Why you need to escape to Montana this fall

Fall in Montana offers changing leaves, perfect temperatures and many outdoor activities. Getaway from it all and enjoy some family time or just simple R&R. Montana boasts something for everyone! Find Your Fall Retreat>>

Our favorite reasons to visit Montana in fall:

• Leaf Peeping – did you know that Montana is home to Tamaracks, a conifer whose needles turn a gorgeous golden yellow color before falling off and returning green in the spring?
• Hiking – temps are cool, colors are popping, serene hikes abound!
• Yellowstone & Glacier National Parks – far fewer people visit the parks in the fall. Take a guided tour, boat ride, hike or scenic drive. Plus, tickets are no longer required at Glacier National Park after September 6, 2021!
• Fishing – before brown trout start spawning in November, they are really active which means perfect fishing!
• Sunrises & Sunsets – Big Sky Country offers stunning sunrises and sunsets over vast open spaces, gorgeous rivers or breathtaking peaks. You’ll see clouds like you never have before.
• Great Weather – September and October bring lots of sunshine and mild temperatures with averages in the upper 60s. Fall is the perfect time to get outside!

Need a home base for your fall activities? Whether you want a secluded property with plenty of privacy or a property where you can walk to restaurants, shopping and activities, we have a wide assortment to fit every need.

We’re thrilled to announce that Whitefish made Condé Nast’s list as 1 of the 26 Most Beautiful Places in America!

With Whitefish Mountain Resort ranked #3 Resort in the West by Ski Magazine, the proximity of Glacier National Park, the endless outdoor activities, and the breathtaking scenery, we’re not surprised Whitefish made Condé Nast’s 26 Most Beautiful Places in America list. Plus, it’s getting easier to get to Montana with airlines adding direct flights to Montana!

“Whitefish may be most famous for its ski resort, but the Rocky Mountain town has a lot to offer in every season. (Case in point: It was one of Airbnb’s top trending destinations for summer 2021.) Warm-weather activities include hiking, biking, and zip-lining, plus strolling along Central Avenue—the wood awnings and locally-owned shops will make you think you’ve stepped onto the set of a classic Western remake. Another perk: The town is located near Glacier National Park, making it an excellent access point for travelers wanting to experience some seriously beautiful lakes, glaciers, and mountains.” – Condé Nast

Stay Montana Expands its Big Sky, Montana Vacation Rental Portfolio 

Stay Montana is delighted to acquire Beehive Property Management and will keep the majority of the onsite operations and team intact. Beehive Property Management has been focused on Big Sky, Montana lodging with a well-established brand, returning guests, a variety of unique properties and loyal homeowners.  

“To ensure our owners and guests will be continuously cared for as if Beehive were still the property manager, we have chosen to sell to another local family-owned Montana company, Stay Montana. We wanted to make sure we selected a company who truly understood the unique identity of our special Big Sky properties – we knew we had found that when we met with Jennifer and Chris Torsleff, the owners of Stay Montana. Additionally, we are excited by the additional resources the Stay Montana team has to offer and confident our loyal guests & owners will be more than satisfied.” Anne Gagne, former Beehive Property Management President and Owner. 

Stay Montana is excited to help take all our properties to the next level with the expanded personnel, marketing resources, exceptional customer service and amenities that Stay Montana brings to the table. The Beehive property inventory compliments Stay Montana’s inventory nicely and will make Stay Montana the leading vacation rental company in Montana. 

“Over the last couple of years, we have seen several Big Sky vacation rental companies being purchased by large out of state companies with no ties to Montana, so we were excited when we had the opportunity to keep the company and jobs in Montana,” said Chris Torsleff. 

Chris, Jennifer and their two children Ella and Connor moved to Big Sky in March of 2016 from Breckenridge, CO.  Both Chris and Jennifer have worked in the hospitality industry for 30 plus years for companies like Vail Resorts, Ritz Carlton, Marriott, and Hilton. Married at the Moonlight Lodge in 2002, Jen and Chris always had a dream to own a business in Big Sky and contribute to the community. Stay Montana is headquartered in Big Sky with additional offices in Bozeman and Flathead Valley.
