Fantastic, homey, well-equipped
Lee was amazing and very communicative with us as guests. The property was great and easy to find. The guest house was very cleanly and had all the amenities we could ask for! It was a great place for us to decompress after a week of long hikes!

Nice place to stay in Big Fork
Entire upstairs suite over garage is yours. Great feel on a very large property. About a quarter mile off the road and nice and private. Well worth a stay when you're near Flathead Lake. A couple of miles from Big Fork's small and quaint downtown which is on the lake.

Peaceful Place
This is a very sweet property with thoughtful details to make your stay welcoming. We were fortunate enough to visit the metal workshop and see current projects and to get a quick peek in the glass gallery which were both really interesting. We are thankful to find this stay and would definitely return. Thank you Lee for having us!

Charming stay
This was my fourth year staying at this location and I look forward to coming back next year. I love the location of this place. Not far from town at all, yet far enough removed to enjoy some country silence. It is also easy to get on the highway to head to Kalispell, which is a decently easy drive. Lee Proctor is and has been a gracious host. His demeanor adds a level of comfortableness to the stay that I appreciate.

Fantastic Stay at Proctor Studio
My wife and I spent our first wedding anniversary at Proctor Studio. Lee is a wonderful host. Everything was clean and neat, private and relaxing. He even gave us a tour of his gallery and a demonstration in his studio. We had very friendly conversations and we felt right at home. We will highly recommend anyone to stay at Lee's place.

Twenty-two days in Bigfork
Proctor's Studio provided a very quiet, relaxing stay. Location was perfect for us, just outside of Bigfork, with a beautiful view of the Swan and Mission Mountains! Horses, deer and wild turkeys entertained us as we dined by the picture window. The studio was clean, nice and bright and Lee was quick to provide anything we needed. For an extended stay, you may want to read through Amenities, as there may be some items you wish to bring along. We were very pleased with our stay!

Pleasant experience
Spacious area above 3-bay garage that includes beds, kitchen, and sitting area, and a separate bathroom. The owner was pleasant and quickly responded to our requests. (Exception: I left several voices messages that were never returned. Found out after arriving that he prefers texting.) Check-in process wasn’t well communicated (which is why I had left several messages, but all that’s needed is to just show up after 4. One last thing: if you’re accustomed to A/C, there isn’t any. The ceiling fan and open windows was adequate when we were there. We would book again if visiting the area.

Quick visit
Just stayed the night as we were traveling through. Unique property. We got in late in the afternoon and left quite early so no time to visit or explore the property. It was quite hot when we got into the property. We opened windows and thankfully there was a cool breeze so we could sleep comfortably. Would suggest a floor fan(fans) for hotter days.

Peaceful tranquility
Everything about this property made it one of the easiest and best I've stayed in. There is so much space on the property and in the unit you don't feel crowded. Lee made it extremely easy for us by calling us ahead and opening the unit up for us before arrival. You do not have to worry about neighbors or noise. We had a fantastic stay and only wish we could have booked some glass blowing classes while we were there. 5 out of 5 on my scale and I travel a ton!

Magical Montana Honeymoon Suite
This was our first time visiting Montana and it was nothing short of amazing! Lee was extremely helpful when communicating back & forth with us. As soon as we drove down the private driveway to the property, Lee greeted us and gave us a tour. The peacefulness of the property makes all your worry and stress disappear! It is truly a "cabin in the woods," but with the safety and security you would feel as if on a private resort. You have the beautiful Swan Mountain Range right in window view, you can lay in bed and take in all the tranquility. It was absolutely perfect and exactly what we hoped for our vacation. A home away from home, but you still have the accessibility to the everyday necessities you need-gas stations, coffee shops, restaurants and dining. We will definitely be coming back for our first wedding anniversary!! Thanks so much Lee.

Met our needs
Off beaten path which was perfect for first night traveling Montana smallish towns. Mostly just spent the overnight there - beds and shower were good. Only drawback was couldn’t figure out how to lock door. Could’ve called Lee but weren’t that worried about it.

Glacier trip
Nice little bonus room above the garage. No air conditioning and the room was really hot at checkin. Would recommend a box fan to pull cool air from outside. Is an 45 minute drive from Glacier park. There was no way for me to secure the room from the outside since we were not issued a key so that was odd.but the room was great and had a beautiful view
