Rich and Trudy seemed to be the goodwill ambassadors for the entire Cascade area (as well as the local wildlife). Their B&B is isolated enough that we felt far and away, yet it was well-equipped (Trudy's dinners were well worth what she charged), and they both take pride in excellence not just in the upkeep of their facilities but the overall experience of their guests. We couldn't be happier with our all-too-brief time in Montana with the Hayes'. Of note is that this spot would be perfect for those in the fishing crowd, though there are a few nice walks back into the mountains or even along the non-operational train tracks down below running along the river and through a rock face. They even have horses which are not ready to ride yet, though it wouldn't hurt to ask about in the next season. Oh, and there are deer everywhere, lots of them, all calm as peace itself. Rich and Trudy were hilarious, informative, and welcoming when we were around them, but made it easy to be alone and gave us plenty of space without us hardly having to think the thought. They also had some great suggestions on hikes, activities, as well as driving routes and Montana attractions. This leg of our trip was definitely one of the high points of our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Rich and Trudy and hope to be back very, very soon. Rich, Trudy: thank you so much! We used our boot mugs as soon as we got back to San Francisco.

We drove through Montana on our honeymoon road trip and were lucky enough to end up at The Ranch at…read moreDeerborn for 2 nights. I have to say, this was the most memorable part of our trip...Rich and Trudy are amazing people! Not only did I have a blast hanging out with them, they are such gracious hosts as well. I felt so spoiled because they always made sure our bellies were filled with delicious food and that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their place is SPOTLESS - a huge relief after a couple of nights spent at icky motels. Trudy and Rich hold very high standards and it shows. Also, their rates are really low and include a delicious home cooked breakfast every morning. The Ranch at Deerborn is surrounded by beautiful mountains, a river and old train tracks. Animals abound! Deer, horses, chickens, cats, a dog and even a very polite skunk named "Spot" kept us company during our stay. We don't fish but if you do, then you really need to stay here. It's right in the middle of it! We will definitely be back...hopefully sooner than later!

Upon walking in the door, Bobby offered a friendly greeting and fantastic tips for local entertainment. We settled in to the Traveler's Suite and then had a great time on the town based on his recommendations. Our room had been ready when we arrived at 2:30pm, even though check-in isn't until 4-6pm. An 11am check-out is appreciated, as other places can be earlier. The entire home is well decorated. The owners had to start from scratch when they bought it in '08 because the previous owners sold everything in the house and left it empty. They've done an amazing job at recreating a historical and luxurious atmosphere. The photos don't do it justice. A comfortable bed with super soft sheets, a flat screen TV, wireless internet, air conditioning and home-made cookies at your disposal are total bonuses. I would stay here even if these amenities and treats weren't available. They were kind enough to put a shower in the claw foot tub in our bathroom, as the general population is a little too spoiled and in a rush to think of just bathing these days. Noise from other guests was not an issue. We were served blueberry pancakes, bacon and fruit for breakfast, which were delicious. I'm always in fear of being served bad coffee, but they get a thumbs up for this too. Our cook for the day, who was filling in, did a great job and was very friendly as well. The exterior and property may need some maintenance, but I think they are slowly working on this. From what I could tell, the interior is impeccable. My spouse and I wanted to stay two nights but the Mansion was booked solid. It would be a riot to return with a group of friends. I'd recommend this place to anyone. It's worth every penny and you certainly don't meet cool people at a breakfast table when staying in a hotel.

We stayed in Beth's room which was 2.5 flights up and it was very comfortable. Bobbi immediately brought us a stainless steel container of ice water for the room which is such a thoughtful touch after we had been driving all day. Our hosts delivered to the room in a carafe outside the door, what a nice touch as well! We had a great time sitting on the porch watching people go by walking their dogs and enjoying the breeze. It is a beautiful tree lined neighborhood. Breakfast was hot and delicious and catered to gluten free, something I always appreciate. We will look forward to staying here again!

I called the Inn to let them know and they were more than understanding, saying that their restaurant would still be open by the time of our arrival and that they would have a glass of wine waiting for us upon our arrival. We did not arrive until 10:00 PM and received a warm greeting and as promised, the bartender was ready to pour us a glass of wine. We were able to sip it on the lovely outdoor eating area and fall asleep on the most comfortable bedding. Seriously, the beds here are magic. Rooms are very small and do not have A/C. Simply opening the window will suffice to bring in some cool air. Each wing has a communal bathroom. Bathrooms have all amenities needed moreover; each room has a cute bag of travel toiletries per bed. The building itself is both charming and formidable. While I see its potential, it is lacking in some upkeep and restoration. This the only downside. Something to note, there is a train that passes quite frequently and can be heard during all hours. This did not phase me in the slightest because of the wine. My favorite part by far was breathing in the fresh air and exploring the grounds in the early morning. The sky was beautiful and I managed to get in some pretty special photographs. It seriously put a smile on my face to see pigs roaming around and chickens out being chickens... With that being said, I would definitely stay here again should I find myself in the area.
