Weekend on the Blackfoot
The property is absolutely wonderful. Plenty of space and privacy right on the river. Check in was a little bumpy but it was resolved quickly.The wifi was not consistent which was fine by me but if you were trying to do some work while staying, don’t count on it. It’s a great place to escape for a bit!

As we were in town to fish, the location was great as we could access the river from the backyard. It was also very close to everything else we needed.

Some good and some bad
Nice location, grounds well kept, and with a little TLC could be a really nice place to stay. Information about the property needs to be updated -- it has AC but not too effective, thermostat requires battery, system guide would be handy. Bathrooms toiletries not topped off, some dispensers empty. Kitchen trash bin area disgusting, but kitchen well stocked. NEEDS TLC!

This was a great place to stay for us to meet up with our family that lives down the Blackfoot River. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck each afternoon and evening by the river. It was easy to grill and have suppers together. It is conveniently located near Bonner and a quick trip to Missoula. Communication with property manager was quick and easy.

What a magical weekend by the riverside!
We rented this home for our son’s graduation from UM and it was simply perfect. An incredible, quiet hideaway by the Blackfoot river, yet still close to town and the campus. We had plenty of room for kids, two sets of grandparents, and the dog - and we didn’t want to leave!

D&D Weekend Retreat
My friends and I were searching for a quiet, comfortable place with many rooms where we could meet and play games for the weekend. This place was ideal. It had all the amenities - even a magnifying glass which we suddenly realized we needed!
The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you'd need to cook a nice meal. It was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked great the entire time. There was a large table we could use to spread out and comfortable couches to lounge on. The beds were very plush. It was warm and cozy inside.
On the second day, a stunning blue jay appeared in stark contrast to the wintry landscape. He hopped up to visit and demanded we share bread with him. The view from the house was calming and beautiful. Though it was cold and snowy out, we even saw intrepid fishermen rafting down the Blackfoot.
I'd highly recommend this place for a large group who want to hang out together in a place that feels like home. In warmer weather, it would be very relaxing to sit in the gazebo and dip your toes in the river. But it's a perfect place for friends to gather together and spend quality time.

Great location , river access
My family loved this place. It's only 15 minutes from town, but you feel completely secluded. I didn't even know we had neighbors. There is plenty of room for families with two seating areas and 4 bedrooms. You can't beat being directly on the river. My kids and I swam, and fished every day. I would definitely recommend this place. Just don't expect any cell service until you get out on the road. They do however have internet so you can stay as connected as you want.

House is amazing - The property management team has NO clue what they are doing. House is out of range of any cell service and wifi went out first day. The management companies response to this was horrible. I booked this place because it had wifi ( I had to work and stay in communication with sick family member ) So yeah.. House is amazing but if any thing goes wrong... Forget about it. They are not going to help you. Owners need to find somebody else to help run this place.
