About this property

Ahhh, Montana! Peace & Quiet With Spectacular Views!

You'll be saying Ahhh, Montana! when you relax in the peace and quiet in this quaint, 600 sq. ft. cottage style house with spectacular views of the Bitterroot Mountains.

Nestled in a quiet location on 8 acres just off the valley floor we are not far from "Where Montana Began". Spend your days exploring all that western Montana has to offer then return to the peacefulness on our property to get refreshed for your next day's adventure.

Within minutes is the world-class trout fishing Bitterroot River, where you can fly fish from the public fishing access, launch your floating device or take a swim in the summer. Nearby are several hiking trails as is the 50 mile long Bitterroot Bike Trail. The area is rich with Native American, pioneer and Lewis & Clark history. Many local museums and state parks will guide you on your quest to learn more. We are 10 minutes from the 2800 acre Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge. Recreational opportunities are plentiful including hiking, walking, fishing, swimming, hunting, horseback riding, photography, astronomy, birding, skateboarding, biking, and much more! Wildlife viewing is all around and in summer you might even be lucky enough to watch a fawn or two nibbling on the grass outside the front door. The skies at night are spectacular and the sunsets are out of this world!

Our little house is comfortable and stylishly decorated. We offer you two bedrooms each with queen sized beds. The bathroom is just right with a large seated shower. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for you to enjoy your own home cooking. Dine at the breakfast bar while viewing the sunrise blazing across mountains as you plan your travels for the day. In the evening you can watch the sunset happen right in front of you. You'll find everything you need to help make your stay relaxing and comfortable. The living space has a reclining love seat, two leather club chairs, a 32" TV with local channels and a DVD player. You can plug your laptop into the TV, too, to watch Netflix or Prime. An electric fireplace in the corner offers the right ambiance for your peaceful stay. Wi-Fi is available.

The patio has seating for relaxing in the fresh Montana air. If you feel like it you can even BBQ on the grill.

We hope your stay is exactly what you want. You probably won't want to leave.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We found the cottage to be completely charming. The cottage was solid and cozy, beautifully decorated in a lovely setting with sweeping views. We enjoyed watching twin fawns playing in the front yard each evening. Everything needed to be comfortable and to make simple meals was right there. The location was out enough to be quiet while close in enough to easily go to town. We appreciate that our host took time to visit with us a bit and make sure that we had what we needed.

Conveniently located, this place was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The grounds are beautiful and loved sitting outside enjoying the views and watching the deer grazing. The hosts are onsite and very helpful. You have your own stand alone cabin and have plenty of space and privacy.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie and Doug Pelham

Host profile image
Doug and Laurie are high school sweethearts and will celebrate 48 years of marriage in 2023. Doug is a project manager for a local landscape company and Laurie works from home as a web site specialist.

We are serious photographers and we spend a great deal of time in the outdoors photographing wildlife and birds. There isn't a road in the Valley we haven't been on. We can help you decide where to go and what to do while you're here. And if you're thinking of relocating to the Bitterroot Valley, we have a great realtor we can recommend. Feel free to ask!

Why they chose this property

We landed in the Bitterroot Valley in 2007 after growing up and living in western Washington most of our lives. We kept gravitating to Montana every chance we got. The open spaces, climate, nice people, rich history and overwhelming beauty made it irresistible. We are so happy to call the Bitterroot Valley our home.

What makes this property unique

We chose to live here for the beauty, wildlife and the views. We spend as much time outdoors as possible. Our bucket list grows each year as there is so much to see with not enough time to fit it all in! But we try.
