This is a dreamy spot just outside of busy Missoula. We stayed here during a business trip and as soon as you pull in the driveway, the stress just melted away. The serene sound of the rushing Blackfoot river just outside the doors led to the most amazing nights of sleep I’d had since I was a teenager. They have thought of everything, so just show up and you’ll be amazed. Love. Love. Love. We extended our stay by a week because it was heavenly. We will book again!
This cabin or full-sized home is a wonderful spot for a family getaway or a work retreat. We used it for both, and the first week was dedicated to work. It was such a great experience that we decided to stay an extra week after the staff left. The place has everything you could need, unlike some rentals that only provide minimal supplies like just enough toilet paper, paper towels, and laundry detergent for a few days. We’re definitely coming back and also love the similar rental next door on the same property, which we plan to book as well! 3 10/10 – Truly AMAZING!
Great location and very comfortable accomodation. We had a reat time fishing and relaxing along the banks of the Blackfoot

Bringing my dog and family to stay along the river was pure magic. Cabin has everything you need plus close enough to town to go to the store daily if needed.

Beautiful property with all the amenities. We had a great 3 night stay, and enjoyed the house, the yard, the hammock, and the river. I highly recommend a stay at this property!
This is our new favorite VRBO! We had the most relaxing stay, at this one of a kind property! Everything was easy, the management company was very communicative. This is the ultimate family house.
As we were in town to fish, the location was great as we could access the river from the backyard. It was also very close to everything else we needed.

The property is absolutely wonderful. Plenty of space and privacy right on the river. Check in was a little bumpy but it was resolved quickly.The wifi was not consistent which was fine by me but if you were trying to do some work while staying, don’t count on it. It’s a great place to escape for a bit!
Loved the space and location. Came in to work with our crew and family. Nice home to work and relax. We would love to book again in the summer with the other cabin for a real family vacation and not work!

We rented this home for our son’s graduation from UM and it was simply perfect. An incredible, quiet hideaway by the Blackfoot river, yet still close to town and the campus. We had plenty of room for kids, two sets of grandparents, and the dog - and we didn’t want to leave!

Beautiful property location and great house. Property management company could do a better job ensuring everything in the house is in working order and a smoother check-in process. The company's check-in instructions stated the door code would be the last four-digits of my phone number. That was not the case, which caused delay during check-in as we had to contact the property management company. Experienced some plumbing issues in both downstairs bathrooms. The property management company was responsive in trying to rectify the issue.

Thank you for your review and for your kind comments about the home and its location — we’re so glad you enjoyed the property itself.
We sincerely apologize for the confusion with the door code at check-in. That is not the experience we want for our guests. We have reviewed the messaging to ensure the instructions are clear and accurate moving forward. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Regarding the plumbing issues, thank you for your patience while we worked to address them. We’re glad we were able to respond quickly, and we are continuing to follow up to ensure everything is fully resolved.
We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve both our systems and the guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
This was a great place to stay for us to meet up with our family that lives down the Blackfoot River. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck each afternoon and evening by the river. It was easy to grill and have suppers together. It is conveniently located near Bonner and a quick trip to Missoula. Communication with property manager was quick and easy.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that our place was perfect for your family meet-up and that you enjoyed the deck by the river. It's great to know that you found the location convenient and the communication smooth. We hope to host you again soon!
My family loved this place. It's only 15 minutes from town, but you feel completely secluded. I didn't even know we had neighbors. There is plenty of room for families with two seating areas and 4 bedrooms. You can't beat being directly on the river. My kids and I swam, and fished every day. I would definitely recommend this place. Just don't expect any cell service until you get out on the road. They do however have internet so you can stay as connected as you want.

Some good and some bad
Nice location, grounds well kept, and with a little TLC could be a really nice place to stay. Information about the property needs to be updated -- it has AC but not too effective, thermostat requires battery, system guide would be handy. Bathrooms toiletries not topped off, some dispensers empty. Kitchen trash bin area disgusting, but kitchen well stocked. NEEDS TLC!

House is amazing - The property management team has NO clue what they are doing. House is out of range of any cell service and wifi went out first day. The management companies response to this was horrible. I booked this place because it had wifi ( I had to work and stay in communication with sick family member ) So yeah.. House is amazing but if any thing goes wrong... Forget about it. They are not going to help you. Owners need to find somebody else to help run this place.

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We understand your frustration and we genuinely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the internet issue during your stay.
Our team always strives to provide the best service possible, but in this case, upon your arrival at the property, you made an early check-in request, which we, unfortunately, had to decline as our cleaners had not yet arrived onsite. However, you proceeded to enter the property anyway. Additionally, you informed our cleaners that their services were not required, which hindered us from conducting a proper cleaning and inspection of the home. If we had been able to inspect the property thoroughly, we might have detected and addressed the internet issue earlier.
As a gesture of goodwill, we offered a $100 compensation for the internet issue, as we value your satisfaction and aim to make amends for any shortcomings in our service.
Since the 3rd party Hughes-Net technical services was not able to restore services in a timely manner, we have committed to upgrading the system to Starlink.
My friends and I were searching for a quiet, comfortable place with many rooms where we could meet and play games for the weekend. This place was ideal. It had all the amenities - even a magnifying glass which we suddenly realized we needed!
The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you'd need to cook a nice meal. It was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked great the entire time. There was a large table we could use to spread out and comfortable couches to lounge on. The beds were very plush. It was warm and cozy inside.
On the second day, a stunning blue jay appeared in stark contrast to the wintry landscape. He hopped up to visit and demanded we share bread with him. The view from the house was calming and beautiful. Though it was cold and snowy out, we even saw intrepid fishermen rafting down the Blackfoot.
I'd highly recommend this place for a large group who want to hang out together in a place that feels like home. In warmer weather, it would be very relaxing to sit in the gazebo and dip your toes in the river. But it's a perfect place for friends to gather together and spend quality time.

It warms our hearts to know that you found the amenities, including the unexpected magnifying glass, helpful during your stay. We're delighted that the spacious and well-stocked kitchen, comfortable living spaces, and plush beds contributed to a memorable and enjoyable stay.
Your description of the wintry landscape, the unexpected visit from a stunning blue jay, and the serene view from the house paint a vivid picture of the unique and tranquil atmosphere our property offers. We're glad you had the opportunity to witness the beauty of nature even in the colder weather.
Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you and your friends again, perhaps during warmer weather when you can fully enjoy the gazebo and the river.
Safe travels, and thank you for choosing our vacation rental for your getaway!
