6 Bitterroot Valley Vacation Rental Tips

Popular summer dates go fast. We recommend booking 9 – 12 months in advance if you can. Try to book by January for the busy summer season.

Life is full of surprises and most vacation rentals have strict cancellation policies. For a nominal fee you can protect your trip costs for just about any situation that may arise.

4. Coordinate Check-in the Day Before Arrival

Touch base with your host or manager the day before arrival to coordinate check-in. Arrival always goes smoother with good communication.

5. You’ll Need a Vehicle

You are going to need a vehicle if you are staying at a vacation rental. There’s lots of driving to see all that the Bitterroot Valley has to offer. Any vehicle is fine during the summer months, but winter can be a different story. Four wheel drive with winter tires is a good idea from November to April.

6. Leave Your Food and Drink

Unless your host or manager instructs you not to, leave your extra food and drink in the kitchen rather than throw it away. Vacation rental housekeepers make great use of the extra food and condiments.
