Overall we were grateful for the space. We did not have a lot of options in glendive for the size of our family. Unfortunately, we did have a few things that the host should consider: no extra toilet paper- pinching broken toilet seat-no sheets for the pull out bed-dirty pans in the cabinets-but most of all cat hair in every bed. We moved some family members to a different house because they are allergic to cats. This should be disclosed on the rental agreement. All of that being said, we would consider this property again depending on who is in our traveling party, because not all can stay there-cat allergy.

Cute place
The downstairs headboard might need moved away a tiny bit from the wall. It banged and vibrated against the wall whenever I repositioned myself, rolled over. (I slept alone.) :) It was great. Thanks.
