Introduction
The Ennis Homestead is located in the Madison River Valley, at an altitude of about 5000 feet between the Tobacco Root Mountains on the west and the Madison Mountains on the east. The high mountain meadows and surrounding hillsides are dotted with small lakes and streams, luring wildlife such as elk, deer, bear and Bald Eagle. Known for pleasantly warm summer days, crisp, cool evenings and very low humidity, the Madison River Valley and surrounding mountains are the perfect place for any outdoor activity, whether it’s fly fishing, hiking, horseback riding, river rafting or golf.

A heartbeat away are historic Virginia City, which has one of the only original Western opera theaters performing today; Nevada City, a partially restored mining town, where one can pan for gold and see how life was in the 1860’s; and the famous Alder Gulch of gold rush lore. Surrounding the Valley towers one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world: the Rocky Mountains and the northwestern gateway to the Yellowstone National Park.
