Your Hosts
Sam
& Patti
Sam Bernhardt and Patti Jones met in July of 2000 while they both
lived in San Jose, California. Sam had recently retired
from Aventis Pharmaceuticals after 35 years. Patti worked
at Ames Research Center for NASA and was thinking about
an early retirement.
After
some discussion and encouragement, Sam convinced Patti
it was a good idea to leave California for good and “go
home” to Montana, where he was raised. Patti said “why
not, but what will we do with all our free time?”
That got Sam’s wheels spinning and he bought some land
and started planning a house big enough for their two
families to visit and enjoy. They tried volunteering for
every civic project that came their way and even developed
a Halloween party for the local kids. Patti wasn’t happy,
there was too much free time. She needed more to occupy
her life. All poor Sam wanted to do was fish, hunt and
play golf.
After two years of talking, they thought maybe doing
just a little part time work would be fun. The more they
talked the bigger and BIGGER their plans became…maybe
something like a B&B, or take in a few hunters. In
2006 they opened their doors to their first B&B customers.
Sam and Patti love entertaining and being hosts for your
enjoyment and pleasure. They hope you will join them at
their Montana ranch.
