Wedding Travel

We traveled to the area for a family wedding and our flight was delayed, we were then arriving very late and the owners still had no problem meeting us, they were so awsome to deal with our whole trip was so relaxing, never needing anything just bought our food and the house was very well stocked with anything you might need. The place has such a relaxing atmosphere didn't feel the need to leave to relax but there are a lot of activities nearby that makes it a great location for all the experinces in the area. Can't wait to return again

Lovable Lesnik

Seven of us stayed over a week at the Lesnik Cottage and enjoyed every minute. We fished, watched movies, prepared our meals, fired up the grill, built a fire in the pit, visited Yellowstone Park, went to Thermopolis for a dinosaur relic dig, and traveled to Cody for a rodeo ... all from our Lesnik Basecamp. Awesome family vacation!!!

It was Amazing!!

My 2 sisters & I stayed as we have family in the area & were attending a wedding. This farm house was just perfect! The house was spotless, had everything we needed, & great instructions. The creek running around the property was such a bonus! The history of the family was a pleasure to read about. The home provided us with many memories from our childhood as we grew up in rural Wisconsin. We hope to stay again & highly recommend. Thank you!

Gem off the beaten path

What a gem! Clean, vary spacious, had nice cookware (everything you need), plenty of plates, flatware glasses, etc. Rosebud Creek thru the property was added bonus. Also plenty of resource books on the area and family history. Closest store and restaurant three miles away. Other restaurants were within 10 - 30 miles, but enjoyed cooking on the grill and stargazing even in December.

Son's wedding 2023

We enjoyed our stay.. My son was getting married to a beautiful bride in Nye not far away from this property. This house is very comfy, clean, and cozy. I had a chance to walk around the area. The sound of the running creek nearby was relaxing. The garden that was growing was florishing with flowers and vegetables. I would highly recommend staying here again. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication in keeping up this wonderful house.

What a great house!

The cleanest and the best stocked I have ever stayed at. Everything there is in great shape and it felt like home. The AC was a bonus. Fishing on the creek was nice as well. The driveway also serves as access to the farm and was well used throughout the week. I I felt prevledged to be able to stay there.

Perfect getaway.

We loved our stay in Rita’s house. The house had everything we needed and more! We had two small kids with us who just loved running around and checking everything out. Lots of space, great communication with owners, lovely location- peaceful and quiet, gorgeous views.

Didn't Want for a Thing

Homey, family-style living. Fit our needs and more. House is well maintained and supplied above our expectations. Was convenient to highlights of our weekend. We have an admiration for Bev Doolittle and seeing one of her prints as we entered, didn't hurt a bit!!

Perfect!

This place is an absolute gem! We were returning from a two week trip overseas before our kids graduated from ABC, and this home was the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature! Completely outfitted for all our needs and close to campus. We will definitely be returning.

We had a great time. Spacious house, well equipped kitchen for cooking, plenty of room to relax, play some games & read. Spent some time fishing. Great place to get away. Had fun with our granddaughter. Enjoyed seeing the deer eating from the apple trees every night too!

Beautiful and restful

A tranquil and lovely getaway.. There would have been plenty room for the grandkids, we didn't bring. Coffee on the patio, the birdlife and rushing stream, beautiful views... we thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful respite. DO take the walk thru the back pasture/ gate, and enjoy the views from the 'back 40'. Great walk.. tons of native flowers and views of the Beartooth mountains. We looked for, but never saw a black bear. We did see a midsized cub on the drive to Rosebud. (rough road there.) Don't miss the hike at Stillwater creek... Our favorite by far, and we did several! And there was nothing still about that creek. :) Hospitality, fresh strawberries, Sandbar Cranes, cows and horses.. everything you need in the kitchen. Highly recommended. The Hailey's June 2018

A beautiful country getaway, but still close to lots of activities.

What a beautiful setting for a relaxing getaway. Our first impression as we drove in the lane was the well manicured yard, complete with a beautiful garden, flowers in abundance and vegetables on the way. The rolling stream behind the house was a sweet lullaby, especially at night. As we entered the home, we were welcomed with a delightful aroma hat lasted our entire stay. The house was immaculate; clean even in the smallest corners. The cupboards were full of anything you could want or need. Plenty of extra linens and towels if needed. Our group has family roots in the area, so we very much enjoyed reading the family history and photos this home displayed for us to enjoy. The artwork on the walls was beautiful. Much of it had to be treasures of the owners. We all felt very comfortable and welcomed in this house. We arranged our gathering around Fishtail Family Fun Days and the Absarokee BBQ Cookoff. Both events were a lot of fun. We would definitely refer anyone to this home who appreciates a beautiful setting for a relaxing getaway. Thank you so much for having us!

Relaxing home away from home, sooo beautiful!

We stayed here with other family members for our daughters wedding. Very easy access for my elderly parents, enough rooms for everyone, two beautiful bathrooms. My 83 year old father said it was the most beautiful place he had been to, with the stream just off the deck. While relaxing on the wedding day, he enjoyed the various books (read 3 of them) on the deck! What a beautiful garden! Thank you so much for the weekend of a lifetime! Easy access from a quiet road with beautiful scenery all along the drive.
