We had a family reunion here and it was the perfect accommodations for our large group. My mother is in a wheelchair and was able to be with us wherever we went, thanks to the paved paths and handicap accessibility. There was a lot of variety for activities and space for all the things we planned.

The picnic area was perfect for our family reunion and had tons of things to do. It rained and the pavilion easily sheltered 45 people. We will be going back in the future. What a true Montana treasure!

The forest service was very cooperative and responsive! Loved working with them. They power washed the cow poop out of the pavilion for mine and my husband's wedding day! They TRULY went above and beyond.

We had our daughters wedding here. We love this place. It’s beautiful and a perfect place to get away and just focus on what’s important.
