Darby, Montana
Leave your stress behind and enjoy time spent with your family and/or friends in this 5 bedroom, spacious cabin. Easily accessible by all vehicles, this incredibly quiet and relaxing mountain escape is surrounded by Mother Nature’s brilliance, with regular visits from our “neighbors” such as elk, deer, moose, and a multitude of birds and chipmunks. This recently constructed 5-bedroom, 2-bath cabin sits on 20 acres surrounded by public Forest Service lands, with direct access to numerous activities. The cabin was built around the property’s original mining cabin, which now serves as one of the 5 themed guest rooms.
While the cabin is remote in nature, it is connected to the world with Starlink’s high-speed unlimited internet access (added Dec. 2021), allowing you to stream movies, make calls on your phone with WiFi calling, make video calls, check emails/texts, or even work remotely.
Activities are endless; horseshoes, bocce ball, folfing, lasso golf, swimming in the pond, fishing on the property, mountain biking, relax on any one of the 4 decks, soak in the 7 person hot tub, or even take a nap in one of the hammocks placed throughout the property. Enjoy the beauty that the surrounding Selway-Bitterroot Forest has to offer with day hikes to mountain lakes or fishing on the West Fork River. Visit one of a number of fire lookouts in the area for spectacular, endless views, or take day trips to visit places like Big Hole National Battlefield, Bannack Ghost Town, Historic Virginia City, or Lost Trail Ski Area. End your day by sitting next to a campfire, making smores, sharing stories of the day, and gazing up at the magnificent starry sky. Do any or all of these, or simply choose to do nothing at all.
The Town of Darby, which is located 40 minutes away, is where you will find the closest grocery store, restaurants, and other great stores to explore. The nearest airport is the Missoula International Airport located in Missoula just under 2 hours away.
We have stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the last 15 years and this was either the family favorite or the second favorite of all the houses we have stayed in. The house is nicely designed to allow family time and alone time. It was rainy and cold for much of our stay so we didn't take advantage of the pond and some of the games but we still had a very good time. We very well might come back in 2 or 3 years. We are hikers and there were trails for every level from the casual walker to the hard core mountaineer.
We had an absolute amazing time. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The pod and stream was a nice way to cool off. Scenery amazing!!!! We plan to make this place a family tradition.
This place was perfect for our family! Loved the water features, the unique bedrooms, and the fantastic hosts. We had a hard time leaving this home each day to attend a family reunion nearby, but loved coming back each evening. Thank You!
The house and surrounding area is wonderful. The only thing better were our hosts, Dawn and Jerry.
We had a wonderful stay at this delightful property. It is a hidden gem, tucked away in Montana. We loved the hot tub, the pond, walking trails, wildlife, and nearby Painted Rock State park for paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing. We saw elk, deer, chipmunks, buffalo, etc. The kitchen is so well stocked. We kept thinking there must be something they would be missing, but each time, we found what we needed. It was amazing. So green and beautiful. The beds were comfy along with the couches. So nice to have the wi-fi, lots of dining space, a lovely kitchen, etc. Hope to be back soon.
We had a wonderful week in the woods courtesy of this spacious cabin. The just-a-step-away forest access was perfect for our crew and the cabin was so well stocked with everything from baking supplies to blankets! Our only (minor) issue was some reactivity to the scented detergents/cleaning products, which had one of the group member's asthma acting up. From babies to adults to dogs, everyone still had a blast running around and exploring the area.
Second year we’ve stayed the same weekend and we had a blast. The property is amazing! Fun for large groups!
We had a great experience at this rental! Plenty of room, great hosts, and loved the big kitchen and hot tub!
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The communication was smooth and fast. The hosts were very accomodating and welcoming.
This was a awesome place, great location. Would definitely stay again. Plenty of space for family although it was just the two of us. Wildlife, night sky and solitude what more could you ask for.
We loved everything about the cabin, we especially enjoyed the hot tub and the little stream running in front of the cabin. Also getting to see elk and deer out the dining room window was great! Jerry and Dawn are the sweetest, thank you all for sharing your home. All if the kids picked their favorite themed bedroom to sleep in. ❤️
The owners are wonderful people and have thought of everything you could possibly need. The pond was fun and we all enjoyed it very much on these warm days with plenty of toys for the grandkids. The cabin is spacious, clean and well stocked. Hopefully, we can make it back next year.
Great place to enjoy nature and relax with family. We love coming to Montana and staying here!
This was our 3rd time visiting this property. Everything was great.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We had an absolute blast for my husband’s 40th birthday celebrations. This was our second time staying there and we can’t wait to come back and to stay again soon :-) thanks again!
