The Best MT Getaway
The house was absolute perfect for our family; very comfortable and well appointed. The neighborhood was fantastic and so peaceful it is also close to Chico Hot Springs & Spa and The Old Saloon. Beautiful views and "wide open spaces!"

The Perfect Get Away
The perfect Montana mountain escape.This home offered a truly peaceful retreat with sweeping views from the front porch that seemed to stretch forever. It’s decorated with exceptional taste, creating a luxurious yet comfortable feel throughout. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, making it easy to settle in and enjoy our stay. A grocery store was conveniently located about 20 minutes away, and Yellowstone’s north entrance was just a short, scenic 30-minute drive. We found no shortage of beautiful hiking trails nearby and spent our evenings soaking in the quiet and the awe-inspiring Big Sky.

A few issues...
During our stay there were a couple issues. First, upon check-in the dishwasher had to be replaced so we were without a dishwasher for one day. That wasn't a big deal. Second, the AC went out completely on the top floor. The upstairs would get into the upper 80s. After reaching out to property management, they did little to help out (we understand there was little they could do). We requested that at a minimum, we should get some form of discount. Spending well over $800 per night, you should have AC. They said they would discuss with the property owner and let us know. We never heard back. I had called the property management office twice more and left voicemails, never to be called back. It was almost like they just wanted this issue to go away.
The place is great but the way the management company handled this was disappointing to say the least. For that much $$ you would think they would offer some sort of refund since the 2yr old and parents had to sleep in 85+ degrees every night.

Montana stay
Great location! A bit short on supplies, TP no soaps for showers, no paper towels, also only 1 hair dryer for all. Never travel with one anymore since mist supply. These are no complaints just reminders to stockup.
