Amazing stay on this beautiful ranch!

We were blown away by this property. What a gorgeous ranch and the house we stayed in (Elk Willows) was on top of the hill looking out over the ranch. It was so fun to see the horses and alpacas roam around. We also saw a black bear, an elk and deer right on the property. This house is located about 30 minutes to the stunning Many Glacier area. The house was so clean and spacious. It had all the comforts of home and then some. We appreciated the washer & dryer and also that they provided bear spray. Cheyenne and Andrew were wonderful hosts!

Great place!

Amazing view of Glacier Mountains from one set of windows and a long view of horses out another window. We were hoping to see the Northern Lights, but they didn’t cooperate but the view allowed for it. The house was clean, well organized and private with a lot of books. Very comfortable. Our king size bed in the master was perfectly comfortable. The property managers were very nice and friendly and we loved seeing the horses and alpacas. Bring plenty of bottled water as the property is on a cistern system. We would definitely stay there again!

The highlight of our trip

The house was amazing so roomy we could definitely relax after hiking and driving all day. So many lovely books—really a library’s worth. We loved having a kitchen to cook some hot meals in. Views from the porch were top notch beautiful. Communication was very responsive the llamas were a definite bonus! We loved our stay
