"Exceptional Hotel Experience!"

The hotel is beautiful. Like a hunting lodge. I love that. The grounds are amazing. With a Japanese tea garden in the back and a dog park on the property. It's really an amazing place. The breakfast, included with your room, is outstanding. Just a beautiful stay. Since I found this place by accident I have been back four more times. Will be staying again on my way back to Montana. The best part is the staff! The front desk staff are so wonderful and helpful. They seem like friends or family. They truly treat you like you are their family. I love staying there!
