This was an idyllic oasis of cozy cabins with fans for cooling during hot days and cool Montana nights for sleeping. The breakfasts were tasty and the evening meal was excellent. Friendly staff and owner/cook/hostess.

It was a great stop for the night between Missoula and Glacier National Park. Comfortable room and a pleasant garden for enjoying a peaceful morning cup of coffee then a nice breakfast in the inn’s library. Not much in the area. Go to nearby Big Fork for things to do in the evening.

Our hostess was a friendly and informative person who gave great tips about the area’s attractions. She’s an amazing chef as well. Simon, the parrot, is a fine cohost who will welcome you and make some clever comments. I would recommend staying here.

Absolutely amazing property. Such a hidden gem. Allowed into our room early to get out of the rain as we were biking through. Given hot tea. Evening meal was delicious, as was the breakfast to get us started the next day. Kathleen is a gem of a host. I can't recommend this property enough for cozy, friendly, clean and comfortable atmosphere.

We did not know going in that this was an "unplugged" bed and breakfast. So, no TV, no AC, no USB ports for charging our phones or hearing aids. The room was dimly lit. We didn't realize we needed reservations for dining and found out that the restaurant is only open on Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights. There are no nearby restaurants, so you're pretty much on your own. It was roughly 60 miles to the Glacier NP, so not convenient. Parking is very limited; on the night we arrived there was no parking due to the restaurant business. Also, when we arrived, there was no one there to explain anything to us. There was internet, but it was slow and poor cell service. There is no closet but there is a rack to hang clothes. In short, the website description was lacking in many respects.
