Met our needs
Off beaten path which was perfect for first night traveling Montana smallish towns. Mostly just spent the overnight there - beds and shower were good. Only drawback was couldn’t figure out how to lock door. Could’ve called Lee but weren’t that worried about it.

Glacier trip
Nice little bonus room above the garage. No air conditioning and the room was really hot at checkin. Would recommend a box fan to pull cool air from outside. Is an 45 minute drive from Glacier park. There was no way for me to secure the room from the outside since we were not issued a key so that was odd.but the room was great and had a beautiful view

Pleasant experience
Spacious area above 3-bay garage that includes beds, kitchen, and sitting area, and a separate bathroom. The owner was pleasant and quickly responded to our requests. (Exception: I left several voices messages that were never returned. Found out after arriving that he prefers texting.) Check-in process wasn’t well communicated (which is why I had left several messages, but all that’s needed is to just show up after 4. One last thing: if you’re accustomed to A/C, there isn’t any. The ceiling fan and open windows was adequate when we were there. We would book again if visiting the area.

Nice place to stay in Big Fork
Entire upstairs suite over garage is yours. Great feel on a very large property. About a quarter mile off the road and nice and private. Well worth a stay when you're near Flathead Lake. A couple of miles from Big Fork's small and quaint downtown which is on the lake.

Fantastic Stay at Proctor Studio
My wife and I spent our first wedding anniversary at Proctor Studio. Lee is a wonderful host. Everything was clean and neat, private and relaxing. He even gave us a tour of his gallery and a demonstration in his studio. We had very friendly conversations and we felt right at home. We will highly recommend anyone to stay at Lee's place.

Charming stay
This was my fourth year staying at this location and I look forward to coming back next year. I love the location of this place. Not far from town at all, yet far enough removed to enjoy some country silence. It is also easy to get on the highway to head to Kalispell, which is a decently easy drive. Lee Proctor is and has been a gracious host. His demeanor adds a level of comfortableness to the stay that I appreciate.

Quick visit
Just stayed the night as we were traveling through. Unique property. We got in late in the afternoon and left quite early so no time to visit or explore the property. It was quite hot when we got into the property. We opened windows and thankfully there was a cool breeze so we could sleep comfortably. Would suggest a floor fan(fans) for hotter days.

Stunning Property and Fabulous Host
As a Mom traveling with two kids, this was a wonderful experience! We ate breakfast watching horses graze just feet from our guest home-including two babies. Lee invited us into his art studio to see the massive sculpture he was working on. What a true gift for my kids!
