| NetDescriptions | A simple but quaint farm cottage was originally a Sears/Montgomery Ward catalog house from the early 1900s and was lovingly renovated in 2015. Every effort was made to honor the charm of this historic farmhouse while providing modern comfort, creating a welcoming, cozy, and homey ambiance. It is located on the property of the historic Bitter Root Stock Farm started by copper magnate, Marcus Daly, in 1886. The house is adjacent to fields and pasture. In addition, guests can easily walk to the adjacent historic Daly Mansion, one of the premier museums in Montana. A tour of this historic property will provide an understanding of the history of Marcus Daly and his beloved Bitter Root Stock Farm. This cottage is a cozy two-bedroom home that comfortably sleeps 4 and is the epitome of homey-ness, with a relaxing living room with a sofa and two recliners; a well equipped kitchen that has most cooking needs, a quaint small dining area, a completely renovated bathroom with a stall shower (no bathtub), a laundry/mudroom with washer/dryer; one bedroom with a queen bed, the other bedroom with two twin beds, all with high quality mattresses and bedding, that is professionally cleaned between guests. There is great wi-fi throughout the house, and a large flat screen TV with Roku access to Netflix (or also access your own streaming subscriptions with the Roku) and some TV stations in the living room, and a smaller flat screen TV in the queen bedroom with Roku access, as well as DVDs/DVD players. There is even a guitar for musically inclined guests, as well as a vintage style radio/CD/record player with Bluetooth, with a selection of CDs and records. However, you will not want to watch TV, as it is the views of the Sapphire range to the east and the Bitterroot Mountain range to the west that will keep you coming back. We also have two fenced corrals to accommodate horses upon prior approval and we welcome dogs (we do not accept cats) on a case-by-case, pre-approved basis (please see pet rules). There is a back deck with a BBQ grill and a small café table, a perfect spot to watch the pink light of sunrises coat the mountains as you sip your morning coffee, and maybe even spy a fawn nibbling on the apples from the tree right out off that porch. There are Adirondack chairs and a picnic table for sitting and dining out on the lawn under majestic cottonwood trees. There is a small front porch, warmly lit by café lights, to relax on with very comfortable patio furniture. This is the spot you will find yourself, staying cool under grand cottonwood trees while enjoying an evening drink and watching exquisite sunsets. This farmhouse is just off the Bitterroot Valley's scenic Eastside Highway, and within a five minute drive to the heart of downtown Hamilton. |
