Great location for getting away!

The hosts were friendly and accommodating, the vacation home was furnished nicely and well equipped, and the drive to the property was very scenic. One of the reasons we stayed here was so we could go on some day hikes in the Bitterroot Mountains, and we were able to drive to a couple different trail heads in 30 to 45 minutes.

Tranquil and comfortable

This is the most comfortable VRBO experience we have had. The beds, the size of the home, the private back porch, the AC…the host was also so helpful with info on local hikes and events. It was a perfect jumping off point to explore the Bitterroot Valley. We wound up extending our stay because we just weren’t ready to leave! Highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay

The Birdhouse is a wonderful home away from home. Eugene and Carolyn are so hospitable and make one feel welcomed, yet allow plenty of privacy. We would recommend this VRBO to all and definitely stay again. I can’t say enough good things about it!

Very nice house an accommodating for us. Bedrooms were large enough. And living room inviting. Kutcher was supplied well. The deck was our favorite, we loved watching the birds. Watching a bee fight for ownership of the hummingbird feeded with a persistent hummingbird was a delight.

Fantastic! The BirdHouse is Incredible! There are places where you arrive and walk in and it is nice, then once in a while there are places where you walk in and sigh and feel "I am home" The host have thought of everything with a few little very nice surprises. Next time I should be so lucky!
