We had a wonderful time, house was beautiful as were the surroundings. We skied and hiked and did some shopping. Thank you for sharing your home! We especially loved the hot tub under the stars!!
Cabin was perfect…very nice, cozy, and everything we needed to enjoy a Christmas getaway. Amazing hot tub and the views are unbeatable. Highly recommend.
After a whirlwind trip through the Bitterroot, we settled in to the Harlan Cabin to finish celebrating our 25th. This spot was perfect! Cozy, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The cabin was well stocked and the BBQ worked wonderfully. We ran into the hosts upon check in and they made us feel welcome. Then there’s the views. The pictures don’t do them justice. We can’t wait to make this a tradition.
This property was even more breathtaking in person. Jani and John were incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to make sure my family had a wonderful time on their property. The cabin was clean, cozy and the views were to die for. Memories to last a lifetime. We will be back!
This property has the best views from all the listings we saw on VRBO. The property was quiet, clean and the hosts were amazing! We celebrated our engagement and unfortunately had to leave the property due to a bad windstorm that knocked the power out. The hosts were kind enough to make other arrangements for us and we couldn’t thank them enough. I can’t say it enough, but this property is amazing and the pictures don’t do it justice. We can’t wait to stay here again!
We stayed for our 25th anniversary!! PERFECT location and amazing views!! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. Everything was well stocked and well maintained and communication with the owner was great!! 100% recommend!
This was our second time staying at this beautiful cabin and we loved it even more! The location of this property is exactly what we wanted and the cabin itself is so beautifully appointed and of course exceptionally clean!
We enjoyed the variety of abundant wildlife and the peace and quiet this place affords.
We met the hosts John and Jani which just added to the wonderful experience here. Very friendly and accomodating. We were even treated to a horse drawn wagon ride which was so much fun!
Before heading home we had already decided we are coming back next year and are very much looking forward to it!!
This was truly a relaxing vacation and the perfect place to hit the reset button!!
If I could rate this cabin 10 stars I most certainly would!!!
This was our second trip to the Harlan Cabin since we loved the first stay so much. The cabin was just as lovely as we remembered. Everything was immaculate and the hosts (Johnny and Jani) were incredibly attentive when we had questions or needed things. Lastly, the view was unmatched, and it was great being able to hike right on the property. I would love to visit again!
The best VRBO cabin we have ever rented. First the property is absolutely gorgeous. It is located overlooking a mountain range which makes for beautiful sunrise/sunset views and anytime of day views! The cabin is well laid out, stocked with all necessities, exceptionally clean and the bed downstairs is super comfortable. Did not use upstairs bed. Hot tub overlooks the mtns and is very clean and relaxing. The peace and serenity found in this property is overwhelming in a good way. Chose to cook our meals here just to be here. Sat on by porch and in hot tub until dark every evening. Lots of entertainment in the form of cows, quail,deer,rabbits and chipmunks. Very scenic day trips in the area and the town of Darby is adorable. The care this family puts into this property is obvious! And they were wonderful hosts. I hope to return soon!
This is our second anniversary trip in consecutive years at this beautiful and peaceful rental. The cabin is very clean, well-organized, has everything you'd need for cooking your own meals, a Weber BBQ, a jacuzzi tub, comfortable beds and pillows, and spectacular mountain and territorial views with plenty of visits from wildlife. Thank you, again - we look forward to coming back next year!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here (repeat customers says something). The cabin is clean, cozy, well stocked, situated perfectly for great views of the Bitterroot Mountains and Valley. Jani and John are excellent hosts, never out of touch and always thoughtful of our needs. Hamilton is 20min away for shopping and restaurants. This is certainly our favorite place to stay when visiting Montana.
The listing does not do this cabin and spot justice. The views are million dollar views in every direction. If you visit Darby/Hamilton MT area you have to stay here. We will definitely be back.
My husband and I didn’t have time to go on a honeymoon after our wedding so decided to make the most of a first anniversary trip instead. We could not have found a better place to spend the week. The photos don’t do this property justice! The views are outstanding. The mountains, the stars, the wildlife! The cabin is the perfect place to relax and take in the Montana air. Jani and John were great to communicate with. We can’t say enough about this cabin! Can’t wait to return!
It was too brief a stay for such an amazing location. Hoping will have the opportunity to stay again for longer! Cabin views are second to none. Absolutely beautiful!

About the host
Hosted by John and Jani Meuchel
The Bitterroot Valley has been our home forever. We take great pride in this property and participated in the construction from the beginning.
Why they chose this property
The cabin was built on my childhood family ranch with lots of memories of cattle ranching and beautiful horseback riding.
What makes this property unique
The view of the mountains to the West is breathtaking from the hot tub and there is nothing like watching the sun go down from the swing on the front porch.
