Our host was super accommodating, responsive and helpful. The house is cozy, comfortable and a fantastic location (university, store, downtown). We stayed for a few weeks and it really became a home away from home. The shower is awesome! A little train noise in the late evening but with earplugs was not a problem at ok and I am normally very sensitive to sound/light sleeper. Shaun kept the snow scooped for safety. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Missoula getaway

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!
