We had a great stay and really enjoyed the view and patio. Shannon and Pete were very accommodating and always responded right away. There were a lot of games and the beds were comfortable. Both bedrooms had sinks which were amazing. Great shower too! It was so delightful to be surprised by delicious sugar cookies upon our arrival

We're so glad you enjoyed the view, patio, and comfortable beds, and that the little sugar cookie surprise added something special to your arrival. It's great to hear the games, the sinks in both bedrooms, and the shower all added to a smooth, comfortable stay. We work hard to respond quickly and make sure everything is ready for our guests, so it means a lot to know that came through. Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful 5-star review, it truly made our day. Hope you and your family have a chance to come back sometime soon.

Very adorable tiny home. Loved the sinks in each bedroom besides the bathroom. Beds were very comfortable. Cozy livingroom. Great location near the Big Arm campground site where we spent hours on paddle boards and kyaks. Thanks for a lovely stay.Janelle Penaherrera

We had a lovely stay here! The place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and an unexpected bonus was the amazing well water! We’re from Washington State and are spoiled with good tap water, but I honestly thought the water here was even better.The location was very convenient—close to Flathead Lake with quick highway access to all the places we wanted to explore. Unfortunately, we visited during a time when smoke from surrounding fires really limited the visibility. It was a shame because we’ve heard how beautiful Montana is in the summer, and we wish we could have experienced more of those distant landscapes and hills.My only suggestion would be to add a little more surface space where possible. It’s a very small residence, so understandably there’s only room for the necessities. As a family of four, we would have appreciated a table where we could sit together for dinner rather than using the folding tables. A little shelving in the bathroom for toiletries would also go a long way.The hosts left us delicious cookies, which was such a thoughtful touch—the kids especially loved them! Overall, a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place in a very convenient location.

What a lovely review to read—thank you! We're so glad the place felt clean, cozy, and comfortable, and that the well water made such an impression. The location near Flathead Lake with easy highway access is a real perk, and we're sorry the smoke limited the views during your visit—Montana summers really do have so much to offer. It's wonderful to hear the cookies were a hit with the kids too. So glad your stay was clean, comfortable, and convenient overall.

Delightful stay. Lots of country charm. We arrived late and were grateful to see everything clean and easily accessible. Comfortable beds and pillows. I'm particular about my bed and these were great. Lots of extra blankets that I wasn't afriad the let my littles snuggle in. The host lets you choose a painted rock to take home. They were all so cute we had difficulties deciding which one we wanted. The girls chose a little cottage with butterflies. Would stay again.

Lauri and her family were a delight to host. Communicated quickly when needed. They all were respectful of the property and left the place in spectacular shape when they left. Would gladly host again. I am glad they found the perfect painted rock to take as a souvenir.
