Extremely clean, pristine and peaceful. I loved how the cabin was surrounded by brush and Aspen trees to allow privacy. Best of all was the rocking chairs on the front porch to relax and look out upon beauty and the serenity of God's country.
An amazing rural setting with easy access to all areas of the lower Bitterroot Valley. Wildlife right out the door, sunning views and sunrise/sunsets. Full amenities in the cabins along with hot tub. Easy drive from Missoula airport as well.
Beautiful cabin and grounds for a short stay in Darby. Everything was great, accurate as advertised and super clean. Property manager was responsive and flexible to adjust my stay dates last minute. Great experience!
This cabin was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. The setting was just gorgeous, & the interior was beautifully decorated, luxurious, & very clean. I really don’t see how it could have been any better….we can’t wait to go back!!
We stayed at Aspen cabin for only one night, but we regret not staying longer! The cabin was so comfortable and we had everything we needed to relax, cook a meal in the kitchen, and have a fun stay. The location offered a lot of privacy and the property is beautiful. Thank you so much! We hope to stay again!

Hosted by Mike Nelson
I am interested in the history of the Bitterroot Valley, particularly the Lewis and Clark Trail as well as the Trail of the Nez Perce.
Why they chose this property
Rye Creek is a very private, quiet property. You will feel as if you are staying in a log cabin in the middle of the wilderness though we are only a mile off of a paved road. Aspen Cabin is exceptionally well appointed. You are not roughing it here....
What makes this property unique
In a word, Wildlife. We have resident herds of elk and deer that call Rye Creek home. All of the activities that you would expect to find in Montana are available. White water rafting, fishing, hiking, ATV rides, Snowmobile rides, etc.
