Great stay - we’d definitely come back

This was such a cozy, comfortable place - it had everything we needed, a comfortable bed, lovely views, great location, kind and responsive hosts. My husband, our dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay (and the fenced back area for the dogs was such a great touch).

Great place to stay in the Bitterroot valley

This is a great place to stay in Darby! The space was very comfortable and the extra cooking appliances provided (slow cooker, rice cooker) were very convenient. The hosts were lovely, helpful and communicated well. Our pups enjoyed the fenced in yard. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect stay!

We loved our week at Pinecone Ridge! Great views of the mountains and frequent visits from deer and turkeys! The place was clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable and the rental had all the comforts of home. We will definitely stay again if we are in the Darby area!

Delightful place and hosts!

We loved the property, apartment, and 2 decks to enjoy the weather and wildlife antics. The fenced yard for our dog was a huge plus. It is a lovely, private, quiet spot with a great walk into town. Our hosts made huge efforts to be accommodating and their care and thoughtfulness shows on all of the property. Highly recommend!

Wonderful

We love to stay here when we come to visit our son. This is the second time. Jean and Bob are wonderful hosts. We saw 21 deer driving back from our son's house. The view is beautiful. Nice and quiet and relaxing.

Cozy, comfortable getaway

Jean and Bob are amazing hosts. The apartment is cozy, clean and very comfortable. The driveway can be daunting in winter but is definitely doable with 4 or all wheel drive vehicles. In summer you can drive right up to the back door, in winter there are inside steps from below. Bob is very responsive to suggestions and when we mentioned a rail for the stairs we had one the very next day! We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this to anyone interested in an enjoyable respite in the mountains.

Terrific Stay

I use VRBO a lot and I can honestly this property is my new favorite. Perfect for couples looking for a clean property nestled in the Bitterroot Valley. Short walk to the village of Darby which was also nice. Owners were super responsive and genuinely interested in us having a high quality stay….which we did!!!! I’ll be back! Thanks

Amazing hosts and amazing place! Like a retreat!

Jean and Bob are the best people ever! They are genuine, kind, and the most giving souls we have met. We stayed for a month in July. Jean and Bob both welcomed us upon arrival. Jean made sure I was all connected to the internet at 9pm the night I arrived since I worked part of the time I was staying and had to work the next morning. The refrigerator was stocked with some drinks and healthy snacks to get started for the night and next day! Jean and Bob are very knowledgeable about the area and can tell you about hikes, float trips, where to find huckleberries, what restaurants to eat at, where to shop for specialty groceries (vegan items), and gems of places to visit. My husband arrived later and Bob graciously offered to drive 70 miles each way to pick him up at the airport in Missoula. Bob also taught me how to change the oil on my car before departing for the 4 day drive home. If you love old cars, you must get to know Bob! Jean is the best cook ever. We were invited for the 4th of July potluck with the neighborhood and two dinners. We loved and enjoyed every second. If you are staying long enough, take a pottery class with Jean. Her sgraffito work is amazing. We made 3 plates with her guidance and wish we could bring her home with us to teach and learn more. Their dogs are adorable and super friendly. Bob even pet sat for us while we went to Glacier National Park for 4 days and he did a fabulous job with our dog and 6 birds who stayed at the apartment. Aside from Jean and Bob being the most amazing hosts and people ever, their place was outstanding. The king bed was cozy and comfortable. There is a couch bed with a comfortable topper for 1 extra person. The AC was a blessing in the heat wave. The porch was like a retreat every morning just looking over the mountains. The doggie door which could fit up to a 75 pound dog with the small ramp was so helpful for our 12 hour outings. There is no large oven but the Oster oven allowed use to make cookies, pizza, huckleberry bread, and all kinds of other goodies. The Nuwave cooktop plate was awesome for making soups and spaghetti. The kitchen is stocked with every gadget you would think of even tupperware for the leftovers. All the chairs were cozy. The decoration was spot on and well thought out. Lots of bathroom space with extra towels and bedding items. And, if you needed something you could not find, Jean or Bob had it to borrow! The internet access was never an issue (excellent!).

Had a wonderful time!

Jean and Bob were wonderful hosts. They were very accommodating. The rental was very nice. Very relaxing and comfortable. Jean took us fishing in their pond. We had trout for dinner. Great view and saw many deer. We plan on coming back.

Great for me

Need to stay with two dogs. Enjoyed the cute town of Darby for a month in the restaurants and especially liked walking dogs by river and rodeo trail. Also close to Lost Trail and Chief Joseph Ski Resorts within one half hour. The Pine Ridge Lodge had a beautiful view.
