Mission Valley Escape

PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD
It has been a beautiful and wonderful experience sharing our Mission Valley Escape with all of our wonderful past guests. Certainly, our pleasure to have been your host in Montana! However, we have sold the property (fall 2019) and wish to thank everyone for choosing to share our little corner of paradise!

Here is our farewell photo ...

We think she's a beauty!

If you’re going to Glacier, you’ve got to explore the park by boat. You’ll have several options, but the Lake McDonald boat tour is the most popular pick. Scenic hour long boat cruises are $17.25 for adults (and free for children 4 and under!). Learn more here: http://glacierparkboats.com/tour/lake-mcdonald/

Review! Review! ... a guest did do!
He left a note and told us too ...
Of what he did and where he stayed
The place was "perfect" he did say
And golf he did ... and saw the sites
And then he took some perfect hikes
We hope that when you stay here too
That you will find as much to do!


August 2018 ~ Our Guest "David" wrote this review on airbnb.com:
"Ronan is a great location right in the middle of all the things we wanted to see. Everyone we met was very polite and helpful. It has a bunch of small family owned restaurants and stores. Polson is 20 minutes away and has a Walmart for other supplies. We spent the first day hiking in Glacier Park. We heard great things about the Avalanche Lake trail and the views were amazing. We played golf at Polson Bay and the course was beautiful with great views of Flathead lake and the mountains. It was recommended by some of the people we met and it did not disappoint. They also rented clubs which were nice and reasonably priced. Missoula is a really cool town and had a lot of shops and restaurants. We picked up some gear at The Trail Head store and they were very helpful in recommending the best areas to hike. We also hiked in Rattlesnake Park which was difficult but we were looking for a challenge and it did not disappoint. We spent a day just driving around Flathead Lake stopping at the local towns and taking in the scenery. We stumbled upon car shows and a few other outdoor events which was great. Overall the trip was amazing and the place was perfect. It was very clean and well maintained. It overlooks a golf course and the mountains. Communication with the owner was great and she is very responsive. Overall an awesome trip and looking forward to going back."

We just received this guest review ... (June 2018)

"This place is amazing, very nicely furnished with everything you would need. The view of the Mission Mountains is spectacular and the golf course provides a green expanse behind the home. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. The owner is responsive and will answer promptly if you need anything. We will stay again if this place is available."

Charlo, MT is just a skip down the road from Ronan, MT. Easy for you to stop in and learn about a Bitterroot Salish Chief named Chief Joseph Ninepipes. This museum has a wealth of early photos, artifacts and antiques representing more than a century of life on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. The Museum is one of western Montana’s finest treasures.

Here is the website for Ninepipes ...
