Absolutely loved staying here. The house was perfect and had everything and the scenery was fantastic. The ranch animals were friendly and Mark and Megan are great! Would definitely stay here again.

The real deal

This is the real deal if you want to stay in Montana. Truly fabulous. The people who manage the ranch were very friendly. Two minor quibbles: 1)The communication process is a bit confusing. There is VRBO, then there is a property management company, and then I got asked to download an app for another service (Hospitality) (so 3 apps in total!). Reaching the person responsible can only be done (it appears) using a phone number which is not convenient when traveling abroad. 2) the check and check out times of 10:00 and 17:00 are silly. Luckily I was able to check in at 15:00 and I left around 11:30. If the times were stricly enforced I would think twice of using this service again.
