The property is beautiful, and very peaceful. There is a good amount of space between them, and if I’m ever in the area again I would definitely book a globe-worth the experience! For an easier check in, just confirm which space you’re staying and the code prior to arrival.

Beautiful views! Devon responded quickly to any requests we had. The majority of the property isn’t mowed. We’d definitely come back if there were some more mowed areas for tent campers.

I loved the fact that you could drive in, pick your view, and then park your vehicle and you were in for the night. Road noise was not a bother as it quiets down later in the evening. And the views to the west are really great.

Great experience ! My dogs LOVED running in the field and chasing marmots! Met some cool neighbors that invited me to a flint knapping workshop! The bed was comfy and has two heaters to keep me warm! Great stay, highly recommend it

I LOVED staying in the yurt! The scenery will take your breath away! We were worried about them being warm enough and they were so so cozy and absolutely PERFECT!!! I wish I could have stayed for a week! This was great for a one day stay too! Bon fires-Badmitton-our dog-hikes!!!! I cannot wait to go back!!!!

Woke up to beautiful views! Was a little unclear of where to set up camp at first, but the area boarding the wildlife refuge and behind the yurts is fair game! Couple of folks were there to help me figure it out!

We had a great stay! The views were beautiful, it was very quiet, and it was so close to wander around the Lee Metcalf refuge. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for having us!

A large field for tent camping that backs up to the wildlife preserve. There was a little creek at the back of the property which we enjoyed listening to and hearing all the birdsong. It is off a busy county highway so you definitely hear road noise as well. There were a couple of sites in shade - most are fairly exposed,

Great yurt. Comfortable with all the right amenities. Beautiful views. Just wish we had a clear sky for star gazing.

A very cute site located outside Missoula! The campsite looks directly onto a wildlife refugee. It’s essentially an open lot and you can setup wherever you want. There are portipotties on site. Another reviewer said that the street near the lot is loud, we didn’t have any issues or even hear the road.

The yurt was beautiful and very comfortable. The view from the back of the yurt was gorgeous. It literally backs up to a wildlife preserve and the Bitterroot mountains are right there also. Seriuosly this view can't be beat. The views from the front and the south side, not so much. The owner is developing this land and others to inlude several glamping sites which is fine. However, he has a large work building near this yurt which is a junk pile and his workers sometimes in the evening congregate around it. I think one or two of them actually lived there in RVs. Once we figured out who they were we were a little less concerned and the guys were not obnoxious or loud. The yurt is close to a major road but traffice dies down at night. This isn't a great site if you want to be more isolated but it beats the heck out of any motel or hitel experience.

This site was a bit disappointing. I hope the host will work out the issues we had to ensure a better camping experience for others. That being said, I understand that there are things that are out of their control so I'd like other campers to realize that part of this review is aimed at informing them of what they can expect regardless of whether improvements are made by the host.
THINGS THAT CAN'T BE HELPED:
1. The site is right next to a main road so it's not very quiet. Nothing to be done about this but to wear earplugs or noise cancelling headphones if that bothers you.
2. Neighbors or bar somewhere close by was playing loud music pretty late and we found it hard to sleep the first night. (To be fair, we were there around the 4th of July)
3. This is not really a developed site. There is a yurt on the property and it looks like some other structures are going in, but those are listed separately. For people that are camping outside it's basically an untouched field. You may have to hunt for a good flat patch for your tent. We did fine one and it worked out just fine, but it really is undeveloped dispersed camping in field.
THINGS THAT COULD BE BETTER:
1. We picked a spot as far from the road as we could to avoid the noise but over a couple of days we found several of pieces of metal buried in the dirt - scratched myself a few times walking through the grass in sandals. Guess I could have worn shoes, but it's still not great to have to look out for something like that, especially at night.
2. We messaged the host to ask whether burning a fire was okay and never heard back. We actually never heard from the host at all which was a surprise given the positive reviews about communication.
CONCLUSION:
This was an okay place to sleep at night, but I didn't find it particularly relaxing with the road noise, loud neighbors, and metal trash buried in the dirt. I wish communication from the host was better. There was nothing that needed addressing urgently, but the other reviews suggested a positive interaction with a caring host. Since I never met them I can't comment about how the interaction would have been, but it still would have been nice to get a response to our message.
We actually left a couple of nights early for a place further up north, and we were happy to have moved on.

Very easy to find, lots of space and beautiful views. Was a great spot for a night outside Missoula.

It was a really cool experience but it was a very hot day and the Yurt just held the heat. The decoration was adorable and looks like on site they are in [progress of making many more. Also not very suitable for sleeping 6 comfortable. 2 or 3 yes. Also my family really enjoyed the Montana-opoly supplied there.

Driving into the back of the property and seeing nothing but the expansive wildlife preserve was amazing. I pulled out my binoculars and gazed out there for hours - saw countless deer and birds! Watching the sunset set behind the Lolo mountains nearby was spectacular as well - prettiest sunset I have personally ever seen. The mosquitos are pretty intense due to being right next to the water at the wildlife preserve - one night we thought it was raining (hard), but the next morning everything was dry. We then figured out that at night, the bugs are just everywhere - my wife wasn't a huge fan of that but other than that, it was beautiful here.

A wonderful property overlooking the Bitterroot mountains and adjacent to Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge. If you love birding, this is heaven on earth. If you enjoy looking at a vast landscape this is also for you. Property is large enough to accommodate many guests without being on top of each other. Do you bring mosquito spray as mosquitoes can be aggressive during early evening hours. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Great spot in the edge of the wildlife refuge. We brought our own tent but the yurts were set up really nicely and the host Devon was great. We will definitely be back!

Make sure to take a stroll through the meadow! There is a path to get to the trail by the last spot under the large ponderosa tree! Enjoyed the bird watching and got a good laugh over the fire pit! Nice touch! Hosts were super nice and accommodating! Would stay again if in the area!

We arrived late and left early, so unfortunately we were unable to meet the host. However, the site was lovely! You can tell the host puts in a ton of effort to maintain the area. The bathroom was clean and well maintained as well as decorated nicely. Since we got there later, we weren't really able to explore the area, but it was truly beautiful. A great place to stay the night!

The yurt was cozy, comfortable, and clean. I stayed there a few months ago and it was still a work in progress at that point so I'm sure it's even better now! The bird watching was incredible. The only downside was the mosquitoes, but that's just Montana in the summer, I think, and nothing a bit of bug spray and some mosquito netting can't fix. Thanks for a great stay!

Lee Metcalf Wildlife-ELUV8 Complex
This place was great. View over the refuge out to the Bitteroots. Lots of birds. Sunset was phenomenal. Would highly recommend meadow for serenity and farther from road. We have been in a 24’ RV across country for 2 months and this was in top 3 spots. Thanks Devon!

This was a beautiful place to camp! Very private, incredible views and felt very safe. Very unique experience to wake up overlooking the bird sanctuary. We were able to pick a spot away from the main area easily. The main area looked wonderful too, just not what we were looking for this time. The hostess Desiree stopped by the first night and was very accommodating and generous. We were very excited to hear about their future plans for this place! Can't wait to visit again!
