 A Little Bit About Myself 

          Hello! I am Michael Kayle McCallum from the great state of Montana, and I’d like to invite you to be a part of my dream to start a new hotel. This hotel of mine will be like no other, with hospitality opportunities you won’t find anywhere else. 
         This coming January, I will be completing a personal goal of an 8-year military commitment to this country that I love and the state I believe in. I served five years in the United States Army and finishing my military commitment with three years in the Montana National Guard.
          While I was active, I served under 4-4 Calvary with the 1st Infantry Division out of Fort Riley Kansas and 3-71 Calvary with the 10th Mountain Division out of Fort Drum New York. Now, I’m serving with the 1-189th AVN GSAB out of Helena Montana. I'll be receiving my DD-214 in January 2021.

           Before my military career, I worked for two years in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota and 3 years as a Union painter (Local 707) in Cleveland Ohio. Prior to that, I worked on the road with the best paperhanging company known throughout the Midwest. I’ve lived in 9 different states in this great nation of ours and loved every one of them. I am looking forward to getting back to my home state of Montana and starting this dream business of mine.

 Description Of The Business 

           McCallum’s Riverfront Estates (“M.R.E.”) will be a unique hospitality establishment with Montana’s beautiful scenery as its backdrop. Providing unique outdoor experiences through the development of a multi-use facility providing year-round resort accommodations. This establishment will consist of a restaurant and bar with an area for a variety of entertainment. Rooms will be available for overnight lodging along with a computer classroom for those looking to give a hands-on presentation or a training course.

          M.R.E. will be located along a river for summer swimming, boating, and heart-warming campfires with family and friends. A variety of year-round group camps will include youth camps, ski camps, survival camps, couple/single camps, band camps, Christian camps, football camps, hunting camps, and so many more.

          The facility will also support outdoor activities including ATV riding, tent camping, RV hookups, horseback riding, hunting/fishing, hiking and lots more. There will be a large deck for outdoor relaxation with a variety of lounge seating and grills for personal use.

          The building will house 35 rooms with a footprint approximately 50’ x 100’. There will be four floors with the first floor similar to the style of a walkout basement. The first floor will be the location of the bar, restaurant, classroom and the entertainment area. The wall facing the river will open to a large deck offering outside accommodations. This wall will have large windows reaching to the ceiling of the second floor, giving the bar and entertainment area cathedral ceiling and a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains.

          The second floor will consist of four rooms that'll have the accommodations of any quality hotel room you’ll find today. These four rooms will be located on ground level giving them their own access to the outside, while having a secondary entry from the balcony above the bar, just like the old western days. This balcony will wrap around the entire entertainment area and offer a quiet setting while admiring the M.R.E.'s beautiful view.

           Most of the rooms will be located on the third floor and won’t have your typical hotel room accommodations. These 10’ x 10’ rooms will have a unique step back in time hospitality feel and share public restrooms. These restrooms will supply the guests on the third floor with their restroom needs. This floor will be the location of the abundant sleeping accommodations needed when hosting the many group camps for which this establishment will be known for. It will also be ideal for those working or hunting for long periods of time in the M.R.E.'s local area.

           There will be a suite located on the fourth floor. This elaborate suite will cater to large groups or for the customers looking for a luxury experience. This suite will consist of three bedrooms, with one being the master bedroom, another with two queen-sized beds, and the third having 4 bunk beds. These rooms will provide plenty of sleeping for larger groups. The kitchen will be fully stocked while having a nice dining area for a traditional sit-down dinner. The large and relaxing living room will house a fireplace with access to its own private balcony. Along with this suite, there will be two bathrooms and an office for guests’ business needs. 

           The outside will consist of many features including a beach for relaxation, BBQ grills for outdoor cooking, campfires to warm up by, and a fenced-in area for guests’ animals to run wild. In time, I will install RV hook ups, small private cabins, docks, and an outbuilding for larger events. The M.R.E. will offer many options to our guests, giving it a wide range of clientele and successfully accommodating needs of all visitors.

 Achievements From The Contributors Funding

          Out of this campaign, I am looking to reach my goal of $485,000. If my campaign goal is met, these funds along with my savings will make up the percentage of personal investment needed to receive my business bank loan.

          The campaign funding will purchase the site of the hotel which makes up the majority of my campaign goal. Installation of the large commercial septic system along with the 6-inch well needed for the M.R.E.'s water supply.  All the excavating needed around the location of the hotel and the pouring of the building's strong foundation. 

          These beginning stages of construction have already been looked at by professional companies and they are all excited to start this positive and lively project. I will be ready to confidently continue funding the rest of this project with my business bank loan. With the completion of the first M.R.E. hotel and reaching my operational financial goals, I’ll be continuing my business adventure by looking for the next location of the M.R.E. hotels.

 My Perks To You 

          It is easy for me to create a wide range of perks for this establishment, due to the variety of options and outdoor activities. These perks will be provided to you at an incredible price. There will be several room perks available, along with perks for ATV’s, Boats, outdoor adventurers, and of course the M.R.E.’s main attraction the “Group Camps".

           The first perk I’d like to offer is for $25 to all my fellow comrades. One-night stay with a burger and drink. If you think you can get another drink on me, I suggest you bring the best coin you have because I’ll challenge anyone, any day, with mine. The next few perks are the rooms for the many individuals in need of some good R-and-R. These low room fares are a steal and you won’t find better deals in such a nicer area. Along with your room you may want to pick up the $100 all day ATV/Boat rental. There is not an ATV/Boat rental shop anywhere that will let you rent an ATV/Boat all day for just $100. Just imagine the amazing weekend you could have for around $200 in beautiful Montana. If you’re coming with a large group, I'd recommend getting the suite that sleeps over 15 and is equipped with everything you need.

           Along with these great room rates I'd also recommend you getting into the action with our amazing "Group Camps". For only a $100 you could join in on one of the many day adventurers that the M.R.E. will be offing. These day adventurers will have everything you will need to enjoy the day that we set up for you. The $500 group camp perk is good for anyone of our many camps that will last up to 5 days and doesn't include any of our supportive camps. These camps easily go for over a $1000 anywhere else. So, get started with your next adventure with the M.R.E. today through these early bird deals.

Thank you all for your contributions to help me start the M.R.E.

 If I Don't Reach My Goal 

          If I do not reach my set goal, no worries. I will get there one way or another. I am not a man that gives up on his dreams, nor one that watches them fade from failure. I will continue to find investors and continue working on the many projects that comes before a grand opening. Once I have the first M.R.E. established, there will be little to slow me down on opening many more of these soon to be well know hospitality establishments. 

 The Impact 

          The impact of the M.R.E. will be tremendous on strengthening any small-town local economy while offering refreshing R-and-R for hardworking Americans. It will assist those that are lost and thirsting to create a new life path with good values. The M.R.E. will have countless motivating stories, and I’m looking forward to contributing to every one of them. I’m looking forward to seeing the positive impact that my establishment will have and the ways it will strengthen the lives of the guests that visit. 

          Along with the positive impact on people's lives through our fun filled activities. The M.R.E. will impact those needing some mental and moral support. The group camps will be a big part of this establishment and I’ll be looking to have at least two a month. Some of these camps will be much more than just a good experience but will be inspirational to ones that struggle with addictions, PTSD, depression, guilt and tragedy.  

          The M.R.E. will have a big impact on people's lives by hosting Terminally Ill Retreats to help family’s come together towards the end of a loved one’s life journey. PTSD camps to help individuals work through and put to rest their traumatic thoughts. Help first responders, our true heroes at home, with their depression that comes from those horrific scenes that they are called to every day. Camps for our wounded soldiers that have sacrificed so much for the freedoms that we have.  McCallum’s Riverfront Estates will be much more than just the location of a hotel or a summer camp but will signify a new beginning for many.

 Risks & Challenges 

           Over the years of collaborating my ideas and putting solutions to obstacles, I have become very confident in succeeding with this dream of mine. It’s natural for every new business owner to have those feelings of fear from failure. I have overcame these feelings because I have done my research and looked into all aspects of how to truly make this establishment accomplish the feat of success. So, when asked what are my Risks and Challenges, there is only one… How am I going to keep the mind of my guests from thinking about their life of stress within the time they are visiting the M.R.E.
