Everything was great!

I really enjoyed my stay at David's Ravalli County VRBO! Pay close attention to the directions that David provides. GPS will take you elsewhere. Location, location, location! There were breathtaking views 360 degrees around this property and convenient within 5 minutes of town. I had no idea that the Chief Joseph ranch was so close and being a huge Yellowstone fan, I had to at least check it out. David was an exceptional host and greeted me upon arrival. Since it was just me traveling, I really liked the layout of the studio...extremely cozy. Deer were on the property several times throughout my stay. Even though the weather was not exactly cooperative for hiking, the location of the studio is convenient to several trail heads. No need to rent or buy bear spray as there are a couple cans to borrow there. The kitchen was fully stocked and there is a washer and dryer downstairs for your use as well as a sauna. I would stay there again and I defintely recommend! 5 stars in my opinion!
