Beautiful space, convenient location

Very nice space with everything we needed for a couple of days in Missoula. We opted to drive downtown, just a few minutes away due to the little heat wave we were in, but it would've been a quick walk otherwise.

Beautiful Space

Beautifully designed and decorated open one bedroom. I especially appreciated the modern and high quality dishes and appliances. Bed was large and comfortable set away from the road with a small, private patio and small bathroom with a beautiful tile shower. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Quick trip

Location was very good for our needs. The dwelling is cute and clean. Could use a good dusting off of cobwebs on the light fixtures. The only thing that was hard for us, the noise from upstairs. Can hear talking and people walking etc. I would suggest leaving the porch light on for guests. It’s pretty dark at the door. Makes it a bit hard to see the lockbox numbers. Otherwise it’s a very cute and cozy place to stay.

I’m also a musician and enjoy sharing recommendations for great local spots, live music, and outdoor adventures. If you have any questions during your stay or want suggestions on where to eat, drink, or explore, feel free to reach out anytime.

Why they chose this property

This is a great neighborhood in central Missoula. Many of the homes, including this one, were built over a hundred years ago. The house is walking distance to downtown, the Westside has a unique character with many breweries, trails, and river access.
