While the owner of this property is kind and responsive and this property had a spacious yard/ hot tub there are many negatives. This is my first review but have stayed many places in Red Lodge, so bare with me. There is a very busy and bright town pump RIGHT across from the home. We slept terrible as there are no curtains in the the guest house so the lights shown right in and people driving through the station were loud. Lots of people partying through the ally as well.
The sidewalks to the home were not shoveled or de -iced AT ALL. My husband had to do that after my 10 year old slipped and fell. Ok fine, maybe they are elderly owners. The doors were all unlocked which made me nervous.
The extra guest house doesn’t even lock with a key so you cannot secure your things when you leave. There is not a working deadbolt to lock at night either so I did not feel safe with all the people about all night and not a secure fence around the property. Parts of it are held up with posts propped on the ground.
The overall cleanliness was not good. Coffee or dirt splatters were all over the walls and under all the furniture was SO dusty and gross. We found so many peoples trash left about that I lost count.
There were several light bulbs out that we changed.
Also, and this was sort of the kicker for us, if you are looking for a cozy place to sit around and play games or watch a movie while you have some beers, look elsewhere. The couch is a joke, not even close to comfortable and maybe fits 3 people. There is an oversized matching chair that is comfy but only for one person. We spent our time uncomfortable around the dining table.
Just not even close to enough comfortable seats to relax, and when you’re on vacation that’s the goal.
