I'm still on cloud 9 from my visit so I think now is the perfect time to write this review. We…read moreopted to go for the adult only retreat as our youngest child (the only one left) had no desire to go and if we weren't taking our kid we certainly didn't want to deal with anyone else's. Going into this trip I didn't know much, other than they had horses and that was what I wanted to do - ride horses. We arrived really early in the morning and was picked up at the airport, which was the size of a postage stamp. It was really easy to find our person, who grabbed our bags and loaded them into the trailer while we sat in the van. Met some others that were on the trip on the way to the lodge. Upon arrival they had a tent setup in the front where they greeted us, gave us a bag with a map of the property and list of that week's activities, told us our rooms weren't ready yet but they would find us when they were. Now - I'm going to note that they said they would find us when our room was ready and I didn't think they really would. We continued to check in to see when the room would be ready, but then later I saw them literally hunting someone down to give her keys - so they will indeed find you. When we checked in the room was a standard lodge room, we had a fridge but our friends didn't, in mentioning this in passing to the staff they brought them a fridge. Talk about service! We spent the next four days riding horses mostly, but also enjoying the company of the other guests and hearing stories from the staff. While we were really heavy on the horse rides we also enjoyed taking a tour of the elk preserve and clay sporting. We got a ride up to the yoga spot for a view (weren't too keen on hiking up there) and spent a good amount of time in the bar with fellow guests chatting up the staff. Everyone was amazing and so accommodating- I had said it was a bucket list trip but the staff at the Averill ranch has me seriously considering returning next year. Thank you for the memories.

I don't consider this a resort, but it is a great place to stay if you are traveling to Bigfork…read more It's older, but most of it has been rennovated. The rooms are a combination of hotel rooms and VRBO's. Most of the units are owned and then rented out through the resort. There is a pool, hot tub, tiki bar, docks, water views. Its close to boat rentals, restaurants and bars in down town Bigfork. Walking distance for those that like to walk. I'm a local and I appreciate that the restaurant stays open all year. The grounds are kept up nicely.

Chef Ante was doing a soft open and it was just the local's and him and Tina running the front of house. This cute little house turned into a homestyle restaurant is AMAZING. Now if you think I"m just exaggerating, read any of my other reviews or know I'm a snob. Or even better come check it out for your self. How welcoming they were it felt like going to a loved families house and sitting down together for a home made meal. Because that is what it was. Food, I mean, come on! The lamb chops seasoned and cooked to perfect, nice char on the outside with a lite pink on the inside. The Ragu on home made tagliatelle was so beautiful, not to rich like some other you night have had, but able to taste all the flavor in the dish. A special if you can get it they were trying out here was the Chewapchichi (Cevapi), a form of Kofta / Meatball made in Chef Anton's Croatian style. That is not the Meatball that is on the menu in a soft tomato sauce!!! Basically we started with the Shrimp Tostada app and the Clams & Chroizo and just decided to ask for the whole menu for the family. I could go on, but just come see for yourself and enjoy for sure.

They had a welcoming reception for approximately 75 guests with a catered beer wine menu. Friday was a catered rehearsal dinner. We were told we could not access property until 3:30 Wednesday. Ice truck was showing up at 12:00 so someone being me had to meet them to show Them where to put it. The owner Mike is his name came and meet us and showed where to put the ice. I wanted a feel for the property as I was the caterer. We were there a hour and left. Within minutes of leaving my partner in catering received a phone call from Mikes wife bitching that we accessed the property before 3:30. Husband Mike never mentioned it and was helpful. We used the kitchen for assembly only. All cooking was done on my Blackstone out doors. The brides parents put down a $2,500 deposit. They were informed they were getting docked $500 from over use of the property...lol, not damage, not from lack of not cleaning up etc. Pam had excuse after excuse of why they were keeping $500.00..Overuse of the property was her final answer, the brides family had paid dearly to use...I'm guessing the owners Mike and Pam need to figure shit out.. Greed is my final answer. Sad...will never recommend this venue again... we did recommend it to this family..I feel horrible for doing so...
