Lonesome Dove Ranch

Perhaps value for price was okay. Stayed in a tepee. very spartan. Communal shower and toilet facilities were 250 yards away and not at all clean. They did provide toiletries however.

I will start that I was super excited about staying here, booked way in advance, and was ready for this Montana experience. It ended up with leaving and trying to find a hotel in Kalispell on Labor Day weekend, and paying for two stays. In communication with what I’m assuming was the owner, she basically called me a liar in all accounts. Started with saying the office was open, even though it clearly said closed. She stated I never picked up the map and instructions and they were still in the mailbox, even though I have the map in my possession. She stated I never called to report a problem, which my call log on my phone shows otherwise. She said I went to the wrong tent and that is why it wasn’t made up and I could call some random guy to talk to him about him leaving late, even though I went to the tent that was designated, called someone and they came down not once but twice and never said anything about me being in the wrong spot. It WAS the tent on the map! The bedding /tent was dirty and stained, which I also have photos of. Now I’m a country girl and fully understand that I’m not in a five star hotel, but cleanliness isn’t to much to ask for. It was disgusting. When I said I would forward over my phone log, pictures, and a copy of the map she said I didn’t have….communication completely stopped. Customer service and respectable communication speaks volumes, as well as cleanliness. I highly recommend finding somewhere else to stay!

It is adorable. I thought I was on a dude ranch. People were super nice and breakfast was simple and delicious. Room was clean. I want to bring my family back here again.

Its a ranch, nothing fancy. Our tent was exactly as pictured and met my expectation. The communal bathroom is a bit of a walk through a dirty grass path. The facilities match what I've experienced camping. If the bathhouse was closer and on a better path it would help. Was not letting wife walk at 0300 alone to pee. Only other issue is breakfast at 0830. Was up at 0500ish and headed out. No was i was hanging out for a meal and coffee. 0830 is a very late start. Overall, a good place to sleep.

Our stay at the Lonesome Dove was great. We arrived late and didn’t need to bother with anyone to check in. Super easy. The free breakfast is super home style. Super friendly staff too. We will stay again in the future.

It was just as advertised. The tent was comfortable, not heated, but the beds had warm blankets and we slept very well. The breakfast was outstanding. The bathhouse was a few minutes away. It would be nice in the future to expand it, since there was only one unit for men and one for women. The tent had no electricity, but we had a portable battery. Maybe you could run a line out to the tents, to at least provide one outlet. The wifi was adequate. These are only suggestions; we were very satisfied with our stay. My son even said he would definitely stay there again.

We were very surprised that the only shower, or bathroom ,available to the Tipis and tents was a quarter mile walk that you could not drive to. The nearby portapotty was not clean and lacked much paper. And if you stay in the Tipis their ceiling is wide open to any rain. Everyone froze at night if they didn't bring their own sleeping bag, the one thin blanket supplied was not enough. The first impression of the place was Appalachia. The breakfast was good.

The breakfast was good and kitchen staff were friendly. However the teepee sleeping experience was disappointing. On an afternoon with temperatures above 90 degrees F we were given no places to sit out of the sun as our teepee was in full sun... to hot to sit in. No chairs provided to sit outside in the shade. The walk to the bathhouse was along a dirt track for 330 feet. not close to teepee. we booked a trail ride in the morning but the horses were not prepared and the wrangler was not available... so we cancelled. We would not recommend.

We came to share a camp with our fellow scooter club. Our cabin was fantastic, the service was great and the staff are friendly.
