Everything You Need

This is a really, really nice house, very well appointed and super clean and comfortable. The location is super convenient, but it is a fairly busy area so be prepared for that. Access to U of M is excellent and getting downtown and/or on the I90 is as easy as it gets. Recommended.

Cute house close to downtown

This house worked great for me and my husband and our adult son. We enjoyed being able to walk to shops and restaurants downtown as well as being close to the university. Off street parking was a plus. The only negatives I would say are the trains that go by are very loud and when we got home we noticed our clothes all smelled like stale cigarette smoke

Charming, Clean, and Connected

We were a group of 6 adults who thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay. The place would have been a smidge too small if we stayed longer as it only has 2 bedrooms (we rotated who slept on the couch and it worked just fine for our group) but it was an absolutely charming place. Clean, had no hesitation about using anything. Charming and had all the amenities we needed. Location is perfect, walking distance to downtown and a grocery store. Would recommend this place easily! Thanks Shaun for the lovely stay!

Great house in Missoula

My wife and I stayed in this house for 3 days. It was perfect! Great location, extremely comfortable and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Also, the owner was very responsive to any and all questions which we may have had. We highly recommend this house and will stay here again the next time we come to Missoula.

Great place to stay in Missoula!

We really enjoyed the two nights we stayed in this cute historic house. The floor plan is nice, with a large bathroom between the two bedrooms. The back yard is fenced, which was good for our dog. There is a driveway for off street parking. We had to contact the owner once, and he was very responsive. It is a great to place to stay, and we plan to come back.

Missoula Wedding Trip

We booked our reservation for this house over a year before the wedding we were going to attend. It was the perfect, cozy, quaint house, walkable to the best that Missoula has to offer, just over the bridge from the university. We took our dog, and the fenced back yard was perfect for a quick visit in the early morning or late at night. The owner Shaun is very responsive and the home is so welcoming. If our travels ever bring us this way again, we will definitely stay in this home again.
