The Fox Watch is an apartment attached to the owner-occupied main house (upstairs). There is a single step inside the property into the living room, but the entire rental is on the ground floor.
Bedroom 1
Drift off in comfort in this warm, inviting room featuring a queen bed, soft linens, and a crackling fireplace that sets the perfect mountain-retreat mood. A small sitting area offers the ideal spot to curl up with a book or enjoy your morning coffee while watching the light spill through the windows.
Bedroom 2
Equally cozy and thoughtfully designed, this second bedroom also features a queen bed, a private fireplace, and a comfortable sitting area for relaxing after a day of exploring Missoula. The calming tones and soft lighting create a peaceful, restorative space to unwind.
Living Room
Gather in the heart of the home, where a third fireplace adds a touch of warmth to this bright and welcoming space. Settle in on the comfortable seating for movie nights, good conversation, or simply enjoying the quiet ambiance.
Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need — from cookware and dishware to a Keurig coffee maker with starter coffee. A breakfast bar and dining table provide plenty of room to share meals or plan your next Montana adventure.
Outdoor Space
Step onto the covered patio with seating and a gas fire pit, perfect for sipping wine under the stars or taking in mountain views. The private yard offers a peaceful retreat where you might even spot local wildlife — including the foxes that inspired this home’s name. Children are welcome to play in the yard and on the playhouse and swing set.
The Fox Watch is equipped with portable fans, boiler heating for your comfort. There is no A/C. Linens, towels, and complimentary toiletries are also provided.
There is an exterior security camera facing out for safety purposes.
Ride-sharing is available in the city of Missoula, there are also a few means of public transportation. If you have your own vehicle(s), you may park in the driveway of The Fox Watch, up to 2 vehicles.
True to its name, The Fox Watch offers a front-row seat to Montana’s wildlife — it’s not uncommon to spot a curious fox passing through the property, especially in the early morning or at dusk. Surrounded by peaceful mountain views and open skies, this home provides the perfect balance of quiet retreat and easy access to Missoula’s vibrant scene.
Just 6 miles from downtown Missoula, you’ll find a town known for its lively blend of outdoor adventure, local charm, and artsy energy. Stroll along the Clark Fork River trail, catch some river surfing on Brennan's wave, grab coffee at The Dram Shop or Black Coffee Roasting Co., and explore Caras Park, a great place to spend the day riding the carousel with kids, and where farmers markets and live music light up the weekends.
Outdoor lovers can hike or mountain bike nearby peaks like Blue Mountain, Mount Sentinel, or Lolo Peak, or hit the slopes at Montana Snowbowl for excellent skiing and snowboarding in winter. Catch a concert under the stars at the KettleHouse Amphitheater, just 14 miles away, or float the Clark Fork for a true local experience.
From fly-fishing on Rock Creek, to boutique shopping and dining downtown, Missoula offers a little of everything — and The Fox Watch is your cozy home base for it all.
