About this property

Captain's Quarters

Solo individuals, couples and small families (couple w/up to 2 children) will enjoy a sensual bedroom suite with a comfy queen size bed, as well as a cozy living space with sofabed (queen size), a plush chair, a large ottoman, a flat screen Smart TV, a work/eating space, kitchen, an adjoining full bathroom and a sunny patio with a cafe table and chairs for three - perfect for enjoying morning coffee or an evening beverage.

All wood finishings and counters have been artfully hand crafted by using reclaimed local beetle-kill wood. The craftsman who built this cottage came from generations of boat builders and this skill can be recognized from the boat cabin, galley and head feel of the place. Hence, we named this space "The Captain's Quarters".

The Captains Quarters are located at the back of a property that is shared with the owners home and backyard. Guests have access to the shared backyard space and have the use of a carport that small cars can access from the back alley. Vegetation and blinds provide a lot of privacy for The Captain's Quarters.

The space is ideal for people visiting the University due to its nearby proximity and available parking.

Cozy Guest House

We loved our stay in this Cozy Guesthouse. It is close the University and downtown. The decor is a creative take on a sail boat, with great attention to detail. It has everything you need while visiting Missoula. April was great to work with, and we look forward to returning.

Captain’s Quarters unique

This little cabin was specially designed by a boat builder and the details were so much fun! Adorable! Location was perfect for it was walking distance to family members. This quiet neighborhood is also great, with houses built in the 1940s and a great park nearby. The owners were easy to contact and accommodating.

Unique property

A unique and interesting property in the University District very convenient for visiting family in the area. Everything one needs is within reach; it is a well planned and creatively organized spaced quiet. The bedroom is tight, probably not practical for larger people, but the bed is comfortable. We would stay here again.

Very comfortable, fun, little bungalow

Captain's Quarters is amazing! The vibe is comfort. The multiple blankets are plenty. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with what your need to cook for the amount of space. The bed is very comfortable. The various light sources to set the mood are very fun. The property is very accessible and convenient. Highly recommend!

Lovely little spot to call home for a few days

The little house is decorated like a ship! It has some great wood features, and I like the cool fabric with a little bit of shimmer on the walls. Host was great, responsive and accommodating, the yard was lovely. The bedroom is a little tight - if you are a larger person, it might be too small. The living space was pretty generous for one person - lots of room to spread out, make food, take some work meetings, and watch a little TV in the eve.

Great for a couple or single person stay!

It is so homey and cozy! Really neat layout and very unique! The garden in the common area is like a little oasis. There was a lilac tree which added a terrific scent to the property. The bed is high up and kind of hard to get into if youre short like me, but it was super comfy and had down pillows which was awesome! There is no built in AC unit but there is a ceiling fan and they give you one upon request. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would stay here again!

Stayed here for a month!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a month when we first moved to Missoula and needed a place to stay while finding somewhere permanent. Lisa is the best host! She even offered to do our laundry (we spared her, but the thought was really sweet!) There was plenty of room for us both and a nice comfy living area to lounge in. The location is THE BEST. Short drive to downtown, the supermarket, gas, etc. We would just walk a few minutes to get anything needed. Overall highly recommend staying here! And very thankful to Lisa for having us! 🤗

Perfect Missoula Spot

This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay right in Missoula. It’s a great location for exploring the beautiful city and short drive to many hiking spots. The photos don’t do the backyard or house justice, such a peaceful spot. The owners were incredibly easy to communicate with and kind.

Quirky cozy cottage!

All in all the cottage was great! Warm and welcoming! I enjoyed my stay! The backyard which I’m sure was beautiful in the summer was kind of an obstacle course! I usually came back in the dark and had to use the flashlight on my phone because it was quite dark. I got used to the stone walkways but had to be very careful!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Gilbert

Host profile image
I own and manage vacation and retreat accommodations, farm stays and destination experiences in Northwest Montana. Prior to my family’s relocation to Montana, I enjoyed a Public Health career planning, implementing and evaluating a variety of prevention programs in Santa Barbara. I presently work from home, managing my family’s household, property, livestock animals, and our retreat and vacation accommodations. I love to create the perfect space for groups, families, couples, and individuals to break away from their ordinary lives to reconnect with each other and their source of inspiration on our wooded property against the Swan Mountains and in our newly bought property in Missoula. I also love to write and have recently retooled my public health writing skills to write creative non-fiction. I particularly enjoy writing about the natural world and about climate, social and personal change. I am currently working on a memoir that weaves these themes together. When not working or at school, my partner, son and I love to go out to eat delicious food, prepare meals together at home, watch good movies or TV series, play board/card games, kayak, bike, ski, and swim. We love to travel for soccer tournaments, to visit with extended family, and attend writing retreats.

Why they chose this property

We recently purchased this property to live in during the school year, while our son attends Sussex School here in Montana. We were particularly drawn to Missoula’s historical and desirable centrally situated University District. Old, giant trees and a mix of mansion like homes and small bungalows offer a storybook setting. Students, professors and long-time residents make this neighborhood a melting pot and known for being quiet, safe, and family friendly. Right around the corner is the fun filled Bonner Park with tennis and basketball courts, a dug-out, a concert stage, a playground, a water deck, and plenty of grassy space. In the summers, guests will enjoy lovely musical performances in this park every week! Just blocks away is the University of Montana and Mount Sentinel’s hiking trailhead. Heading in the other direction there's the popular hip-strip and river trail and just across the bridge is downtown Missoula with its plethora or restaurants, bars, breweries, coffee houses, music venues, playhouses, boutiques, open air markets, festivals and more. Most everything is within walking and biking distances!

Very bike friendly streets and bike paths along the river make this area ideal for those who prefer biking as their mode of transportation and recreation. This home is close to free public transit. Also its proximity to a local market, eatery, bakery and parks throughout safe neighborhoods make walking an option as well.

Whether it’s a football game or a concert, living in this neighborhood puts you right in the center of it all. Old, giant trees and big beautiful homes offer a storybook setting. Students, professors and long-time residents make this neighborhood the melting pot of the community.

Missoula offers a unique "nature meets culture" feel and we've come to love it for its easy-going outdoorsy life with all the creature comforts of a hip University metropolitan city.
