We had a great time in Missoula! The house was great close to everything you could want including the University of Montana, downtown, grocery stores, hiking trails, and major bicycle paths. We tried not to drive as much as possible and walked or used our bicycles. Perfect location for us!

This was my second time staying at this Vrbo and have enjoyed both of my stays! The host is very nice, the area is very walkable, place is clean and is a great place to stay with a dog with the backyard, dog park and river walk so close. Would definitely stay again!

Missoula Perfection

This is the second year my wife and I have stayed at Shaun’s house. We returned because the house is in a great location, walking distance to the University and downtown, a great neighborhood, and because the house has everything you could need. Shaun is a great host, easy to contact and very accommodating. We definitely hope to stay again!

Perfect spot

This little house has been lovingly updated and had everything we needed for our five days in Missoula. Comfortable beds, a wonderful walk in shower, a fenced yard for our little dog, and conveniently located - right off Broadway, walk to the University, the Children’s Theater, the new Library, grocery store, and Finn (the perfect place for a drink on the patio overlooking the river.
