High School Friends/Families Gathering
June 26,2011
"We are a group of five high school friends and families who have come to your ranch to relax reconnect and rejuvenate. From your website it was obvious that the location was perfect but it wasn’t until we arrived that we realized what a treat our fearless leader found. Your place is beautifully laid out, impeccably decorated and equipped with things and extras that we’ve found nowhere else---not even a Four Seasons. Where did you find those beds and linens? This place is just one of our favorites anywhere."
"I am one of the wives of the high school friends. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed staying at the Double T River Ranch! These past 4 days have been the most memorable times we have ever had together. The accommodations here were truly amazing and the attention to detail was impeccable. We can’t wait to come again. Our boys do not want to leave."What a Very Special Place!
Karen and Mike McAllister, MT
"It is so clear this ranch was built with love and clarity for what truly matters for comfort and peacefulness. Your hospitality was very generous. I can't wait to share this place with every person we love!"
Ace Hardware Retreat
"The Double T is the perfect venue for our annual management retreat. It blends privacy and seclusion with all of the comfort and amenities that you need to have an effective business meeting. It's become tradition for us and a highlight every year. It's the only place I can think of that makes work feel like vacation."
HATCHfest 2010 Organizer
“Thank you so much for opening your ranch to us again this year. It really is the part that had been missing from previous HATCH years. We are able to take those guests from their busy LA lives, dust them off a little, get them some fresh air, and really open up their minds to what the rest of the week has in store. The Double T River Ranch in the beautiful Shield’s Valley did just that for them and this experience is the key to forging those relationships that they build all week and nurture for years to come.”
Double T Slice of Heaven
Guest: James (New York, NY)
Date of Stay: 07/02/10
"The Double T is one of those rare perfect places in the world, where the incredible natural beauty (truly staggering and inspiring) of the place is perfectly matched by the utterly relaxed (yet quietly luxurious) atmosphere. From reading on the cabin porch as the river ran past to walking along the many paths, through groves of Aspens, where every turn brought a new, even more beautiful view into focus, the ranch allowed me to find perfect solitude. But, the big green barn was the real heart of the ranch, a gathering place for an afternoon chat and the center of the many raucous, hilarious and truly delicious evenings. Addie, Mitch and Deborah are natural hosts, totally at ease but instinctively attentive. I can't (and don't want to) get the Double T out of my mind and can't wait to return."
True Montana experience
Guest: Douge and Joanne (Rochester, New York)

"We spent three days and two nights at the Double T River Ranch for our son's wedding. What an exceptional property this is. The pictures do not do it justice! It is surrounded by mountains, cliffs, lush pastures and a river. The amenities are also exceptional. The cabins were roomy, comfortable and lush. The screens were even operated by remote control! Addie was a wonderful hostess and extremely accommodating. We are from New York and did not know what to expect at a Montana wedding. The Ranch far exceeded our expectations. If you ever have an opportunity to visit Bozeman Montana make sure the Double T River ranch is first on your list of accommodations. We were thrilled to have this as a part of our memories of my son's wedding and Montana."
A Fabulous Birthday Weekend
"The Double T was the perfect option for our 'girls weekend', easily and comfortably accommodating all 20 of us. We enjoyed the gorgeous setting, the activities and the food (the barn is a great set up for cooking and entertaining). As much as we all love to cook, a highlight was the fully-catered dinner that the Double T staff helped us coordinate. All in all, a very fun, relaxing, easy weekend."
Staying at the Double T was supremely comfortable, relaxing
"We stayed for two days and one night on our way to Yellowstone National Park. We were greeted by Addie and Deb, our hosts, given a great tour of the facilities and grounds and then left alone to settle in and relax. Our cabin had all the amenities that we needed, was elegantly furnished in a rustic way which fit the landscape. We were right by the river which afforded a great walk, wonderful sounds and a chance to see some wildlife. My husband even "wet a line". We were served a great dinner and visited with our hosts under the stars sipping B & B. It doesn't get much better! The Ranch is not that far out of Livingston but how it is set up affords quite a bit of privacy which is a plus. Our only problem is that we didn't schedule enough time there to really enjoy the beauty and serenity of the place. We highly recommend the Ranch for a vacation, retreat, a family reunion or s stopover on the way to or from Yellowstone. "
The Carribean of Montana
"What can i say...the Double T River Ranch is paradise found! My girlfriends and I stayed here for a girls weekend and had a BLAST! They have everything you could ever want or need there-including incredible hospitality, luxurious beds, and unmatched accomodations.
I have traveled alot in my lifetime but the Double T River Ranch stands out as one of the best! We lounged all day by the pond and enjoyed the sun, played bocce ball and walked the property line over and over only to find new surprises each time! The river cabins are a MUST, and are nestled in an aspen grove that is breathtaking!
I can't wait to get back to the Double T River Ranch, the BEST R&R I have ever had! Thank you!"
Family Celebrating Dad's 60th Birthday 10/22/09
"There are no words to express the serenity, beauty and mysticism surrounding this place. The river, cliffs and valleys are majestic and there will always be the herd of deer, eagles and black bear! My 60th was indescribable and will live as memories forever. P. S. The fishing was great."

Family Vacation 9/12/09
"It was such a treat hanging out with you and Addie! You are delightful hostesses - concerned about making sure our needs were met but not intrusive! Your ranch is so much more than I imagined or could get a feel for from the website. We found it very relaxing and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The Shields River area is quite beautiful and the Ranch really captures the best of the area - cliffs, river, mountains in the distance, swimming pond, open meadows and trees. I think what really impressed us though was your attention to all the details - the barn has everything available for indoor fun and recreation. The cabin we stayed in was handsomely appointed, actually elegant, in a country kind of way. Having access to wifi and cell service was a big plus but I didn't feel at all motivated to check in when it was so great to just relax, walk the property, read, sit on the cabin's front porch and enjoy the quiet. Having the ranch exclusively for our use was the best - just us and the stars at night and the sounds of the river. We even jumped a deer on one of our walks. The various Ranch cabins/houses are situated too to allow for lots of privacy in close proximity. What a great place especially for classes, group work, family reunions, or a friends' getaway. I will definitely share the website info with friends and family and some of my professional colleagues."

"I have stayed at some of the finest resorts in the world. This is the best of the best. 'World Class'!"
Hatch Fest Board Retreat guest rave 6/30/09
"There is just something about the Ranch As we drove into the property I could already sense the essence of Montana all around us. The grounds blew us away- from comfortable walking paths leading to the river and cabins to picnic tables and benches placed in the most perfect spots for stopping and taking in the stunning views. It is obvious much care goes into the property. We felt so welcomed by Addie and Deborah, our Ranch hosts; we were encouraged to make ourselves at home and the layout of the ranch as well as their hospitality made it easy to relax and do so. Most every detail has been considered. I loved the wildflowers sitting on the window sills, the comfy beds, uniquely decorated bedrooms, campfire on the patio and the trout my husband caught on his 4th cast was icing on what was already a wonderful getaway. Double T, thank you for providing such a beautiful escape for us and our dear friends. We've been reminded of many of the core reasons we love Montana so much!"

"We had a wonderful time at the ranch. The weather was great. The kids played outside from morning until night. It was fabulous. You had everything we needed. We each cooked a meal and shared it. The beds – oh my it was hard to get up in the morning! It is truly a special place. Thank you for letting us experience it!" "Absolutely wonderful and relaxing! You thought of all the details in terms of kitchen and bathroom items. The beds are wonderful. The linens and towels are fabulous too."
