Quiet, serene, peaceful, beautiful, comfortable, well-stocked, great communication from hosts, and I could go on and on about how much we loved this location! I would definitely stay here again as it's one of the best places!
We loved the entire stay - from booking to check in, to the stay, to the check out. The host, properly manager and care taker were great. Beautiful old farmhouse. They allowed us to walk around the property. We made a campfire. We made smores. It was a wonderful stay.
The driveway was long and a little rough but the place was clean and well kept. We had some issues getting into the place but my host was able to get it corrected quickly.
Loved our stay in this lovely farmhouse in a prime Bitterroot Valley location. Peaceful, private and serene and perfect as a home base and a place to hang out and relax. Hope to come back again and again!
We had a wonderful time staying at this vrbo while attending our son’s wedding nearby. The property is beautiful, the house is clean and quiet. Would stay there again!
3 time staying here - always a great experience! Exceptional property with plenty of room to roam and explore- lots of deer and wildlife - very quiet/private setting.
This old farmstead was exactly what we were needing for the weekend! The host was amazing and very accommodating. The location is amazing, very reminiscent of visiting grandma's house. Couldn't have asked for a better place. We will be back for certain!!
This was a wonderful home. We were greeted by our host who was cleaning up the yard after a storm which had just occurred. The home was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. We wish we could have stayed longer.
We all really enjoyed our stay at the farmstead. It was really nice to be in a secluded area. The views are spectacular and we got to experience the local wildlife. The house was very comfortable and the amenities made it even better. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
For anyone wanting an immersion into the beauty of Montana, this is so perfect. The house is an old farmhouse beautifully maintained. The light inside is so peaceful and inviting. The grounds are just gorgeous. This was everything we wanted it to be.
We recently concluded our stay at "The Old Farmstead" and found it fantastic. The quiet evenings, visiting White Tail deer every morning and Great Blue Herons were a relaxing change from our city life. Be sure to visit this retreat, you won't be disappointed.
5 of us stayed in this beautiful home as our good friend was getting married nearby. The place was perfect, exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of rooms and beds, beautiful kitchen with everything you might need, and a gorgeous yard to enjoy. Thank you for letting us stay in this beautiful place.
Staying at this house was like going back in time to Grandma and Grandpa's farm house where life was slow and simple! The home was cozy, clean and offered something for everyone with the well-designed outside spaces! Thank you for a great family vacation!
We loved our week in Stevie, visiting friends, fishing, seeing the Daly Mansion, and even mining for sapphires in a nearby mine! The Rhodes homestead is in the heart of it all but peaceful and quite and a charming home. Our family of five from early teens to grandma were easily accommodated and the home is clean and lovely. Will definitely stay here again!
Beautiful stay. Clean, comfortable country setting. You can see what a labor of love the grounds are. Sunrises and sunsets were stunning. Wildlife around every corner. Hoping to make this stay again next season ❤️
We booked this as a venue for our weekend wedding. The weekend was beautiful. Property was clean and ready to go. So easy to set up and a beautiful space. Clean up was easy and simple post wedding so we didn't need to stress too much! Would definitely recommend.
It was the cutest home! Loved the views and property. The recent updates were nicely done, and it was super spacious! It was the perfect place for bridesmaid and close friends to stay during my sisters wedding week. We had a little trouble/miscommunication with the lockbox/door code (it was updated at the property but not updated in the correspondence), but we figured it out. The next day we got locked out but the manager and owner were there to help us within minutes. Super friendly and quick to help!
Highly recommend staying here! You’ll want to just sit outside and stare at the beauty that surrounds you - or cozy on up inside with a good book!

About the host
Hosted by Julia Starrett
Julia Starrett is the property manger for this house.
Laurie Sutherlin is the home owner. She is a Montana native and respected member of the local community. She runs the farmlands (with her husband) that surround the home and lives full-time near by. Laurie has worked hard to restore his historic home and property.
Why they chose this property
The farmlands surrounding the home have been worked by the Sutherlin family for over ten years. They only acquired the home in 2020, when the previous family owners decided that the restoration project was to much to take on. Bringing back this home has been a labor of love and Laurie Sutherlin is happy to share its history with the visitors to the area.
What makes this property unique
Staying at the Old Farmstead allows for a unique opportunity to stay in a historic home. Updated with modern conveniences it is a relaxing property to come home to after a day of adventuring in the Bitterroot Valley. It is a very private and quiet setting with only the occasional farm equipment passing by during the day to remind visitors of the amazing farmlands that keep Montana a vibrant place to live.
