For the Folkvord family, Montana has always been more than a place on the map—it’s where our story has unfolded, season after season. What began in the wheat fields of the Gallatin Valley grew into a legacy shaped by care, community, and the quiet pride of creating something lasting. From those early days with Wheat Montana to our family’s journey into hospitality, each endeavor has been rooted in the same heartfelt intention: to make people feel at home.

When sisters Hillary and Haylee began to dream of welcoming travelers to spaces that carried both comfort and character, our family’s story took on new life. The restoration of The Sacajawea Hotel and the creation of the RSVP Motel and Farmer’s Daughters Eatery became love letters to Montana’s spirit—proof that warmth, good food, and gathering together never go out of style.

Now, we find ourselves back where it all began—surrounded by the hum of nature, the soft sway of the Swan River, and the familiar rhythm of family. The Cottages at Bigfork are a continuation of our story, woven with nostalgia and new beginnings. This is where our roots meet renewal—a place built from the heart, meant to be shared, remembered, and returned to.
