Our family ranch consists of 1,100 acres, surrounded by thousands of acres of forest service and wilderness of Yellowstone Park.  We have hiking, horseback rides, fishing, snowmobiling, hot tubing, or just plain relaxing in a hammock amongst the Aspens and wildflowers.

The log cabin is a true log cabin built out of old logs from 1800's from an old ranching family dwelling here in the valley.  We have waterfalls, streams, and a pond in the front yard of the cabin with beautiful views of meadows and mountains.  We are in a very quiet, end of the road area, with lots of privacy, that is 7 miles up into the mountains.

· Helen O'Sullivan, So. Boston, MA
My childhood dream- to come to a ranch in the West. It's just so beautiful! Thanks Tami!

·- The Burns, Black Forest, CO. (transplant from Brooklyn, NY)
Just Wonderful! So warm and peaceful and inviting. Can't wait to return. You've done a great job Tami! Thank You.

 -The Fennegans, Las Vegas, NV
What a wonderful place! This was the best 2 days of our 2 week vacation. You cabin is so warm and cozy. The vast beauty was breath-taking. The little stream coming out from the patio rocks gives off the perfect sound effects to calm and soothe the spirit. The "safari ride" into the buffalo herd and feeding the orphans was so cool! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ranch experience with us. This is definitely heaven on earth for this city girl! Thanks Tami, I will be back!

 - The Miseners, Las Vegas, NV
What can I say that Karen hasn't already said! Your cabin has calmed my soul. You have a gift here, and your generosity has made it possible to share it with us not so lucky. You can bet I will be back.

·- The Hannas, New Tripoli, PA
Thank you for welcoming us into your "piece of heaven". It is truly beautiful here and have enjoyed getting to know you and your family. This has been very relaxing and just what I needed. Absolutely everything has been perfect and beautiful. Thank you for being so welcoming.

· - McGreevys -Austin, TX
Tami took us to the Roosevelt Lodge Cookout (the famous cookout that books up far in advance) and got us in when they were all booked. Evidently, the McDonalds have been in the area for over a hundred years and Tami was able to pull some strings. The cabin was gorgeous - she is a gifted decorator. We had a fantastic time!

 - The Mullins, Chicago, IL
We couldn't believe what a great deal it was – we have traveled everywhere, and we truly felt like we should have paid per night what we paid for the whole week. We felt so guilty, and we gave her extra money, but she said “No!” and gave it back! Tami is a wonderful person!

·- The Terrells - Tulsa, OK
We had so much fun hiking and exploring all over her huge ranch with the two great yellow Labs (she gave us bells and everything). We had fun throwing sticks for the dogs, who kept the ranch animals far away from us. And caused the Buffalo to stampede. That was incredible. Our son was fascinated by the cool bones he found on our hikes. Tami let us keep a few, and he proudly shows everyone who comes over.

·- The Dworaks, Dallas, TX
Tami taught our son AND daughter how to shoot a 22 Rifle! She is so cool, and the kids adored her. It was such a great story to tell the kids at school. Also, Tami took us in an ATV up 2 different mountains to amazing views, climbing easily over fallen trees, through rivers, and over boulders - We LOVED it!
We travel everywhere with our kids, but they say Montana and Yellowstone was their favorite! Better than Disney, Hawaii, or any Ski Trip! I can't recommend it enough! Tami really made us feel like we were her new friends and could not have been more hospitable or wonderful.

 - The Garneauxs - Louisiana
The McDonald’s 3 year old daughter can ride a horse better than anyone I know! It gave my kids the confidence they needed because they were very nervous about horseback riding…but they felt if she can do it, so can they! They took our family on a great guided horseback riding tour.

· - The Broadways - Houston, TX
Tami has been a flight attendant for 20+ years and traveled the world...she is so nice, so fun, and has incredible stories. We loved her! And her daughters were adorable. We felt like we were visiting family. The winter is fun because you can go sledding and ride her snowmobiles.

 - The McAnallys - Carrollton, TX
It was a perfect home base for all our Yellowstone exploring. But the kids had the best time just hanging out on the ranch. There were so many fun things to do. We went White Water Rafting right by her area...that was fun. I still can’t believe we got to feed baby buffalo with bottles!

· - The Parkers - Pensacola, FL
Our kids were dying to do chores and “work” on a real ranch. She was so nice and let the kids do everything. She showed them how everything worked, what to do, and explained why they do things certain ways.
We also went fishing with Tami. We dug the worms ourselves and rode the horses to the river. Afterwards, we went up a horseback riding trail. What a unique experience!

· - The Griffiths - Albany, NY
We saved so much money by renting a cabin instead of a hotel room. The Log cabin had a full kitchen so we only spent $45 (for the week!) on the fresh food I couldn't pack. She has most things stocked in the kitchen. I cooked breakfast, lunch, & dinner most days to save. We asked Tami to unplug the phone and TV, and it was so nice to have all that time to talk to the kids. Our son read 8 chapter books!

 - The Coxs - Jacksonville, FL
The kids loved feeding the ducks and chickens, baby buffalo and horses. They also loved playing with playing with the cats, dogs, & bunnies. Wonderfully relaxing and beautiful scenery. This place is truly paradise!

 - The Smiths - Grand Rapids, MI
One of our favorite experiences was going out late at night and seeing more stars that you could possibly imagine. It was truly amazing. There are no major cities or lights so you can see all the stars, planets, and even satellites, and it is "The Shooting Star Capital"...in fact, her address is "Shooting Star Trail!"

It is amazing how many people come this way year after year. We still enjoy going to Yellowstone Park ourselves. We have lived here our whole lives, and it is still a special place. I have traveled the world as a flight attendant, and this is where I choose to call home - There is no place else like it.
