“If you’re looking for a first-class Property Management Company, Stay Montana is outstanding. This team goes above and beyond and we have always been satisfied. We live in Canada and decided to rent out our vacation home in Columbia Falls. Stay Montana was highly recommended to us. We contacted them and in a short period of time, our house was on the market as a vacation rental. They literally looked after everything for us! We feel so fortunate to have a property management company that cares about the homeowner and renters. David and the Stay Montana team have been a dream to work with. No matter when we have contacted them with a question or in need of help, they have always been there for us. If you want to work with the best, we recommend Stay Montana.”

Graham
Bozeman Owner
"This is the best management company I have ever worked with. Amber Vogl has been incredibly impressive to to work with and is always a pleasure to talk to. They are quick to respond to any needs or questions I have no matter how small. They were invaluable in getting my unit on the market. They have done an excellent job of keeping the vacancy low. They also provide suggestions of improvements that can be made to get more renters. The guests have been equally impressed with their performance. I would hate to have to compete with them because I am not sure how anyone would do any better. I will be a customer for life."
