Let Sage Cottage 406 be your Vacation Getaway
Our cottage is located on our small farm in the Heart of the Bitterroot Valley, Montana. The house was built exclusively as a vacation getaway and is the perfect setting for individuals seeking peace and serenity, a couple’s retreat, or a small family getaway to enjoy all the beautiful things the Bitterroot Valley has to offer. This serene setting overlooks Hamilton and is conveniently close to hiking and biking trails, as well as numerous rivers and wildlife, making it ideal for scenic drives.
The cottage privacy yard has spectacular views looking over the Bitterroot Mountains range, 7 miles from Hamilton, Montana; Sage Cottage 406 has its driveway with a large parking lot, fire pit, hot tub, privacy yard, and modern convinces like a washer/dryer, free Wi-Fi, two smart TVs, and all new appliances and complimentary handcrafted soaps made from ingredients on our organic farm like lavender, roses, and honey.
Less than 10 miles away is the Bitterroot River, which boasts over 100 miles of Blue-Ribbon trout water, making it an excellent destination for fly fishing. The night sky is brilliant for stargazing; Bill has a couple of telescopes set up for astrophotography from our backyard.

The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, silverware, and utensils. It features an electric stove, Instant Pot, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, espresso maker, toaster, cookbooks, and a well-stocked pantry. It is stylishly designed with an Italian ceramic tiled backsplash and glass drawer pulls. Bill blew in our glass studio.
A full-size washer and dryer are just off the kitchen, with complimentary laundry soap.
The bedroom is warm and inviting, featuring a comfortable queen-sized bed, latté-colored walls, espresso lamps, and chocolate-colored blackout curtains. Along with the 40” smart TV, it has a writing desk equipped with writing paper, Sage Cottage cards, coloring pages for the young and young at heart, and colored pencils. We hung one of our favorite prints from Tim Cox above the bed, named “Just for the heck of it.”
The living room has a futon that folds out to a queen-size bed for extra guests. The dining room table is tall, with tall chairs, allowing for a better view of the windows and enjoying the views. A smart TV is mounted on the wall between the living room and kitchen, swiveling to be viewed from either the living room or the kitchen.
The full-size bath comes with complimentary soaps. It features an inviting tub with pebbled beach tile flooring and Tuscan-style tiles on the walls. A linen closet supplies extra towels, linens, games, and puzzles in the bath. We have our hand-blown glass drawer pulls on the cabinetry, adding to the artistic elegance.
This cottage features a private driveway and entrance, complete with a digital keypad on the front door. 360-degree views can be enjoyed from this location, with the kitchen window overlooking the Bitterroot Mountains and the living room windows offering a view of the Sapphire Mountain range.
We designed this house to offer free Wi-Fi and installed two flat-screen smart TVs; guests staying can enjoy complimentary Netflix and network channels, or stream music. The TV in the bedroom has a wireless soundbar that connects to handheld devices.
Next to the cottage is a fire pit and a private area with a view of the Bitterroot Mountains. Behind the cottage is a hot tub that is always warm and ready with spectacular views of the night sky or the Bitterroot Mountains. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy a cup of coffee, watch the sunrise, and listen to the birds sing and chirp.
The cottage is cleaned by a chemical engineer, Rae, leaving no trace of DNA behind. Sorry, no pets so that we can keep the place dander-free. Our home is located on the same property, and we enjoy meeting our guests while respecting their privacy.
For our tiny human guests, the cottage features a Graco Pack ‘n Play and a booster seat with a tray. The seat straps for one of our chairs fit children aged six months to 4 years. We also offer wall plugs for those who would like them to add extra protection. The cottage has a rocket ship tent for kids to play in. Even with the best childproofing, we still recommend that all children be supervised. One of the funniest things we have found kids like about staying at our cottage is chasing our free-range chickens. We encourage this; the old girls need their exercise, so please feel free to give them a chase.
Bill and Rae Grout are glass / Steampunk artists who live on this small farm overlooking the Bitterroot Mountains. Building the cottage was their ultimate art project; “we built this house specifically as a vacation getaway using our blown glass cabinet knobs, artesian tiles, and elegant touches”.
About Bill & Rae
We are full-time artists with extensive backgrounds in the high-tech industry, which enables us to handle the technical aspects of our artwork and glass blowing. We love to incorporate science into our functional art pieces.
Our small organic farm overlooks the Bitterroot Mountains with several buildings dedicated to our work-from-home lifestyle. The Steampunk Shop is Rae’s creative space; the Torch Shop is where we blow our glass, and the Big Shop is for general mad science and Bill’s electronics lab.
Since 1993, our work has produced glass art, including hand-blown contemporary marbles, hummingbird feeders, and Pixie Orb ornaments.
We are spreading love and harmony – one piece of art at a time.
