B&B location was serene and beautifully situated on the river. We stayed one night as a pit stop between Glacier NP and Calgary which was very convenient. Room was clean and very comfortable. Jaxy was a great host.

Jaxy and Todd were great hosts at this beautiful property. Their attention to detail in the main lodge furnishings created an inviting atmosphere. It was nice to go for a walk and discover all the different sitting and lounging areas. We definitely recommend this property for a quiet, relaxing retreat.
