Bab's is a well appointed home away from home in a great location. Right on the hip strip, a pleasant walk away from just about everything in central Missoula. A great place to stay to feel like you're at home.
This is my 4th stay at Babs. I won't stay anywhere else. Has everything you could want or need for a wonderful stay. Great location, all amenities you could want or need.
Great property, great location very walkable to restaurants, shops and bars. Very clean, has everything I needed to work and and enjoy my time there. Great little pastry and coffee shop right across the street went there daily. They have a bakery right onsite… very French pastries! I’d plan my stay here again when in Missoula.
Absolutely wonderful condo. Location is perfect - walking distance to restaurants, bakeries and downtown Missoula. The owner provides excellent cooking equipment to prepare meals.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bab’s. Jenni was an excellent host - responsive, clear directions. The location was perfect - within easy walking of downtown, U of M campus, and several awesome bakeries for morning coffee and pastries/doughnuts. The condo was exactly as described. Beautiful wood floors and older architecture. Would definitely stay again when in Missoula. Highly recommend!
Would stay there in a heart beat. Missoula is known for bad traffic but the Babs is an easy place to travel from. Good directions from the owners both for arrival and entering the unit.
The senior center is a block away offering a $5 lunch and a good italian restaurant is located 50 feet away more than $5. Ying and yang.
Wonderful 1 bedroom condo surrounded by good neighborhood restaurants and the Clark Fork river. The condo was really nice and comfortable. The bed was a bit stiff for us, but if you like temperpedic type mattresses you will love this place. The condo is in walking distance of the university and downtown area. The Italian restaurant and bakery were terrific. Bonus was having the river trails right there for morning and evening strolls. Check in and out were easy and the condo was well appointed.
Let’s be honest, I’m not wanting to give a good review for selfish reasons. If my daughter ends up going to UM, I want to be able to reserve this place every single time. The location couldn’t be beat and everything we needed was in walking distance. The Bab’s was stunning and communication with the host was quick and simple. All selfishness put aside, this place is highly recommended and affordable!
I was pleasantly surprised by the apartment in it’s present form. The last time I saw the inside of The Babs was 1998, and it’s a beautiful piece of Missoula history. The apartment has been renovated, and is more comfortable now than back then, while retaining its original charm. Immaculately clean, aesthetically pleasing, and spacious, walking distance from the university and downtown, and the host(s) are incredibly friendly and helpful people. Without question I’d stay there again, and recommend it highly to anyone visiting Missoula.

Great Condo!
This condo is wonderful and Jenni was really amazing. Everything is exactly as pictured and the location is great for walking to the local bars and restaurants. You can walk as far across the bridge as you'd like or pop just around the corner for dinner. The condo is conveniently located a short trek from the downtown, various markets, and the school campus. We had a really great time and I cannot say enough nice things about Jenni. She was prompt in her communication, flexible, and really accommodating! Missoula was both relaxing and fun and we would definitely want to stay at the condo if we were to visit again.

Great condo makes great guests. I am so thrilled to hear you had a good stay. It's my pleasure to host my guests to my best abilities, and yes, if there only is wiggle room, I am as flexible as I can, as it comes to check-ins and outs.
And I'm glad to hear you had fun in Missoula, looking forward to hosting you again! thank you so much.
We absolutely loved this spot. Love that it’s close to downtown and all our favorite spots. It will be the new go to when we stay in Missoula. Such a cozy place!
A great location - plenty of things to do and places to eat within a short walk.
The unit and building are nice, clean, and stylish. Would definitely consider staying here again.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Babs. Jenni was super helpful when we thought we lost our key and was easy to get a hold of. The place itself was clean and homey. Thanks Jenni!
This place is a beautifully decorated place in a great location to downtown and walking distance to most anything in the historic area of Missoula.
If you like old historic but classy and very clean with modern amenities , this place is perfect.
It was a bit stuffy the first day
And no A/C in main living space made it pretty sweltering.
Luckily , fans were provided and by our second day had improved air circulation. Bruce and Betsy Peck
This property checked all my boxes in regards to location, price, amenities and cleanliness. The property is very comfortable and there are plenty of places to walk to for coffee, drinks or food.

About the host
Hosted by Jenni Rohrbach
Missoula, as for many people, is a special place to us. It is where we met as students in college and where we always knew we wanted to call home. After school, however, life and work took us to Asia, Finland and New York City, before we could both settle back in Missoula together and start our family. Now with our daughter Maija, we are pleased to share all that the Missoula community has to offer with visitors at our Bab’s condo.
Why they chose this property
Jenni first came to Missoula as an exchange student attending grad school from Finland. She immediately fell in love with the surrounding landscape and community but most of all Kurt. Kurt’s family is from the area and always knew the Montana lifestyle was the only one for him. They both enjoy the outdoor and cultural opportunities Missoula has to offer including skiing up Pattee Canyon, taking their daughter Maija to Missoula’s award winning Children’s Theater or enjoying Missoula’s restaurants, breweries and distilleries. They feel fortunate to call Missoula home and are pleased to share their love of the area with each of their guests.
What makes this property unique
The Babs is one of Missoula’s premiere historic buildings. Located near several of Missoula’s gems including downtown, the Kim Williams trail and the University, visitors can easily walk or bike to restaurants, shopping, bars, and hiking trails. Not to mention the best ice cream (The Big Dipper), pastries (Le Petite) and beer (Kettle House) are just around the corner. In addition, the condo itself is fully stocked with the comforts of home including a full-kitchen, children’s amenities (pack n’ play, high chair, books and toys as well as eating utensils) and king-size temperpedic bed. The Babs also offers a rec room with pool table and a garden area with a Viking grill available for guest use.
