Facing the Swan Mountains on 20 beautiful rolling acres in North West Montana
are three 20' Tipi's available for overnight stays for those looking for a more
down to earth experience. This Tipi has a Queen size bed, linens & blankets, grass mats, small tables,
and solar lights. Enjoy the moon, and experience the wonder of being/sleeping
in an ancient conical structure!! The rest room is near by in the glass blowing studio,
which is very basic, nothing fancy....just a sink and a toilet, no shower. But due to such overwhelming interest in the tipi experience we will be adding a new solar powered shower next season! Most folks have been enjoying swimming in the near by world class Flathead Lake.
DIRECTIONS
Once turning off Hwy 35 at Saint John Paul Catholic Church it is the 3rd driveway on your left. Immediately after the Rising Mountain assisted Living. There are red streamers
Tied to a glass and metal pole! It is 0.2 of a mile from hwy 35. Siri & goggle maps takes you too far down Coverdell Rd.
*** If you are squeamish about insects.... expect a hotel type restroom...or experiencing varied weather conditions, this destination is probably not for you !!

    For what it is, and for the price it is a really great place to stay. If you are into outdoor activities its a must do. Lee is a great host and the shop cat is real sweet.

    Great place with a comfortable bed. Unique experience to spend the night in a teepee under the gorgeous moonlit Montana sky. Lee is a very communicative and helpful host.

    It was a unique experience and I slept well. The bed was comfy, but I did keep on thinking about the grasshoppers that were also in the tipi. The view from out of the door was great and communication was great.

    Super fun experience. It's more like camping than a hotel but both my daughter and I loved the experience. Bring a light and activities and enjoy this beautiful location!

    We were greeted by a very friendly barn cat and serenaded by owls. Fantastic!

    I stayed in a Tipi 2 nights. Lee was a great host and my stay was very peaceful. I typically stay in hotels or VRBO houses when traveling. This was the “different” experience I was looking for during my quick trip to Montana. I would stay here again!

    Beautiful property and views. Tipi was comfortable and loved the light coming through the canvas in the morning. Lee was a perfect host. Great choice!

    Quant and peaceful, very professional host. As advertised, this is literally just a teepee, with a partially open ceiling and sitting right on the ground. We had some grasshopper visitors inside the teepee with us. The property is great, tucked in. This is the place to stay if you're looking for an old fashioned outside/ outdoor experience without modern luxury. The bed, however, was quite comfortable :)

    Amazing experience! Very comfortable and the host was incredibly hospitable. Pro-tip: if there’s no sun, there’s no warm water for the shower. All was great for us and we would stay again!

    The tipis are in a beautiful prairie and we enjoyed the view from chairs outside our tipi. As discussed in listing, the furnishings are basic (comfortable bed!). Open air. I always like to comment on access. Tipis require a short, level walk through tall grass (path to restroom marked with solar lights). Basic, clean half bath plus outdoor solar shower. Tipis have a small, circular entrance which requires bending and stepping in (about 4’ high).

    To be honest we weren't sure what to expect but the property is gorgeous and the town of Big Fork is incredible. Lee is a fantastic host and the beds in the teepee's are quite comfortable also the washroom facilities are great. 10/10 would definitely stay here again! Thank you Lee!

    Staying in a tipi was a great way to end my trip through beautiful Montana. There were deer in the meadow and I could an owl hooting both nights I was there.
