Fantastic stay.....again!
This is the third time we have stayed at this property--it is perfect! There is room for everyone, and lots to do. The game room over the garage allows people to have fun and be loud without disrupting those in the main house. The property is beautiful, and the views are spectacular! Doug is extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with. We hope to be able to stay here again! Thanks so much, Doug!

Great House for a Large Group
If you have a large group, this is a great place to stay. Plenty of room in the house and lots to do outside. Pickleball was a big hit with our group. Loved the animals coming around. Well-stocked kitchen. The fun room above the garage is a great hang-out spot. While we didn't have young children, they would have loved this area. If we ever go back with a large group, this is the first place I will look into.

Montana Ranch Property
This property was fantastic for our family. The kids (both under five) absolutely loved it - cows, horses, sheep, tire swing, pond, etc. Very scenic, incredible mountain vistas everywhere you look. Convenient, but removed, location as well. Doug is great.

Beautiful property
The property was Amazing and so perfect for families. We had an amazing family trip. Great house for those traveling with young children- there is SO much to do you don’t even need to leave the house. My toddlers loved all the cows and animals on the property and being able to fish in the pond. There is a basketball court/ pickle ball court as well little bikes and cars for toddlers to ride The views are spectacular on the property. The beds were also very comfortable!

pictures don’t do it justice!
Lori and Doug’s house is wonderful! The views were incredible and the pictures do not do this house justice. There was more space than expected and the house not only offered everyone their own space but also plenty of space to gather!

Home Away From Home
This is our 2nd year in a row staying here, and it was just as great as the first! Tons of room for our whole family! The bonus/game room is perfect for group fun without disrupting the rest of the house. Plenty of room for meals, lounging, etc. The property is gorgeous, and Doug was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Can't say enough great things about our stay and this place!

Annual gathering of friends
Six guys who spent years working together have now been getting together in MT each Fall to do a little hunting and/or fishing. More importantly we get together to keep our friendship going. Doug, your place provided a great place for our Garth this year. It was very convenient for hunting and fishing, and a very comfortable house. Thanks much.

This was our second stay at the Ponds. Once again it was amazing! Such a great space for families. My kids never want to leave the property, which is fine because we don’t either!
