This was our 1st VRBO stay and what a great experience. Deer Haven was absolutely perfect for our 21 day stay. Clean, comfortable and the views of the mountains are stunning. We enjoyed being able to get close to the family of deer.

This was hands down one of the best VRBO stays we’ve ever had! The host truly thought of every little detail—it felt more like staying in a luxury five-star hotel than a vacation rental. The home was beautiful, spotless, incredibly comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need.One of our favorite parts was watching the deer and their adorable fawns right in the yard. It was like having our own private petting zoo! The sunrises and sunsets over the Montana scenery were absolutely breathtaking and made every morning and evening unforgettable.The backyard was perfect for relaxing, grilling, and spending time together. Every space in and around the home was inviting and made us feel completely at home.Honestly, I could have moved into this house! We loved every minute of our stay and didn’t want to leave. If you’re looking for the perfect place to experience the beauty of Montana, don’t hesitate to book this home. We can’t wait to come back!

Loved it!

The Deer Haven house was spotless, modern, and incredibly comfortable. Everything felt thoughtful and well cared for, from the layout to the little touches throughout. Christi was a fantastic host—super communicative and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great stay. The cornhole setup and game cabinet were a fun bonus, and the whole space gave us a chance to truly relax. We especially loved seeing the deer wander by just after sunset! The house also felt very safe, which we appreciated. Everyone in our group kept saying how much they loved the place. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Hidden Gem

We booked this house because of a last minute change of plans. Wow is an understatement! It’s beautiful. Incredibly clean and literally has everything you need. Every kitchen appliance, gadget, etc. You won’t need to leave! Christi responded ASAP when we needed her. And the grounds and backyard are stunning. You will not be disappointed!

You won't want to leave !!

Deer Haven is a great place to stay. This is my first experience with any vacation rental, so I didn't quite know what to expect. The experience was fabulous ! ! The house was perfect. Everything was new, with high end appliances, and it was SO clean. The outside area was as incredible as the inside. It was private, quiet, and our host thought of EVERYTHING !! All the amenities and little touches made us feel right at home. Fresh flowers and plants, a TV in every room, a coffee bar to die for, and a kitchen with every appliance you could want. The backyard is fenced and very private with flowers, garden, a waterfall, and plenty of covered seating. Games, a yard, and lounge chairs. There were 3 different ways to BBQ/cook with a huge prep area to make a feast. As advertised, we even saw deer everyday just outside the windows. Bedrooms were clean, and bedding was so comfortable and fluffy. We had plenty of room, and to top it all off we were not required to change sheets, wash towels, or clean up. We did of course clean up but it was nice not to have to take the time on our way out to have to do laundry. Our host was very available, and we felt like we could contact her if we had a problem with anything. The house is absolutely beautiful, and we would highly recommend staying there and we will of course stay again if we are in the area. Just a wonderful experience all the way around.

This property was awesome! We were only there for two nights and wish we could have stayed all week. This is the most well-appointed property we've experienced. Every last detail and comfort was thought of by the hosts. Every possible kitchen utensil, pots/pans, sharp knives and baking supplies was there...and many extras that felt like treats: spices, ketchup, jam, an impressive coffee/tea bar complete with espresso, coffee beans, assorted teas and everything you might want to add to your drink. The house was very clean and everything in it felt brand new. The back yard was fantastic. The fence made it feel private/cozy and the gazebo was awesome. It shaded us from the sun and also kept us dry when it rained. With lights and the fire table, we were able to chat out there at night as well. We would highly recommend this location for your next trip. It was very comfortable and relaxing!
