***WINTER GUESTS:
In the snowy winter months (especially February and March) we highly recommend four wheel drive, if not all wheel drive vehicles. Snow drifts can occur on roads and on the driveway. The trucks come to plow, however in heavy wind storms it is hard for them to keep up. This experiences true Montana winters! 😉
