This was my second time staying at The Lazy 8. Like my first stay, everything was fantastic. Got the opportunity to meet and spend time visiting with Craig during our stay, and enjoyed that time very much. Everything with this property is as advertised and very clean. We hope to visit this property again nezt year. Thanks Craig!

What A Great Place

My wife and I have stayed at many VRBO's. This is the best if you like the Montana atmosphere with great views. Very clean, all amenities are excellent, good friendly dogs with owners, and owners are very personable. The history of the town is very interesting and has a world class brewery. Not many restaurants in the area, but had a better time cooking on the great smoker/grill at the unit and sitting on the porch enjoying the scenery and atmosphere. We highly recommend a stay.
