Dream Haven is a Dream

I have loved horses forever and now, at age 75 continue to love them while carrying a bit of wariness about riding "strangers" since I'm WAY too old to risk a fall! I visited Dream Haven in 2015 and extended my stay there by several days because it was such an awesome experience. I knew I'd find my way back to Montana and booked again but postponed during the pandemic.

This summer reinforced my notion that Dream Haven Guest Ranch is a dream come true for horse enthusiasts, novices or experienced, who want the combo of fresh air, mountain riding, a working ranch, all levels of horses for your riding pleasure, and a professional and caring staff whose customer service is impeccable! Shadow is my main "man", because he doesn't care whether he ever gets out of 2nd gear. And walking and trotting up and down the trails is plenty fast for this old broad.

Caroline and Puggy, Heidi and Jason work together like a well-oiled machine whose sole purpose is to unearth the cowboy/cowgirl inside of us so the beauty and joy of hoses can be fully experienced, loved and appreciated. I LOVE DREAM HAVEN!

And as long as I'm walking and talking, I will keep going back, hopefully next summer. If every business operated the way this one does, America would be thriving!

Most memorable vacation to date!

My husband and I were planning to go on a 5 year anniversary (honeymoon) since we didn't immediately go after we married. Our plans were postponed due to covid and I am so very grateful that happened!! If anything good could possibly come from that disaster IT'S AT DREAM HAVEN!! After such a rough time during the pandemic my husband decided we deserved to get away, FINALLY! We visited in June, 2021. Little did we know we would be meeting new 'forever friends'!! Jason, Heidi, Caroline and Puggy are most definitely some of the most caring and genuine people we have ever met. Worm (aka Caroline) is extremely patient with the horses as well as the riders. She gave me my confidence back in just a few minutes (not just on the horse) and I truly thought it would take all week. Jason is an amazing cook and chauffer and ranch manager and host and so on and so forth because he does it all. He and Heidi both keep that ranch running smoothly while keeping the house clean and comfortable for the guests. They work like a well oiled machine. Heidi is very knowledgeable about many things so I advise you to pick her brain. She just might surprise you! She's super sweet too and she made the whole place feel like home only moments after arriving. We researched for weeks and could not pass up the option of the quaint and personal experience of Dream Haven. Although throughout our 6 night visit we had other riders join our trail rides, it was still very enjoyable meeting others who were just getting their first taste at Dream Haven like us, as well as meeting others who have visited and basically never left. They have also become new friends! Oh, and we can't forget about Puggy! Puggy is a one-of-a-kind! He is a very special man who enjoys the heck out of life and it shows through his eyes when he tells his hilarious and crazy stories of his life experiences. I highly suggest that you choose Dream Haven if you're looking for a long quiet get-away, or just a trail ride, they truly have it all, including pigs, sheep, goats, chickens and the largest donkey I have ever seen! And you can not beat the family meal time! Everyone comes together and enjoys a tasty meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) while communicating like human beings. Something I think we're all missing these days. And they do their best to accommodate everyone's needs. We can not wait to visit again, in fact we are already planning. Thank you Dream Haven!!! Until next time!

Excellent

Two hour horseback riding with Caroline was amazing! Horses well trained and cared for. Trail was spectacular with beautiful backdrop of mountains and valley. If looking for an enjoyable scenic riding call Dream Haven!

Wonderful needed get-a-way

My husband and I saw the Dream Haven sign on Highway 2 as we were exploring Montana. We called and stayed Friday and Saturday night with the Anniversary Getaway. It was exactly what we needed for the weekend! The room & bathroom were clean and comfortable. Jason's cooking was amazing! He adapted food to fit the eating preferences of the entire group. Puggy and Caroline, Jason and the other guests made us feel like friends visiting rather than paying guests. The Trail ride was what I'd expect from riding with friends! And was adapted to each of our individual riding experience.
Again, thank you for the much needed break from reality! We hope to see you soon ; )

My wife and I just completed an amazing tour of the Northwest and we wanted to visit Glacier Park. We also wanted to avoid the touristy trappings of Kalispell so we gave the ranch a try. What a wonderful surprise! We were, unfortunately, only able to spend a day at the park and then left for Idaho the next morning. The time we had with Jason, Puggy, and Caroline were so very special! They all make you feel at home right off the bat. The horses, goat and chicken ARE a treat, and add to a very relaxing, authentic Montana experience. We are already planning for a future trip back with a more relaxing schedule. Looking forward to that horseback ride!

Amazing

Me and boyfriend stayed here during the July 4th weekend 2016.
Hosts are really nice and knowledgeable. I loved the stories they shared with us about the ranch, wildlife and Montana. I also enjoyed having breakfast with other guests and chatting about our trip. The horses, dogs, bunnies and the cat really brightened our moods as well.
Will definitely visit again!

Fantastic

I visited Dream Haven last September 2014
Amazing is just one word to describe Dream Haven,
Fantastic atmosphere to just sit back and relax by the fire or have a ball with fantastic people or enjoying a short or long ride on one of their gorgeous gentle horses. Great food and hospitality, enjoyable conversation with everyone, your guaranteed lots of fun and laughs. I 100% recommend a visit to anyone wanting an enjoyable getaway. I will defiantly visit again, most probably more than once in the years to come. Stephanie from Australia

Response: Thanks, Stephanie. We enjoyed having you here and you are welcome anytime.

If you have not stayed at the Ranch, by now you have missed a great time with the folks there. We stayed an extra day, and I did not want to leave. really relaxing time away from all the stuff of the city. Jason and Melissa and Addison made to feel like like family. a great cook out, on the hill under the stars, setting around the fire, and good conversation, all around, just great. My family had a great time again. We are making plans to be there again as soon as possible. Thanks for having my coffee ready in the morning Jason. Zean, Christy; and gary

Response: We are glad you stayed and hope to see you again soon.

My husband and I stayed at Dreamhaven on our way to Glacier National Park on August 16, 2014. When we arrived, Jason had a delicious meal waiting for us and was very pleasant company. We had a relaxing evening visiting the horses and wrapped it up with good conversation. The next morning we woke up to a hearty breakfast. We are planning on going back and spending more time.

Response: We enjoyed having you stay and the horses seemed to take a liking to you as well.
