Peaceful getaway
We have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The house is well appointed and large enough for a family or a group of friends. It is peaceful and you'll occasionally see elk and deer roaming the property.

Great!
I was amazed at the facility. The facility. It provided all the amenities you would expect and even more. Hot tub was manageable once we got it cool down and the grandkids did love it. Found a mouse in the sticky trap in the kitchen which was quite stinky though. Also there was a rat outside in the woodpile. Overall, I enjoyed the location and the facility was more than normally expected. Rating it very well

Painted Rocks Area
My daughter and I stayed over Christmas weekend. It snowed which is no big news but it just made the area even more beautiful. The house has everything you need except your food. I’ve stayed in many rentals and this was the most well equipped. Wood for the fireplace and wood stove was plentiful which was good, it’s been very cold at night. The main house has a Queen size and 2 twins which is a little hard to tell in the description. The bedding needs to be updated but the bed was comfortable. We went to relax and this was a great place to forget about stress. We saw 4 deer each day. They were 2 elk herds close to town. The main cabin is very pretty and homey! We will be back here in Spring or Summer!

Everything went perfect, very clean, well stocked with essentials and views were amazing. Had the best family vacation ever. Especially loved the dinning room table where cards were played and puzzles put together after playing all day in the snow in the front yard.

Family getaway for Thanksgiving
This was the perfect getaway for our family! With 3 cabins (Main, and 2 guest cabins, there was plenty of room for our family to spread out, relax and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. We were able to cross country ski, hot tub while the snow fell upon us, go sledding, enjoy an all-day outdoor fire, and enjoy some late November fly fishing. ;-) The host was very responsive to any and all questions. The kitchen is stocked with everything that you need to settle in for several days. We could have stayed for a month. ;-) My kids had a blast! It's a perfect getaway if you're looking to explore, relax, play games, fish, hunt, etc... This place is ideal if you're looking for a quiet getaway for your group. Clean, comfortable, relaxing!

It was our first time in Montana and it did not disappoint. Gary was wonderful to work with, the property/cabin was beautiful and watching the elk and deer right outside the window every morning and afternoon from the dining room. They were literally right off the porch in the yard.

Perfect Family Retreat
This was the perfect property for our 4 generation family gathering. There was room enough to spread out and ample space for all to gather together as well. The cabin is so comfortable, thoroughly supplied, and decor absolutely perfect. The kids loved all the outdoor space to play in. The adults loved evening in the pavilion and around the campfire. Gary was probably the best host I’ve worked with...prompt and detailed in his communication. There are countless places to hike, swim, fish and kayak close by. I highly recommend this place for a retreat from the hustle and bustle of life.
