Cozy place to stat
The Birdhouse was such a nice place to stay. We come to Montana every summer, with my parents. Everything was available for cooking at home. The hosts left very thoughtful guests. Wished we would have ate the elk that was left for us. We were in the area the fly fish the Bitterroot, and was within 45 minutes of some of the best fishing I’ve had in years. We’re all dog owners, and loved having theirs around to throw the frisbee. We heard such great things about the owners, unfortunately we didn’t get to meet them. Would definitely consider coming back there again next summer to stay. I’m a busy contractor in Hawaii, and was such a great place to disconnect from life’s daily stresses.

The Bird House exemplifies the passionately unique Vrbo experience. This is above and beyond what any hotel - or most vacation rentals can deliver. There is a thoughtfulness and focus on details that can not be copied by any chain. Not even the location. 5 miles out from the town of Florence and 20 or so from Missoula is a mountain retreat well worth the journey along the picturesque, winding unpaved roads. (Even those are smooth and well maintained!) Your well appointed deck overlooks beautiful mountains, fields, forest and a cozy fire pit area...and of course the birds visiting the grounds, bird houses and feeders. Inside, the decor is quality Mission-style furnishings in wood and leather with finer-than-museum-quality tableaus of native art and specimens of waterfowl and game birds - as well as other displays that you might find in a natural history museum. Even if bird taxidermy isn't your thing, you will appreciate the detail and artistry of these displays. The attention to detail at the Bird House goes well beyond the stunning displays and decor. Comfort, convenience and good old-fashioned thoughtfulness is everywhere. I've operated a 5-star rental for 6 years and know what it takes to deliver this level of convenience. The cupboards, coffee station and cooking areas are stocked with spices and more than basics. And it was done with pride – and a sense of kindness, hospitality experience and human decency. Bravo and thanks to these amazing fellow hosts!!!

Wonderful views and friendly hosts
We came to the area for my daughter’s wedding in Victor. We arrived Wednesday afternoon and despite the 4p check-in, we arrived a bit early and were warmly greeted by Tara and Lacy (dogs) and Eugene working in the yard. The unit is attached to the main house, but the hosts leave you alone unless you text them with a question. They answer quickly and directly. The house is adorned with many displays of Eugene’s work as a bird taxidermist, 2 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, full kitchen and a private back deck surrounded with several wild bird feeders and a hummingbird feeder. The views are captivating and it’s peacefully quiet. Would highly recommend this property for anyone who is looking for peace and quiet.

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.

The pictures you see are exactly what the property is. It was immaculately clean and the refrigerator was stocked with some homemade treats. The rooms are very spacious and well appointed. It was easy to find and wonderfully quiet.

Peaceful, relaxing getaway
This was our 2nd year staying at this property and we will be booking for next year. This is the best VRBO I have ever stayed at. Clean, comfortable, quiet and the hosts are exceptional. The property is one-of-a-kind... it offers beautiful views, chickens and dogs to enjoy and the opportunity to bird watch as the property hosts bird feeders just off the deck. The whole vibe of the property is welcoming, relaxing and makes me wish I could stay a whole week! Thanks again, Eugene and Carolyn.

Fantastic Property
Beautiful clean property. The hosts have thought of everything; beautifully decorated, well furnished, games, coffee, even a highchair. Welcome gifts of fresh eggs, ground meat, and wonderful jam was a nice surprise. The physical location may be too far for some but is worth the drive to have the beautiful quiet scenery. Sitting on the back patio watching the birds fly in and out while enjoying the quiet every evening was so nice. Everything was wonderful and worth the drive into Missoula every day. Would have loved to stay another night.

The road in was a precursor to the great and wonderful location, so lovely.The Birdhouse is the best VRBO experience we have ever had. Super clean, overstocked kitchen, awesome shower heads, comfy furniture. But the BEST was the sunrise from the porch! Loved all the taxidermy, they are true experts in this field, very tastefully decorated. The pups were so welcoming as well and such good dogs. Thank you so much!!!

Amazing property! We enjoyed our stay immensely. Great hosts and the rental had everything you would need. A special treat: we caught the Aurora. A bit of a drive but in Montana terms it’s not too far out. You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely best VRBO ever visited
Can’t say enough about the hosts, their rental or the location. By far our best Vrbo stay ! We had vehicle problems and the host offered to bring us food, offered to pick up repair parts for us in town, and even helped us fix it. They made such a point to welcome us and go out of their way for us during our visit. We 100% sincerely loved this place and cannot wait to go back.

I hesitate to say just how great this place is as it may become so popular that it won't be available the next time I want to stay here. We enjoyed the well appointed guest house, "The Birdhouse," with it's unique and interesting decor, the setting, and the exceptionally accommodating hosts. This VRBO is a great value. Had we known how great this place is, we would have made arrangements for a longer stay.
