Clean, close and comfortable

Babs is very charming and perfectly located in town and near the river. I just concluded my 3 weeks in July and look forward to a return visit. The air conditioning worked great! The only tiny bump…I didn’t know how to turn on the tv. Owner’s son was there within 5 minutes to show me. I would recommend this lovely home.

Amazing location!

Such a fun place to stay! Located in a great spot just across the bridge of the main downtown. This area, known as the “hip strip”, has a great juice bar, vegan doughnut, taco spot, coffee, bakery and a dive with great burgers. Lydia was super sweet as well. Would highly recommend!

Condo needed a deep cleaning

Have stayed in other condos in the Babs. Great location. Nice sized condos for two adults. Unit 10 had fine reviews (but no reviews after November 2021?). The primary problem: the unit was not adequately clean. Seemed okay at first--sink, tub and toilet looked fine. Then bathroom cabinet doors came off when we opened them. Had trouble with TVs and Internet. Owners responded to those concerns. But after a couple days (and filthy feet), I realized the floors were DIRTY. Saw wrappers and a toy under couches. So sweep, vacuum and mop, right? Easy enough. But the dust under the couches was thick. The kitchen floor was filthy--multiple moppings were required and the dirt removed was extensive. Should I have called? Probably. But at a minimum, I expect a VRBO property to be well-cleaned--no calling required. And the more I looked: cobwebs, dirty walls, dusty vents, stained furniture, mildewed shower curtain. Would not stay again. I let the owner know all my concerns on checkout. Hope they have corrected and done a deep clean.

Tough to beat

This rental is in the perfect location. Great access to downtown and the university. With the River Trail, Currents, the MCT, the Carousel, Dragons Hollow, Big Dipper and so many good restaurants right there, you just can’t beat it. This is our second stay here. The space is just right for a family mostly on the go, but that still spends some down time around the rental. Unit has everything you need. We would definitely stay here again.

Verified traveler

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Babs is absolutely an institution in Missoula! It's stately and historic but also sumptuous and modernized. It's literally a 10 minute walk from the heart of Missoula (via the Higgins St. bridge over a gorgeous river) and next door to top-rated bakeries and Italian restaurants -- basically everything is at your doorstep. The only slight negative is the smoke alarm in the kitchen is hyper-sensitive and goes off when simply cooking eggs with barely any smoke or steam but if you open the window it takes care of that. (And anyway, in such a stately wooden building built in c.1902 wouldn't you want a very sensitive smoke alarm?) This awesome condo unit is just pure comfort and really crowned my weeklong visit to beautiful Missoula.

Great location, perfect for a stay in Missoula!

We came to town with our two kids, 6 and 4 for a family vacation. Riverfront was the perfect location. With access to the Missoula trail system within a block of the condo, we were able to leave our car parked for much of the trip. We hoped on our bikes or walked just about every place we wanted to go. Within a couple of blocks there’s Big Dipper ice cream, Bernice’s bakery, the Bridge pizza, and so much more. Also close by is a small park with river access where the kids played in the river numerous times. Cross the Higgins street bridge and there is the Carousel, Dragons Hallow, and a lot of good dining and shopping. 15 minutes and you can be at the trailhead for the Rattlesnake recreation area. This place has great access to so many places that are classic Missoula and will work great for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Missoula downtown lifestyle or anyone visiting the University. We would definitely stay again!
