Great house close to town
I spent two weeks staying in this house. We were very comfortable and close enough to town to go eat ot have a beer anytime we felt like it. I had a couple questions about stuff while i was there and the owner was very quick to respond every tine. He even gave us some fishing spot recommendations close by. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook ans there were plenty of bed linens. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved the area, it is located about 5 miles outside of town and felt so peaceful and relaxing, the folks who own the property are restoring an old passenger railroad car, next to there cabin. I think it is going to be awesome when it is competed.

Sunset Magazine Worthy...
This is a treasure of a property. The pictures don’t quite capture the sense of amazement you’ll feel on opening the door and realizing you hit the jackpot of vacation rentals: soaring ceilings, sunlight, views from every window, truly beautiful artwork, and the most unique collection of lamps – something I’ve never seen in a vacation rental and truly works of art on their own. We spent a lot of time looking at the collection of beautiful things that make this home seem like a featured property in Sunset Magazine. Excellent linens, an abundance of comfortable pillows, plentiful cookware and utensils, and a cool Montana breeze that is best felt with doors and windows open in the early evening, as the sun sets above the distant mountains. Andy is a gracious and communicative host who answered our questions and gave some excellent recommendations for things to do in the area. Nearby Ennis Lake is a lovely place to while away the afternoon heat, with a sandy beach, picnic tables and a few shade trees (it’s a BLM-managed property, so no requirement for a Montana Conservation License to enjoy). Madison Foods grocery store is comparable to a midsize urban market. Deemo’s Meats, right next door has an excellent selection of prime beef and homemade jerky (splurge on the ribeye steaks – you won’t be disappointed). Home and host have earned the excellent reviews. Book immediately and with confidence that you'll have a memorable time in Ennis, MT.

The amount of space is amazing or if you have kids the entire bunk room is made foe them.

Plus the hosts were super responsive

Spent christmas with daughter that lives in Ennis
It was perfect in every way. Conversation with Andy (owner) was easy. His response was very quick. We went there to spend xmas with our daughter who lives in Ennis. We had christmas on christmas eve with her and husband. The house was clean and very comfy! Andy and his son came to the property, he showed me his train car he will be restoring. My Dad had a Kaboose in the yard, we had something in common. We looked at several locations to spend xmas in Montana, could not be happier with the entire process. Extremely happy with our decision to stay at this property. if there was a negative, it was the drive from Pittsburg New Hampshire to Ennis Montana. That was our choice!! Would definitely contact Andy to stay again, no doubt probably will in the future.

Wonderful Stay!
This was a lovely place to stay where we got to see lots of wildlife around! Antelope galore and moose sightings by Ennis Lake! Our 4 legged partner in crime loved the property and being able to play fetch in the yard everyday! He also loved watching the horses across the street from the front door! Andy was super responsive before booking, after booking and upon arriving. Quickly answered questions and was available for anything we needed! The only ”downfall” to this place is there is no privacy between the master bedroom and the door to go downstairs or to the main bathroom. If your staying with a group of close friends or family like we were this won’t be a big problem! The location is super convenient to be far enough away from a lot of activities if you crave quietness but is a short ride away from in town where there are lots of good places to eat and explore.

About the host

Host profile image
Vicky and I live in Duluth MN. We got married in 2015 and have been visiting Montana ever since! We call it the "most beautiful place on earth!"

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because we fell in love with the town of Ennis, the mountain views and the rustic inside! This home felt like Montana to us and provided the space we were looking for (plus our son and daughter are Montana State graduates (Go Cats!) and we wanted to follow them!)

What makes this property unique

The deck views! Sunrise over the mountains on the back deck and sunset over the mountains on the front deck!
