Locally owned, family-run lodging built around comfort, honest rates, and authentic Montana welcoming.
Sundowner Motel is a locally owned, family-run motel in Dillon, Montana, in Beaverhead County.
It's the kind of town where a motel becomes part of how the place actually functions. Elk hunters fill the lot in November, fishing guides book during July, and every August the rooms go to families dropping their kids off at the university down the road.
That rhythm is easier to keep when it's the same family running the front desk who ran it the year before.
Dillon is a working town, a university town, and a ranching town - the kind of place where the motels earn their reputation by getting the fundamentals right the first time. It's the charm people have come to adore.
Sundowner Motel was built for exactly that role - a comfortable, honestly priced place to land, whether you're here for one night or several.
We sit just off the main highway, within walking distance of downtown restaurants and local shops. That same location puts you within easy reach of the things that bring people to Southwest Montana in the first place.
Bannack State Park, the state's first territorial capital and now a preserved ghost town, is a short drive out. So is the Big Hole Battlefield, a quieter, more solemn stop for anyone interested in the region's history. Crystal Park draws rockhounds hoping to dig up actual amethyst, and in winter, Maverick Mountain keeps skiers and snowboarders busy with pretty accessible lift tickets.
Golfers have the Beaverhead Golf Course, one of the better nine-hole public courses in the state, and anglers have two rivers worth the trip - the Beaverhead and the Big Hole, both known well beyond Montana's borders for fly fishing.
We offer 32 rooms across four layouts: one king bed, one queen bed, two queen beds, or a larger room with three queen beds and a wet bar for families or groups traveling together.
With every room comes cable TV, a microwave, a refrigerator, and free internet access. A complimentary continental breakfast, including bagels, English muffins, coffee, orange juice, and hot water for cocoa or cider, is served each morning.
We're pet-friendly, with rooms set aside for guests traveling with animals, and family-friendly, with an outside play area for kids and a larger three-queen room for bigger groups.
Non-smoking and accessible rooms are available on request, and if you're arriving late, our night bell means after-hours check-in isn't a problem.
Just call ahead so we can have your room ready.
Whatever brought you here, we built this motel around the people who come through the door. Whether you're here for a single night or a returning regular - you get the same high-standard welcome.
Southwest Montana does the heavy lifting when it comes to scenery and history. Our job is simpler: make sure the room is ready, the price is fair, and the welcome is real every time.
It's the actual daily routine of running a family motel in a town this size - you get to know the regulars, you remember who's coming back for elk season, you notice when the same fishing guide books the room again.
Staying in Dillon doesn't have to mean choosing between comfort and cost, and it doesn't have to mean staying somewhere that forgets your name the moment you check out. Sundowner Motel has remained a Beaverhead County motel, run the same honest way, through a lot of changing seasons, and that's exactly how we intend to keep running it.
