The Cottage is a sweet retreat in the foothills of the Bitterroot Mountains, 2 miles outside of Hamilton, Montana. We are a family of four living the good life on our small hobby farm. The Cottage is our vacation rental nestled into the center of our 5 acre property. Complete with it's own driveway and nicely fenced off from the rest of the busy goings on of the barnyard, it is separate from our space, but animal sights and sounds are sometimes a part of the experience. The space Sorry, but no cats allowed due to severe allergies. The Cottage is the newest lease on life for what was once an old bunkhouse behind our historic 1895 Victorian Farmhouse. Two beautiful miles outside of Hamilton Mt. We have completely gutted and remodeled the bunkhouse (including a brand new heated slab floor), reinventing it as a charming 850 sq/ft house. The Cottage has a full kitchen and bathroom, including washer and dryer, and is fully functional, comfortable, and ready for guests. On the ground floor is the master bedroom with a comfortable Queen bed. Upstairs in the loft are an additional three twin beds. The only access to the loft is by ladder; there are no stairs to the upstairs beds. The Cottage is tucked in behind our house, accessed by it's own driveway. There are no windows on the side of The Cottage that faces our house, while the sides that look out onto our peaceful pasturage are nearly entirely window - so the feeling is of seclusion and privacy. A small privacy fenced yard completes the cozy retreat theme. The Cottage is separated and well fenced off from the sometimes busy goings on of the barnyard (a recent downsizing has left only chickens and dogs), but at certain times of the day, animal sounds might be heard from the patio and yard area and perhaps even from inside of the cottage. It is typical for a rooster to announce the rising of the sun in the mornings. We have one distant neighbor - the only part of his house that can be seen from The Cottage is an upstairs attic window. Flexible (when possible) check-in and check-out times. Guest access Cottage guests enjoy their own driveway and parking spot, with a private, fenced side yard. Other things to note No cats allowed; due to allergies. Let us know if you have a dog or two - we work hard to accommodate canine guests who can respect the free range chickens and fences.
