Winter Stay over the Christmas Break

Despite the size, style, and location of the house being impressive, the state of the property upon arrival was very disappointing. There were dead bugs throughout (to the point that it was difficult to feel comfortable) - on floors, furniture, window sills, in sinks, closets. There were dirty plates in the cupboard, a shredded dish cloth caught in the garburator, a soiled toilet seat, and much of the main floor hardwood was dirty. The hot tub was also stone cold and unusable for 2 days until the unit was serviced and the water reached temperature. Garage parking was limited due to owners' possessions. There was also no way to lock the property unless you exited through an overhead garage door, which was inconvenient (we realize the community is gated, but many times the gate was left open). Our concerns with cleanliness were communicated to Stay Montana the evening we arrived, and a housecleaner was sent out the following day. However, she literally accomplished nothing despite knowing our concerns and left the home in the same state as it was found (which was bizarre and frustrating).

Gorgeous house with insane views

This house is stunning. Everything is top of the line and there is space for everyone and everything you want to do. The hot tub is nestled right on the edge of the mountain and the outdoor firepit is a nice touch. The master suite made me never want to leave. If you’re looking for luxury, this is it!
