Our modern farmhouse mountain home has the most beautiful view of Missoula and yet so close to downtown and the university. There is so much space inside (5000 square feet) with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms to make your stay comfortable. The formal living room, separate dining room, and huge great room including a family room, eating area, and breakfast nook along with a huge kitchen with top of the line appliances will help make you all feel at home away from home. Outside our home you will find plenty to do without even driving with a hiking trail outside the front door that leads to the Sousa Trail and the Barnmeyer Loop with an overlook that will take your breath away along with connections to the new Dean Stone Mountain trail (over 12 miles of hiking trails). It has the best of both worlds- Montana mountain life, yet close to everything downtown Missoula has to offer!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had an excellent stay. The view is second to none in Missoula. The trail and walking paths around the neighborhood were fabulous and the large open concept of the living, dining and kitchen worked great for our small family gatherings. The kitchen was so fun to cook in with double ovens and well stocked with cooking and baking supplies. The host was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

An absolutely stellar property

If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Missoula that is modern, clean, has plenty of room, and with a view that won't quit? This is the place to stay. We had a gathering of friends and family, six of us in all, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. It had everything we needed and more. The owners were easy to communicate with, and responded right away to our questions. 5 stars, across the board.

Missoula Lookout

We really wanted to love this house. It has an amazing location up on the hill overlooking the whole valley. The house is huge and has lots of room for spreading out and several rooms too. The first thing we noticed was that the front door doesn't shut completely unless you use the bolt lock. This was a little inconvenient. There are so many light switches to use and some don't seem to go anywhere just a little confusing. The fireplace in the room with the piano and up in the bedroom weren't working but we did enjoy the one in the family room along with the air hockey table. We tried using the Sauna but the temperature, even after adding more time, never really got hot enough to get a good sweat. We also wanted to use the bikes, but both of their tires were flat and there was no pump to use. In one room upstairs there is a hole in the ceiling where you can see insulation and into the attic along with a hole in the wall behind the chair. Several of the cabinets don't shut correctly and many of them had glue put on them which looked a little bit tacky. We also enjoyed the firepit outside the last night as the wood provided was nice and dry and caught very quickly. I think this place could be really nice with a little TLC and I do realize it is a rental, I just think for the price tag that things could be in better shape and amenities that are being provided should work properly.

Wonderful views of Missoula

The location was private but conveniently close to town. You can’t beat the views and the layout of the house was perfect for our group of nine. There’s a walking trail close to the house plus a well stocked entertainment area with an air hockey game. We really enjoyed our stay.

Unfortunately, due to a crazy wind storm, the house did not have power but the owner was so great about communicating with me and working to refund me due to this force of nature causing us to find alternative plans. The host was great to work with and I hope I can rent the house in the future!

Great place for a wedding party to stay!

We had a great time staying at this beautiful property! Host provided helpful directions, we had no issues checking in, and we loved the patio and all the game options. We were a bit disappointed that the floors and showers didn’t appear to have been cleaned thoroughly before our stay and that one of the showerheads in the bathroom did not work, but in general we had a great time and it worked well for our group.

We gathered family from Maine, Florida and Utah for a wedding in the area. The home accommodated our large group comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped to cook our meals together and the patio offered amazing views at all times. Deer frequent the property and drink from the pond! Some from our group chose to hit the trail leaving from the driveway. All around we had a wonderful time in the home. No complaints.
