We had a lovely stay. Home was just as pictured. Plenty of room and views that were just beautiful.Had dinner at Stacey’s (highly recommend). It was a quick trip to Bozeman and the perfect location for the next leg of our trip into Yellowstone.

Hi Kit,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! Le Ciel is one of our favorite properties, and we're glad you thought so as well. The private river access is a couple minutes walk and it does have a lock on that gate, as it is private property. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

My husband, adult daughter and I stayed here over Christmas break and it was just perfect. In floor radiant heating made it almost too toasty! The master suite with a giant wall in closet was a plus, the third extra bathroom was a nice surprise. And the view was breathtaking!! We cooked most dinners in- but the property has lots of options near by for dinner. We’re bummed we never got to try the iconic Stacey’s right down the street- but after long days of skiing/ shopping we were early to bed and early to rise.

My family of 4 just stayed at this wonderful house. We had a great stay. The house is very spacious and beautiful and had everything we needed. We loved sitting outside watching the cows and deer and also had a visit from a nearby cat. Sitting by the fire pit outside and wood burning stove inside was such a great place to share stories and make memories. Love Montana. If you decide to visit, stay at this beautiful getaway. It is truly nature at its finest!

Nice property, only wish that the kitchen was stocked better with pots, pans, small appliances etc. Bare minimums were only provided. Would have brought my own if I had known
Could not be happier with the house. Spent a week here with some family and and we loved this cozy and spacious place. It is tucked away in the countryside with amazing views of the surrounding hills, but still affords convenient access to Bozeman and Big Sky.
We especially loved the tulikivi fireplace. There was plenty of wood to split in the shed and we spent lots of time enjoying the fire after a hard day of skiing.
Access is off a dirt road so might be good to have a 4x4 vehicle in the winter.
We would definitely love to return to this incredible retreat!

Hello, It is an honor to host you at one of our properties and we hope you had a lovely stay in Montana, we would love to welcome you back! Stay Safe.
The house is in a beautiful area with easy access to fishing and all the sites. The house was beautiful but rhe master bed smelled very moldy either from the mattress pad or some odor. The second mattress we moved to was very stiff to say the least. Other than that the house had everything one needed.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us regarding your recent experience. We are very excited that you enjoyed your time with us, and we would love the opportunity to host you again in the future.
We also appreciate all feedback that you provide to us so that we can better serve future guests.
Overall, Le Ciel is a beautiful home situated in a picturesque setting. The backdrop and peacefulness of the mountains and cows grazing in the field, is serene. The house appears exactly as listed. The amenities are wonderful for an at-home stay.
I do have some suggestions.
(1) Consider having a smart sheet with quick facts, including garbage procedures. It may be online; however, it is more helpful if for important matters like this, we don't have to look it up.
(2) Consider including a safe where we can store our valuables.
(3) The side door leading out to the patio (by the master bedroom) can easily be opened from the outside, even if locked from the inside. I notified the staff, and it was written that Regina was working on the issue. The lock was never fixed. I took a video and sent it as well to show the operations crew, but no one seemed to understand. Not being able to lock that door successfully (because it could be accessed from the outside) left us feeling vulnerable. We felt as if we needed to secure the door ourselves so that we could feel safe.
(4) Everyone who may have mobility issues is not in a wheelchair. Perhaps you may want to consider how people (young and old) may have difficulty stepping up the front step because it is high. You may consider a grab bar by the toilets as well. Many people have differing abilities that are not seen.
These are just suggestions. Overall, we were happy with our stay. The Halala-Vishudh Family

Simply wonderful
Peaceful location, wide open spaces, spectacular views, homey vibe. Loved it! The house is spacious (larger than it seems in photos), comfortably furnished, and well-stocked. We were completely happy with this rental (the radiant heated floors were a big hit;). The location is accessible to Bozeman, Belgrade/airport, and Big Sky. We plan to stay here each time we're in Montana visiting our daughter. Thank you, Stay Montana, for making such a lovely property available!
We loved our stay here. The views and short walk to the river were beautfiful. The home was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect with short commute to Bozeman and Big Sky. I loved reading in the cute backyard chairs with a view.
I only give this 4 stars becuase the kitchen was barren, Not even sugar around for my coffee :( Also, trying to arrange an earlier check in was hard. I had to ask the day of if it was possible and if it was, it was $50/hr extra. Also, there was no little travel body wash or lotions... just a teeeeeeny tiny bit of shampoo and conditioner. Not enough for a week long trip between a few people.
Anyways, overall AMAZING AND WILL COME BACK!!!
Loved the open floor plan. Beautiful views; perfect for AM coffee & PM wine. We watched deer play every morning while drinking coffee. Easy walk to private fishing waters

Not a well taken care of property- plenty of potential
It's never great when the fridge smells like fish, the sheets don't fit the beds and the windows/screens are filthy. This place needs some love and a few amenities- games or at least some cards to play- maybe bocce ball or something to do other than just sit out side in the unmowed yard with thistles. The river is near by- but a map would still be appreciated.

We appreciate your feedback, and we have passed this along to the home owners to make some renovations. We are sorry to hear you didn't have a 5 star experience with us.
Fantastic stay. Communication about check in was great. When we arrived, there was a table with a greeting for me that gave lots of useful information. The house was spotless, and well appointed. Real glass plates! The linens were luxurious better than hotel grade. The towels were thick and absorbant. The pictures on the listing are accurate and what a view! All of the lights were conveniently labeled. Small details are paid attention to. We used the grill and on ocassion we were seranaded by the 6 chickens on the property. Checking out was easy peasy as well and our group would definitely rent this property again when in Bozeman.
