In the heart of the Bitterroot Valley

Peaceful River is located in Stevensville, surrounded by the Bitterroot Valley landscape and within reach of Missoula.

The setting offers the balance that makes a retreat work:

nature when you want it,
town when you need it,
and enough room to disappear into the experience for a while.
