This was an excellent quiet getaway that added to our Glacier experience. It was so peaceful and nice to sit out and watch the deer play with the mountains as a backdrop.

Staying in a tipi was a rare and fun experience. The host was more than kind and welcoming and though the accommodations were rustic, that was what added to the charm. It was a delightful stay in a quiet safe area.

Loved this stay in Bigfork! The amenities and tipi were simple, but comfortable! A great way to slow down and enjoy the view. The cots were also surprisingly comfortable!

Family National Park Tour

The tipis were a fun experience to add to our National Park adventures! Lee was an amzing host, very accomodating to our needs. Bigfork is a cool place to visit and hang out as well.

It was rustic as advertised. The cots were comfy but more importantly the setting was magical. The stars came out and took our breath away, the backdrop of the tipis was awesome! Would love to stay again!

A very out in nature experence. Our 2 grandchildren, 10 & 15 loved sleeping in a tipi, but it's not for those who don't like bugs or need to shower every day. Bring a flaslight, t's a dark walk to the bathroom. It was exactly what was expected at that price. So glad we we had this experience with our grandchildren!

Tipi stay

Novel way to camp. Beds and linens provided. Bathroom and wash up sink. Didn’t take showers— don’t remember if listed. Didn’t see one. Stayed warm and dry in spite of thunder showers and wind. Would do again.

A single outlet to be able to charge phone would be nice especially since there is no lighting option in the tipi besides our cell phone flashlight. We didn't think to bring an actual flashlight or lantern.

Es gab kein Tipi. Die Unterkunft war bereits von anderen gebucht. Ohne den Besitzer, der mir sein Gasthouse gab, hätte ich auf derStrasse gestanden! Wie kann das passieren! Ich habe diese Unterkunft extra wegen dem Tipi gebucht! Alles schief gelaufen! Expedia, Ihr habt das Gekd nicht verdient!

Sin loved the tipee experience!

Lee, the owner, was terrific and helpful. We stayed in the main house (see review) and rented two of the tipees for my son and his friend. They loved the setting and the outside shower.

Loved the tipis! It rained the whole time we were there so it did drip, but otherwise was a great stay! There is a toilet, but not a shower so couldn't stay for too long. The owner was so kind and was very flexible with helping us out when our tipi dripped!

There were no clear instructions, so I had to go around the property for half an hour. I think the landlord should give step-by-step guide how to get there. Fortunately he quickly responded my call. But... it was very cold at night. Like you sleep in the street you know. I had my sleeping bag, but still freaking cold!
