What an awesome stay for our honey moon. House was beautiful, lake was tranquil despite road construction. Communication with owner was great, even after locking ourselves out at 10 pm on Wednesday night. Would stay again!

Beautiful house and great location. Very accommodating. Power went out the first night and construction on the road made it difficult to get to, but these things were no fault of the owner. Overall great house.

The house was amazing, the Road construction In front wasn’t… so loud, so confusing, super dirty and we were working while we stayed here, so we were late a lot.There is no grill, even tho is says there’s one, and no functioning hot tub, it was still in the box when we got there.Those are two things I usually won’t choose a rental if they don’t have them.The kitchen was well appointed. And gorgeous, the house was beautiful, but no screens on any windows except the doors… so sleeping was stuffy. And the blinds don’t fit the window in our room so had to get creative.Meet the owners and they are very very sweet.Just a couple things and this would be perfect. The road construction is just what it is.summer in Montana.
