The covered deck is spacious and perfect for grilling and a pleasant evening outdoors. We saw tons of birds visiting the feeders arrayed outside.

This is the best VRBO I have ever stayed at. Clean, comfortable, quiet and the hosts are exceptional. The property is one-of-a-kind... it offers beautiful views, chickens and dogs to enjoy and the opportunity to bird watch as the property hosts bird feeders just off the deck. The whole vibe of the property is welcoming, relaxing and makes me wish I could stay a whole week! Thanks again, Eugene and Carolyn. ##### Dave-Vickey S.

The hosts have thought of everything; beautifully decorated, well furnished, games, coffee, even a highchair. Welcome gifts of fresh eggs, ground meat, and wonderful jam was a nice surprise. The physical location may be too far for some but is worth the drive to have the beautiful quiet scenery. Sitting on the back patio watching the birds fly in and out while enjoying the quiet every evening was so nice. Everything was wonderful and worth the drive into Missoula every day. Would have loved to stay another night. ##### Lara D. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon B.

We come to Montana every summer, with my parents. Everything was available for cooking at home. The hosts left very thoughtful guests. Wished we would have ate the elk that was left for us. We were in the area the fly fish the Bitterroot, and was within 45 minutes of some of the best fishing I’ve had in years. We’re all dog owners, and loved having theirs around to throw the frisbee. We heard such great things about the owners, unfortunately we didn’t get to meet them. Would definitely consider coming back there again next summer to stay. I’m a busy contractor in Hawaii, and was such a great place to disconnect from life’s daily stresses. ##### Brandon B. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth E. Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful views and friendly hosts We came to the area for my daughter’s wedding in Victor. We arrived Wednesday afternoon and despite the 4p check-in, we arrived a bit early and were warmly greeted by Tara and Lacy (dogs) and Eugene working in the yard. The unit is attached to the main house, but the hosts leave you alone unless you text them with a question. They answer quickly and directly. The house is adorned with many displays of Eugene’s work as a bird taxidermist, 2 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, full kitchen and a private back deck surrounded with several wild bird feeders and a hummingbird feeder. The views are captivating and it’s peacefully quiet. Would highly recommend this property for anyone who is looking for peace and quiet. ##### Elizabeth E. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The Bird House exemplifies the passionately unique Vrbo experience. This is above and beyond what any hotel - or most vacation rentals can deliver. There is a thoughtfulness and focus on details that can not be copied by any chain. Not even the location. 5 miles out from the town of Florence and 20 or so from Missoula is a mountain retreat well worth the journey along the picturesque, winding unpaved roads. (Even those are smooth and well maintained!) Your well appointed deck overlooks beautiful mountains, fields, forest and a cozy fire pit area...and of course the birds visiting the grounds, bird houses and feeders. Inside, the decor is quality Mission-style furnishings in wood and leather with finer-than-museum-quality tableaus of native art and specimens of waterfowl and game birds - as well as other displays that you might find in a natural history museum. Even if bird taxidermy isn't your thing, you will appreciate the detail and artistry of these displays. The attention to detail at the Bird House goes well beyond the stunning displays and decor. Comfort, convenience and good old-fashioned thoughtfulness is everywhere. I've operated a 5-star rental for 6 years and know what it takes to deliver this level of convenience. The cupboards, coffee station and cooking areas are stocked with spices and more than basics. And it was done with pride – and a sense of kindness, hospitality experience and human decency. Bravo and thanks to these amazing fellow hosts!!! ##### Jordan Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patti S.

The setting is beautiful. We plan to go back again. ##### Patti S.
