We just had an absolutely magical time at the Virgelle Mercantile! This place is about as remote and off the beaten track as I have ever been. We arrived early evening (after dinner at Ma's Diner in Loma), took a walk down to the ferry and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Came back and sat outside our unique accommodations - the sheep wagon (!) and listened to coyotes, watched bats come out at dusk, saw deer in the field in front of us, and then saw the most incredible star-filled sky ever! As city-dwellers and non-campers, this was magnificent - I think one could refer to this as "glamping". Our sheep wagon was charming, clean, comfortable and very close to camping! It is a quick dash to a spotless bathroom (in an old converted ice house) and close to the main house. For breakfast, Don made a gourmet meal of Dutch Babies, sausage, fruit, juice and good strong coffee. We sat and chatted with him for a good hour and learned all about life in this remote part of Montana. He is super nice and had a lot of interesting and helpful information for us. We have been on a long road trip, staying in small, historic towns around Montana and this was the best, most memorable place - I highly recommend it and hope to come back again!!! read more
