Remote & Spacious
Nelson’s Spring Creek Lodge & Cabins
A remote and spacious Montana fly fishing lodge
Nelson’s Spring Creek Lodge & Cabins is located 10 miles south of Livingston in beautiful Paradise Valley. The remote and spacious Montana fly fishing lodge has a total of seven very comfortable private rooms. Three of the rooms are attached to the common area where a complimentary breakfast is served each morning. The other four rooms are located in the cabins, each within easy walking distance to the lodge.
Stream Side Lunch Offered
Each GUIDED FISHING TRIP includes a well prepared hot/cold lunch that can be enjoyed along the water while taking in the beautiful Montana scenery.
Dinner
Livingston, and the surrounding area, provide many great dining opportunities. For recommendations please see the comprehensive list below under Nearby Attractions.
Room amenities include:
• Private baths with blow dryer and basic toiletries.
• Separate entries
• Flat screen TVs with satellite hook-ups
• Free wi-fi and internet service
• Kitchenettes with under counter fridge, coffee maker, microwave, and full sink.
• On-site laundry
• Complimentary breakfast at the Lodge
Five of our rooms are equipped with two queen beds and a sitting area. Our other two rooms have a king size bed or two extra-long twin beds. All rooms have space to set up for fly tying and an area to store your fishing gear, and have access to covered porches.
The common area has a large kitchen, banquet dining room, and a cozy great room complete with a fireplace. Decks surrounding the building provide plenty of opportunity for catching the evening breeze, and star gazing. The kitchen is used to serve a full-course breakfast each morning.
Arriving here feels like coming home to family. While my husband fishes with one of the Nelson guides, I enjoy the beauty and peace of the working ranch and its spring creek.
