Guest Reviews
- Dixie (10/5): - Where do I begin, first off the property is awesome, peaceful and beautiful. BUT we got there and the heaters (3) did not work, it was a very cold sleep. The next day we noticed that we had no coffee or utensils, we were given coffee and utensils. We were given a heater but that still left the bathroom freezing. We only had 1 facecloth which was corrected. Later the first day we found that the only water coming in the shower was scalding hot, we could not shower. When we attempted to watch TV it wouldn't connect to the internet so there was no TV to watch. The next morning we wanted to have coffee and the coffee was broken and wouldn't brew. The final thing was that the breaker would blow everytime we used the microwave. Despite all of this we would definately go back but we'd make sure they verify that everything works
- Maydel (10/5): - Staff was nice. Breakfast was very good. Cabin was very cozy and furnishings were lovely.
- Jessie (8/5): - The staff in the office was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. Our cabin was very nice, although I didn't like the sheer curtains in the bathroom and the water in the shower came out in a trickle. The property could use a good cleaning out - there was trash and things that should have been carted away all over. The lone bison made me sad as they are herd creatures, and she has to spend her life alone as her only other companion died a few years ago. There are deer that apparently live on the property, as well as horses, cows, and pigs. There are several decent restaurants fairly close, and the town of Kalispell isn't very far. The scenery is beautiful. It's about an hour and a half to Glacier National Park.
- Dan (10/5): - If you like the country, you'll love this place
- Michael (8/5): - Quiet and great concept. Cleanliness needs to be improved at the dining room and in the cabin. Breakfast for our table mates was basically inedible with burned and dried out sausages. My griddle cakes were thin and crunchy compared to the nice cakes on another’s plate. Manager receptive to hearing about the cabin cleanliness. Did not have the heart to add on complaints about the food.
- ssk (10/5): -
- Neil (6/5): -
- TRACEY (10/5): Nice place outside Kalispell - Nice place to stay outside Kalispell especially if you like the outdoors. Staff super friendly. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast Everything was great!
- Jean (10/5): A beautiful, peaceful spot to break from modernisim. - The place was rustic but friendly. We arrived late so we didn't get to enjoy the ranch until the next morning. The breakfast was great. Our unit, which was a cabin, was very roomy and well-appointed for our short stay. We paid extra at the last minute for a horseback trail ride with a guide. Mailia was great and loves her job.
- Anthony (10/5): Fun place to stay. - We stayed 3 nights in the tipi. It was fun and very comfortable. PLENTY of blankets were provided. Short walk to the porta potty. Longer walk to shower house and flush potty. Nice big fire ring. Security provided by Natasha the bison. Breakfast was good and made fresh.
- David (5/5): - Rustic Rustic
- Phillips (10/5): -
- Linda (6/5): - Bed was comfortable with plenty of blankets for the chilly morning. Cool ranch atmosphere, but could be so much more. To get to the bathroom/shower you have to walk about 10-15 min. There is a porta potty closer, but I don't consider that "glamping". Also, there are led lights along the path to the bathroom to light the way at night , however only about 1/4 of them are working, so it's pretty dark! Mostly though, as beautiful as the ranch is-there is a lot of useless trash (metal, wood/vehicles/etc) laying around everywhere. The breakfast was good-a little late for early riserers. A good clean-up would help. Overall, I'd probably go again, but wouldn't expect as much.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Very quite nice place. Extra bed was in a loft and we couldn’t climb stairs. Sofa bed uncomfortable Best breakfast we have had!! Friendly staff. Very quiet area. Deer came to our yard
- Erickson (10/5): -
- Brian (7/5): Fint for en enkelt overnatning eller to. - Stilheden Rengørings niveau manglede en del.
- Massimo (8/5): - Posto super tranquillo e gita a cavallo stupendo Super colazione
- Joyce (4/5): - The listing said there was a tv. There was, but we couldn’t get any channels and the office was closed the first evening we tried to use it. The bedding was many years old and needs updating. The pillows were horrible, old, lumpy. They need to be thrown out and replaced. There needs to be more lighting in the bathroom and a mirror above the sink. It took me 10 minutes to put my contacts in because I simply couldn’t see. There were no wash clothes in the bathroom. We removed the “air freshener” right away as I’m allergic to scents like that, plus it smelled horrible. Also, I believe when air freshener type devices are used that they are trying to cover up existing odors, which I’m sure was the case. We only stayed there for 1 out of the 3 nights booked and chose to stay at a much nicer hotel in town. We lost a lot of money booking this place and obviously wouldn’t ever stay there again. It was a BIG waste of money. The description was extremely misleading. A refund offer would be appreciated.
- Laurie (2/5): - we were unaware of the restaurant not being opened one reason we picked is, so we did not have to drive more than we had to. It is not handicap accessible so i had to drive my mom closer to the bathroom and staff was not friendly about me doing that. I signed up for 3 people and at the last-minute my sister decided to join us. there was no one there to tell them that. We decide it was too far from hospital and decided to move into town, so i called to see if we could get our money back due to the circumstances and that is when they made me feel like i was a criminal for not telling them my sister would be with us. I will never go back, and I will not recommend this place to anyone. and I know a lot of people.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Great cozy cabin to glamp - My stay was incredible. It was such a cute little ranch. The staff I met was super nice, super helpful. Arriving was a bit overwhelming because I didn’t know my way but I was guided and helped really fast. It was super comfortable, extra cozy. I didn’t expect the room to be squeaky clean because it’s a ranch but overall it was a great stay. Seeing Natasha(the bison) every morning was really cool.
- David (10/5): - Wonderful property and super friendly staff! Highly recommend, would definitely stay there again!
- Bruce (10/5): - Rainn was awesome. We loved her customer service!
- Regina Wilshire (10/5): -
- Dawn (10/5): Book the stay, The farm and breakfast is worth it. - Absolutely adorable place to stay, the staff is amazing. I didn’t stay longer or get to ride the horses.
- Ritva (8/5): - Nice tipi’s , should have had warmer blankets
- Julie (8/5): - The setting was nice. I enjoyed the communal aspect of the TP and tent area. Met some nice people there. However, the I didn’t like how the owners kept their animals. The horse pen, cow pen, and buffalo pen were overcrowded and not well kept. Too many animals in too small a space.
- Carl Devin (10/5): - Contacted them the day of to confirm it was okay for a late check in. The employees were great. The bed was alright, walking to the restroom at night was a little much but the place feels very safe. The horses and bison on the ranch were all fun to see and pet.
- Cheryl (10/5): - The cabins and surrounding was exceptional. They have a pet buffalo named Natasha who will eat grass from your hand, some of the sweetest cats. They have horses and the area was gorgeous. Beds were comfy, cabin was extremely clean and cozy. Water pressure in shower was not good but able to work with it. The free breakfast was phenomenal. Coffee was great. Gift store packed with goodies. The owners and staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. Always smiling. I would stay again Absolutely nothing
- Eric (10/5): - We had a very great experience and will definitely be back again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Rustic but comfortable. - This place has so much potential but the owner is over her head. We stayed in a teepee expecting a glamping experience as the description says. When you crawl into the teepee there are two beds & a bedside table. They tell you there is a battery operated lantern but they evidently don’t check their batteries regularly. Ours was dead. Since you do have to walk quite a way to the “bath house”, no flashlight is a problem. Lucky for us, while we were there they were having electric problems at the bathhouse so they opened one of the cabins for us to use. The beds were comfortable but go prepared for camping, not glamping. Breakfast wasn’t great but better than most hotels, you get to order from a menu.
- Daniel and Linda (10/5): - Rugged.
- Sean (10/5): - Me, my wife and two kids had a great experience. The farm animals were very cute and friendly. Cabin had heater, AC, WiFi, and good cable TV. The loft sleeping area was a big hit with the kids! Breakfast was hand-made to order in a classy dining room full of antique and historical displays. Gift shop had many unique items for sale.
- Sharon (7/5): -
- Phillip (6/5): Good Luck If You Choose This “Ranch” - When you read what is included in the tent stay at Lonesome Dove on Hotels.com you think you’re going to be “Glamping”…37 inch TV and all the other amenities it says it has! It has none of them except for the beds in the tent and the incredible breakfast! Other than that…which isn’t enough to warrant the price paid nothing they said was available was actually available! There are 4 tents with beds and 4 Teepee tents with beds! There is one women’s bathroom and one men’s! On the second morning we went to the bathhouse and there was no electricity and when you call the number you’re supposed to call it goes to voicemail and the message center is full! Had to go bang on the owners door to get someone to help! It took almost an hour to get electricity in the bathhouse and it kept shutting off and on! It appears they want to be profitable…hence the high price for a tent with beds but they do NOT have their act together yet! We did go horse back riding there and it was a wonderful experience! At breakfast you can choose to sit alone or with others and we made lifetime friends sitting with others! Also the road into the place is primitive!
- Lars-Inge (8/5): -
- Wayne (6/5): - Great
- Nima (10/5): - It was great for us, a new experience.
- James (10/5): - It is a unique property. Great breakfast choices and a fum Glamping experience.
- Curtis (10/5): A Rustic Gem - Spacious property, pastoral splendor amidst the woods. The cabin we stayed in was spacious, comfortable and homey. Wonderful breakfast and friendly staff. Exceeded all my expectations in every way. They even had a buffalo in a spacious enclosure. Didn’t expect that!
- Samuel (9/5): Great price and clean lodgings for an authentic feel. - Clean lodgings. The walled tents are heavy duty. breakfast was really good. Not a con if you’re the one doing it. But, people can lock the whole bathroom that contains the sink, shower, and toilet. So if you really need to use only one of those in the morning you sometimes have to wait for that person to finish bathrooming, showering, brushing their teeth, and changing.
- Jennifer (4/5): Potential to be a great place - The location is beautiful ❤️ A couple of staff were very rude and did not seem to like their jobs. Rayne was a delight. Grounds were not well kept, trash was not emptied regularly. Bathrooms needed maintenance and repairs. Seems like a place with great potential if they had more staff and time to commit to it.
- Rebecca (8/5): - Loved the animals on the property!
- Julie (4/5): - No towels. Didn’t give us any instructions for internet, found out later, no towels, had to ask, didn’t know there were flushing toilets. Only 2 showers for the whole place? Portable Outhouse was dirtier than some prom
- Rebecca (4/5): - Expedia advertised the wrong room for our stay. I thought I had paid for a cabin with 4 double beds and a king size bed. When we got here, there was only 1 king, sofa bed and double loft bed.
- Virgie (8/5): - This cabin had rustic charm. They served breakfast, but it did not start till 8:30, so we did not get that. We had to be on the road a lot earlier than 8:30. They had several different animals including horses, a buffalo, chickens, etc.The people were very nice there.
- Robert (10/5): - Great stay, thank you!
- Michael W. (10/5): - It was very nice to experience the outside and of course amazing all the people you meet!
- Sherry (10/5): Would Recommend - Fun experience, this is staying in a tent/teepee so expect a camping like experience, except for the breakfast that is included which is made to order in their restaurant—which was delicious! Staff was very friendly.
- KRISTIN (8/5): - Loved the property
- Verified traveler (8/5): Interesting experience - It was interesting setting of accommodation. No power, no ice, no common area for ice or microwave, quite a walk to bathroom, and there was only one bathroom for girls. Shower pressure was good. Linens were cozy and comfy. Breakfast was really good, but serves 0830 to 1000 only. Though staffs were nice, I didn't feel welcomed probably beacuse they were not really friendly/bubbly.
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (10/5): - Hidden treasure. Love this place.
- Regina (8/5): Very good - Loved the cabins and tents. It was a great place with lots of options. Breakfast was good. Shower house was clean. Booking advertised our room wrong so we didn’t have enough beds for our group. But luckily someone canceled their reservation and we were able to add an additional wall tent and the rest of the stay was great. Sharon was very helpful and quick to find a solution.
- Traci (10/5): Family fun - We had such a fun time! The sleeping arrangements were clean and family friendly! The breakfast that was included was very good! The kids enjoyed playing around the area.
- Christine (7/5): Good - Sharon is amazing!
- Laura (3/5): Poor - I recommend planning accordingly to your ability to sleep in a tent/tipi and the level of cold you can tolerate at night. The blankets provided were clearly insufficient. I always have my sleeping bag with me, which covers up to -9 degrees, and believe me, it was not a luxury to have it (I stayed at the beginning of July). A tipi has openings, and is much colder than a tent, which can warm up due to its more present insulation. You don't have protection from the bugs and mosquitoes, prepare your self to that too. Prepare yourself for basic cleanliness too. By that, I mean you're on a ranch, there's dust, animals, insects. And yes, there are toilets, but basic, and cleanliness isn't very present. that's why my bad comment below about charging for a cleaning service, what kind of cleaning? I know what to expect when I reserved. I live in the countryside and know what it's like. But I don't agree with paying cleaning fees that aren't indicated in the order, which are taken without notifying the customer. And then this notion of cleaning done isn't felt on site. This experience still very pleasant. And I would be happy to revise my bad rating if the owners do the same for the extra money they took from me. My booking confirmation shows an amount, and the owners charged me an additional $28 CAD. The owners tell me it's a cleaning fee. But a cleaning fee should appear during the booking process. This isn't honest, and I'm not even sure it's legal to take extra money without notifying guests. Booking.com customer service isn't responding either. I advise you to pay upon arrival to avoid the owners using your account. It's a shame, because without this incident, I would have given the property a good review and a good rating, but I can't stand this kind of dishonesty. I also recommend planning accordingly to your ability to sleep in a tent/tipi and the level of cold you can tolerate at night. The blankets provided were clearly insufficient. I always have my sleeping bag with me, which covers up to -9 degrees, and believe me, it was not a luxury to have it (I stayed at the beginning of July). A tipi has openings, and is much colder than a tent, which can warm up due to its more present insulation. You don't have protection from the bugs and mosquitoes, prepare your self to that too.
- Shawna (10/5): - Great home like feel. Casual and accommodating with THE BEST home cooked breakfast I have had at an overnight stay. The tipi was perfect with a friendly cat that visits and even a lovely bird fluttering around inside for a natures alarm clock:) Deer roaming around and a nice fore pit for use by all. Easy pull up right next to your unit for easy unpacking and repacking. The drive into town is short and sweet with a sense that you are truly out of the hustle and in touch with the outdoors. I would definetely stay here again.
- Brenda (10/5): Peaceful, beautiful, calling to the senses. - The tranquility of the ranch was amazing. Breakfast was awesome and more than we expected. Staff were friendly and fun. Having a Bison for a neighbor was pretty cool.
- Wayne (6/5): Not what we expected - We thought we were staying in a cabin but stayed in a tent. Had noisy neighbors with motorcycles. Bathroom was about 100 yrds away. You had to crawl on your hands and knees to get in the tent. They had a fire pit but didn’t want us to use it.
- Sharon (8/5): needs to be more advertised as camping in the woods, with no amenties, then one would be prepared. - friendly people, lovely setting. Very good breakfast. Being in the food industry for years, I would make the suggestion, of giving EVERYONE a choice, So not taking hours to feed all, I would suggest 3 choices, biscuits and gravy, meat, eggs toast, pancakes and eggs, meat, scrambled skillet. Still gives everyone a choice, and help out the cook having to not cook such a large variety. The tipi (they can not control the weather) was very wet. My complaint, is that you could not "open" the flap so you could step into the tipi, so had to get on our hands and knees and crawl in and out of the tipi, in the wet and mud. The entry shows, bakery, dry goods. No wood to purchase for fire, no dry goods to purchase, had to go all the way back into town to eat lunch, dinner, No BBQ grills, just one huge fire pit. Quite the jaunt to get to running water, toilet.
- Susanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kylie (10/5): - We had a great evening at the property and enjoyed our stay in a tipi. The shared bathhouse was a ways from our accomodation but it was clean and had seperate showers and toilet areas. Linens, warm bedding, towels, and lanterns were provided with our accommodation. I could see how it may be chilly parts of the year, but we had all we needed for our stay in mid-June. Great, quiet location I would book again!
- Jennifer (10/5): - Wonderful! We saw the buffalo and the horses. Loved the wide open spaces. Close to town but feels remote. Free home cooked breakfast. Nice bathroom. Comfy beds
- Petra (10/5): - Great place, very quiet, great breakfast fresh made to order.
- Erin (10/5): Exceptional - Everyone was extremely friendly. Liked the secludedness of the property and the animals to interact with. It is very rustic. Not a lot of extravagant detail, but everything you need.
- Diane (10/5): - People have to remember this is a working ranch. The people there We’re all great and friendly. I definitely Will go back again. I felt like they Thought I was family but I have never meant them. It’s not fancy and I would not want it to be. The Breakfast was great and made per serving—not buffet. It’s outdoor Life and a ranch.
- Hudnall (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nancy (6/5): - Property and home very dated. Owner has had a tough go of it losing her beloved spouse. Shared bathroom was a problem as guests lingered for some time. Bedroom Devore very dated. Probably would not stay again.
- Karen (6/5): Pleasant -
- Darren (10/5): Great opportunity to stay in a while of Montana without being too far from civilization - Small, remote, great complementary breakfast Smallish beds
- Joel (10/5): We had a wonderful time at the Lonesome Dove guest Ranch. The property and staff were wonderful and it beat the horrible - This is a beautiful property and the perfect setting for a ranch. We enjoyed the fire pit near the sleeping area and it brought complete strangers together and provided the opportunity to meet and visit with others. The bathroom is a bit of a hike and could require patience if someone beat you to the shower. But it always worked out.
- Darren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aurélie (7/5): Good -
- Julia (8/5): - This place is so unique. It’s totally warm atmosphere like you came to visit your far away family. Farm around, so you can see chickens, horses, cows and even buffalo. I’m a city girl, it was so amused by it. Two friendly cats can meet and welcome you outside. Even wild turkey visited us! They ran to me as soon as I other door. And night! Omg! Those stars!!! You can’t see them in the city! You can make fire and gather together with another guests. Did I mentioned breakfast? Farm eggs! I ate my plate! Homemade huckleberry syrup! Definitely definitely go here! You won’t regret!
- Victoria (6/5): - It was a bit rustic for our taste. The owners were very nice. The surroundings were beautiful.
- James (1/5): Bad - Place was quaint. Tent was clean and comfortable. The tents provide little privacy and are on top of the other tents. If you like a communal experience, maybe this place is for you. Neighbors were a bit nosey and were staring in our tent. We arrived at the end of check in time and were told that showers were only available for the next hour due to cleaning. This was unacceptable after a day of hiking at Glacier. Also the pet Bison is a little cruel.
- Laura (7/5): Good - The shower house could use some updating
- Kristine (8/5): Peaceful time away from the city - Wonderful rustic setting and very friendly people. There was a small kerfuffle on check in. They didn’t seem to have record of our confirmation. Luckily I had your confirmation on my phone. But they couldn’t have been more welcoming. They need to mention that dinner reservations are required with 24 hour notice but town isn’t far. And the food products they produce on site is very local and good. Peaceful.
- Susan (2/5): Will never return. - Difficult to find cabin after dark. The room was filthy. 2 inches of dust under the bed. Ceiling fan coated in dust and spider webs. I felt sorry for the lone buffalo. Small pen. Coffe cup had dried creamer in bottom. Contacted front desk for clean cups. They never returned my call
- Beyer (8/5): Very good - Unique experience sleeping in Tipi No hand wash station outside of porta potty
- Daryl (6/5): - The tent we stayed was very spacious and clean. We had extra blankets which came in handy as the nights were cool. There was limited lighting in the tent, and the amenities were a fair distance away. Portable toliets were available closer to the tent.
- Jodi (8/5): Very good -
- Claudine (10/5): - Nicely remote and quiet. Very nice staff and owners, easy. 20 minutes drive to downtown restaurants.
- Fred (10/5): - It was great and the teepees wer awesome thx so much
- mirela (4/5): - The ranch has a good placement, the surroundings are beautiful. The teepee was not in a good shape, it couldn't be closed properly and unsafe. It was no protection against wild life and other creatures, all around it was open. We were told someone will wait until 7pm. We got there at 6:30 pm and it was just a note where to find the teepee. No service was offered. Not a very pleasant experience.
- Jodi (8/5): - Host was very nice. We thought we were renting a cabin. Turned out to be a bedroom with shared bathroom with other guest in the owners home. Little awkward for my liking.
- Larra (10/5): it was just perfect - Loved breakfast...we all did. it was fine
- Sean (8/5): A little slice of heaven - I really loved this place. The staff and owners were wonderful and gave us a personal tour of the place and got to see and get some good photos of the resident buffalo. The cabin was clean and spacious. Our neighbors were great.
- Mike (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was fantastic Nothing
- Carrie (6/5): - It's a beautiful place, was just surprised that we were sleeping in a tent ,thought we were getting a cabin.
- Travis (9/5): Superb -
- Robert (10/5): Not in a tux - We accidentally stayed here on business. That I would not recommend but if we were on vacation this would be a great spot. We didn’t expect this to be on hotels.com because it was a bit roughing it but we’ll worth it had we been on vacation. Breakfasts were fantastic
- Tracy (6/5): - I like the concept. The presentation is lacking. I found 2 different wifi instructions- neither one worked. There is nothing posted about checkout times. The bed was comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was good. The room was clean.
- Jenny (8/5): - I wasnt sure what we were getting into when this was booked. My son and I stayed in a wall tent. No electricity, TVs, or heaters, etc. Port o potty close by with shared bathroom a short, kinda fun walk away. Animals everywhere and its doggie friendly. Beds were super comfy and even though it got pretty cold, we stayed warm under the covers and it was just super fun to stay overnight like that. Wasps were out of control during the day. If you come here, just be ready to turn it all off and actually talk to your neighbors or maybe eben lose track of your cell phone. Dont need it here. There is wifi and it works great, but what was better were some of the people we met, and kitty cats that allowed us to pet them, haha. We will be back.
- Margaret (2/5): - Try he cabin was filthy and the accommodations were not as advertised.
- Elizabeth (2/5): - Definitely wasn’t what was represented online, bathrooms were far from the outdoor tent experience, limited lighting, dirty, uncomfortable feeling with some of the staff. The restaurant and check-in process were terrible. It smelled terrible… Like sewer, check-in was right by the restaurant the gal who checked me and had the filthiest hands I’ve ever seen and she had just left the kitchen. Felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. We let them know that we were uncomfortable and would not be staying, requested a refund. Specifically, the bathroom situation was uncomfortable for us due to limitations. But all of the other issues were unacceptable. We booked an alternative property. I requested a refund… I would like your help in retrieving that. Thank you!
- George (6/5): - Stayed in the TP, froze our butts off!
- Sherwood (9/5): Peaceful stay in a well kept guest ranch. - The property is a diamond in the rough. It really gives you the ranch experience. All was good
- Amy (10/5): - Quaint
- Bennett (6/5): It’s a Tee Pee - Stayed in the Tee-Pee. No heat, no electricity, very poor internet. If you don’t care about those things and want to rough it. The Tee-Pee may be for you. Overall experience was not bad for myself.
