Beautifully done. The host has thought of everything. So peaceful, except for that noisy creek! Just kidding. We loved the creek and the hammock next to it.Wonderful stay. Every detail has been attended to.
We enjoyed a nice two-night stay in Pony. Having never been to the area, it was fun to explore local trails and to meet others at the Pony bar. The accommodations are nice but there's no getting around it being more camping than glam - come prepared, especially for meals, as the options are limited nearby. Host is great and easy to communicate with.

Hi Eric, I'm glad you liked Pony — yes, it's a tiny town that doesn't have much to offer when it comes to dining ;-) Some think that's a good thing... I hope you come back soon so you get a chance to explore some more as there are tons of nature to see!
About the host
Hosted by Hanna Bernard
I am born and raised in Sweden (yep, I speak Swedish too!) so you might notice the Scandinavian touch at my glamping. I love to explore the mountains around Pony either on my horse, 4-wheeler or snowmobile, depending on the time of year. Come join me!
Why they chose this property
When you come here you understand why I live here. Pony is a tiny little town (and I use the term "town" loosely) with a population of around 130 people. It reminds me a lot of Sweden since it's nice and lush and plenty of room to roam.
What makes this property unique
The glamping site! It sits right on the North Willowcreek creek and you can see Hollow Top Mountain from your deck! It's peaceful but still only a short 5-8 minute walk to the famous Pony Bar where you often can catch a live band while you enjoy their cheap beverages. Less than an hour to Bozeman or Butte and 30 minutes to Ennis (fly fishing capitol of the world!). And less than a 2 hour beautiful scenic drive to the West Yellowstone entrance.
