60th birthday celebration with my family

The views are breathtaking! We woke up early everyday, made coffee and took it all in. The location being halfway between Big Sky and Bozeman was perfect. The great room and the master bedroom were most impressive. There were a few minor issues, but management promptly answered and came to the property to resolve them.

The moment we pulled up to the Crazy Bear Ranch, we were in awe. The property sits up on a hill with views that were breathtaking. The house itself, inside and out, exceeded our expectations - we would book here again in a heartbeat. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare our food, and even the bathrooms had soaps, shampoo, hair dryers...etc. It was very clean and comfortable. Our favorite part was the back deck and the hot tub. We sat out here everyday and night to take in the views, and the only thing that would've made it even better would have been a hammock or chaise! Thank you for such a wonderful stay - we will be back!
Entrance to the Crazy Bear Ranch had the most beautiful backdrop at sunset.
Nothing like having my coffee with these views every morning.
Viewing the stars every night off of the back deck - I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful sky!

Beautiful home, outstanding view

Can I live here please?! We wanted to stay near Bozeman, but not too far, and this was the perfect location for an excellent Montana view. Deer and elk wandered daily, the spotting scope found more, the sound of the river below and the wildflowers blooming made this a relaxing retreat. The house is gorgeous and well laid out with plenty of space for our group of 8. This is the first time I’ve splurged this much on a house rental and it was absolutely worth it. I never wanted to leave!

We had an amazing time here at the Crazy Bear Ranch. If you like stunning views and complete peace and quiet, this is your vacation home. During our stay the entire area experienced a power outage and Allison from the management company delivered some firewood to us so we could keep the house warm. We received information via text about check-in, we received information during our stay to make sure that we were having a great time and letting us know if we had any issues whatsoever to reach out to them. Allison and her team are super friendly and helpful. The home is extremely comfortable with comfortable couches and comfortable beds…...and bean bags in the media room. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The Jacuzzi was perfect for those 30 to 40 days and nights. We were able to park in the garage so we didn’t have to be out in the rain/snow when unloading and loading. It truly was the perfect OK trip and the perfect home. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
