We were looking for a spot to simply get away and Ruby Valley Lodge was just the place. The cabin is clean, well-maintained and was the perfect lay-out for two couples (my wife and I together with our son and his wife). It's also in a perfect location with a couple of restaurants and the supermarket an easy walk away.

The kitchen is well-stocked with all dishes, pots, pans, seasoning and condiments we needed to stay in and cook a few times - plus it was perfect for breakfast and lunch every day.

Great fishing spots are all over the place and always as short or as long a drive as we wanted to make. Highly suggest "Alder Bridge" and then working your way up the river. We also loved "Vigilante" up near the dam. We fished there a lot and it was great because the wives who weren't interested in fishing with us, could spend part of the day sitting and watching on the ridge just above the river.

The owners are terrific and although not on property, they've found a perfect person, "Jane", to keep an eye on things. We met her sort of by accident as we were checking in. She gave us some great tips on restaurants and couldn't have been nicer.

We're now counting the days until the next trip!

PS Sheridan is a perfect location with easy access to some of the greatest fishing rivers in Montana. Plus, if you want a change of scenery, Butte and Bozeman are just short drives away.
