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.

And, what a pleasant surprise that was! I was greeted by the General Manager, Suzanne, who was so very helpful and accommodating, even though she was swamped with so many locals just looking to shower and get warm. That included a wedding party that was booked somewhere else, that unfortunately had also lost power. Twenty-six needed rooms and Suzanne and her crew made the wedding party VERY happy! I can't say enough about every staff member, but special thanks to Shelia and Cindy for the yummy breakfast buffet! Make sure you leave a big tip, because the breakfast is free .

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.

Perfect vacation for all ages just relax have fun even a three-year-old has full range of the ranch!read more

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.

The winter is often very cloudy and grey so lake views aren't always the best but the indoor jetted tubs are totally worth it. Outside, they have an infinity pool, two hot tubs, a fire pit, and a small putting green. My stay there has always been relaxing, peaceful, and it's delightful to bask in the beauty. Their newly redesigned lodge and game room area is great for families and friends alike. Be sure to stop by Riley's pub for friendly service and tasty bar snacks and meals.

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.
