The best way to book is to call Chico reception and let them know you are calling for the "Sloan Wedding" room block. Inform the reception what kind of room you are looking for and how many people will be staying in the room, and they will advise on best available options. Please note that Chico books out months if not years in advance, for best room options BOOK EARLY!
Our recommendation would be to look at Airbnb's and Cabins available in Paradise Valley. If you don't mind driving than Livingston is a great option just about 30 minutes away.

The fastest way would be to enter through the north entrance by Gardiner. It's about 45 minutes drive from Chico Hot Springs, and then from there an hour or two to some of the famous sites. We recommend making a day out of it!
The nearest grocery store is Emigrant General store located about 8 minutes from Chico Hot Springs. The next largest grocery store would be Albertsons in Livingston about 30 minutes away. Also, the nearest liquor stores are located in Livingston. We recommend stopping in Bozeman for any liquor. Also, if you have never been to Montana, they do not sell liquor at grocery stores and will need to be purchased at a liquor store.
