Quaint cottage close to the river and a one or two minute walk to a supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants and downtown shops.The host is responsive, helpful and reassuringly prepared to assist with enquiries.It has the feel of sitting a friend's house while they are away with many homely touches. Highly recommended.

We had a great time in this clean, adorable and ideally situated home. The only caveat is that the sofa bed is very uncomfortable and LOUD. My son ended up just sleeping on the adjacent couch. If you need a comfortable third bed, this might not be the spot for you.

This is the second year my wife and I have stayed at Shaun’s house. We returned because the house is in a great location, walking distance to the University and downtown, a great neighborhood, and because the house has everything you could need. Shaun is a great host, easy to contact and very accommodating. We definitely hope to stay again!

This little house has been lovingly updated and had everything we needed for our five days in Missoula. Comfortable beds, a wonderful walk in shower, a fenced yard for our little dog, and conveniently located - right off Broadway, walk to the University, the Children’s Theater, the new Library, grocery store, and Finn (the perfect place for a drink on the patio overlooking the river.
