Amazing

To be honest we weren't sure what to expect but the property is gorgeous and the town of Big Fork is incredible. Lee is a fantastic host and the beds in the teepee's are quite comfortable also the washroom facilities are great. 10/10 would definitely stay here again! Thank you Lee!

My motorcycle adventure

Staying in a tipi was a great way to end my trip through beautiful Montana. There were deer in the meadow and I could an owl hooting both nights I was there.

Unique Montana experience

We had the absolute BEST experience here! The host, Lee was so kind and accommodating and had an adorable cat which made our stay that much better. It’s a very fun experience and the outdoor shower was a hit! Would highly recommend this spot for a cute weekend getaway. Lee is also a talented artist and we were lucky enough to watch his glass blowing

Connect back to the land

We love the tipis because they take us back to our connection with the Earth. We love looking at the stars at night and staying in simplicity. And just a hop skip and a jump away is the lake, food, etc. we absolutely this love this place and Lee is a super awesome human. His glass blowing is out of this world.

Great experience, awesome tipi's

It was my first time ever, even camping. The tipi was fenomenal! The peaceful surrounding, priceless! Lee was super friendly and his artistic glass blowing was astonishing! He gave us a tour of his glass blown shop and we toured the gallery. Must see! Until I got used to it, the only downfall for me was the restroom, but after a while it was totally fine. LOVED the outside solar shower!! We wish we could have stayed longer than the two days and will surely return as soon as chance is given. Coming from Florida this was a whole new lovely experience! I'm used to conventional hotels, but will take this again in a heartbeat! It was all about the experience! Thank you Lee for sharing and for being so relaxed.

It was a unique experience and I slept well. The bed was comfy, but I did keep on thinking about the grasshoppers that were also in the tipi. The view from out of the door was great and communication was great.

Not what we expected!

No floor in tent; tent not secure to ground; I love cats, but not when they jump on me after midnight when sleeping!!! I can do with basic amenities, such as no shower and walking to the restroom, but NO HOT WATER!?!? The toilet that was available was filthy - no attempt to have cleaned it for possibly years!! Host was there at checkin, but I asked via messages several questions after we arrived and I never heard from him again!! We paid for 2 nights, and didn’t go back after the first night!! Pictures showed tepees at night glowing, implying that there were lights of some kind inside - there were NO LIGHTS! The outside solar lights were scarce and very dim; outside furniture was old and unsafe to sit on. Very bad experience!! I’m still suffering from ptsd from the cat jumping on us in the middle of the night!! Camping should be fun, not terrifying!! On the plus side: beautiful property, the bed was comfortable (until the cat attack!) and host is an excellent glass worker and had an interesting shop.

Magical Place, Great Host

Such a unique experience! We had an amazing stay and just loved sitting in front of the tipi gazing out at the massive mountain range and listening to the coyotes howling in the distance. Lee was a fantastic host and made us feel welcome and comfortable. I highly recommend this one!

Highly recommend to adventurer's.

The rental process was easy. Lee was a great host who responds back timely with questions and concerns (if any). If I needed something he got it for me. The property exceeded my expectations. The teepee was huge! The bed was comfortable and came with a little night stand and small bench. Do expect crickets and few other small insects. They don’t bother you at all. Nights were nice and cool so I experienced no sweating at all. That was a concern of mine since there’s no AC. The outdoor shower works but you’ll need a small light source if showering at night. I used my phone. There’s a cat as well that slept with me my third night. Super friendly. The views were amazing with the mountains in front of you off in the distance when you exited your teepee. The bathroom was indoor and real close to the teepee if you needed to go late at night. 10/10 I’d stay again. I dig stuff like this. What an experience.

Son loved staying in the Tipee!

Lee, the owner, was terrific and helpful. We stayed in the main house (see review) and rented two of the tipees for my son and his friend. They loved the setting and the outside shower.

The tipi was an awesome experience to camp in. The property is very beautiful and peaceful. The location is conveniently placed close to town and the lake. The Glacier National Park is also about 40 minutes away which makes the tipi a good home base location. The host, Lee, was very communicative, helpful, and always made sure I had everything I needed. Would stay again 10/10.

well worth the experience and then some

What a cool host and amazing experience. I was concerned it would be too hot on a very hot day; but it was cool in the evening and the bed was comfortable. The host is an artist and very chill and friendly. Very close to Big Fork, yet you are immersed in nature with great views of sunrise and sunset. I will go out of my way to stay there again.

WOW!!

What an amazing experience. Just as described moderate level glamping. Property is gorgeous and use of bathroom in shop adds a funky, artistic feel to the experience. Lee even snuck out early and closed the rain flaps on our teepee for us. Truly a gift to get to experience this property.

Peaceful and Relaxing

Check in was easy and location easy to find. Beautiful location! So quiet. So. So. quiet. Simple, nothing fancy. Outdoor shower, basic toilet and sink. A perfectly distinguished black and white cat greeted us when we used the restroom, and waited for a scritch under the chin after we came out. It rained, it was cold, but the bedding kept us very warm. It was the perfect morning to wake up and have a cup of coffee and watch the fog roll away. We ate dinner at a local spot, then came back and had wine in plastic cups sitting on the bed listening to the rain. Wish we lived locally, we’d visit more often for a peaceful getaway. Perfect for those looking to getaway with no distractions (except for the cat, which we found charming and found a reason to visit the studio to see him a couple times) Thanks Lee! We will be back someday!!

TeePee Heaven

The property is quiet with views of distant mountains. The teepee was a delight to sleep in, hearing the wind and rustling leaves put me right to sleep. The description online fit the property. I think most who would like to sleep in a teepee would give this property a 5 stars rating.
