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.

Nice, quiet, yet close to town
The house was very nice. It was a little chilly in there, but they did have space heaters for the rooms if needed. It was very nice and quiet where we were, but still close enough to town. I will definitely book this place again.

Very accommodating hosts!
We were very grateful to have a cozy, warm place to stay in Dillon. The hosts were responsive and friendly. The house was nicely furnished, lots of space. We especially enjoyed the artwork in every room!
Not much to say about what we liked other than spacious. This is located in a terrible location, felt unsafe. Also, the dishes and pots & pans needed to be replaced. We could not use the oven as it had been sprayed with cleaner and not wiped out clean. They advertise barbecue grill which also needed to be replaced. No outdoor seating but we wouldn't sit outside due to location. We would never recommend this place and we find it hard to believe the ratings this place received.

Stay in Dillon
Really enjoyed the location and close proximity to downtown. It was the perfect fit for our fishing trip and just the right size. The two twin beds were a little uncomfortable but I put an extra quilt or two on it to cushion those springs.

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.
