Here are a few questions we asked to get to know Kelly:
- What do you think is the most important thing in a home for a guest? Cleanliness and everything works as it should. Everyone looks forward to getting away, so the place they rent should be somewhere they can relax and feel at home and really enjoy some hard earned time off.
If you could cook dinner for a celebrity in one of our vacation homes, who would it be and where? Keanu Reeves. He is always so humble and spends a lot of time supporting his fans and charities. It would be fun it sit down and just chat with him about anything that comes to mind.- When you make a bed, hospital corners or no hospital corners? Hospital Corners because it looks clean and neat.
- What’s your preference, vacation rental, hotel, RV, or tent? I really enjoy camping and hiking, so spending a few days doing both is really relaxing to me. The smell I missed the most while living in the south was the smell of a campfire! If I vacation on the beach, then a nice resort is the way to go.
- What is your favorite season? Fall. I love the change of colors, the smell of cinnamon, cool mornings and fall camping.
- Favorite sports team? I’m not really into sports, but I do enjoy watching the Winter X Games. I have been a fan of Shaun White since I lived in CO.
- Favorite book or movie character of all time? I really enjoy the classic 80’s movies. The money Pit, Top Gun, Better off Dead, Breakfast Club, Goonies, etc.
- Are you loyal to any brand? If yes why? I like Columbia. That brand has never let me down and are the only hiking boots that fit me best and last forever.

Why you need to escape to Montana this fall
Fall in Montana offers changing leaves, perfect temperatures and many outdoor activities. Getaway from it all and enjoy some family time or just simple R&R. Montana boasts something for everyone! Find Your Fall Retreat>>
Our favorite reasons to visit Montana in fall:
- Leaf Peeping – did you know that Montana is home to Tamaracks, a conifer whose needles turn a gorgeous golden yellow color before falling off and returning green in the spring?
- Hiking – temps are cool, colors are popping, serene hikes abound!
- Yellowstone & Glacier National Parks – far fewer people visit the parks in the fall. Take a guided tour, boat ride, hike or scenic drive. Plus, tickets are no longer required at Glacier National Park after September 6, 2021!
- Fishing – before brown trout start spawning in November, they are really active which means perfect fishing!
- Sunrises & Sunsets – Big Sky Country offers stunning sunrises and sunsets over vast open spaces, gorgeous rivers or breathtaking peaks. You’ll see clouds like you never have before.
- Great Weather – September and October bring lots of sunshine and mild temperatures with averages in the upper 60s. Fall is the perfect time to get outside!
Need a home base for your fall activities? Whether you want a secluded property with plenty of privacy or a property where you can walk to restaurants, shopping and activities, we have a wide assortment to fit every need.
Did you know we offer discounts for weekly & monthly stays? Extended Stay Discounts>>
