The hayloft was closed for maintenance, but the bunkhouse was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The heater kept my little dog and I cozy all night. A great place to stay!

The land looked very nice, but I was only there for a few hours to sleep before leaving again. Seemed great, but didn’t get to spend a lot of time there

Elicia and her family were wonderful and very welcoming! My two young sons (2 & 4) and I were passing through while on an extended road trip just after my husband deployed. I felt very safe, and my boys loved interacting with the farm animals! I hope we have another opportunity to pass through, so we can stay again!

We stayed in the rustic bunkhouse and it was so nice. I think it’s nicer in person than it looks in the pictures. Their dog OLF was an excellent host and made my dog feel very comfortable. Becky checked to make sure we had everything we needed and it was a very comfortable stay.

This was a great place for a night’s stopover on my way across the country. Hosts were super nice and pleasant to chat with. I ordered firewood and they had paper and matches to get it started which was a nice touch.

Becky is a wonderful host! We stayed in the red barn and thought it was an absolute delightful experience. The barn was comfortable and Becky even provided an air mattress for my kids to sleep on. I will 100% recommend staying here and would love to book again on a future trip through Great Falls.

She gave us the option between the bunkie and hayloft. We let the kids choose, and the bunkie won. It gave us a little feel of being “little house on the prairie” and we enjoyed our time very much.

Elicia made me feel right at home. The camp is in historic Fort Shaw. The fort is in walking distance as is the military cemetery. Beautiful countryside and the Sun River is close by. Right down the road is Big Sky Deli in Vaughn with all kinds of meats, cheeses, pastries, kombucha and provisions. I love the sounds of the farm animals and so did my pooch! :) I would definitely stay here again!

My husband and our two pups had a great time staying at this cute bunkhouse and barn loft. Becky was very accommodating and switched us over to the bunkhouse since the weather was chilly during the time we were there. The property is beautiful and peaceful and our dogs loved playing with their pup Olf! We had a great time, thank you again!

We loved camping here and would absolutely come back! Elicia was so easy to work with (especially for being on short notice!) and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Quite a nice location, the outhouse was great, and the farm animal sounds were a fun bonus. Our family 100% recommends this spot!
