Many core memories were created during our stay. My family was in awe of the scenery, the sound of the water below, the horses, and the hammock all before we even entered the house. Upon entering, forgetting that houses in MT don't usually have a/c, we made ourselves as comfortable as possible in the current heat wave. Thankfully, fans were provided along with advice on when to open/close windows. We (or rather, my teen) realized that our cell service was non-existent. I assumed that wifi would be present but upon further investigation, it was not listed as an amenity but was offered for an additional cost in the welcome notebook. While tempting, we chose to forego the connection (shhh, don't tell my kids 😜) and accepted the off-grid challenge. It did not disappoint! Our first night there, we star-gazed and got to see a shooting star! Other nights we roasted smores over the propane firepit. Having the bear spray provided made us feel safer as well. Additionally, much to my delight, the Anne of Green Gables movie from the 80s was on-hand and I got to share one of my childhood faves with my family. I hadn't seen that movie in 25+ years and I recognized a large similarity between Anne and my youngest. We met the hostess, Danyalle, when her and hubs came to fill the horse's water trough. She gave us permission to feed them carrots! Beds were comfy and spice cabinet was well stocked (Old Bay!). Note: Due to a washed-out bridge, it now takes approx. 45 minutes to get to Gardiner.
