Fantastic stay.....again!

This is the third time we have stayed at this property--it is perfect! There is room for everyone, and lots to do. The game room over the garage allows people to have fun and be loud without disrupting those in the main house. The property is beautiful, and the views are spectacular! Doug is extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with. We hope to be able to stay here again! Thanks so much, Doug!

Great House for a Large Group

If you have a large group, this is a great place to stay. Plenty of room in the house and lots to do outside. Pickleball was a big hit with our group. Loved the animals coming around. Well-stocked kitchen. The fun room above the garage is a great hang-out spot. While we didn't have young children, they would have loved this area. If we ever go back with a large group, this is the first place I will look into.

Montana Ranch Property

This property was fantastic for our family. The kids (both under five) absolutely loved it - cows, horses, sheep, tire swing, pond, etc. Very scenic, incredible mountain vistas everywhere you look. Convenient, but removed, location as well. Doug is great.

Beautiful property

The property was Amazing and so perfect for families. We had an amazing family trip. Great house for those traveling with young children- there is SO much to do you don’t even need to leave the house. My toddlers loved all the cows and animals on the property and being able to fish in the pond. There is a basketball court/ pickle ball court as well little bikes and cars for toddlers to ride The views are spectacular on the property. The beds were also very comfortable!

About the host

Hosted by Doug Schallenberger

We built this home and lived in it while we raised our children. Lots of fun on the pond, swimming, kayaking, fishing, close to bike path. We have a pickleball net, basketball court, and fun. We loved watching the baby geese, ducks, sand cranes, blue cranes, elk and deer. Close to town.
