Welcome to Charley-Montana Bed & Breakfast
As one of Montana's premier historic residences, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Charley Montana Bed & Breakfast brings you a casual, comfortable and authentic experience. The historic Charles Krug mansion is a five guest room residence that has stayed very close to it's original design. Owner's Kevin & Sonja Maxwell welcome you to come and stay.
In 1907, rancher Charles Krug and his family moved into their new home. Natural light flooded the huge windows and made rainbows through the leaded glass. Quarter-sawn oak gleamed with honey colors. Carvings on the stairway and fireplaces were smooth to the touch. Massive doors hung in the high-ceilinged rooms.
Much of the home remains just the way it was. Kevin & Sonja Maxwell welcome visitors to the spacious accommodations. Visitors share a reading hall, victorian conversation nook, parlor, sitting rooms and formal dining room. Five comfortably decorated guest rooms have private baths, air conditioning, televisions and queen-size beds.

What Others Say About Us:
The clear choice is the Charley Montana B&B, right by the town's center and 100 feet or so from the Yellowstone River, which runs right through Glendive. . . . The rooms of the 8,000 square foot house are large and opulent in a High West sort of way. Cross Country or Bust, MSNBC.com
From: Frommer's Montana & Wyoming, 6th ed. An impeccable restoration of a majestic neoclassical mansion, Charley Montana is a top-flight B&B in what was once the palatial, 26-room abode of rancher Charles Krug.
From: Lonely Planet, Rocky Mountains, 3d ed. The innkeepers bought this 100-year-old house from the children of its original owner . . . and converted it to a B&B, retaining much of the original flavor -- and furnishings. . . . Guests are welcome to browse the collections of Western art and books.
From: Montana Bed & Breakfast Guide & Cookbook, 2d Ed., by Janet Ollila Colberg. An unconventional mansion -- the old oak floors shine with an antique patina. The twenty-five rooms from the basement to the second and third floor guestrooms light up with prairie sunshine as they did when Charley Krug surveyed his mansion.
From: Fodor's For Choice Travel Experiences. Built by ranching mogul Charles Krug in 1907, this solid brick home looks like a fortress compared with its stick-built Victorian contemporaries. Indeed, with more than 25 rooms and 8,000 square feet, this place sometimes seems more like a castle than a B&B. The interior is decidedly soft, however, and much of the Krug family's period furniture is still in use.
From: The New York Times. It is a place rich in history, of pioneers, American Indians and prehistoric creatures. The Hell Creek formation around Glendive has over the last several decades turned up piles of Late Cretaceous dinosaur fossils. Not only that, as we learned when we asked a ranger at Makoshika State Park, so many bones have been found in recent years that the women of one ranching family were offering digging tours of their land.
The Rancher Hall downstairs features an antique bank vault door.
