We got married here, and we absolutely loved this venue…read more The staff and our day-of coordinator were incredible--so organized, attentive, and truly invested in making everything perfect. The outdoor ceremony with the mountain views was absolutely stunning and made our day feel so special. The bridesmaids' cabin was perfect for getting ready--beyond spacious and decorated so cute. The groomsmen's cabin is smaller, but it has a basketball hoop and other activities for the guys, which was perfect while the girls (of course) took a little longer getting ready. The DJ they provided was super friendly and helpful, and everything flowed so smoothly throughout the day. Communication was easy from start to finish, and the team really went above and beyond for us. The food was also delicious--we did a buffet-style setup, and it worked perfectly. Everything moved so efficiently, and our guests loved it. The pictures truly say it all, but I honestly wish I could relive this day over and over again. I'm so thankful for such an amazing experience. Highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding!

The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and the DJ was incredible--but unfortunately, the staff…read morecompletely ruined the experience. I never leave reviews, but this was so disappointing it felt necessary to warn others considering this venue. From the moment we arrived, the staff were rude and controlling. We were told that even one drop of spilled beer would result in a $1,000 cleaning fee--an absurd threat that set an aggressive tone right away. The makeup studio situation was even worse. Although we were told we had until 8:00 PM to clean up, by 7:30 all of our belongings--thousands of dollars worth--had already been packed up without our knowledge and thrown haphazardly onto the curb. Personal items, including purses and expensive makeup kits, were scattered with no care or organization. It was a nightmare trying to sort through everything, especially knowing we had early flights to catch the next morning. We weren't even given a warning or a grace period. To top it off, the staff continuously policed guests' behavior. They made condescending comments like, "Wow, another drink already?" and told guests to "pace themselves," even though everyone was respectful and under control. They confiscated the bride's personal beer bong, saying it wasn't allowed--fair enough if that's the policy--but when I politely asked for it back to put in our car, they refused and said I couldn't have it until after the wedding. Again, it was our personal property, and we weren't causing any disruption with it. This wedding was meant to be a joyful celebration, but the staff's attitude and behavior made it feel tense and hostile. If you're considering this venue, think twice. The location may be beautiful, but the experience left a terrible taste in our mouths. Adding on to my review: One of the most upsetting parts I forgot to mention was how the owner spoke to the bride's grandmother about the makeup room. She was so rude that she actually made the grandmother cry--which is absolutely unacceptable. The checkout time was 8:00 PM, yet all of her belongings were already thrown out on the curb by 7:30, with no warning or grace period. She was understandably distressed, worried about thousands of dollars in personal items that had been carelessly tossed around. To treat anyone like that is unacceptable--but to reduce someone's grandmother to tears on her granddaughter's wedding day? That's beyond disappointing.

Everything about our experience was great. Chum was so nice and helpful and spent an hour and a half showing us around the property so that we could figure out if it was the right spot for us.

Our experience here was so entirely terrible that my review can not fit in this space, no matter…read morehow much I try to decrease the word count. Nothing about our contract was honored, they completely took advantage of us and really, the entire mess led to the downfall of the entire wedding. Everything fell apart. All because of the owners of this venue. Even though we visited the venue twice and thought we knew Chum and Sally, it blew up in our faces. Please, please please. If you're thinking of using Springhill, message me for our story at ariellelee16@gmail.com and I'll be happy to fill you in. Please, learn from our experience--these people took advantage of us and even mentioned that the contract was a "milk and candle" (milk the customers, torch the contract) to several of our guests. Chum was creepily controlling and kept calling our B and B asking "where the bride was". They watched us say our vows from their windows and doors. Set up was actually where everything fell apart. It was so heartbreakingly bad we can't even look at our wedding photos. Plus, I'm sure many think that Chum especially seems so "Montanan" with his fun little stories (and the fact he owns a ranch and calls himself Chum)? Well, we found out that Chum comes directly from massive family money from out east--his family is Bank of Boston. And Sally? Not authentic either. Her family owns a fortune from catalogues. These two are wildly rich phonies taking massive sums of money just to let people walk on their grass. They do no clean up and provide nothing. Your money directly goes into their already fully lined pockets. Bottom line: our contract may as well not have existed. They broke everything about the contract and we were helpless to do a thing about it. All we are left with is a ruined wedding and complete heartbreak. My husband had a nervous breakdown after dealing with these people. Our one special day never happened. It was the worst day of our lives. And it's all because of the venue owners. One thing that was very disconcerting was that they seemed not to even remember they showed us around once before--if you do use this venue, get everything EVERYTHING written down in emails or recorded on your phone. I was half afraid Chum was getting dementia for all the things he promised and then recanted on. Sally too. This goes as deeply as the very day we chose for our wedding--they recommended a certain day and I booked it and later they claimed not to remember doing so and that it never happened. Again, contact me for the full story please. Learn from our experience. ariellelee16@gmail.com

I'm pretty loyal to my normal hotel brands but we decided to stay at the Kimpton Armory Hotel…read moreBozeman because we got a good offer through my credit card. To be quite honest, I don't think I'd stay here again when in Bozeman, depending on the circumstances. The hotel is nicely situated near Main Street and is an easy walk to many of the shoppes and restaurants in the area. Checking in was fairly easy and the person working the desk was extremely informative and friendly. The lobby was decorated nicely, with plenty of seating. It was strange that there were just stairs up to the front door, the accessible entrance was all the way around the building. We checked out other areas by the lobby. You can walk up to the balcony of the theatre and take a look at it from there. It was being decorated for Nutcracker brunch so it was super cute when we saw it. We visited the restaurant and both the bars. We also joined the social hour a couple of times. The social hour is great and I appreciated that they did this. We went up to the pool but didn't swim. It was nicely heated so you could be in it year-round. Our room was clean and smelled nice when we entered. The bed was comfortable and clean. We were on the 8th floor so there were no people sleeping above us so it was nice and quiet after the bar closed. For some of the flaws, I booked a mountain view and would not do that if staying here again. The train horn was super loud and went on all night. The shower leaked and the water landed on the huge metal plate over the drain. It was the loudest thing ever and we ended up having to put a towel in the shower to dampen the sound in order for us to sleep. Also, the fire alarm had a really erratic light that made no sense and sometimes lit the whole room up in an eerie green light. These flaws were fairly manageable. The worst thing (and the reason I might not stay in this hotel again) was late check out. They do it "first come, first serve" here, meaning you have to call around 7am to try to get a late check out, which is just given to you, no question about WHEN you need to check out. We decided to just hang out at the airport for the rest of our time because our late check out was just one hour. They also don't preemptively re-key your card, you have to wait until you can't get into your room anymore.

We wish we could give this place 6-stars! We rented the barn for our daughter's wedding and stayed…read moreat the adjacent lodge for several days leading up to the big day. The barn is charmingly old but very clean and well-maintained. The grounds are peaceful, gorgeous and impeccably manicured. Dan & Nancy are warm and welcoming people and will see that you are comfortable and well-cared for. This is not an all-inclusive venue, but they have a number of excellent local caterers, florists, etc. that they can put you in touch with. Danica, their daughter, was our event coordinator and made sure everything ran smoothly to make for a perfect day. The backdrop for the wedding, which was outdoors, was the Bridger Mountain range and made for a nice setting and outstanding pictures & video. Now for the lodge. Wow, our jaws dropped when we first saw it. A large and beautiful log home that we stayed at, just steps from the wedding barn. Several family members stayed with us and we all had plenty of space and privacy. A fully-equipped kitchen, basement billiard table, and TLC decorating touches all make for a cozy place to spend time. You could rent the lodge separately if you wanted to stay there and enjoy outdoor recreation or winter sports. You will NOT be disappointed.
