Getting Around:

Due to the location and the relatively small population size of the area, there is not public transport options. Finding a ride with services like Lyft and Uber are a good choice but can vary in availability. Other options may may be available depending on the time of year and weather conditions.



Other Things to Note:

Please be aware that Montana winter storms can hit hard and fast. You may want to consider renting a four-wheel drive in the winter months depending on your experience with weather conditions. We do have a snow removal company that will take care of plowing the driveway, and we do provide snow shovels and snow melt for use during your stay. Major storms will contribute to the timeliness of plowing so preparing accordingly is key.



The home is stocked with firewood and the private hot tub is open and serviced year-round as well.



GPS, cell service and wireless internet can be unreliable in the general area. However, the home now has Starlink for your convenience. Be sure to review the check in information sent 24 hours via channel messages for important information including detailed directions, codes, and household information, etc.
