Hannon House is on the river, under the sky where fishing and outdoor fun come naturally. Hannon House is a 120+ year old farm house in the style of old rural Montana. The lifestyle reflects the character and unique location of this rare piece of history. If you are looking for a taste of old Montana, this is it.
This 2 bedroom cottage is located adjacent to the original farmhouse at the historic Hannon homestead on the Bitterroot River, three miles south of Darby, Montana. Settled in the late 1880’s, the farmhouse and grounds sit on the western edge of the Bitterroot River with over 1700 feet of river frontage. Structures on the property date from the 1880's to 1974 including hand hewn logs and milled lumber barns and out buildings. The main house was titled in 1900. This is the site of the area's original mercantile and post office. Bordered by the Bitterroot and Sapphire mountains, and situated on the Lewis and Clark trail (really, they walked through the front yard) the house sits in the shadow of Trapper Peak, the highest peak in the Bitterroot Range. The site is located at the confluence of the East fork, West fork and Main branch of the Bitterroot River. This is a taste of old Montana steps from one of the finest native trout streams in the west. This is a working farm including irrigated hay production and garden crops. Accommodations are clean and simple with an emphasis on fly fishing, watersports, hiking, hunting, skiing, open space and relaxation. Hot tub on the back deck under the stars! The site is hosted with the property owners residing on the premises. You are free to explore the grounds, fish the river, participate in activities or find the peace that solitude provides. We are 27 miles from Lost Trail Powder Mountain ski resort. Restaurants and shopping are located within 3 miles in the town of Darby.

Though our stay was short, the family had a great time with plenty to do. The accommodations were clean and well maintained. The host was great! We felt like we got a glimpse of heaven.
We were traveling on a family vacation and stayed here. The owners were awesome, friendly and great at communication. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed it very much. Wish we had more than a day. We will definitely be back!

Camping beneath Trapper Peak and Como Peak makes for the best setting in the valley
Friendly staff, cleanest lodging in our whole trip. Our only regret was that we missed the rodeo last night. Centrally located enough for access to all kinds of mountain access. Plan for a minimum of a week or there just won’t be enough time. Thank you Hannon House! We will miss you guys.

Thank you for the review Mo! It was a blessing to meet you and your beautiful family!
Main room is a bit tight to get around. The handle to the back door was broken so a bit difficult to get open going back and forth to the hot tub. There was some dog poo near the path to the hot tub so had to be aware of where you stepped. Other than that the stay was nice. Clean inside and cozy. Toni was very nice and was there to meet us. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to recharge.
We had a great time at this cute and cozy cabin. Jason and Toni are wonderful hosts and were very knowledgeable about the area and things to do during our stay. Thank y’all so much for your amazing hospitality during our stay.
We love Ravalli County. It is so beautiful! The cabin was clean, cozy and stocked with everything you might need, and the bed was super comfy.
The property sista right on the river and is stunning. It was great to return in the afternoon/evening and jump in the spa under the stars. The hosts were great and their restaurant right down the road, Knotty Nymph, was amazing! Steak and cocktails were spot on! We will definitely be back.
Me and my brothers got my dad a fishing charter on the Bitterroot for Father's day and booked the Westslope Cabin for my Parents and all us kids stayed in the Cutthroat Cabin. Toni and Jason are amazing hosts and their cabin's are well stocked and very comfortable. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Toni and Jason were great about being around and available any time we had a question and they were a wealth of information about the area. If you are there to explore the outdoors they can definitely point you in the right direction. I hope to make it back in the winter for some skiing.
We stayed in the Cutthroat cabin at Hannon House for a week. The cabin is small but cozy and stocked with everything you would need and then some. We spent most of our time on the covered deck, perfect for relaxing after fishing or watching deer grazing in the grass. Toni and Jason were the perfect hosts. Very friendly and always asking if there’s anything we needed. Jason even brought us fresh cut lettuce and an onion from their garden. If you’re looking for a very relaxing and rewarding stay in the Darby, MT area make sure to place the Cutthroat Cabin @ Hannon House first on your list of places to stay.
From the welcome sign to the first impression, this property is all it should be and more. Cutthroat cabin had everything we needed and more. Very clean and comfy. Plenty of nature on the property and right next to the river. Thank you Toni and Jason for a great experience.
My husband and I had a short but quiet and relaxing stay. Cabin was advertised accurately and had everything needed. Toni was super responsive when texted questions. Jason shared fly fishing info for wade-fishing and boating on the Bitterroot. Thanks for the accommodations. Great place to stay!
Toni and Jason were awesome hosts. From the moment we parked until we left, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The camp fire at the end of the evening was a great way to finish off our stay! The cabin was clean, nicely equipped and super comfy. I highly recommend Hannon House Cutthroat Cabin!

Thank you so much for staying with us! It was wonderful meeting all of you and we hope you make it back to our little valley soon!
Great location with the river right on the property for fishing or just enjoying the outdoors. Also centrally located to all sorts of activities within the valley.
Stayed with my two fly fishing adult daughters. Absolutely perfect in every way. Managers, Toni and Jason, are two of the nicest people I have ever met. They are available at all times if you need them, but also respect your privacy if you want it. We really didn't because we enjoyed talking with them so much. The girls caught a good number of native Westslope Cutthroat trout in the Bitterroot River which runs through the property. Thinking of returning next month, but definitely next year. Just love the place!!!!! Almost forgot, there is also free entertainment provided by two adorable miniature Australian Shepherds - Eddy and Stormy.
