About this property

Modern home on gorgeous 7-acres along the infamous Blackfoot River

Perched along the Blackfoot River, this modern recently renovated home is on a gorgeous 7-acre historic homestead property dating from the late 1800s. A dream spot for anglers, adventurers, and those looking for some R&R in a serene location, this property is a true escape, yet only minutes from Missoula. While easily accessible from the highway, the property lies tucked away by a mixed conifer forest, a decades old apple orchard, the original homestead cabin, a large barn and our Zen Zone featuring a cedar sided hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge.

This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home boasts a chef's kitchen, breakfast bar, dining area and living room with large picture windows. Each bedroom has French doors that open to the sound of the river, leading to an outside patio with ample seating and great views of the river and mountainside. The master bathroom has a large soaking tub with walk-in closet. Grill out on the patio or pull up a chair to enjoy your morning coffee while soaking in the views of the Blackfoot River. Downstairs is a large family room to unwind in after a day of adventure, watch the Smart TV, or play boardgames.

Located just a few miles up Highway 200 from the historic mill town of Bonner, this home offers great access to outdoor adventures along the Blackfoot River and the Seeley/Swan valley. This retreat sits right along the Blackfoot River and offers anglers lots of fishing access, boaters the ability to raft/kayak/inner tube, and adventurers the opportunity to walk the shores and find quiet beaches to lounge and swim at. The property is pushed back from the highway so you feel secluded and tucked away.

The KettleHouse Amphitheater, with outdoor concerts and a brewery, is only a few miles away. It is 15 min from the airport, 10 min to downtown Missoula for easy access to all amenities and restaurants, and 2.5hr to Glacier National Park. The property is also 20 minutes to Lubrecht Rec area where you can find hiking trails in the summer and cross country ski in the winter. Seeley Lake, famous for its numerous lakes, is just a 45 minute drive from the property as well.

Our smart-locks offer a seamless check-in process. We are available 24 hours a day to help in any way, and are happy to interact as much or as little the guest prefers. Be aware of seasonal changes. Although the driveway is maintained, winter driving conditions may apply.

We’re excited to share that we’ve recently completed the addition of a beautiful sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge area. We call this space the Zen Zone and it's a perfect place to unwind and unplug anytime of the year! To ensure that everyone enjoys the space and that we can maintain the balance between guest access and private use, we have a few guidelines and a booking system in place. Depending on timing, we can also arrange an on-site massage for you during your stay. How our Zen Zone works: You can book the space for any time between 6am and 10pm. Just message me with your preferred time, and we’ll confirm availability and block the space off for you so you have the space to yourself.

This is a perfect spot to work remotely with high speed Starlink access. The barn, garage, and homestead are for owners storage use only. We do allow dogs with an extra non-refundable pet cleaning fee.

If you would like a ride back and forth to see a concert at the KettleHouse Amphitheater, please message me and I can help arrange a ride for you and your guests for an additional fee.

We live on site in the original homestead cabin and are available if needed, but will keep to ourselves for your privacy. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or needs that might arise.

Peace of Paradise.

Kate goes out of her way to make sure everything is just so, and the house is immaculate. The views are divine, the space and vibe is incredible. I hope to come back in the summer and just sit and watch the birds. Oh... and you HAVE to save time for the very Zenned out soak and sauna's. ( for an even more Zen experience read " the Dharma Bums, found in the library in the basement) -- This property has earned the care it gets and it's so lovely to see people having esteem and grace for the land itself. 24000 stars. -- the kind of place no one could ever complain about.

Missoula and The Blackfoot River

OMG!! Talk about a gorgeous view and piece of property! The house was so nice and cozy:) It was well equipped, very clean, and we loved the floor plan. I absolutely need to get pillows like the ones in the master bedroom😴 The house was a quick 15 minute drive to downtown. Kate was very kind and easy to talk too. We would positively stay here again when we return to Missoula.

Great getaway just outside of Missoula

We were looking to rent something near Missoula but not in town. This is a fabulous private location on the Blackfoot River that feels so far away yet is just minutes from Bonner. Everything was as advertised, super clean, convenient, well stocked. We had a lovely time and I would revisit!

Exceptional!

Stop searching and book this property. Everything about the house and property is exceptional. The short walk from the back of the house to the river made our fly fishing easy and productive. Beautiful stretch of the Blackfoot. Short drive to town but you feel as if you are out in the gorgeous MT Big Sky country because…you are. Kate is a gem of a host. This wonderful experience sets the bar high for our next fishing trip! Truly exceptional in every way.

U of M graduation weekend

This property is absolutely amazing. The best VRBO experience we’ve had to date. We could not have asked for a better place to celebrate our daughter’s graduation weekend from University of Montana. It was comfortable for all of us, including grandparents with mobility issues, stunning views, and Kate was absolutely an amazing host who made sure everything was perfect for our special weekend! You will not regret staying at this beautiful home from the sound of the river to the hummingbirds, beautiful trees, comfortable beds, beautifully decorated, truly a home away from home and the fresh air will do anyone some good!!

Beautiful spot, great host, wish it could be a secret

Wonderful property. Right on the river. Beautiful views, great yard for playing games. The porch has great tables and nice resin chairs for sitting out and enjoying evenings with friends. Doors off the bedrooms onto the porch provide a really nice resort feel. Super close to town. You can be at a breakfast restaurant in 5 minutes. This is a great find. Book it if it’s available. Your host will be super attentive should you need anything. We didn’t actually need anything but our host checked in by text each day just make sure we were having fun and to offer local assistance for resources. This is a great property.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Harrison

Host profile image
Hi, I live in Missoula and work at St Patrick Hospital as a nurse. On my free days I pack my time in mountain biking, trail running, going to music festivals (love the outdoor KettleHouse amphitheater), floating the river, and learning how to garden. I take pride in my home and love creating space for friends/family to gather and heal in the quiet spaces that Montana has to offer.

What makes this property unique

This property is right along the Blackfoot River. Its close to town, but still feels really remote and quiet. We also have a really relaxing sauna, hot tub and cold plunge area we share with guests.
