The Roberts Rest Stop is one of Montana's seasonal rest areas, open from Mid-April through…read moreMid-November. It's accessible from either the north- or south-bound lanes, but when coming from the south, would require a left turn. It's a standard rest area, with parking for trucks and cars, and includes handicap accessible areas. There's a small picnic area and also a pet-walking area. I don't remember seeing any vending machines, and that makes sense at this rest stop given its seasonal availability. It's a nice area to get out and stretch or give the kids and your four-legged companions a break.

It's conveniently located in…read moreBig Timber, Montana and makes for an excellent overnight stop since there is a Tesla Supercharger a couple of blocks away at the Sinclair station. The motel is well-appointed, with recently renovated "deluxe" rooms as well as regular rooms. I've only stayed in the deluxe rooms, which were very comfortable and perfectly clean. All rooms share a large covered deck between them and the parking lot, providing great shelter in bad weather and a nice place to sit and chill in good weather. There is ample parking with room for larger vehicles and trailers. The motel is pet friendly and chargers a modest $15 pet fee. Be sure to let them know if you have a pet when you're booking. Staff is very friendly and the housekeeper even shared a story about how the motel was the filming site of the movie The Horse Whisperer. Cool!

And, forget about being able to recharge all your devices at once (being an older building, there very few easily accessible outlets). But, if you want a place that is clean and comfortable, and the staff nice, then this is a good place to lay your head for the night. While this small (only 12 or so rooms) motel is a bit out dated, it's one if the cleanest places that I've ever stayed at (eby - even before Yelp :-D ). The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is the standard Continental affair. Being old school (or, maybe just old, ugh), I was surprised that being an independent place, they didn't have cash discounts. So, to me, the price of $96 seems a bit high to me for a bare-bones place like this. Also, something they do that I wasn't happy to see: they write your c/c and CVV numbers down in case of damage to the room. I just hope they destroy it to where it can't be used. Now, I gotta watch my card more closely.

Another couple came in ( we were the only people in the restaurant) and she took their order as I was on the phone with my husband. I had just come from the Billings hospital, and on our way home and thought that the Grand would be a great place to get a bite of food. The waitress intentionally went about clearing tables, washing glasses and refused to wait on us. After about 20 minutes we realized she was not interested in helping us. When we got up to leave she continued to be rude. I will never go back. People like that should not be in the "service" industry. We have been stopping g there for years. The bartender was very nice but this woman ruined our afternoon.

We were very fortunate recently to spend 3 nights at Burnt Out Lodge. It is a truly unique place…read moreto relax. Your first view of the log cabin lodge reveals an unpretentious structure that is very roomy inside with a large common room that serves as a gathering/breakfast space, seeming to be, with the loft, a nice facility for groups. The Lodge is constructed of logs that remained after a fire consumed 12,000 acres including much of the ranch. The hosts Ruth and Blick shared their story about the building of the lodge which we found fascinating. Our rooms were very spacious with cathedral ceilings with outside entrances/porches. A pond lies just outside the Lodge and a stream just steps further(our fishing skills were too limited to take advantage of those opportunities). Cattle graze all around the site as part of its ranch setting in the coulee and we saw turkeys and deer along the road. Breakfasts were simple but good with large portions and very accommodating (we needed breakfast at 7 AM and it was on the table right on time each day). The long rock/dirt lane road made us wonder whether we were in the right place but signage assured us that we were. The road also encouraged us to stay in during the evenings which was fine for us and resulted in a very tranquil stay. This was our first exposure to Montana "ranch" life and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Preparing meals together was a valuable experience during the reunion. Six individual rooms like hotel rooms -- private bath, closet and area to unpack suitcases, towels, linen, roll-away beds, clock-radios, porch-space outside. High ceilings and quaint log construction. Large common area for dining and socializing. Internet by satellite -- adequate for Email and web, but you won't be streaming video. Cell phones out of range, but you can get cell service by driving 1.5 miles up the road to the ridgetop. Hiking and some fishing on the stream nearby. Large pond for a canoe or raft. Garden flowers and green lawn. Cattle on the surrounding ranch are entertainment. Near enough to Big Timber. The only shortcoming: this area recovering from a fire a few years ago; surrounding hillsides show dead twisted trees with new trees only beginning to grow -- namesake "Burnt Out" lodge. Would certainly go back again; would certainly recommend.

Later, 6 weeks prior to our visit had to cancel and never got deposit refunded. When we called regarding the deposit we were told that deposits were non-refundable. Remember I was NEVER asked for a deposit so now they have $200 deposit that wasn't asked for in the first place. Everyone needs to be aware of this policy because I sure wasn't informed. I would recommend a wonderful place to stay in Big Timber, The Grand Hotel!

Well I just wanna say how impressed I am. It has cute little cabins. There were 2 queen beds in our…read morecabin, so not a lot of extra room. It had a medium fridg , micro, and TV. If you don't have a big group your good to go. You WILL NOT find a more friendly USA owned hotel in this area. These people are good folks and if I am giving someone 100 bucks of my hard earned then it will be them. I also love beds that are softer so if you do too than ask for room 7 I'll be comfy tonight for sure! PS don't go down the road to the BIG sky motel. It's horrible and the lady with the short brunette hair is RUDE. I'm not giving my money to anyone who rolls their eyes at me.

Not only that, they jacked up the prices during that time to take advantage of the situation.
