Libby is a compact mountain town that makes a great multi‑week base for active travelers — think boating on Lake Koocanusa, hiking and wildlife in the Kootenai National Forest, and dramatic Kootenai Falls right nearby, so your days off can feel like real getaways rather than being “stuck.”
If you want nearby places with more dining and services, Bonners Ferry, ID is about a 52‑mile drive and Eureka, MT about 69 miles — both within a reasonable day‑trip radius for errands or a change of scene.
