Lover's Leap Lodging, a real Montana experience

Lover's Leap Lodging is 1.2 miles from public access on the Beaverhead River below the promontory that marks the point of "Clark's Lookout" along the Lewis and Clark Trail. This 4 bedroom home is available year around for short and longer stays. The owners, Sandy and Jeannie, are experienced hosts . They are both from Montana pioneering families and can answer most any question about the history and events in the area. Children are welcome and will love their room with bunk beds.

Sandy is in the process of retiring from the ranch on Horse Prairie where he has lived all of his life. He is a musician/songwriter and he and Jeannie are founders and directors of the Dillon Junior Fiddlers. Jeannie is a multimedia artist, working mostly in paint and stained glass. Original art decorates the walls of the house.

The whole house is available for guests.

Lover's Leap Lodging is located about 5 minutes from downtown Dillon, yet has all the charm of rural living. The property is nine acres, and the view is spacious. There are several out buildings where Sandy is currently housing his collectables. Old car buffs will love his old cars.

Not what we expected
I do want to mention the Host has refunded us because we had to get a hotel due to the condition of the property - ie. We found a mouse in the toilet and appeared nobody had checked on the property prior to our arrival. The refund was much appreciated. Communication prior to arrival with host was poor. Questions were not answered. I called VRBO customer service and they were not able to get a response from them either.

ok...
I don't want to jump on here and just say the bad... so bear with me. I did not receive an email with info to obtain access to the property. Tried to call/text host with no answer. Had to call VRBO directly and finally was able to touch base and get the code to enter property, etc. Not the worst thing, don't get me wrong. Second, no air conditioning. Granted, the listing does not mention whether it has A/C or not, so I should not have assumed, but unfortunately, in the middle of summer and days that are the hottest days of the year, not having air conditioning was frustrating. I'm sure staying there in the fall, spring or winter when the temps are not as extreme it works just fine, but when the temps are in the 90's mid-summer, no thanks. Otherwise, the house was clean inside and certainly worth staying at (if A/C was not an issue). The property (outside the house) was less than ideal but we were not there for that. Inside the house, clean, rooms were what we expected, had everything. There were fans to accomodate for the lack of A/C but...

Roomy Home
We are full time RVers and like to stay out of the RV every now and then. This house was a great place to give us all the space we need. Our Cavaliers loved the room to roam. The huge jetted bath tub was amazing!

Sketchy neighborhood.
The house is very clean inside, the house is extremely outdated. The neighborhood is extremely sketchy, so much so that I was scared to open the windows for air. The land is not manicured whatsoever. It was close to town so was easy to get to from the rodeo and again very clean and easy instructions.

Very nice
It was a nice place with lots of room. We wanted to make food so having the kitchen was nice. We kept the doors shut in the rooms we didn’t use to help keep the house warmer. Easy to get to.

Great temporary home
We utilized this property as a second home when we were displaced by a home fire. It was so nice to have a place to go to that was home-like, that welcomed our dogs as well as us. Great couple, takes great care of guests! Can't go wrong here!

Great home!
This is the first part of our two-part stay and we were thrilled to get into the VRBO! In fact, Jean and Sandy let us in one night early due to our need. They were not only kind, they were very attentive to the house and driveway snow and ice. GREAT place to stay!

In town for a funeral - awesome owner
This property was perfect for our family to gather before and after a family funeral. The property is interesting and has room to roam around and look at interesting relics from the past. The drive to the property proved to be equally interesting. Jeanie was so understanding and accomodating.
