Where do I begin, first off the property is awesome, peaceful and beautiful. BUT we got there and the heaters (3) did not work, it was a very cold sleep. The next day we noticed that we had no coffee or utensils, we were given coffee and utensils. We were given a heater but that still left the bathroom freezing. We only had 1 facecloth which was corrected. Later the first day we found that the only water coming in the shower was scalding hot, we could not shower. When we attempted to watch TV it wouldn't connect to the internet so there was no TV to watch. The next morning we wanted to have coffee and the coffee was broken and wouldn't brew. The final thing was that the breaker would blow everytime we used the microwave. Despite all of this we would definately go back but we'd make sure they verify that everything works

The staff in the office was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. Our cabin was very nice, although I didn't like the sheer curtains in the bathroom and the water in the shower came out in a trickle. The property could use a good cleaning out - there was trash and things that should have been carted away all over. The lone bison made me sad as they are herd creatures, and she has to spend her life alone as her only other companion died a few years ago. There are deer that apparently live on the property, as well as horses, cows, and pigs. There are several decent restaurants fairly close, and the town of Kalispell isn't very far. The scenery is beautiful. It's about an hour and a half to Glacier National Park.

Quiet and great concept. Cleanliness needs to be improved at the dining room and in the cabin. Breakfast for our table mates was basically inedible with burned and dried out sausages. My griddle cakes were thin and crunchy compared to the nice cakes on another’s plate. Manager receptive to hearing about the cabin cleanliness. Did not have the heart to add on complaints about the food.

Fun place to stay.

We stayed 3 nights in the tipi. It was fun and very comfortable. PLENTY of blankets were provided. Short walk to the porta potty. Longer walk to shower house and flush potty. Nice big fire ring. Security provided by Natasha the bison. Breakfast was good and made fresh.

Bed was comfortable with plenty of blankets for the chilly morning. Cool ranch atmosphere, but could be so much more. To get to the bathroom/shower you have to walk about 10-15 min. There is a porta potty closer, but I don't consider that "glamping". Also, there are led lights along the path to the bathroom to light the way at night , however only about 1/4 of them are working, so it's pretty dark! Mostly though, as beautiful as the ranch is-there is a lot of useless trash (metal, wood/vehicles/etc) laying around everywhere. The breakfast was good-a little late for early riserers. A good clean-up would help. Overall, I'd probably go again, but wouldn't expect as much.

The listing said there was a tv. There was, but we couldn’t get any channels and the office was closed the first evening we tried to use it. The bedding was many years old and needs updating. The pillows were horrible, old, lumpy. They need to be thrown out and replaced. There needs to be more lighting in the bathroom and a mirror above the sink. It took me 10 minutes to put my contacts in because I simply couldn’t see. There were no wash clothes in the bathroom. We removed the “air freshener” right away as I’m allergic to scents like that, plus it smelled horrible. Also, I believe when air freshener type devices are used that they are trying to cover up existing odors, which I’m sure was the case. We only stayed there for 1 out of the 3 nights booked and chose to stay at a much nicer hotel in town. We lost a lot of money booking this place and obviously wouldn’t ever stay there again. It was a BIG waste of money. The description was extremely misleading. A refund offer would be appreciated.

we were unaware of the restaurant not being opened one reason we picked is, so we did not have to drive more than we had to. It is not handicap accessible so i had to drive my mom closer to the bathroom and staff was not friendly about me doing that. I signed up for 3 people and at the last-minute my sister decided to join us. there was no one there to tell them that. We decide it was too far from hospital and decided to move into town, so i called to see if we could get our money back due to the circumstances and that is when they made me feel like i was a criminal for not telling them my sister would be with us. I will never go back, and I will not recommend this place to anyone. and I know a lot of people.

Great cozy cabin to glamp

My stay was incredible. It was such a cute little ranch. The staff I met was super nice, super helpful. Arriving was a bit overwhelming because I didn’t know my way but I was guided and helped really fast. It was super comfortable, extra cozy. I didn’t expect the room to be squeaky clean because it’s a ranch but overall it was a great stay. Seeing Natasha(the bison) every morning was really cool.

The setting was nice. I enjoyed the communal aspect of the TP and tent area. Met some nice people there. However, the I didn’t like how the owners kept their animals. The horse pen, cow pen, and buffalo pen were overcrowded and not well kept. Too many animals in too small a space.

Rustic but comfortable.

This place has so much potential but the owner is over her head. We stayed in a teepee expecting a glamping experience as the description says. When you crawl into the teepee there are two beds & a bedside table. They tell you there is a battery operated lantern but they evidently don’t check their batteries regularly. Ours was dead. Since you do have to walk quite a way to the “bath house”, no flashlight is a problem. Lucky for us, while we were there they were having electric problems at the bathhouse so they opened one of the cabins for us to use. The beds were comfortable but go prepared for camping, not glamping. Breakfast wasn’t great but better than most hotels, you get to order from a menu.
