Here are just a few of the comments we've received from our guests:
Dave & Tami,
      Thanx for the hospitality!!  You were so helpful in all aspects of our  visit.  The house is stunning as is the surrounding area.  I could  not have asked for a better anniversary weekend.  
       What a beautiful place.  The entire cabin and grounds are perfect, and I  truly appreciate you going out of your way to provide us with information on  where to go and what to see.  We will definitely tell others to give this  place a try if they are looking for a Get Away.

    Dave and Tami,
      What a blessing you offer to those of us who are fortunate enough to stumble on  to your web site while looking for a remote cabin to get away from the "hurried  life".  I am from a rather remote place in Montana myself, but this place is  wonderful.  The nights of sleep have been so recuperative too.  The  air must be the freshest in the world, well it's one of God's favorite places  to hang out.  His presences here is very tangible and real.  You have  got not only a means of provision for yourselves, but a place of renewal for  those you offer your hospitality to.  Thank you both for the best  experience in the wilderness we have ever had.

Dave and Tami,
      After 10 years of Yaak visits, we have truly found a home away from home!   The cabin is snug, beautifully appointed and stocked with every possible pot,  blanket, etc, one could possibly need.  You told us that all we  needed to bring were our personal belongings and food and boy were you  right!  We had wonderful family meals; we slept so soundly with the Yaak  lulling us, and wine on the deck enjoying the sun sets was stupendous!  We  also want to thank you for your personal, warm hospitality and your frequent  check-ins with us, and your quick responses to our questions; we could not have  asked for more.  We look very much forward to frequent visits here in your  hide away!!

Dave & Tami,
      It's always so hectic to get organized and get out of town and then we arrive  into such a cozy place and we go ahhhhhh....and I find myself thinking "3  nights just isn't long enough!"  You have created a wonderful get  away; thank you for all the special homey touches.  And, isn't is  something to look out a bedroom window early in the morning and see TREES,  cedar hemlock, fir - covered with snow!  We loved exploring the ice covered  river - our hearts jumping when we could feel ice give way.  Also loved  fresh snow to track through, and our discovery of mountain lion tracks up the  Spread Creek area.  Time for laughter, knitting, reading, rest; time with  our families & our friends.  A perfect beginning for this new year.

Dave and Tami,
      Words are not enough to begin to express our gratitude to you both for allowing  us (and our "girls") to stay at your Hideaway.
      The comfort and coziness of the cabin, stocked with everything we could  possibly need, the beauty of the surrounding forest and river, and your  kindness in checking in to make sure we were OK.  You have been a God send  and we truly appreciate you!  We love it here!  Time will tell if we  will tell if we will be able to eventually make this area our home.  In  the meantime, we hope to come back again to your spot of paradise.  We  will keep in touch!  Thank You so much!

     We loved every minute of our time in the  Yaak!  No rainy days while we were here, which meant we go to explore many  hiking trails in the area.  The Fish  Lakes hike and Turner Falls  was great - a well-maintained trail and not a lot of people!
      The cabin was everything we could hope for.  Sitting on the deck in the  sun in the morning was glorious and in the evening we couldn't imagine a more  comfortable or peaceful place to be.
  We finally saw a  flying squirrel our last night - that was great!  This was our first visit  to the Yaak, even though we've lived not far away for many years.  We will  definitely plan to come back to this beautiful place.  Thanks for  everything, Dave and Tami!

      This is the best "cabin" we have ever stayed in.  IT IS MAGICAL!  We slept sooo well with the windows  open.  Almost every meal we cooked was eaten on the porch, watching the  sunset, listening to bird song, and enjoying the NW Montana forest..... and of  course, the Yaak.  For a hiking family, this is a great place to go!   Between Ross Creek Cedars, wildflowers, snowy peaks and wildlife (Mama and baby  moose, bighorn sheep, black bears, snowshoe hares) Montana seems to have it all!  We want  to come back later when it's a little less snowy to try Leigh Lake & NW   Peak.  Thanks for a  great stay, Tami and Dave!

What a Great Place!! We thought when we arrived, home sweet home away from home. We had a wonderful time while we were here. Everything was perfect fresh outdoors, no neighbors and pure tranquility. A time I will never forget and will cherish always. The memories and adventures were outstanding. We had all kinds of visitors from the wild. I got to pet a flying squirrel. Fishing was a bit of a challenge in the surrounding lakes, but we found that the river right out in front of the cabin was the best!! But, my favorite time was when the bears came to visit!! Right at our back door and around the porch. What a great time. Dave and Tami, this place is the best. Thank you for such a great time and adventure.

What a peaceful, relaxing setting. The Hideaway is very comfortable and has everything we could have needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & will definitely be back. We also enjoyed the flying squirrels and the big owl out front, but the Black Bears that came to the deck at night were the most exciting! Thanks so much for a wonderful escape. We're not looking forward to our return to traffic jams! I almost forgot, the starlit sky is unbelievable on a clear night.
