Oddfellow Inn & Farm

It was very charming with a great concept. However, lodging details were a bit misleading as far as communal bathrooms were concerned. It was quite loud throughout the night with continuous train traffic and being able to hear everything in adjacent room. Was difficult to sleep. The staff we did meet were very friendly and it was clean. We enjoyed our free beverage on the patio at check in. We were disappointed that there was no food left but yogurt and apples in the morning, long before breakfast service was over. We appreciated the unique experience but it wasn’t quite what we were expecting

The location, outside of Helena, with great views of the mountains and a serene, countryside atmosphere, were great. The on-location restaurant has great food and very friendly staff. Paul, the manager, was extremely friendly and upgraded us to a suite, which we really appreciated. The bedrooms are small, with a dated feeling, which is probably due to the history of the place, and that is fair, but should be more clearly disclosed on the website.

this was easily one of the worst hotel experiences i've ever had. first, no one answered the phone when i called with questions - three times, no answer. then i arrived - i had to walk through the restaurant and a (seemingly random) server offered to show me to my room. no receipt, no confirmation, no welcome drink (as advertised). my room had no bathroom (this was not disclosed on the listing) - instead had a community bathroom. again, not disclosed. i was then not given a key to my room. i decided to risk it & shower, while waiting for my key to arrive. it just didn't. i eventually had to go find someone in the restaurant who asked if i could wait another half hour, which i couldnt, as i needed to grab dinner. he begrudingly got me a key and i left. the room itself was so small i couldn't open my suitcase (carry on size) anywhere except blocking the door, as a fire hazard. the room also smelled like urine. it was not air conditioned, and a fan was not provided. i would have loved to have asked for one, but again, no one picks up the phone, and there is no front desk. the walk way path from the parking lot to the front door at night is not lit - it is in disrepair and unsafe. they also don't leave any lights on inside the building itself, not even censored or "candle" lit. i also didn't expect a tv or anything fancy, but beware there is literally nothing to offer in terms of "things to do". no social space for other guests, no TVs, not even a room phone. don't stay.

There's was nobody there! And they didn't answer the phone!

Exceptional! From the moment we checked in, the owner Paul was an absolutely fantastic host, he and Jared have created a truly brilliant concept here at the inn and farm. The breathtaking Montana expanse is a perfect backdrop for this gorgeous historical home. we’ve found a little slice of southern France minutes from downtown Helena complete with the “je ne sais quoi“ that only comes from the passionate owners and chef. The farm itself is a working 42 acre farm with all kinds of adorable animals, complete with Toulouse the elderly, yet endearing farm cat with whom I shared many a fabulous meal with. The main home is beautifully and lovingly restored. A must see for any lover of historical architecture! However, we opted for a more adventurous lodging option; and stayed in the charming off-grid Tiny House. Not only is it very “Instagramable” but the attention to detail and efforts that go into creating an eco-sustainable option do not fall flat! I hope to be back very soon! Which brings me to the food, what can I say other than, exceptional. The chef, (straight from France) delivered what could only ever be executed by a French master. The farm to table ingredients emphasized the classic technique and creativity in the best way possible. The generosity of the owners and kindness of the staff was simply icing on the perfectly French cake. A must-stop for anyone visiting Montana.

Absolutely marvellous hospitality by Paul and Jared with their dedicated team. Arrived in the afternoon and was greeted by ever cheerful Paul who showed us the room and met every request by our family. We had a special request for laundry to be done as we were travelling in states for almost 2 weeks now. The three bedroom suite was clean and tastefully designed. The living room area was a comfortable area for the family to hang out. Dinner was a sumptuous affair as we tried almost everything we could in the menu. Pork ribs, half chicken and beef. Everything was well prepared and taste was on point. Special shout out to Will who prepared our welcome drink with a huge smile on his face. Always heartwarming to receive such great hospitality in a place far from home. Kudos to such a great establishment managed by an awesome team.
