"We had a wonderful stay here! The farm is absolutely picturesque and incredibly clean. The only minor thing to note is that there is no AC, but its listed on the discription so we knew about it ahead of time, it didn't take away from our experience at all. A major highlight of our trip was getting to meet the cows—especially Oreo, who was just awesome! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway"

10/10 Excellent
"When I found this listing on Vrbo, I was leery, bc it had few reviews. Not bc it wasn't popular, but new, so there were a few unknowns. I'm so glad we chose this property. Logan is a sweet little spot tucked away off the 90 between Three Forks and Manhattan. Very convenient for fishing, and close enough to Bozeman shopping. The property is large, fenced, grassy and covered in trees. We sat outside on the patio every day enjoying the peace. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. We stayed for three weeks. Cooked a lot, watched TV, read, laundry, and did lots of nothing, which was awesome. We were very comfortable and happy throughout our stay. I highly recommend this rental. I also recommend walking over to the Land of Magic for a steak."
