My husband and I arrived with our four children, two granddaughters, both 2 years old, and assorted husbands, girlfriends, and friends. The lodge location is perfect, just a short drive to the North Gate of Yellowstone National Park. The Yellowstone River runs right through the back yard. We were completely comfortable and never wanted for anything. Joe and Mike are excellent guides, especially for us, as we had never been to Montana and didn't want to spend all our time looking for local activities.
We had wonderful dinners. Joe shared some of his antelope and elk and bison meat with us one night and we had burgers on the grill. There was a bonfire every night, complete with smores. The fly fishermen fished, some of us shot sporting clays with Mike, horse back riding was available, and of course we went to Yellowstone.
Querencia is a great place for families with lots of different age groups. The property was a favorite of the two year olds, plenty of things to explore, plus chickens, roosters, dogs and more. One of our guests brought her dog and she was allowed to stay in the house with us. When we went to Yellowstone, where pets are not allowed, we were able to put her in the kennels where she was safe until we returned.
We all hated to leave but will certainly go back when we get the chance. It truly was one of our best vacations ever, thanks to Joe and Mike. If you like independence when you travel, Querencia is the place for you.
As far as price goes, it was half what we normally pay to rent a beach house and had a lot more going on. Thanks, Joe and Mike, for everything!
