Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Casey's home! The property was beautiful and home was spotless. We felt very welcome and loved dining on the back porch. Communication was great and Casey went above and beyond by providing us with a tube of gorilla glue to fix our daughter's sandle. Great location as well.

My family came to stay for the holidays and the house was perfect!! It exceed my expectations. When we arrived the house was decorated for the holidays which gave a it a warm and cozy environment!!..The floor plan is an open concept so you can enjoy the family while preparing meals.. The kitchen is large and roomy and well stocked with everything you need to cook with. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and well appointed…nice laundry room to do wash.Overall the home is warm and inviting, well appointed, very clean and tastefully decorated… The homeowners take great pride in their home which is very obvious once you enter the home. The home is located in a peaceful area. The owners are welcoming and if you have any questions they get back to you very quickly…so if you are looking for a home away from home … this is the place… we will be renting it again in the near future!! Thank you for allowing our family to stay in your beautiful home!

Amazing

First off, the house and yards are beautiful! I can't say enough about how peaceful it was to sit out on the back deck with coffee in the morning or playing cards or darts in the afternoon. The check in process was seamless and the hosts were most helpful with small requests. Next time I am back in the area, I will definitaly try to book this same place. Thank you so much to the Hornadays!

Beautiful Home in the Bitterroot Valley

The house is located in a small, quiet group of nice homes on a short, private road. It was very well kept, clean, and has great views from the front porch, den, and backyard deck. Casey, the host, was great; very responsive and helpful with questions that arose.

An unanticipated trip

When suddenly in need of a place to stay we stumbled upon this place. It is located on a hillside in a small neighborhood with beautiful views of the valley just below. Loved the landscaping, decor and inspirations throughout. It had all the comforts of home and everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. We would definitely stay here if finding ourselves in the area again!

Peaceful fall get-away

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Creekside Tranquility. It provided a fabulous base from which to "catch up" with our daughter who lives in Missoula. Very nice space, well equipped, peaceful, quiet, beautiful landscape and convenient - it met all our needs. We enjoyed some nice meals and good conversation in a wonderful setting. Casey was very attentive to the few questions that popped up during our stay. We definitely plan to return!
