We have stopped allowing cats at our Airbnb’s. We are cat lovers, and own two, but several potential renters are deathly allergic to them and will not be able to use our facilities if there have been cats living there. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Lastly, we have three other Airbnb on our 125 acres but still near Big Sky Ranch, so if you would like to have other family members or friends join you, they can rent one of our other homes. We have hosted family reunions and wedding parties in the past and it works out very well.
