Best Vacation!

Misty Chalet is a beautiful and peaceful home. The comfy beds, wonderful soaking tub, and so much more. My family and I loved the attention to details and the well cared for home. The kitchen was so great, that I did not even mind cooking on my vacation! The location is perfect, it took us only 30 minutes to get to Bozeman. I was hoping to see some wild life on our first trip to Montana, and we saw so many animals just around the house, including a mama bear and her twins who came by one morning to visit!
Dave and Virginia were so easy to work with. Their pride of ownership in this truly awsome house really shows! This is God’s country. If you want to do alot of things, you can like hiking that is close by, rafting, horseback riding. Or you can just sit on the back deck with a cool beverage and look at Mother Nature at her finest! No stress, No Worries.
One week at Misty Chalet with 2000 Pictures and alot of Family Memories……….PRICELESS

The Misty Chalet far exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed a fabulous week in the mountains surrounded by solid wood and comfortable, seemed to be brand new, furnishings. It is absolutely gorgeous and meticulously clean! (As a dental hygienist, I am very picky about cleanliness, and this is the cleanest vacation home I have ever stayed in.) Every detail is well thought out. We are a family of five with teenagers. The kids had fun playing pool and sitting in the hot tub and challenging the computer chess game. We watched the Direct TV in the evenings and made fires in the fireplace. Our laptop easily connected to the wireless network that was provided. We enjoyed area activities of hiking, golf, horse back riding, zip line, and white water rafting. We saw wildlife right on the property! The owner was great to work with as well. We give the Misty Chalet high marks in all areas! We obviously would return in a heart beat…we didn’t want to leave when our week was up!

Yellowstone National Park

Depending on the weather, it looks like Yellowstone National Park will close this year on November 2, 2009, with all park roads closed to the public at 8 a.m. except from the North Entrance to Upper Mammoth Terrace, and Mammoth via Tower Junction to Northeast Entrance. Cooke City via Colter Pass to the Long Lake gate is not maintained for wheeled vehicle travel.

Check out the Yellowstone National Park web site for details and the latest information.

Combine classic links-style golf and the stunning natural beauty of Big Sky country to witness a golf experience like no other — the Scenic 18 hole par 72 golf course at north of Big Sky Town Center. The Arnold Palmer course is 6,500 feet above sea level — offering longer drives and spectacular views! Winding along the wildlife-rich banks of the West Fork of the scenic Gallatin River, you tee up with beaver, deer and moose as your gallery. Re-live your best shots at the Bunker Bar and Grill, or get some professional tips at the fully-equipped pro shop.

The shopping in Town Center is really fun! Great couple of shops for girls (Hiking in Heels, The Root), and some really great outfitter stores (Grizzly Outfitters well equipped with a wide variety of outdoor gear and fun things for girls…Patagonia dresses, shirts, cute sandals, purses, girly hiking backpacks). Also bike rentals from Grizzly Outfitters are available. DeJavu located in Town Center is one a great antique stores. Also checkout Horse of a Different Color….this is such a cute gift store and had so much to see. Also, the Flower Shop is a gift store as well as a coffee shop.
