Cindy travel home safe. I can’t wait for you to return to Darby… Can you believe it’s almost May 1 and we had that much snow this morning that was unusual… Enjoyed meeting you.
We had a wonderful time visiting Darby, and the cabin was perfect! We walked through the little town, and loved visiting the shops and restaurants. The cabin was everything we needed and appreciated all the accommodations that made our stay so wonderful!

I am so thrilled you guys had such a good time… I just wished you could have stayed longer! It was sure nice meeting you folks and I know we’ll see each other again. Safe travels heading back home.
The cabin was perfect for my old dog - had a fenced back porch that's shaded all day, with great views of the hills and a field with horses behind the house. Nice grass yard area to hang out in as well. Saw many birds and deer too. Quick walk to downtown gave the perfect balance between scenic and easy access to restaurants and shops. The hostess was pleasant and very helpful!

Oh I’m so happy they had a great ski vacation… Darn I wish they would have knew they were looking for one I could’ve let them know where it was in the Sundown cabin. I will put it where it’s a little easier to see. Thank you for the wonderful words… Hope you get to join them next time!!!
This was our second stay at this adorable cabin! The cabin provides a private, comfortable venue close to everything in and around Darby. The cabin is lovely inside and has everything needed, including a cute well equipped kitchen. The host, Shawna, was excellent in communicating and being available if needed! Great place!!

Thank you so much for your kind words… Hope you enjoyed your anniversary and birthday getaway!!!
You’re welcome back anytime!
I loved my stay at the SunDown Cabin. It is so cute and cozy! It is located along 93 in Darby close to everything. Amazingly enough, you don't here the cars. The back of the property is more secluded and deer were out while I sat on the back deck enjoying my morning coffee. Shawna is a great host and goes above and beyond to give you a welcoming experience. She was also very helpfuI with directions to local places I wanted to visit. I also thought the price was reasonable for the area. I would definitely stay there again!

Thank you Kelly!
Wow, since you left, I have two baby deer in the back pasture… Also the Internet is fixed and my mattress topper is here lol hope you made it home safe. Look forward to seeing you next time you come into Darby.!
We had the absolute best time staying at Shawna’s Sundown cabin right on Main Street in Darby, MT. It was right next door to a great little breakfast restaurant. The cabin was stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The bed and furniture were very comfortable and the multiple outdoor seating areas were so darling. We enjoyed coffee on the back patio that had a gate so our dog could stay out there with us. We enjoyed having a fire in the firepit that was provided. Shawna was a great host and great at communicating and provided a ton of information on the area and things to see and do. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Darby.

Lovely one room cabin. Very comfortable, cozy and clean - has a great vibe. Great Wi-Fi (which we needed for a work issue that came up). Walked 10 minutes to restaurant on “Main Street.” Host was great and very helpful!! Made it easy and very accommodating!

This property is perfectly appointed, has everything you need and more for a very comfortable stay. We were so impressed the minute we walked in! Each moment from making the reservation to check out was carefree. There are not enough positive remarks to express how much we enjoyed our stay, we will definitely return! Thank you!!!

I really love this little cabin! It isn't our normal. We tend to do cabins in the woods or camp on a river, but we really did not want to camp this weekend and this little cabin is just perfect. It is so nice inside. It is right on the road, but we enjoyed easy access to Darby. We will definitely stay here again!

Excellent property and owners.This is a well stocked little cabin.Close to everything Montana!
Shawna is very accessible and flexible.

Thank you so much Diana! I am so thrilled you guys enjoyed your time… Sweet can’t wait for you to come back in the spring! Reach out to me sooner than later the property gets pretty booked up. If that one is full I might be able to squeeze you in another one of mine there in Darby… So either way reach out to me! 
We had an amazing time at this cute cabin! It was well equipped and super cozy! Darby is a cute town and we enjoyed our stay. Shawna was absolutely amazing! Best host ever! She went above and beyond for us and we greatly appreciated her!
Definitely take advantage of the Kayaks! The lake is beautiful. We spent our evenings watching the deer feed in the field behind the cabin. Breakfast at the Montana Cafe is a MUST! One of our best meals in Montana!
