We were so fortunate to find such a lovely home. Thank you for the beautiful poinsettia you provided for the holiday season. We had a wonderful Christmas and the nativity scene was the perfect touch for celebrating Christ's birthday. It has snowed every day since we arrived. Coming from Texas we can truly say we had a "White Christmas".

You have a beautiful and immaculate house here. Our relatives stayed at Marina Cay and were insanely jealous of our good fortune. Thank you.

Thank you! We had a lovely family reunion in the Swan Nest - We came from Seattle, Portland, and a few towns in Montana. This house was perfect for our gathering, and we loved the beautiful yard. A doe and her fawn have visited regularly and we enjoyed watching them munch on the greenery. Forest fires have filled the skyline with a smoky haze but the view was spectacular!

Spectacular! We really loved it here. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home. Couldn't have been any better! We had a doe and two fawns in the yard this morning. We enjoyed everything here so much. Thanks!

A hailstorm came through around evening and knocked out the power to the house so we went outside to sit on the front porch. We talked and watched the lightening storm over the mountain from evening until well into the night. Of all the exciting and beautiful adventures we had here in Montana, sitting on your front porch that night is the memory we are most fond of. Thank you. God bless!

Truly a place where God dropped one of his many tears on this wonderful place in Montana! Thank you for having us. Your attention to detail really shows. Some of the best workmanship I've ever seen.

What a blessing - to be surrounded by such beauty. Our stay was so restful and comfortable. We took many moments eating, visiting, and fellowshipping on the deck. We went to the parade, floated down the river, drove around to see the local beauty - wow. Thank you for sharing your home so that we could experience these things. These memories of this past week will always be with us.

We have had such a good time staying in your lovely home this past week. We played horse shoes and spent time in the hammock. This is a great location. We made several trips into Glacier and enjoyed the surrounding towns. I shall recommend your beautiful home to my daughter and her family.

We had a wonderful time in your comfortable home. Enjoyed the tranquil setting - hammock, swaying trees, deer. Kudos to Ernie and the whole family on such exquisite home construction!
