Everything about our experience was great. Chum was so nice and helpful and spent an hour and a half showing us around the property so that we could figure out if it was the right spot for us. I would say the only hard thing about this venue is the bathroom situation but it's easily overlooked with how stunning the property is. I absolutely love this venue for the perfect montana wedding.

Our experience here was so entirely terrible that my review can not fit in this space, no matter…read morehow much I try to decrease the word count. Nothing about our contract was honored, they completely took advantage of us and really, the entire mess led to the downfall of the entire wedding. Everything fell apart. All because of the owners of this venue. Even though we visited the venue twice and thought we knew Chum and Sally, it blew up in our faces. Please, please please. If you're thinking of using Springhill, message me for our story at ariellelee16@gmail.com and I'll be happy to fill you in. Please, learn from our experience--these people took advantage of us and even mentioned that the contract was a "milk and candle" (milk the customers, torch the contract) to several of our guests. Chum was creepily controlling and kept calling our B and B asking "where the bride was". They watched us say our vows from their windows and doors. Set up was actually where everything fell apart. It was so heartbreakingly bad we can't even look at our wedding photos. Plus, I'm sure many think that Chum especially seems so "Montanan" with his fun little stories (and the fact he owns a ranch and calls himself Chum)? Well, we found out that Chum comes directly from massive family money from out east--his family is Bank of Boston. And Sally? Not authentic either. Her family owns a fortune from catalogues. These two are wildly rich phonies taking massive sums of money just to let people walk on their grass. They do no clean up and provide nothing. Your money directly goes into their already fully lined pockets. Bottom line: our contract may as well not have existed. They broke everything about the contract and we were helpless to do a thing about it. All we are left with is a ruined wedding and complete heartbreak. My husband had a nervous breakdown after dealing with these people. Our one special day never happened. It was the worst day of our lives. And it's all because of the venue owners. One thing that was very disconcerting was that they seemed not to even remember they showed us around once before--if you do use this venue, get everything EVERYTHING written down in emails or recorded on your phone. I was half afraid Chum was getting dementia for all the things he promised and then recanted on. Sally too. This goes as deeply as the very day we chose for our wedding--they recommended a certain day and I booked it and later they claimed not to remember doing so and that it never happened. Again, contact me for the full story please. Learn from our experience. ariellelee16@gmail.com

The guests loved the scenery, Cindy is absolutely incredible from start to finish, and GRH made our day special.

It is a covered patio that adds a whole new space to the area which was great for the flow of our party.

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!

We wish we could give this place 6-stars! We rented the barn for our daughter's wedding and stayed…read moreat the adjacent lodge for several days leading up to the big day. The barn is charmingly old but very clean and well-maintained. The grounds are peaceful, gorgeous and impeccably manicured. Dan & Nancy are warm and welcoming people and will see that you are comfortable and well-cared for. This is not an all-inclusive venue, but they have a number of excellent local caterers, florists, etc. that they can put you in touch with. Danica, their daughter, was our event coordinator and made sure everything ran smoothly to make for a perfect day. The backdrop for the wedding, which was outdoors, was the Bridger Mountain range and made for a nice setting and outstanding pictures & video. Now for the lodge. Wow, our jaws dropped when we first saw it. A large and beautiful log home that we stayed at, just steps from the wedding barn. Several family members stayed with us and we all had plenty of space and privacy. A fully-equipped kitchen, basement billiard table, and TLC decorating touches all make for a cozy place to spend time. You could rent the lodge separately if you wanted to stay there and enjoy outdoor recreation or winter sports. You will NOT be disappointed.

When I was researching for our trip, I noticed they offer a private soak option, so I went ahead and booked this experience for us. 2 hour session on a Wednesday for $175. Not bad when you get the entire place to yourself. They have changing rooms and the bathrooms are porta potties. It was super clean. The hot springs were super hot and the water they spray in one section of the pool allows you an opportunity to cool off. They also had umbrellas set up around the perimeter to block the sun. I'm glad it was slightly cooler today from a rain storm as it ended up being the perfect day! We also ordered some food while we were here. I got the smoked trout which came with a delicious salad, all made fresh from their onsite garden. My kids got the pickle pizza, which they let me try and that was devoured! Demi took excellent care of us! I'd definitely come back here! They also offer live music in the evenings. There was music playing while we were here and it was a nice addition. They also offer onsite camping too. Highly recommend Norris Hot Springs!

We used to absolutely love Norris Hot Springs. We've been coming here for years and it was always…read moreour go-to hot spring when we lived in Bozeman and West Yellowstone. We've made many day trips and stayed multiple times in the campground with our RV. After moving away for a few years, we recently returned to Bozeman and have visited Norris several times. We were excited to bring our new NoBo 18.0 camper for its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, this stay was nothing like the Norris Hot Springs we remembered. The community bathrooms were shockingly dirty and unsanitary. The showers looked and smelled as though they hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in a very long time. Both toilets had dark rings in the bowls, and the entire bathroom area had an overwhelming mold and mildew smell. The showers also had a buildup of something slimy. I understand that older facilities have limitations, but basic cleanliness should not be one of them. The WiFi also wasn't working at our campsite. We notified staff and asked if the router could be reset, but it never worked during our stay. We eventually found WiFi by sitting outside near the community bathroom, which unfortunately was not a pleasant place to spend time. The biggest disappointment came Monday morning. For all the years we've camped at Norris, use of the hot springs had been included with our campsite. We headed over for a quick 10-15 minute soak before I had to leave for work and were told by Noah that campers must now pay an additional $3 per person, per day to use the pool. The $3 fee itself was not the issue. The issue was the lack of communication. Our reservation confirmation clearly stated: "CAMPERS HAVE ACCESS TO THE POOL & CAFE DURING PUBLIC HOURS THURSDAY-MONDAY 10AM-10PM." There was no mention in our confirmation that campers would now be charged an additional daily, per-person pool fee. Attached is a copy of the confirmation email I received. We were told the new policy was on the website. After looking, I could not find it on the Home, Soak, or Reservations pages. I eventually found the information buried at the bottom of the campground page. For returning guests who have always understood pool access to be included with camping, it would be very easy to make a reservation without realizing this had changed. We even offered to pay the $6 immediately after our quick soak, since my husband was staying behind to pack up the camper, but were told there were "no exceptions" and payment had to be made before entering the pool. With the time crunch and the overall unfriendly experience, we decided to leave. I also mentioned the condition of the bathrooms to Noah and expressed that they needed a serious deep cleaning. Unfortunately, I felt the concern was dismissed rather than acknowledged. Businesses can certainly change policies, but significant changes like this should be clearly communicated during the reservation process and, ideally, included in the confirmation email--especially for longtime returning guests. We left without our morning soak and, more importantly, with a very different impression of a place we have enjoyed for many years. Between the dirty bathrooms, unavailable campsite WiFi, and poorly communicated change to pool access, this was a very disappointing stay. Sadly, after years of Norris Hot Springs being one of our favorite places, it will likely be quite a while before we return.

Doug even went above and beyond by taking my 90 year old grandmother into the house while she waited for the ceremony so she didn't get too hot and then drove her down to the ceremony area.

The cabins that the bridal party get ready in are so cute and worked out great for us. The ponds and fountains were so pretty and perfect for pictures. I highly recommend the Ponds at Dry Creek in Belgrade!
