Bring Your Horses, Refined Accommodations, Western Hospitality

Absolutely loved our stay here. It is warm and charming. Everything about this place is wonderful. It is a quality home and so comfortable. Val took care of us from beginning to end. So many thoughtful goodies as well as a few Christmas decorations, including a small tree. (She asked us if we would enjoy this before doing it). I will definitely be staying here again.

This great hideaway nestled in the loft of a quintessential classic barn is right out of a magazine! Everything is quality about this place! Val met us as we rolled in and couldn't have been more gracious. Everything we needed for our stay could be found in this loft condo. There is a great rustic custom built dining table not pictured that we used a lot. All of the cupboards, kitchen island, TV hutch, closet built-ins, dining table, etc were custom built by a local finisher! They were outstanding! The pictures on the site do not do it justice. There is a second bedroom with the hide-abed that also was not pictured. The views from the huge master bedroom took our breath away! I could go on and on! We can't wait to stay here again. It was a great experience. Thank you Val for making our stay one we will never forget!!!

Nothing but good and positive things to say about the Barn, the location, and the owner (Val). Upon arrival Val was waiting with a genuinely friendly smile and a loaf of perfectly moist, fresh banana bread. My wife, our 2.5 year old little girl and I had quite the adventure over a course of 7 days. We only wish we could have stayed longer. The location is quiet and feels secluded but you are only a stones throw from Downtown Bozeman, and it serves as a great base camp to explore in and around Bozeman. We were able to float the lower Madison for a half day of fishing, day trip to Gardiner and Yellowstone National Park, explore trails and waterfalls outside of Livingston, fish the Yellowstone river, visit the Museum of the Rockies, explore Hyalite Canyon and Reservoir, see Palisade falls, and much more, and still return every evening for "farm time" where our little one loved petting the resident barn cats, the horses and the baby cows and talking to "Ms. Val." We explored back roads and saw a herd of Elk that had come down from the nearby Bridger Mountains (which serve as an amazing backdrop view from the Barn). I could go on and on. If you're considering booking, just do it. You'll be thankful you did. It was perfect for our little family! Thanks again Val!

Where do I begin.... We pulled into Val’s magnificent ranch and from her very first friendly smile and warm greeting we knew we would have a wonderful month ahead. When we stepped into the apartment we were in for a further surprise. The space was large and beautifully appointed in a modern style with rustic touches throughout. (the photos can’t even begin to show how truly spectacular the place is) No expense was spared on the finishes. Firm mattress, soft linens, high end appliances, SAT t.v., and every conceivable kitchen gadget/appliance, etc., etc.!!!

As for the location it is perfect. The ranch is surrounded with mountain and valley views, grazing cattle, horses, sheep, and fields of hay and golden barley. It’s a short 15-20 minute drive to Bozeman or Belgrade, both towns full of great restaurants and many fun activities. We loved the ease of biking and hiking along many trails and roadways. I could go on and on but nothing I can say really does this perfect gem justice.

We will be returning for another visit in the near future. I now call Val my good friend. Her farm animals are loved like members of her own family and consequently that’s how she made us feel, too.

The Barn was an exceptional place to stay. Perfect for those who rather have peace and quite and a place to ride a horse. Hospitality was great from the owner.
