Our stay at this quality home was wonderful. Owners were nice enough to let us host a small baby shower out of house for a couple of hours and it was just the perfect place for that.
The home is well constructed with space and VIEWS. It was stocked with everything we needed. Even though you felt you were in the country we were six minutes from grocery, restaurants, and entertainment.
Would love to come back in the summer and use the beautiful fire out!!
This was our first time in the Bitterroot Valley. We loved the area, and the Runnin’ Bear Ranch was awesome. The place was centrally located in the valley making getting to other places only a short drive, but was also off the beaten path providing some solitude. The house was very clean and very well equipped. It was like being at home. The owners were also very accommodating. I asked if they had a coffee grinder and she said one would be on the counter when I got there, and it was. We stayed for 11 days and would like to have stayed longer. We will definitely be going back!!
We had a wonderful stay for our Aunt/Cousin reunion! The home was lovely and clean with every amenity we could have wanted or needed. Carl, the cat, was a favorite nightly visitor, the view from the patio was perfect for morning coffee or evening beverages, and the hosts were super friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again!
What an amazing property. Perfect for our trip home to visit family. Close to town yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. Doug and Janice are super hosts. This one is definitely one for the favorites list.
What a lovely home and fabulous setting! We enjoyed every moment we were there. Hope to be back again soon!
