ROAM Beyond likes to keep things small with its tiny camper rentals, but the growing business is building an ever-larger footprint in the Flathead Valley.

Last week, ROAM Beyond opened its third location in Northwest Montana, at Stillwater Landing on the east shore of Stillwater Lake.

“Montana offers incredible and breathtaking experiences in one of our favorite places,” CEO and co-founder Corey Weathers said in a press release. “We’re thrilled to introduce travelers to Montana in a way that is respectful, aware, and allows us to become a responsible member of the community.”

The first two locations in Columbia Falls and Whitefish opened at the beginning of the year. Sites include fire pits, heated outdoor gathering spaces and the main attraction: tiny mobile camper units.

ROAM Beyond’s cabins utilize a one-of-a-kind design that combines comfort and simplicity. Cabins sleep three to four people with features such as heated bedding, full bathrooms and induction stoves.

The “glamp”-grounds strike a balance between connecting with nature and taking advantage of the luxuries of modern lodging.

“ROAM Beyond is reimagining what adventure travel can be,” Weathers said. “We’ve created a comfortable and physically distant but socially connected remote-living experience for travelers looking for outdoor adventure with indoor comforts.”

Theirs is a model that’s proven to be popular enough to warrant an expansion just a few months after the company relocated from Washington state to the Flathead Valley.

With the addition of the Stillwater Landing site, ROAM Beyond will be able to accomodate weekend and extended-stay reservations with offerings like yoga, a cafe, and an outdoor amphitheater.

ROAM Beyond is part of a new direction for Stillwater Landing, a storied locale where longtime owner Bill Montgomery spent almost half a century entertaining guests and welcoming float-plane pilots. According to the press release, “The Landing’s newest owners, Jordan Cohen and Xenia Guido, are committed to carrying on Bill’s legacy of community-driven entertainment and family-friendly activities.”

Reservations for ROAM Beyond’s destinations are available at www.roambeyond.travel/book.
