Hot tub, Fire Pit, Ping Pong, & New Kitchen. Family Friendly Garden City Getaway
This is the entire 2k s.f. lower level of my home with it’s own private entrance and relaxing hot tub. It feels like you’re in the mountains yet its only a 10 min drive from downtown. Pine trees surround the 1 acre property and you can hear the creek running through the backyard. Enjoy sitting around the fire pit, playing ping pong or cozy up watching a movie.
This is a modern, daylight lower level with three bedrooms. The Primary bedroom has a SmartTV and a dedicated workspace with a new, king-size Helix mattress and plush-down comforter. All bedrooms have a walk-in closet, reading lights, black-out blinds, box fans, and extra pillows/blankets. Enjoy cooking in a brand new, fully equipped kitchen with all the necessities. The spacious family room has ping pong, a dining table, and an extra-large wrap-around couch to enjoy movie night. The couch can sleep two people and there is also an additional full size folding mattress to use for an additional $20. The home has radiant floor heating and 1 bathroom. The bathroom has pocket doors that divide the two sinks, toilet and shower rooms, allowing multiple people to use them simultaneously.
Game trails are running through the property and we enjoy seeing deer and a wide variety of birds daily. There is also a pair of foxes that slink through from time to time and we had a unique opportunity to see a bear and several wild horses this past summer as well!
I live above the rental but I am gone frequently and very quiet. The lower level and hot tub are completely private and not shared and we refrain from using my back deck when guests are here.
Guest access/parking: Please only park TWO cars at the very end of the driveway so that the garages don’t get blocked. PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE NEIGHBOR'S SIDE OF THE STREET AS THEY MAY TOW.
From the end of the driveway, turn right and a gentle tiered gravel pathway takes you to the back of the unit's private entrance and hot tub. The entire lower level of the house is for guest use and is NOT shared.
There is a Yurt in the backyard where my daughter/co-host lives.
A professional service person stops by weekly to properly maintain the hot tub.
All our soaps, laundry detergent, & cleaning products have been carefully selected to be free of harmful chemicals, fragrances, or other undesirable ingredients.

We stayed 10 days while building our son's house near Blue Mountain. It was a very nice place to come back to after a day's work, comfy and cozy. We liked the location and the property, located in a nice neighborhood in the pines. Shari is a kind and conscientious host while giving you plenty of privacy. We were too busy to enjoy all the amenities but it is a great family oriented place. We hope to return in Spring.
The property is meticulously maintained and has a secluded feeling to it. I enjoyed my stay at this place and will be using it again when I travel to Missoula.
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly! The house is in a great spot, we saw deer every day, plenty of fun amenities to stay entertained! Thanks for hosting such an awesome spot

Thanks Tim, Despite a fairly large group of people you left the place in such great shape! Thank you for the your thoughtful and kind review! Shari
Our family enjoyed the open space, ping pong table and hot tub! The are is unique area and we loved the vibe. One of the beds and pillows were too hard for our liking and it only has 3 total beds so we struggled to find spaces to sleep 8. The host was lovely. Even though it’s a bottom unit, it was very quiet.
The hostess gave clear communication during the entire process of pre and during stay. The place was clean and tastefully decorated. It was perfect for what we were hoping for. If visiting this area again we will probably return :)
This year we opted to do a family adventure opposed to presents. This stay/home was the perfect grounding spot for all of our hot springs adventures, touring and hikes. The kids loved the ping pong table, rooms, and hot tub. We were also blessed to see 4 of the free wild horses that live in the Missoula foothills. A perfect stay for our family! The vibe and energy of the home was in sync with our family!
Quiet place to land after long days at the baseball field
We really enjoyed our stay. The amenities were spot on, plenty of blankets and pillows, fans in every room if needed and the kitchen supplies were fantastic. The hot tub was a nice perk to relax after a chilly day at teh ball fields. Our favorite part though was the comfy couch, everyone in our family was able to relax and be comfortable and watch a family movie. We’ll be looking to book again in the future!
