About this property

The Sheep Camp on Willoughby - Seclusion with Authentic Western Charm

Take off your boots and sit a spell.... watch the cows and calves grazing just across the yard fence, listen to the coyotes yipping in the distance late at night, see deer and other wildlife wandering along the creek. The Sheep Camp is located smack dab in the middle of one of the most beautiful spots in the Bitterroot and it is Montana at its best.
A wrap around balcony surrounds the living area - from this vantage look down into the draw filled with cottonwood and Ponderosa pine trees and a small flowing creek. The beautiful Bitterroot mountain range towers on the western horizon.
The house is decorated with western art and furniture. The main floor has two bedrooms with queen sized beds and 1 and 1/2 baths. The large living room and kitchen are combined in an open concept with the fireplace in the living room adding a special western flair. The daylight basement has a large family room and 3 additional bedrooms (2 with queen sized beds and 1 with two twin beds) plus a full bathroom.
Grab your boots!! You are in for special western treat! I am sorry, pets are not allowed.

TOTAL RELAXATION
Our stay was phenomenal. We stayed for a retirement celebration with our children and grandkids. First, our hostess, Mary Jane, reminded us of days gone by with her warmth and kindness. The environment is fantastic. There is just something special about that place; warm, inviting and comfortable, like being in the most peaceful of places. Plenty of room for children to play in the big backyard while adults could enjoy time on the deck. No matter the time of day, the deck allowed comfortable seating out of the sun. Mornings were especially wonderful greeting the day with cool morning air, a view of the mountains and cattle grazing about. The house is beautiful and spacious. Make sure you read about the history of the house on the registration book, it is so very interesting. Everything has been thought of to make the stay comfortable. The beds, all queens in 4 of the 5 rooms were very comfortable...that is something very important to our old bones. Toys in the closet downstairs for the young ones and a selection of movies for the DVD player downstairs. Lastly, the location is perfect. Not far from the many activities in which you may want to participate, but also quiet and private. We flyfish and we didn't have far to travel to find a great fishing spot. Or if visiting local breweries is your thing, a 10 minute drive would get you there. We cannot say enough good things about this property. We were sad to leave the place but will carry the memories with us for years to come.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Jane Ross

Host profile image
My dad built the Sheep Camp in 1992 and named it after his childhood sheep ranch in eastern Montana where they raised hundreds of sheep during the early 1900s. Now there are no longer sheep, but it is a working cattle ranch. Don't be surprised - you may see a few cows on the road into the Sheep Camp!

Why they chose this property

The Bitterroot Valley has always had a special magic for me. I lived here when I was very young and as soon as I was able, I returned to the Bitterroot to raise my family because for me it is the best place ever. I hope you will love it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

Eeyore and Lucy are resident burros who originally came from a petting zoo. If you would like to meet them, they would be so happy to be fed some carrots...
