If you’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying a meal at Marysville House Restaurant, you already know it’s well worth the drive. The rural, rustic steakhouse is located in a ghost town, and the building is a former railroad station. But as delicious as the food is and as cool as the history is, the gorgeous drive alone makes the experience worth it. This is one breathtaking part of Montana.

Marysville House is located on Main Street in Marysville – you can’t miss it.
