About This Home

Step off your expansive wrap-around deck and into the heart of Montana’s wild beauty. Perched on 1.24 acres overlooking the scenic West Fork of the Bitterroot River, this inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin offers the perfect basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. With direct access to US Forest Service land, you’ll have endless opportunities to explore the surrounding wilderness right from your backyard. Spend your days fly fishing in the West Fork or the blue-ribbon Bitterroot River, hiking countless nearby trails, or enjoying boating and water sports at Painted Rocks Reservoir—just minutes away. After a full day outdoors, unwind in the hot tub under a canopy of stars or curl up beside the warmth of a new woodstove inside the cozy, thoughtfully appointed cabin. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee while watching the sunrise or enjoying an evening drink as the sun dips behind the mountains, the wrap-around deck offers a front-row seat to nature’s daily show—and even more space to relax, entertain, or reflect. Just a short drive away, the historic Western town of Darby offers dining, shopping, and small-town charm—and has even gained recent fame thanks to its role in the hit TV show Yellowstone. Currently operating as a highly successful short-term rental, this property offers flexibility as a weekend escape, full-time residence, or income-generating investment. Whether you're seeking solitude, adventure, or a bit of both, this charming retreat puts you front and center in one of Montana’s most breathtaking landscapes. Your Montana adventure starts here.
