A ranch just outside the city did not disappoint

We rented the three bedroom ranch so we could get away from Michigan and our kids who live local could do a staycation with us. The Ranch was big with lots of seating and so well stocked for a family vacation. We cooked home many nights. We used hot tub and walked grounds daily. The creek ran strong after some rain and snow high up in mountains. Short drive to canyons and mountains. The bedding was so soft and comfy. We replaced some of the consumables as we are big cleaners. Property owner was incredibly nice. We felt cared for and safe in this property. We would suggest you stay here too.

Bozeman

Everything was described. The only problem we had was no information about the gates to the property. We didn't know the gates weren't unlocked in the early mornings. We figured it out, there is a key on the keyring to a back gate (which we didn't know existed until then.) Overall a very comfortable place to stay. The kitchen has everything you need, just add your groceries.

Beautiful property, great house

The house was the perfect size for our family getaway to Bozeman. It had plenty of space, big kitchen and dining area and several seating areas around the house. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. There was a wedding there one night so there was a little noise but totally bearable. And it was fun to see everyone having a great time. The location is close to downtown Bozeman where there is shopping, restaurants, parks and breweries. Theresa the host was great and always readily available for anything we needed!

Wonderful cozy house in beautiful location

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was roomy and had everything we needed. Stocked kitchen, cozy beds, great hot tub, and a back room for my husband to work from. Wifi was good. Location was great, not too far from town, and in a beautiful location., with great views, and deer. Wonderful walking trail from the property next to the stream. Teresa was great, would definitely stay again.

What an amazing property!!! So so beautiful, calm and comforting. We had an amazing time at "Rocken TJ Ranch". The grounds were amazing and our host Teresa was so nice and accommodating for any and all needs and she was easily reachable. We would stay here again for sure. The beds were comfortable and the house was homey. Definitely will come back again.

Rockin' TJ Ranch in Bozeman, MT

Our stay at the Rockin' TJ Ranch in Bozeman, MT was spectacular from the moment we arrived until check out. We were pleasantly surprised that the house and property acceded our expectations. It was so much more beautiful than the pictures could even capture. The grounds were immaculately kept and beyond beautiful. The house was just perfect for our family, very comfortable, and lots of things to see and do on the property during our stay. The location was very convenient to everything we wanted to see around Bozeman, and close enough to drive to Yellowstone for a day trip. The host was so nice throughout our stay. She was very easy to reach if we had questions, let us know cool places to see, but allowed us our privacy during our stay. We will be staying at the Rockin' TJ Ranch again for sure when we visit Montana next time. Thank you for the excellent treatment! Cindy Manzione Arizona

Beautiful property

Some updating could be done in the kitchen, maybe new more modern small appliances. One type of flooring in main living , kitchen and dining would modernize as well. The hot tub was wonderful and clean. The clothes washer had to be replaced while we were there and I appreciated that he took care of that so swiftly. Overall, the property and our wedding event was perfect!!!!

Wonderful!

We stayed at this cabin November 13th - November 20th, 2019. Check in was very laid back and relaxed. The cabin is situated on property used for various glamorous events and Teresa has done an amazing job making this place feel like your vary own private resort with all the special little touches around the property. We enjoyed morning walks every day on the property and every day we found a new little vignette that she had set up. Whether it was one of the pretty archways used for weddings, various swings you would find, or seating areas, everywhere you looked it was perfectly picturesque! The cabin was true to the pictures shown on VRBO, however the front entry to the kitchen and living room areas are hardwood floors NOT white carpet anymore. I appreciated this update because I was worried about accidentally tracking in stuff from outside. The only white carpeted areas are the hallway to the bedrooms and the bedrooms themselves. Bedrooms were nice and spacious, plenty of storage room for all of your things! The cabin is currently very well stocked! Spices, condiments, hair products (she even had hairdryers in BOTH bathrooms! Ladies, you know how nice that is!) It has some quirks, but nothing out of the ordinary for a well used home. Plus this is a cabin, and what cabin doesn't have its cute little quirks?! We were perfectly comfortable the entire time! TV was tricky to figure out at first, but if you can operate a smart phone you can figure it out in 10 mins. Hot tub was amazing! Extremely clean and very big. It was so much fun to relax and stargaze while taking a soak. The office for her business is located in the attached garage, but it didn't bother us at all. Actually, it was handy having her and a few of her staff close by now and then to answer questions we had. Everyone was very warm and welcoming. What she has done with this property and how she operates her business is extremely impressive. 100% guarantee we will be back! Thank you again Teresa!

Beautiful setting and wonderful accommodations!

We rented this charming and well equipped house for 6 family members who were attending our daughter’s wedding at the Rocking TJ Ranch. Everything was perfect! My family loved staying in the house and found the beds very comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. They also made good use of the awesome hot tub on back porch as well as the bikes available to renters. Teresa keeps the property spotless and she is a lovely, friendly and very helpful person. She gave everyone total privacy but could easily be reached if she were needed. The house sits near beautiful aspen trees and very close to Hyalite creek which runs through the property. Peaceful meadows and gorgeous views of the Bridger Mountains make this spot extra special. And, while you have peace and quiet in a country setting, the heart of downtown Bozeman is only a short drive away ( about 4 Miles and a straight shot down Huffine which turns into Main Street ) . We highly recommend this lovely house and beautiful property and send thanks to Teresa for making our daughter’s wedding week such s special one in every way!

Montana's Best

Teresa and the Staff at the Rockin’ TJ Ranch were amazing, fun and helpful; checking in on us daily. Teresa provided us with dining and entertainment advice for the area as well as ideas and routes for some beautiful motorcycle rides. Our favorite was the Brewery Follies which she provided contacts and reservations for; it was the best comedy show ever. The grounds at the Rockin’ TJ Ranch are impeccable with a beautiful trout stream and the mountain views are amazing in all directions, the home provided all amenities, comfortable accommodations and the event venue is amazing.

Great Property

The property is good but communication with the owner/manager was terrible. Right up to check in, the only time I heard from her was for payment. She did not respond to any messages and we finally were told by someone in the wedding party that the door would be open. Terrible communication. Won’t be working with her again.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa Ax

Montana is my home. I grew up in Kalispell Montana, Glacier Park country. Summer and winter outdoor recreation is second nature: horseback riding, hiking, camping, biking, river and lake water sports, alpine and nordic skiing, sledding, ice skating and snowmobiling. I moved to Bozeman to attend college and found more sunshine and all my favorite sports and night life right here and stayed. I am a mother of two and now a grandmother. I have worked hard for what I have built and am proud to offer my home to you.

Why they chose this property

I love this house and property! The view is spectacular and the creek front is envied by all. The house is warm and friendly. It is a peaceful haven not allowed by many homes this close to town. I also owned a landscaping company for 28 years and this property is a now a reflection of that skill.The meadows and lawns are like a golf courses. As well with my detailed nature, the house is clean and organized. You will find just about everything you need here.

The transformation of this property has been a labor of love and my hope is to share it with you for your vacation!
