Our stay at Creekside Tranquility was incredible. It’s a beautiful house located on gorgeous property. The owner, Casey, takes great care of his lovely home to make sure his guests have a comfortable stay. The house is fully stocked too so you’ll have everything you need. We loved how peaceful this place was during our vacation and we plan to book here again in the future. I highly recommend you book this home for your next trip to Florence, MT. Thanks again, Casey for providing me and my family a wonderful, cozy atmosphere. It’s a true home away from home experience.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you found the amenities satisfactory. For clarity to future guests, our House Rules clearly state that the property is not suitable for children and that running or jumping inside the home is not permitted. During this stay, children were brought into the home on multiple occasions despite these rules. The property is designed and insured as an adult-only space. These guidelines are in place to protect the home, ensure safety, and maintain a consistent experience for all guests. We communicate expectations clearly prior to arrival and are always available to answer questions in advance. We encourage all future guests to carefully review the House Rules before booking to ensure the property is a good fit for their needs.

We enjoyed our stay at Casey's home! The property was beautiful and home was spotless. We felt very welcome and loved dining on the back porch. Communication was great and Casey went above and beyond by providing us with a tube of gorilla glue to fix our daughter's sandle. Great location as well.
