Farmhouse Stay

The driveway was long and a little rough but the place was clean and well kept. We had some issues getting into the place but my host was able to get it corrected quickly.

Slice of heaven in the Bitterroot!

This old farmstead was exactly what we were needing for the weekend! The host was amazing and very accommodating. The location is amazing, very reminiscent of visiting grandma's house. Couldn't have asked for a better place. We will be back for certain!!

Wonderful Home

This was a wonderful home. We were greeted by our host who was cleaning up the yard after a storm which had just occurred. The home was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Fantastic time in Western Montana!

We recently concluded our stay at "The Old Farmstead" and found it fantastic. The quiet evenings, visiting White Tail deer every morning and Great Blue Herons were a relaxing change from our city life. Be sure to visit this retreat, you won't be disappointed.

Wish I could live in this home!

It was the cutest home! Loved the views and property. The recent updates were nicely done, and it was super spacious! It was the perfect place for bridesmaid and close friends to stay during my sisters wedding week. We had a little trouble/miscommunication with the lockbox/door code (it was updated at the property but not updated in the correspondence), but we figured it out. The next day we got locked out but the manager and owner were there to help us within minutes. Super friendly and quick to help! Highly recommend staying here! You’ll want to just sit outside and stare at the beauty that surrounds you - or cozy on up inside with a good book!

We will be back!

We needed a spot to stay that was near our aging parent’s place on N Birch Lane when we came up from Idaho to do some major property improvements. This place was pretty perfect! It is cute, clean, and super close for us to run back and forth. It had the exact number of comfy beds needed for our group - and those sheets are so soft! And the circular driveway was great for our large truck and dump trailer. And the highlight was seeing the two baby deer every morning! Our only complaint was that there is only one shower so we had to wait as we took turns cleaning up. I kind of missed that detail in the listing but even if I had noticed there was only one shower, I am positive we still would have stayed there. In fact, I am sure we will be staying there once a year when we come up to help out the parents.

September Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the farmhouse. The deer in the morning and nighttime was outstanding. The staples and supplies were above and beyond. It is an old farmhouse, so keep that in mind when you stay. Had and old smell kinda, and was creaky. But remember it was built in the early 1900's. Was close to my daughters house outside of Stevensville, made it very nice. Thank you for the opportunity to stay. Don and Carolyn Arne

About the host

Hosted by Julia Starrett

Host profile image
Julia Starrett is the property manger for this house.

Laurie Sutherlin is the home owner. She is a Montana native and respected member of the local community. She runs the farmlands (with her husband) that surround the home and lives full-time near by. Laurie has worked hard to restore his historic home and property.

Why they chose this property

The farmlands surrounding the home have been worked by the Sutherlin family for over ten years. They only acquired the home in 2020, when the previous family owners decided that the restoration project was to much to take on. Bringing back this home has been a labor of love and Laurie Sutherlin is happy to share its history with the visitors to the area.

What makes this property unique

Staying at the Old Farmstead allows for a unique opportunity to stay in a historic home. Updated with modern conveniences it is a relaxing property to come home to after a day of adventuring in the Bitterroot Valley. It is a very private and quiet setting with only the occasional farm equipment passing by during the day to remind visitors of the amazing farmlands that keep Montana a vibrant place to live.
