Our stay was wonderful! Dan was great to work with when we had any questions. The house is set in a stunning area with breathtaking views of the Rocky's. It was very clean and felt very welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Great renters, repeat customers. Left the place in great shape and welcome back anytime.
Thanks
This is such a peaceful place with a wonderful view. The bed is very comfortable and the house quite cozy. We took two great hikes and it was an easy drive to the trailhead from here.
Very clean and comfortable home. Tastefully decorated in lodge/western furnishings. Jaw dropping views and close proximity to Ear Mountain recreation area . It's like a mini GNP, without the crowds. We would stay here again.
It was so beautiful and very relaxing. I wish we could have spent more time there enjoying the views. Unfortunately are swim meet ran long and we didn't get to be there as much as we would have liked. Highly recommend this stay.

The renters left the place in excellent shape, as if they hadn’t spent much time there. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them back. It’s nice when people leave things in the kind of shape that you’d treat your own property.
This place is excellent and exactly what I was looking for. It really is a million dollar view. The house is very clean and well maintained, everything worked as it should, like appliances and television, and Wi-Fi. Good water pressure and quick to get hot water.Will definitely plan on staying here again as soon as possible.
The views are truly beautiful from this wonderful retreat. If you are looking for a quiet vacation spot to enjoy nature and take in the scenery, you will not find a more peaceful location.
This place is perfect for a getaway from the city. Although close enough to a small town that you can still get groceries and other things easily. The hosts were amazing at communicating before the trip and we had no problems during our stay!

Exactly what my family needed. The house and the furnishings made for a wonderful stay. The only thing better than the accommodations was the stunning landscape!

Dear Shawn and family,
We're glad you had a good experience, even though the weather wasn't always sunny. We would be happy to have you back again.
Best Regards,
Diana and Dan
We couldn’t have asked for a more gracious host or beautiful property! The views, the location, and all around peacefulness of this spot is second to none. It was exactly what we needed to relax and recharge!

We were happy to meet you, (our policy is to give the vacation renters their privacy, unless they want to meet us), and look forward to your return!
We stayed at this property to use it as a base camp for a day trip to Glacier National Park and relax for a few days. The house is well stocked with everything that you could need and the view out the living room windows is amazing! Thanks again for sharing your property with us!

Thank you for choosing us! Glad it was up to your standards and you had a lovely stay.
Lovely home near Teton Pass Ski Area. Fall Wedding brought us to the area. We took a day trip to Glacier easy traveling from property. Stock up in nearby Choteau or Great Falls if flying in. Nice decor, nicely furnished. Hosts are great.

Thank you Irene, we're pleased you had a good stay with entertainment from the wedding and Glacier, one of our favorite places on earth.
Everything about this property by far exceeded our expectations! The pictures don’t do the scenery justice, it’s absolutely breathtaking, the perfect place to have a relaxing vacation and plenty of exploring to be done. Our hosts were amazing as well and helpful. Highly recommended vacation destination! The Gockowski Family, Willow River, MN

Wonderful Vacation. Nice Location For Day Trips. Very Peaceful Place.
The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I liked that everything is labeled, organized, and clean. The mountain views were spectacular. I'm not sure I have ever been to a location so quiet. When the wind is calm you can hear the horses goofing around. Very special place with very nice hosts and community. Can't wait to return.

Thank you for your review and we hope you can return, too!
Very pleased with the house. It was perfect for us. Well stocked, clean, and nicely decorated. Owner is very attentive and helpful. The view is absolutely beautiful! House is located near the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Lots to do!
My husband and I stayed at the Homestead for a couple of nights and as soon as we pulled up, it was already more than we had imagined! The view you get alone is worth every penny. Everything was so clean and all the necessities were there which made our trip go even smoother than planned. It’s such a cozy place and the small touches truly put it above most other stays! We would certainly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area and we hope to stay at this beautiful property again in the future.

Thank you Dale! It was a pleasure having you two as vacation renters in our place for the last month! Excellent guests I would rent over and over to. Hope the rest of your trip went well without incident.
This small neighborhood close to base of mountains was perfect for us. Relatives were staying nearby and we have relatives who live nearby as well. The house has steep stairs so wouldn’t be good for people with physical issues. I hope to come back to this house. It was well equipped for everything we needed.

Thank you Nora, for your review. We're pleased you were happy with your stay and hope to have you back again.
We stayed here for a week. It was very clean, with all the amenities you can think of. It was nice having a washer/dryer after over a week on the road. Diana & Dan were wonderful to deal with when we had a couple of self-imposed problems. We were able to get ahold of them right away and they were very kind & patient. We very much appreciated that! We highly recommend this place!

About the host
Hosted by Dan Arnold
Unlike most vacation rentals, we did not buy this property. This is a family owned property passed down through 4 generations to the present owner, whose great grandparents homesteaded the ranch in 1919 raising both sheep and cattle. Originally, it was the Bar-Lazy K-Triangle, but since we no longer raise livestock, it's known as the Moore Homestead. There is a sign inside the gated entrance, stating the name of the property, to help visitors identify where they are. The area is a Hunter's Paradise, but there is no hunting allowed on the property, although we are extremely close to state and federal lands where hunting is allowed. There is a meat processor in town. For the fisherman, the waterways have cutthroat (catch and release only), rainbow, brook and brown trout. The lakes and reservoirs have perch, walleye and trout. Hundreds of miles of trails in the nearby mountains.
Why they chose this property
This property is situated in a dramatically beautiful setting, rather like straddling two different worlds. Set in the foothills of the Rockies; to the west sits the Rocky Mountain Sawtooth Range and to the east are the rolling prairies and buttes. Two distinctly different eco-systems. The canyons are made of glacier carved granite and have the look of Yosemite National Park on a smaller scale with a variety of conifers and aspen and hanging Alpine valleys. We are extremely close, just minutes from the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Our area is the 'Gateway' to Glacier National Park and the Boone & Crockett's Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch. This uniquely beautiful area has inspired many a writer and artist and has been included in numerous books and novels. The late Pulitzer Prize winner, A.B. Guthrie, (whose lands borders ours), was inspired by the area and it's western history to write many of his stories. ('The Way West', 'The Big Sky', the movie script for, 'Shane', among them.) Other books made into movies based in the area were 'The Horse Whisperer' and 'Legends of the Fall'. Maybe your artistic side will be inspired, too! Historically, this area is the site of fossil finds, Native American hunting grounds, Lewis & Clark Expedition, cattle & sheep ranches and wheat & barley farmers.
What makes this property unique
This area of Montana is unique in it's eco-system and sparsely populated land, no crowds! The close up views of the mountains; watching the colors change throughout the day, on those rock and slab behemoths, creates its own enchantment. Ripe with wildlife in the area, hunters, fishermen and photo enthusiasts will LOVE this area! A person can have as much quiet and serenity as they need or as much activity as they can handle, depending on what the vacationer's needs and abilities are. If you are looking to 'just getaway', this vacation home is the perfect retreat for your needs! This is the most private and tranquil spot on the entire ranch! For indoor times, there are books, games, wireless Internet access and wireless streaming TV. Updated furniture and appliances completes the comfort level! Close by are 100's of miles of mountain trails for hiking, lake fishing, fly fishing, small game and big game hunting - both bow and rifle, bird watching and numerous scenic vistas for photo and other artistic opportunities. The town of Choteau offers a museum, antiques shop, heated community swimming pool, a theater, golf, bowling (not open for a quarter of the year, during summer), A small museum of the area's history, restaurants and eateries. A small town 10 miles north of Choteau, named Bynum, offers a dinosaur museum and a very reasonably priced rock shop with many unique finds. If you are a rodeo fan, periodically, there are rodeos held at the Choteau Fair Grounds. A fiddler's contest in the summer and an art auction in the fall. The Choteau Visitor's Center has numerous brochures and information. The U.S. Forest Service also has a building in town, where anyone can gather maps and information on what to do and where to go in the mountains and for hunting and fishing regulations. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is advisable in the late fall, for snow.
