of leveling on your arrival, but are easily accessible by even large trailers.

This was the perfect quiet getaway for us. We really enjoyed the pond for the dogs to swim in. The wildflowers covered the property. It was lovely. These hosts were top notch. Very friendly as well as informative. We plan to make another visit when we can

Weekend Trip to Legacy Creeks Ranch

Great hosts! Nice location with a pond (well cared for) and creek on site. Stayed in a camper, water/power/sewer were great. Flat area. Lots of deer. Very quiet area, great to sit and listen to your surroundings. Property very well cared for. Internet was pretty solid. Streaming video was great, sometimes MS Teams didn’t like it but that platform is sensitive. Calls over WiFi were perfect. Did I say the hosts were fantastic? Be aware that it’s a bit of a drive from whitefish so plan ahead for drive time. Stayed for 3 nights. If in the area again, this place is my first choice.
