The location of the property was perfect for our trip. We were close enough to our events for Longmire Days but the scenery, quiet and wildlife was perfect. We enjoyed having separate spaces for our group.

Great House on Lake DeSmet

Three couples stayed at the house which is very clean, large and well appointed. We had plenty of room. We enjoyed the views of the lake and the huge sky with some beautiful evening storms. We had a great time and rate this property with a score of 10 out of 10!

Hunting trip

All 8 of us enjoyed our stay. We really liked that we all got to stay together. The house was fully equipped and exactly what we were looking for. It was conveniently located closed to all places we needed it to be. Matt was very responsive to any and all questions and was a great host. I would highly recommend this property and Matt as a host.

Couldn’t ask for more!

Host was easy to communicate with. If anything, the house was under played. Very nice, super clean, roomy, and they made sure you had everything you needed besides bringing food. We had 2 adult couples and 5 kids, there was plenty of room. Couldn’t recommend this place more. Matthew is super responsive which is a big deal for me. Thanks again!

Perfect house for three families

Great house for our three families of family and friends. Plenty of room for all to spread out. It was a base for hiking in the mountains, shopping in Sheridan or fishing/swimming in Lake Desmet. Beautiful views of mountains and lake. Relaxing sitting on the deck taking in sunrise and sunset. Only negative one couple thought the basement bed needed updated and could use more drink ware.

Good Space

Nice space with room for the family. Amenities were pretty nice like laundry and dishwasher detergent. Plenty of towels. Some of us found the beds uncomfortable, some were fine with them. The water seems very hard, ice maker wasn’t on but nearby lodge had ice for drinks. We couldn’t find baking sheets. There wasn’t much glassware for mix drinks. We appreciated the 2 refrigerators. There was also an extra LP tank in the garage which we needed! Thank you!!!
