Overview
Guest Home on horse ranch w/dir access to Forest Svc hiking trails & a hot tub
Our large & incredibly charming, fully self-contained 1000 private rural guest home retreat sits in the middle of 20 lush acres bordering US Forest Service land and is located just minutes from Lost Trail Ski area, rivers, fishing, lakes and hiking (guests can hike into the forest straight from the property). It has the rustic quintessential Montana vibe + 360 degree views of mountains, pine trees & horse pasture. It features a queen size log bed with a super comfy mattress, a queen size couch bed, futon (one adult or two children), Franklin style gas fireplace, full Kitchen (with spices, oil, herbs, organic coffee, sugar and honey), bathtub/shower with shampoo and conditioner and soap in a pump bottle, two couches, WIFI, skylights & HD TV as well as access to a 5-person hot tub on the main house back deck with views of the mountains and horses! And when the chickens are cooperating, we will supply organic eggs and Jansal Valley fruitwood smoked uncured, certified humane nitrate and antibiotic free bacon!
About Donna
Jim and I (Donna) have lived on our ranch in Darby, MT, for 12 years with our son Dean, now 17, and a multitude of critters; 8 horses, 4 (fenced) dogs, 2 cats, and 40 chickens. We enjoy horseback riding, skiing and riding bikes. Donna is a self-employed mortgage broker and Jim is a rancher, producer, arranger, and both work out of our home and are usually available.
Donna purchased this guest house in 2006
Why Donna chose Darby
After my dad moved to Montana in 1983, this valley became my ONLY vacation destination until we moved here in 2006. The Bitterroot Valley, Ravalli County, has the best climate and beauty that Montana has to offer, located in a "banana belt" situated in a valley with a river running through it surrounded by mountains. It is gorgeous here, and of course, backing to the forest service, we are visited by wildlife often and can ride our horses and hike endless miles of trails right off the property.
What makes this guest house unique
If we have help available, we can take our guests on a horseback ride! Please ask about availability for your desired dates
