Virgelle Merc Bed & Breakfast - Fort Benton

Remotely located in the heart of the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, Virgelle Mercantile offers visitors comfortable overnight accommodations in authentically restored B&B guest rooms and homestead cabins. The remote location makes for an exceptional choice for those seeking a respite from everyday life. There is no better place from which to see the night time sky or hear the quietness that's only available in the country.

All overnight guests enjoy personalized service and fresh breakfast each morning in the dining room. B&B guests also receive a complimentary snack basket each evening in their room. Upstairs rooms in the mercantile offer an atmosphere from a bygone era, with today's queen-sized beds, wireless Internet and climate control. Homesteader cabins declare the simplicity of kerosene lights and wood-burning stoves from a century past, with the comfort of today's full-size beds and wireless Internet. 4 B&B guest rooms share a bath down the hall. Cabin guests share 2 centrally located modern baths. B&B guests are welcome to use any bath.

Overnight guests often enjoy our river outfitting services, including 1 to 12 day paddling experiences that encompass up to 150 miles of a relatively unchanged historic waterway. Missouri River Canoe Company's services include everything from canoe and kayak rental to fully outfitted and guided river expeditions.
