About the host
Hosted by Doug Wold
We are a 5th-generation Montana family who has been in hospitality since 1910. We love to share the beauty and grandeur that is Montana. We played host to all sorts of events over the decades. In recent years, most of our guests have found our Swan River Retreat the perfect place for their family gatherings.
Why they chose this property
We bought these 10 acres in 2000 and built our family retreat. We rebuilt and enlarged the main cabin and built three smaller guest cabins.
We had so much company, we next built a bunkhouse with 8 bunks, a half-bath, and two bedrooms, each with a loft. We lived at the retreat for about 4 months a year for about 10 years. It is nicely furnished with quality items.
Ten years ago we decided to share it with guests and make it available as a vacation rental. We have been fortunate in that our guests have all been very respectful of the property, and understand it is special, and not a regular commercial venture.
