    My husband and I stayed at Bodhi Farms on a Friday night. This was our first time glamping in a…read moretipi and we enjoyed the overall experience. Here's a breakdown of some of our pros & cons. Pros: - The tipi is very spacious and the beds are comfy! - There were heating blankets on our bed which made our sleep even better. - The open air features make a huge difference during the day! - Everyone who works here is incredibly welcoming. - Complimentary sauna time in the morning is a must! - Breakfast was delivered to our tent eight when we were waking up. - Morning yoga classes are open for guests as well (we couldn't make it). - Bodhi Farms is perfectly positioned outside of the city. You still get the rural, serene feeling of camping while being close enough to other amenities if needed. Cons: - It gets HOT inside the tipi during the day. There are fans and you can open the top of your tipi for ventilation but be warned... - So many mosquitos, and not just outside. I hate bugs but mostly ones that will bite me. We had to make a trip to Target for mosquito bands to use inside our tipi. - The walk from the camping area to the bathrooms/shower is very inconvenient at night, make sure you carry your lanterns. - Lots of animal noises at night that can be distracting if you're a light sleeper. - We were right next to our neighbors so we could hear them and they could hear us. Minimal privacy in that way. We definitely enjoyed ourselves overall. My husband has already asked if we should come back for more than one night.

Everything from the ceremony to the dancing was easy and our company loved the indoor/outdoor set up. They recently built a new outside patio that could be used for seating or the dance floor (which we did). It is a covered patio that adds a whole new space to the area which was great for the flow of our party. Our guests still rave about how beautiful and well taken care of the event space was and how much fun they had. Also, Whitney was amazing to work with and very helpful in our whole process!

It is beautiful and rustic, but has the amenities you need for a successful event. Whitney and her husband who own the venue are super accommodating. I was planning the event from a different state and really needed trustworthy point people to contact and rely on their descriptions to pull the event off from afar. Whitney provided, photos, catering suggestions, decor ideas and was a great communicator. The day of the event, she and her husband were there to ensure set up and clean up were a breeze. They bent over backwards to ensure it was a success! Whitney did everything to help she could, including providing batteries for me that I forgot! I could not have asked for a better overall event and I am so thankful I found The Chateau! I highly recommend!

    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.

Large…read morekitchen, well-equipped, commercial-size gas range and oven, walk-in fridge and separate walk-in freezer, plenty of counter space. 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.

    We selected this venue sight unseen because we loved the location and unique setting. As an…read moreout-of-state couple planning a destination micro-wedding, we understood the importance of communication and organization and worked hard to meet every requirement throughout the planning process. From the beginning, we communicated that our wedding would be held on a Saturday afternoon from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. We met every deadline, completed every checklist, and provided all requested vendor contracts through the venue's shared Google Drive. Our original plans included catering, a bartender, and wedding cake. Approximately one month before the wedding, after receiving permission, we added a photo booth vendor. During our site visit, we clearly discussed our timeline, guest count, and event needs. We were told that being slightly over the stated guest count limit of 40 would not be an issue. Unfortunately, it later became apparent that important details from that meeting may not have been documented. One of our biggest concerns arose when we submitted our final timeline and were then informed that the museum would remain open to the public during portions of our wedding. This was unexpected and created significant stress during the final stages of planning. As the wedding approached, communication became increasingly difficult. Questions that had already been answered often had to be revisited, and it frequently felt as though information provided in writing was not being reviewed. Because we lived six hours away in another state, we even had our photographer assist with communications in an effort to keep planning on track. There were also several operational issues during setup and on the wedding day. We received conflicting information regarding beverage delivery and storage, our bartender was not informed where beverages had been placed, guests received little guidance regarding parking, and the PA system was not functioning when the ceremony was scheduled to begin. We also encountered challenges coordinating placement of the photo booth and cake delivery, resulting in last-minute adjustments that could have been avoided with clearer communication. The venue itself is beautiful and provided a wonderful backdrop for our wedding. However, the planning and coordination experience was significantly more stressful than it needed to be. Future couples, especially those planning destination weddings, would benefit from clear written documentation of all conversations, detailed confirmation of event logistics, and early clarification regarding public access, setup requirements, and day-of venue support. While our wedding day was ultimately beautiful thanks to our vendors, family, and friends, the venue coordination process was the most challenging part of our wedding planning experience. What was most disappointing was our attempt to address these concerns after the wedding. On the Monday following the event, we contacted the Executive Director hoping to provide feedback and better understand what had happened. Instead of discussing the communication and customer service concerns we experienced, much of the conversation focused on the venue's staffing costs and the amount of staff time allegedly spent supporting our event. During that conversation, we were repeatedly told that "it is human nature to take advantage" and that we had received "a screaming deal." The Executive Director also stated that the package we booked had since been discontinued and suggested the venue may move to a time-and-materials pricing model in the future. The implication seemed to be that our event had required significantly more effort than anticipated. However, when we asked what specific staff time had been spent on our wedding or requested documentation supporting those claims, no data or records were provided. Throughout the planning process and our post-event discussion, there appeared to be a recurring pattern of responsibility being shifted elsewhere when issues arose. Questions that had already been answered resurfaced, information we had submitted appeared not to have been reviewed, and operational challenges were often attributed to vendors, staffing, or circumstances rather than acknowledged as communication or coordination breakdowns. As customers, we were not seeking compensation or special treatment. We simply hoped for acknowledgment of the challenges we experienced and a constructive conversation about how similar issues could be avoided for future couples. Unfortunately, we left the conversation feeling that our concerns were minimized rather than genuinely heard and addressed. A beautiful venue should be matched by strong communication, accountability, and customer service. While our wedding day was ultimately successful thanks to our other exceptional vendors, family, and friends, the venue coordination and nontransparent experience was by far the most difficult part of our wedding planning journey.
