The Bitterroot Retreat was a very impressive home. Spacious, well equipped, clean and an excellent location overlooking the Bitterroot River. It was the perfect place for my siblings and I for our annual gathering. Renae was a gracious host and great communicator. We would love to return to this amazing home. Thank you, Renae and Bo, for making your home available for us to enjoy!

The property was absolutely stunning. Our family had an incredible experience and so much fun. Made some amazing new memories that we will never forget. The house was gorgeous inside and out. Sunsets, the porch, fire pit, wildlife and how close to the river it was, was unreal. Access to Hamilton/Darby very easy to navigate our way around. The whole family had such a wonderful time. The view was incredible and something you just cannot beat. We are so grateful for the opportunity to share your house with us and we hope to eventually return someday. (And catch fish like Bo does!) ;) Thank you Bo & Renea for everything.

This has the potential to be a nice little place to stay, but our stay was not good. There were several issues we experienced:1. On the check in day, I never received any communication from the host to provide the door code and the booking said check in was 2pm but host stated it was 4pm which was an issue because we got there at 3pm but she was finishing up when we pulled up. 2. The door did not lock and we couldn’t leave so she had to come back and change the battery. 3. There was a dirty pot sitting in the sink full of dirty water and the faucet was hanging down almost in the pot and did not retract so it seemed broken. 4. There were absolutely NO eating utensils, not 1 fork, spoon or even a butter knife in the entire kitchen. There was 1 old steak knife just thrown in an empty drawer and all of the drawers were empty except 1 that had miscellaneous stuff in it. 5. There is a dishwasher but is not hooked up and doesn’t work. 6. We were provided wash cloths and towels but there were no hand towels to dry our hands and no foot towel in the bathroom. 7. The WORST issue is the tub was clogged so both of us had to shower as the dirty water gathered and covered our feet as we tried to wash which was disgusting.
This is a picture of the dirty pot in sink and the broken faucet hanging down.
This is the clogged tub. This should be been noticed when they cleaned the tub because it had to be clogged then which was less than 24 hours later.

Beautiful cabin on the river

The property is beautiful and well maintained. Check in was super easy and the house was very clean. The kids loved the pool table downstairs. The river access is so nice. The kids were able to fish and catch crawdads. We also floated down the river! So fun! The kitchen is well stocked and the you have a choice of a green egg or propane grill. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and can’t wait to return.

Absolutely wonderful home and location

This was the most wonderful home and made it a vacation that we will remember for a long time to come. The home is exactly as the pictures depict, spacious, well decorated, spacious and lots of amenities. The location was amazing and we spent hours sitting on the back porch, into the late night, listening to the rippling river. Would come back again without hesitation!

Bliss on the Bitterroot

This property was all we could have asked for and more. Having the river run right behind the house and mountains as the backdrop was so beautiful. This is a perfect house to fit a big family or a retreat with some of your closest friends. The property manager was kind and very responsive to any questions we had. All week people were complimenting the place and just enjoying all it had to offer. Every night was spent on the back porch watching the sunset and enjoying the views. The house had plenty of linens, storage and 360 views. We are not from the area but would return to this vrbo in a heartbeat if our paths ever cross again. Thank you to the property managers for such a great stay!

Amazing Home

What a gorgeous home right on the bitterroot river. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. There is so much space to enjoy a large family gathering with lots of places to escape to if you need some quiet time! The beds are super comfy as well. We were here for my daughter's wedding, and it was so relaxing to sit on the porch watching the river flow - a great way to relieve the stresses of a wedding! We were lucky enough to see elk crossing the river right next to the house our first morning (such a treat) as well as bald eagles and many deer sightings. Thank you Renae for such an amazing home and trip!

Wow!

What an amazing home for our vacation! We had a large group of family, ages 2-72, and there was room for all! The log home had an abundance of space so that we could all congregate together or hang out in separate areas. We took advantage of all the area had to offer that we could in our time frame, from relaxation float trips, fly fishing float trips, fishing right outside the home, horse back riding, wildlife viewing, Glacier National Park, and a quick trip to Darby to fawn over the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. Do not hesitate to book this home, it is well worth it!

Amazing spot on the river

We loved the location, on the banks of the Bitterroot river, looking west to the Bitterroot mtns. Watching spectacular sunsets; drift boats floating by; even a beaver wondering through the back yard. Everyone was impressed with the design and layout of the house. The house was large enough and comfortable for our group. Though we did have some minor confusion with check-in instructions, WiFi connection, thermostats, and some appliances not operating properly (ie ceiling & bathroom fans, downstairs vacuum, water filter & central air system filter needing replacement). These ended up being minor annoyances but for the price, we wouldn't have expected to run into these kinds of issues. We would consider returning to this property, if more attention is given to the maintenance and condition of the amenities.

This was our second time staying at the Bitterroot Retreat house and we had another fantastic time! The sunsets each night while sitting on the back deck were amazing! The fishing was great and we saw lots of wildlife (there's a mother moose and her calf near the park in downtown Hamilton). Lots of great hikes nearby too. The house was again awesome!

Absolutely gorgeous home on the river. Sunsets from the deck were spectacular. The house provided everything family needed for gathering as well as enough room for “alone time.” Renae was more than helpful and responded quickly to any messages. I can’t think of a better place to stay, and will recommend this VRBO to anyone I know seeking the best of a Montana experience.
