This is really Montana at its best with Big Sky's hospitality and a deep sense of hospitality. Our cowboy Jordan checked us in the only remaining executive suite, after my brother in law kindly offer that room to us. The room is super spacious and comfortable with the rustic charm of western comfort! Their Wi-Fi was not working properly and Jordan got it fixed in a minute. Their blanket service is fantastic with super clean and individual plastic cover. Overall this is by far the best "Best Western" I have had the chance to visit. A little bit outdated but everything is top notch! Happy Fourth of July to all Yelpers!

It is partially on our side so that's odd too. We've traveled every state in this country over a 10 year period and I've never seen that allowed but here we are.

This is my third consecutive summer here. The park has lost its caretakers of 16 years due to a…read morechange of ownership. The new ownership is run by the son-in law of the new owner, his name is Joel. Joel is spread very thin. He is the general manager and has responsibilities that include running the RV park, motel, Flathead Marina, and the Harbor Grille Restaurant. He is a nice man who tries very hard. His upper management is good, ie...Mariah...His day to day operations are handled by very responsible young men and women from area high schools and perhaps colleges. I had an emergency at the marina that required paramedics. These young people where so helpful. They rose to the occasion and went above and beyond their responsibilities. Their are area where improvement is needed. The reservation system, the dog park and perhaps some additions like Pickleball or workout facility. HOWEVER, the parks location is awesome. Right across from Flathead Lake. Their is a boat ramp, restaurants, coffee shops, water sport rentals, fishing charter, and banks. There is a small grocery store, and several gas stations. The RV park is only 45 minutes from Whitefish, 20 minutes to Kalispell or Big Fork and 50 minutes to Polson, or Glacier. The cost is consistent with other RV sites. Unfortunately, I cost to stay continues to escalate. The place has the potential to be great, lots of land and potential. I will conclude with this everyone is kind.

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.

However, the couple that manage it are so kind, friendly, and inviting I would be doing them a disservice by not leaving a review. First off the price, compared to everything else during high season right now the Travelodge in Kalispell is going for $440 a night, whereas this is going for less than half that, with his own private beach on flathead lake. The rooms are cute and quaint with just about everything you could need, but I literally have a lake view outside my room, they are pet friendly, and a couple managing. It will warm your heart.

This…read moreis in no way a place where your room has a lovely view of the lake or access to it unless you try crossing the highway and into private properties. Parking is limited and one night upon our return there was no space. Getting to your room is a small sidewalk that is highly in needed of trimming to actually walk through without being smacked in the face. WiFi was terrible with one bar service. The room (Bali) was spacious but the functionality of it could be so much better. Get rid of the dusty plastic plants and put in some end tables or extra seating. Put a large mirror outside the one bathroom to allow guests to get ready when bathroom is in use. The bathroom was huge but it had a pedestal sink that offered no room for toiletries or hot tools. Plenty of space to add a larger sink, even a dresser. The mirror was useless and the size of a small plate. The bathroom mat was old and soaking wet when we arrived and during our stay the toilet clogged and must be common because a plunger was provided but didn't work well. Not fun things to deal with as a mom on vacation. The fans and windows were caked in dust. I'm always looking for stray socks when we leave and under the couch was full of things you wish you didn't see. I did like the chairs outside and the sauna was interesting but small and I never felt comfortable enough to join when it was in use. Also it had no instructions on how to use it. Service was nonexistent. No office area or help. Not sure how long I would have waited if the toilet didn't unclog after my 10 minutes of trying or where our family would have had another facility to use in the meantime. As for the rooms having different themes-Montana is special and this area especially close to Glacier National Park-why not celebrate that uniqueness and beauty and have the decor match it with local art or cabin feel? People travel from all over to come here, not to see a room decorated like Bali because that certainly wasn't it, but to feel like Montana. There is potential here with a correct price point and frankness about lake access and view, but I'm never staying here again.

So, we spent a few nights here 1 1/2 years ago and we felt very unwelcome. I had emailed with the owners before making our reservations to make sure they could accommodate our food preferences, and they said they could. We booked the nicest, most expensive room and were looking forward to our stay. Upon arrival, the summer host ( I don't recall his name) really killed our joy. We introduced ourselves, and since my name is not common, I said a little helper tip for him to pronounce it, to which he replied, "I'm not even going to try" and then he just talked to my husband. He then asked if in addition to our food preferences we had "any other crazy requests". Wow, we spent $1400 and within 2 minutes of arrival this guy totally dismissed us. Everything after that was dim. We absolutely would not return, nor would I recommend this place to others.
