Serene convenience

Ox Yoke Inn was one of the most serene places we've ever stayed - and still had all the modern conveniences you could want. Janine and Rowdy made us feel very welcome for my special birthday vacation. The detached (and private) hot tub & sauna room (complete with any CD you could possibly want to hear) was heavenly, and breakfast and coffee on the 2nd-story deck watching the deer at the salt-lick is a great way to start the day. Take the virtual tour on the website. The guest apartment is separate from the main house, above a large garage (which has a ping-pong table). The place is immaculate, with lovely welcoming touches, including all the information you could want about the park and surrounding area. Kitchen nicely thought-out, very easy to use. Drive a few minutes to get to Glacier. Would recommend to friend/family and return without hesitation!

Owner response:Thankyou for your great review. It was certainly a pleasure having you visit. It is with much pride and joy that we do all that we can to making your time in Montana a most pleasurable experience.

This is a wonderful place to celebrate a special time in your life. Jim and I celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary here, with our children, and it was wonderful. Janine and Zach are great people and they make sure you have everything you need to make you feel at home. Rowdy keeps watch over the place and is a wonderful dog. We hope to be able to return some time in the future. Thank you for a wonderful 50th.

Our expectations were high for our first visit to Glacier, but they were certainly exceeded thanks to your wonderful hospitality and lovely guest home. Provided with plush towels and helpful tourist literature-we were so very comfortable and wanted for nothing. The hot tub room and sauna were amazing added touches. We certainly recommend this place to our friends and we hope to visit again soon.

We were not ready to leave!! This is the most beautiful vacation home we have ever stayed in. You took such care with every detail. Montana is beautiful!, but it was your hospitality and the truly "pristine cedar retreat" that made our time here so relaxing and memorable. We hope to return.

The Ox Yoke Inn is a FANTASTIC place to unwind, relax, and vacation. Only 8 miles to the south entrance of Glacier National Park, and Jim and Janine are the best hosts you could possibly have! If you need information, advice, or even a bonfire, they will accomodate your every wish. And Rowdy is the added bonus!! My wife sums it up best in one word--PERFECTION!!

Jim & Janine-We have had a wonderful time and have much enjoyed our stay here at the Ox Yoke Inn. We found much needed respite not only in the wilderness of the park, but also in this lovely cabin. Your hospitality was warm and thoughtful throughout our time here. Thanks to "Rowdy" for his "tour guide" and protective nature- he even followed me (to the best of his ability) on my morning run. Take care!

You have a lovely place-we really enjoyed our stay. We always felt very welcome returning home each night. Besides the cozy lving room, the kids like the hot tub and especially the ping-pong table! Yor hospitality and helpfulness was also very much appreciated. I'm sure we will all look back at our vacation at Glacier National Park and the Ox Yoke Inn with fondness.

What a superb way to get out of the 110 degree weather in Arizona! The walks with Rowdy and watching him fish in the creek were great. We would have to look far and wide for the hospitality we received. Your kindness and thoughtfulness will always be remembered! Come see us in Surprise!

Wow! You guys exceeded our expectations in every way. Your gorgeous home, all the extra goodies you provided (especially enjoyed the fruit bowl & coffee), the superb hospitality. I could go on & on!! Thnks Jim for helping Lou with his glasses. We really enjoyed the hot tub, the amazing laundry service, the friendly "rody licks," the bonfire, the bluegrass & country music, etc., etc. This is gorgeous country and I have no doubt we'll be back Save our room.

Jim & Janine, Your hospitality has really helped to make this a wonderful stay. While we have enjoyed riding horses, rafting, shoppping, exploring, etc., it was very nice to return "home." It certainly beat a motel room by miles. Then we had the added pleasure of visiting with you and getting to know you. This has been a very pleasant time for us and we hope to return. You're welcome at our house in Illinois. --Jim Bush Jim & Janine- We really enjoyed our stay, enjoyed the adventures each day, and njoyed getting to know you. You made us feel very welcome. Before you visit Belize or Costa Rica, come see us in Illinois! --Anita Bush I loved the hot tup. The deck is lovely and peaceful. Rowdy never barked which was nice. I got to see my first Blue Moon here. I would watch t.v. from the loft sometimes. This is beautiful country. The bear video that Zach filmed was amazing!!! I wish I could keep the rocking chair in the living room; it was just my size! Jim and Janine were great people to be around. I hope to come back again sometime; I'm counting that I will. I love the house too. --Ashley Huddson
