Lovely studio apartment in an almost 100 year old historic building sitting directly on the amazing Bitterroot Trail System. Located on the Southside of Missoula and a five minute walk on the new bike path to the mall, local brewery, and several restaurants or hop on a bike and explore Missoula. It's only a 10-15 minute bike ride downtown or to the University of Montana area. Located only 1 block from the new bike/pedestrian bridge on south Reserve St.
Apartment has a queen bed in a semi private room and a twin bed in a tucked away sleeping nook. The main area has a cute little living room, bathroom and a kitchen area including sink, fridge, microwave, Keurig and 2 burner hotplate. Private entrance with small deck and great location for exploring Missoula. Unit is the top floor of the building. Must climb 1 1/2 flights of stairs to entrance. Not handicap accessible.
Entire apartment, living, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom areas, outside deck and yard. I can sometimes accommodate an early check in for an additional fee. Contact me if you need this.
I am typically available anytime you need something during the hours of 7am-10pm. I check my messages regularly and can be reached through the airbnb app. I have lived in Missoula for 25 years and am happy to answer any questions you might have about our community.
Missoula's southside is enjoying a rejuvination in the last few years and there is a very cool Brewery (The Great Burn) just a block away as well as several restaurants, the mall, brand new movie theatre (serves dinner also), 3 miles from Blue Mountain which is a great area for hiking, and much more! You can also hop on the bike path and get anywhere in town in no time at all. We are located about a half mile from Fort Missoula Regional Park where there are huge sports fields, parks, walking trails, and much more to do. Community Hospital is also a 2-3 minute drive.

Charming, comfortable, sweet vibe
I have never stayed at an airbnb before. I was a little hesitant. My daughter lives a few blocks down the Bitterroot Trail from this location & suggested I stay at this Vrbo location. To say I was happy with the decision is an understatement! It is a lovely little apartment! Beautifully decorated, within walking distance from a coffee stand, ice cream shop and mall, but tucked away in sweet neighborhood. Every little thing I could have wanted was provided! Keurig coffee machine, a few coffee pods, & sugar, creamer. A wonderful touch since I arrived very late inthe evening and didnt have to ruj for groceries. A hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner were provided. The bed was luxurious! You will not find better linens at a high end hotel.The extra special touches we so appreciated, fresh flowers left on the porch midstay!! Such a beautiful surprise! The communication with the owner was excellent.This is THE Perfect place for 1 or 2 people.Ill be back!!

Weekend Stay
The weekend stay was adequate in meeting our basic needs, although the apartment did take a while to warm up since it was nearly as cold as the outside temperature during the initial cold snap of the season.
