Discover the Charm of Homestead on McVey
One of the most compelling features of Homestead on McVey is its 115-year-old barn, which has been thoughtfully updated to meet the needs of modern events. The barn can accommodate up to 120 guests and features two levels: a dining area on the first floor and a dancing space upstairs. While retaining its rustic charm through exposed wooden beams and classic design elements, the barn also incorporates modern amenities to ensure that your event runs smoothly.

Versatility in Venue Options: Spaces for Every Occasion
Homestead on McVey offers a range of venue options to suit events of different sizes and styles. In addition to the historic barn, Randel Hall provides a more intimate setting suitable for smaller gatherings. The venue also offers a picturesque outdoor ceremony site surrounded by the grandeur of Montana’s natural landscape. Furthermore, the venue has indoor options to accommodate celebrations when weather conditions are less than ideal.
Accommodations: The Comfort of an Extended Stay
For couples and guests interested in extending their stay, the venue offers a modern farmhouse equipped with a large kitchen, living area, and three bedrooms. This accommodation option not only adds convenience but also extends the celebratory atmosphere over a weekend, allowing families and friends more time to spend together.
Activities and Attractions: More Than Just a Venue
The location of Homestead on McVey is perfect for those who appreciate the outdoors. Close proximity to the Bitterroot River and Mountains offers an array of outdoor activities, from fishing to hiking. Furthermore, several golf courses, breweries, and restaurants are within driving distance, providing ample entertainment options for guests.

This flexibility allows couples and organizers to customize their experience at the venue according to their specific vision and needs. One of the coolest aspects about the venue, in my opinion, is the access you have to tables, chairs, and decor. When talking to the owner, David, he mentioned that sometimes couples will leave decor, which the Homestead on Mcvey keeps and allows other couples to use. Rental and decor costs can quickly add up and when a venue offers a range of options you can invest these funds into other aspects of your wedding.
