The property is managed by Deb, the very nice and helpful housekeeper always there when you need to ask a question or need a ride to the airport. She can help with anything you need, and that was awesome! There are TVs and cable, nice bathrooms, and a massive (MASSIVE) kitchen. You really won't be disappointed in your stay, and you'll really miss out if you stay anywhere else!

I have driven by this mansion many times and never thought about it. When a friend needed someplace…read moreto stay I gave them a call. This was a last minute situation and she had an opening. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous and the rooms are large and well appointed for a B&B. The kitchen has separate dry goods and refrigerator storage for everyone if you are staying for a while. The whole house is warm and inviting. We were welcomed and treated like we were guests at someone's home. I was so impressed.

Our welcome with Lori the next morning was bar none the best ever! She greeted us with a plate of lemon bars! Keep in mind it's off season and we were the only visitor passing through. I can't imagine this is a regular thing she does but worth mentioning to show you her kindness and generosity. They were the real deal, with shortbread & super lemony filling! Also she asked for less money because we chose the smaller site. Wow when has this ever happened in our many travels? Never! A storm was coming through the next day so we decided to wait it out with two more nights and 2 days at Boulder Hot Springs 1.5 miles away. Loris fb page gave us a great idea of what we could find in town. We visited Hanks aka Boulder Hardware to get propane. (Thanks Chloe for your help!) By 3rd night we learned about the infamous steaks at Windsor Bar and treated ourselves. What a fun place and it appeared to be woman owned and run. On our last morning we were visited by two tall birds. Lori had corrected us and said the heron aren't here yet, there are three pair of "Sandhill Cranes," what a glorious sight! We look forward to returning to such remarkable and sincere hospitality. Many thanks Lori, we are very grateful to be able to spend three nights here. Did I mention how affordable? $35/night for full hook ups, yikes!

I wasn't even a registered camper yet, but he didnt even hesitate to help me find it. Later the next morning, I learned that a Facebook post was made to help me locate it by the people that run the park. All this and I haven't even mentioned my stay. Great campground, clean bathrooms and showers. I haven't located the bag, but the human spirit endures here at this RV Park and the towns around it. Highly recommend this for all.

It's just a short drive off of I-90, (less than 2 minutes) There are individual stalls, with warm running water for hand washing & vending machines. What's missing? Some way to indicate which stalls are occupied. As it was, they all were, which meant testing every door, then circling awkwardly without rhyme or reason til you could pounce on an opening door, without a way to line up and wait. My only issue to note.

Lots of truck parking and decent amount of parking for cars - 15ish at the building and another 7 or 8 at the trailhead. Big sky, wide open, plenty of picnic tables and dog exercise areas. I did come back for this one on a subsequent road trip, that's how good it is!

The walls are painted cinder block and the rest is it is quite dated. My biggest complaint though is the walls are super thin. Our neighbor was watching TV loudly and despite calls from the front desk, it wasn't clear if it was our neighbor to the left, right or below. Then in the morning, we could hear musicians at the upcoming Irish festival practicing through the bathroom ceiling. That part was actually cooler than the TV noise but still evidence of the lack of insulation.

The guide was very (overly?) enthusiastic with some exaggerated "facts" (didn't seem quite right to me, so I researched a few things afterwards). Indeed Butte was a very important, crowded and rough place in the early part of the 20th century and the stories you will hear on this tour give a good flavor of that time, just know that it's more like watching a movie "based on a true story", than a documentary.

Gold, silver, and finally copper brought Butte's population to nearly 100,000 in 1917, with more than 150 underground mines running 24 hours a day. Today there are numerous reminders of the opulence, decadence, and wild lifestyles of poor European immigrants, miners, businessmen and of course the wealthy "Copper Kings." Old Butte Historical Adventures guides you through this rough-and-ready history in the nation's largest National Historic Landmark District, with 6,015 contributing resources.

My 5 star review is slashed thanks to the archaic policy of deposit (whooping $250 for a $100…read moreroom). Deposits have disappeared in quality hotels and were used to either boost their ledger and/or the hotel is a history of unruly guests - either way it holds the guests money from use for days! Since the clerk does not check the room upon checkout and releases the deposit without checking, deposits are meaningless. Deposit policies should be easy to spot on reservation webpages and BEFORE you arrive at the hotel. I typically leave hotels with these deposits as seems unsafe. Not to mention I have to verify return of deposit after I leave the hotel. Extra work for a nights stay. So the 5 star I was leaving plummeted thanks to a unnecessary and unwarranted deposit - especially with such a large number Improve? Take away the deposit

Their pool area is nice but constantly filled with little munchkins. Their gym is trash. Only 2 treadmills, 2 bikes, and one weight machine. Our rooms air conditioning didn't work. Obviously maintenance things come up but it appears they knew about it and still tried to stick us in that room and then it was an hour wait for them to come look at it and move my rooms. If you are just staying one night, this place is clean and nice for a quick stay minus the gym and room situation.
