Wonderful place to stay.

We loved the location

The location of this home was perfect for us. It was an easy drive to the University and grocery store. A bonus was the beautiful setting and access to the trailhead for the walking path by the river and through the woods. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Enjoyed the property

We really enjoyed the sound of the river while we ate on the back patio. The water pressure in the showers was strong which is out of the ordinary for most houses we've rented. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and close to pretty campus.

Calm, Peaceful and Perfect

The home was clean and well stocked. The beds were extremely comfortable with down pillows and comforters. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the creek running behind the back yard was beautiful. Only issue for me was the older, low to the floor toilets. Difficult for tall people with knee problems. Overall a perfect 4 night stay!

Our stay at this remarkable property was a dream come true!! The check-in was simple and straight forward. The house was immaculately clean. The kitchen was completely stocked and everything we needed was there. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Best of all though was the location. It was so peaceful sitting in the backyard right along the river, listening to the sounds of flowing water and birds. And as if that were not enough, every morning and every evening we were so delighted to watch groups of deer walking by. There were walking trails right up the street. Honesty, there was absolutely nothing lacking and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you Julie, you are an excellent host!!

Rattlesnake Stay

The property's location was convenient. The property was clean and all equipment worked. The owner's were helpful and friendly. On the more negative side, the house was not as "up to date" as previous Verbo's I have stayed at. Also, neither side of the garage open for parking a car out of the weather.In general, however, no major complaints.

We used to love this house but beware...

I'm conflicted because in spite of what the owner wrongly accused us of after checkout, and in spite of several issues with this place, I still want to think fondly of this place. I've stayed there before and greatly enjoyed it. This time around, I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth. The location next to the creek and a trailhead is hard to beat. It gives you an overall sense of peace and well being which makes you forgive the fact that the Internet goes down for 5 minutes at a time about 8 times a day (there was also a one time wifi issue but Jeff took care of it promptly), the master sink bedroom is backed up, there's almost no water pressure in the kitchen sink, and the kitchen and bathrooms are not in the best of shape. This place has so much charm, it makes up for these issues. What doesn't work though, is when after you check out the owner accuses your (14 yo) child of having urinated all over a mattress, and opens an insurance claim for a full mattress replacement. Way to ruin someone's someone's vacation. The feeling of peace and well being we paid for... instantly gone. Not a good experience. I assume the owner didn't actually see the alleged damage with their own eyes but it's something a cleaning crew stated. Not sure what they actually saw but We've asked for evidence and are still waiting. The claim is preposterous, and we've notified the insurance company it's fraudulent.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Oct 2022
We are pleased that you have enjoyed your stays. While it is true that we did not see with our own eyes the issue at hand, we have a professional cleaner that did. The situation was far worse than what you suggested as a plausible explanation that being a wet towel being left on the bed. The mattress pad was wet thru and approximately a quarter of the mattress was saturated. We did not have the mattress lab tested but as it dried it turned yellow in color much like a urine stain does. Our interest in reaching out to you with notification of what was reported to us, was a simple gesture of courtesy. Your visceral response was a bit disturbing and your threats to “ruin us” and “sue us” has not been taken lightly. To state that a claim is fraudulent is an inappropriate assertion. While in your possession our mattress was damaged there is nothing fraudulent about that. And the cleaning crew has nothing to gain by informing us about damages they witnessed.. The rest of your complaints are just noise. First of all I was on the internet working full days at the same time you claim it was going down 8 times a day (your initial claim was 5 times a day not that it is material) for 5 minutes at a time and did not have the same or similar experience. The house is a 1960’s vintage home that was freshened up with new paint, floors and counters just a few years ago. It unfortunate that you prefer to shed responsibility for the condition of a property while in your possession. I wish you luck in finding a more suitable property for your future travels

Rattlesnake Respite

My wife and I enjoyed about 2 weeks at this functional home. It is in a great location for experiencing Missoula. The house is about 5 minutes from downtown while offering immediate trail access to the Rattlesnake Trail complex. The location on the creek also offers a peaceful setting for a meal or drink while listening to the water drift by. The house isn’t fancy, but has been given a fresh coat of paint and updated furniture. The bed in the master was very comfortable, the showers had good water pressure and the living has a large screen TV if you want it. The kitchen is basic, but had everything that we needed to prepare numerous meals with the bounty from the weekly Farmers’ Markets. We found the owners to be helpful and accessible throughout the booking process and our stay. We would definitely stay here again.
