Absolutely perfect place to stay. Close enough to town yet far enough off the road to be completely quiet.

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.

Slice of heaven in the Bitterroot!

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!!

Wonderful Home

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.

Fantastic time in Western Montana!

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.

Peace and serenity in the valley

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!

About the host

Hosted by Julia Starrett

Host profile image
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.
