    Everything about the cottage was wonderful. The host was excellent with communication. I'm not sure who showed up to shovel the snow off the porch and out of the driveway but it was very appreciated! The deer that walked the property everyday were a treat too!

    Wonderful cottage with beautiful views!! Had an outstanding stay with family. Easy to get to and close to Bozeman. My daughter and I even took a Lift back to the cottage, when the guys were done with shopping. We will definitely stay again.

    This is the third time we've rented this property! Quiet but not too far from town. A great deck to look out across the fields full of deer to a beautiful mountain view. Well supplied kitchen and comfortable accommodations.

    The property was as advertised. Very clean. Very private. Property roads were very well maintained/plowed during snow storms. The gate into the property is a bit temperamental, but once we learned to push # first before entering the code, it opened right away each time. We would definitely stay there again.

    We all absolutely LOVED this cozy cabin. Gorgeous property and views. Fantastic location that is not a far drive from downtown Bozeman and yet gives you the feel of seclusion. I can’t say enough about this place. Love everything about it. This is going to be our “go to” cabin whenever we come back to Bozeman.

    This little home exceeded all of my expectations; From the amenities to the scenery to my interactions with the host. I would literally travel to Montana again just to visit this place. I initially booked a week stay because my husband had a major sugery in the area and would need a place to recover. After having spent the week, we would be delighted to return just to spend more time here. So grateful!

    The cabin was perfect for my wife and I! It’s located at the bottom of a mountain on a beautiful piece of land. It’s gated and secured and secluded. There’s a pretty little pond with lots of trout. It’s only about 15 minutes from downtown Bozeman. The beds were very comfortable, the whole cabin was very clean and comforting. We did get to see a couple of deer near the cabin right when we arrived. Wonderful hiking and explore very close. It’s definitely a place we will stay again!
