We felt like we were truly having the Montana experience. The house was very comfortable with abundant linens and supplies. There was a sense of freedom and inclusion from the owners. We'd like to return to The Bird House.

Very nice house an accommodating for us. Bedrooms were large enough. And living room inviting. Kutcher was supplied well. The deck was our favorite, we loved watching the birds. Watching a bee fight for ownership of the hummingbird feeded with a persistent hummingbird was a delight.

Tranquil and comfortable

This is the most comfortable VRBO experience we have had. The beds, the size of the home, the private back porch, the AC…the host was also so helpful with info on local hikes and events. It was a perfect jumping off point to explore the Bitterroot Valley. We wound up extending our stay because we just weren’t ready to leave! Highly recommend.

5 Star Comfort

The Birdhouse is such a comfortable and relaxing place. The beds are great, living room is so inviting, kitchen is well stocked (even with fresh eggs), and the deck is such a joy for watching birds and taking in the beautiful surroundings. Eugene was quick to answer any questions and easy to connect with. And if that wasn't enough, we loved time our with the sweet dogs, Lacey and Tana. We highly recommend a stay here and hope to return.

Amazing Montana Oasis

My 87yo mother and I were looking for a place in the mountains and the Bird House delivered. Quiet and secluded but only 15mins from Florence it was a wonderful mix of dirty roads and nearby amenities like the Back Yard Taphouse. Dealing with the homeowners and their family was an easy text with quick response. We enjoyed exploring the chicken coop and tree house on the property. The house is well stocked with all the necessities in the kitchen and bathroom. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t provided. We loved our stay. As a note, as non-hunters, it took a minute to get used to the number and size of the taxidermy birds. They are clearly works of art and the kids enjoyed researching to determine the species on display.

Magical

Our stay at the Birdhouse was magical. The home is beautiful, cozy and extremely comfortable, with magnificent views, a spacious kitchen, and beautiful displays of our host's taxidermied birds that we loved looking at. The covered deck is spacious and perfect for grilling and a pleasant evening outdoors. We saw tons of birds visiting the feeders arrayed outside. Our son loved playing with Eugene's friendly and spirited dogs and looked forward to visiting the chicken coop every day. Our hosts were warm and gracious and welcomed us to wander the grounds. We could not have asked for a better place to stay during our visit to the Bitterroots.

Great location for getting away!

The hosts were friendly and accommodating, the vacation home was furnished nicely and well equipped, and the drive to the property was very scenic. One of the reasons we stayed here was so we could go on some day hikes in the Bitterroot Mountains, and we were able to drive to a couple different trail heads in 30 to 45 minutes.
