In 1995 John and Cynthia Osborne were searching to find the ideal place to retire. They searched all over the United States looking for that ” last best place”, and found it in Twin Bridges, Montana. At the time, they were not thinking of vacation rentals, lodging, or guest accommodations. They simply wanted a quiet, rural riverfront place to enjoy the sporting life. After purchasing the ranch, they looked at each other and said, “Okay, now what?”
John and Cynthia
John’s interest in fly fishing and Cynthia’s interest in restoring historic buildings led to the rest of the story……
