This property was in a good location and in a quiet neighborhood. It’s on the 14th green of a private golf course which was pretty cool.
Unfortunately, it has not received the love and care it needs to be at its best. I recognize that a large hail storm moved through several weeks before our stay so some of it might be out of the control of the rental company but there were no considerations made to account for that.
Why does the hail storm matter? Well 2 things. First, the deck was already in rough shape but I think the storm made it much worse. It wasn’t safe to step out on the deck without shoes since splinters were a big concern.
The 2nd is the heat. Montana’s hottest time of day is in the early evening and the house would get super warm. The Air Conditioning works but it barely pushes any cooling air through the house (if you feel the vent it’s cold but there’s maybe the tiniest trickle of air). The house was close to 80 degrees most of the evening. With the hail storm, most of the window screens were ripped and so opening the windows to try and get some air movement meant letting in a bunch of mosquitos so that wasn’t really an option.
The last thing which was kind of confusing was the internet. We had someone that needed to join a business meeting the first day we were there but both internet networks provided did not work. I texted the rental company but did not hear anything back. One of the wifi networks would work intermittently but be forewarned that both are DSL and impossible to jump on a video conference. We ended up using the hotspot off a phone. Upgrading the internet would really help anyone looking to work and travel.
All in all, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was a good size and it was spacious for 2 couples. There are also 2 bikes in the garage which was a nice touch.
