FishOn is a gem of a place!
What a fabulous set up for a family gathering. We love the isolation with the dark skies/amazing stars and the river. Several moose sightings, deer, bald eagles and a fox and a bear as well by the bridge. Heard hooting owls at night. Luckily, we were very prepared with enough food for the four days we were there. Because we did not want to leave. The kitchen is well stocked. There is some arts and crafts that the kids enjoyed/ Especially painting rocks. Had Games and puzzles as well. But their favorite thing was fishing! Minimal cell coverage. The Wi-Fi was not working. And we just decided to live with that. It was nice not having to depend on our electronics. Everyone was very pleased with their comfortable cabins, and with their stay. So much fun. We will be back!

The biggest issue was there was mouse feces in some of the beds. Otherwise it was fine. Very rustic cabins and close to river. Fun place to hang out with family and friends. Had a great time hanging out at firepit. Isolated from others which was great. We really enjoyed the river and surrounding area.

Best Place Ever!
I can't say enough good things about this place. The property is absolutely incredible. The cabins are very well appointed, and the kitchen in the cook cabin has everything you could ever need. We had a larger group during our stay, and there was more than enough room for all of us. Such a private setting made our weekend even more enjoyable. Being so close to Big Hole River made it even better, especially with evening fires right on the riverbank. Emily and Gregg were exceptional hosts, and were extremely helpful from booking all the way through arrival. We can't wait to book our next trip!! Thank you! -Keegan

Perfect Montana Getaway
Our stay at this property was absolutely fantastic! The Big Hole River truly lives up to its reputation as Montana’s ‘Last Best River.’ Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and rich history, this property offers a serene and peaceful retreat. The four separate cabins provided ample space for our group of 12, and each cabin was beautifully remodeled with rustic charm and modern amenities. From cozy linens to luxurious claw foot tubs, every detail was thoughtfully designed to ensure a comfortable stay. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, this property has it all. We enjoyed exploring the area during the day and unwinding in the evenings surrounded by the tranquility of nature. Overall, our experience here was magical, and we can’t wait to return for another unforgettable Montana getaway!

Peace and Privacy- A RARE GEM 💎!!
OUR STAY WAS FABULOUS !! Fish On property was a phenomenal experience in oh so many ways! From the cleanliness to the cabins and unique added touches that remind you you’re being taken care of - it gave my friends and family wonderful, unforgettable memories. The location is so beautiful. It’s private and quiet and filled with the beauty of nature all around you. I could tell the owners truly care about this place and want all their guests to feel at home. The river is serene and full of fish to be caught! Taking the short walk to the river was our favorite morning activity. I will never forget the mornings and nights on the porch along with the best campfire chats. It was wonderful to have the larger cabin with the full kitchen to gather in and then retread to our own private cabins when we needed alone time. We can’t tell you how much we appreciated this time and will back as soon as possible! What a GEM! Also, the owners were excellent communicators and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at the cabins. It was so quiet and relaxing. Spent the mornings fishing, lunch and a nap mid-day and more fishing in the afternoon. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed. Perfect!

Montana Getaway on the Big Hole
Beautiful Big Hole River getaway. Loved having a cabin for each couple in our family. We loved the big porches, the wonderful Camp kitchen, Super location just steps away from the river. We put our kayak in at Melrose and had the most lovely 2.5 hour float to the back yard of our property. It was warm so fishing was not as good as we had hoped but we made up for that with other things to do. Such a great week.

Rustic Relaxation
This is a unique property in that there are 4 separate cabins, each with sleeping capabilities. This made it perfect for two families giving everyone privacy and space to spread out, which the teenagers especially enjoyed. The cook's cabin was well stocked with games and ample cooking supplies. The setting was private and quiet, very condusive to sitting on the porch, taking in the views, and reading a book or watching the kids play on the slack line. There were mesquitoes this time of year and being near the water probably intensifies this, but the hosts provided plenty of repellent as well as a screened in picnic shelter, which was very comfortable for eating meals and visiting. Fishing was convenient either on the property or at Brown's Bridge. It would be fun to come back to Fish On! in the winter as I can imagine it being very cozy. The log cabins give the atmosphere a real rustic vibe, but with all of the modern ammenties included. Thank you, Emily and family for sharing your vacation spot!

My family and friends absolutely loved our stay on The Big Hole! The property could not be more gorgeous, and the cabins are so cute and comfy. The cook cabin had absolutely everything you could ever need to cook and feed a very large hungry crew. Do not hesitate, book now!!

Slice of heaven!
This property was so much more than we expected! Not only did the cabins have everything we needed (and things we didn’t know we needed but were delighted to have;), but they were also so comfortable and clean! We had two families sharing the property and between the multiple beds in the different cabins and the fantastic Cook Cabin, we had plenty of room to entertain, relax, play games or do whatever and not get in anyones way. On a side note.. thou the property is on the river, there is a great slow side channel/buffer separating the land from the main river flow. This was a huge peace of mind with kids around. Plenty of river front access around the property but the main fire pit area where we hung out felt super safe. ‘Fishon’ was the perfect place to unwind with our friends and family and was well equipped (steak knives and wine glasses for all). We WILL BE BACK, thank you Emily!

Beautiful Relaxing Riverfont Haven
My family and I had the opportunity to stay here and it was an incredible fun experience. It's a beautiful piece of property that has easy access to one of our favorite rivers in Montana. From wade fishing to easy river put ins just a few miles up the road, this property will fulfill all your fishing needs. Also fun for the kids as they were able to fly kites, go gem hunting, and play tetherball. We were able to walk down to the river with blankets and have a picnic which was so nice and relaxing. The cabins are very clean and still keep that rustic feel. The cook cabin is a great place to gather and socialize with friends and family. We cooked, played games and listed to music. So much fun! Emily and Greg are incredibly warm and welcoming and went above and beyond every need. Definitely looking forward to coming back to this incredible piece of property. Thanks Emily!

Quintessential Montana Getaway
Had the most wonderful girls weekend! We so enjoyed our time and entire experience at the Potter’s property..from the river walks, fishing, bird watching (we saw a bald and a golden eagle fly a mere 25 ft above us) and chilling out on the cabin deck; we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The cabins are rustic with clean contemporary decor and incredibly comfortable beds with fresh luxury linens. Our time sipping cocktails fireside and eating dinner in the cozy cooks cabin were the icing on the cake each day. They had all the amenities we needed for an active yet relaxing weekend. I can’t wait to come back in the fall for our family gathering as this property is perfect for all ages and has so much to offer all activity levels. I especially loved how we could spread out in the 4 cabins. Thank you so much Emily for making this such an easy and pleasurable getaway where we could unplug (or not) and reconnect in nature with your comfortable and safe surroundings. Megan U
