Wow! These guys nailed it. It’s like they built the house to be a VRBO and stocked it with everything you could possibly need. Our family rented this space for a wedding weekend. The grandkids loved having the lower level all to themselves. Our elderly mother was able to stay on the ground floor and not deal with steps. We had our own private retreat upstairs. Highly recommend.

This house was perfect for our stay with extended family in Missoula for a wedding. Beautiful new home in a quiet neighborhood. Three floors with two bedrooms and one full bath on each floor. The kids loved hanging out in the basement tv/game room, leaving the adults quiet space upstairs. Elderly family members could stay on first floor to avoid stairs, and plenty of room for our large party to spread out. Fully stocked kitchen, laundry facilities and bathrooms, and fenced in outdoor patio with lots of seating, grill and small fire pit. Hosts were very helpful and communicative. Would definitely recommend!!

We spent Thanksgiving here with our family. The house was set up very well for multiple people and provided privacy with bedrooms on 3 levels. I was very skeptical about cooking a turkey dinner at a rental and was pleasantly surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked. The location was great with easy access to downtown and the university. I would stay here again!

We organized a week-long family get-together several months ago, and from the very beginning, Brad was so easy to work with. They bent over backwards to accommodate our needs and requests, and I appreciate it so very much! When we arrived at the house, we found everything exactly as described, only better! We found snacks the place overflowing with snacks, fresh flowers on the table, a great selection of toys and books for our four-year old granddaughter! And I have never stayed at a place so well-stocked with every little convenience we might think of, from lotion, toothpaste, nail files, to a well-stocked pantry. We needed a griddle for pancakes, and Brad found one and dropped it off bright and early before breakfast, and left it on the front porch! This is also the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Thank you so much for your absolutely wonderful home, where we could visit with family all week in beautiful Missoula. Our son lives there, so it's very likely this will become an annual or semi-annual event, and we will absolutely love to stay there again! Thank you! The Carpenter - Bolte Family

Perfect Family Casa

We loved it! Great house that was fully equipped with every possible amenity. Check in and access were easy and the owners were helpful and thoughtful. House was easy to find and accessible to downtown Missoula, UM and other areas. We hope to stay again when we are back in town!

This property exceeded my expectations! We were in town for my daughter’s wedding and to have my entire family have a comfortable and safe place to stay and socialize was wonderful. This place is STOCKED and has everything you could ever need. Brad was highly communicative which was appreciated. Can’t say enough but if I ever needed to come back to house that many people it would be my first choice. Economical too!
