Downtown Missoula Condo- In the Historic Bab's Building

Brand New Downtown Bab's Condo, Luxury Vacation Rental in Missoula, everything is right here!

Kindly note that we also have two 1 bedroom condos in the Bab's, vrbo listing #488628 and #577475

This premium 331 sq ft studio condo is located in the historic and elegantly restored Bab's building. The charismatic Babs, built in 1905, will take you to the soul of the Missoula community in a heartbeat. Centrally located on Missoula's vibrant Hip Strip, the Babs is surrounded by the city's best restaurants and bakeries. Everything is just a walk away.

The luxury studio condo has been completely remodeled and thoughtfully designed for a very slick, contemporary, but homey 'Industrial feel' and is ideal for out of town visitors looking to explore Missoula and the surrounding area. Completely new, natural and clean interior materials and a big egress window bring lots of natural light to the space. New appliances and other new amenities are complimented by the original sheet rock and brick walls reminding visitors of the old times. The condo comes with a spacious private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen with solid beech wood counter tops, and a comfortable queen-sized bed. The condo compliments also high speed wireless internet, HD flat screen TV and three person couch, which folds down into a two person sofa sleeper.

Along with this clean, comfortable and secure condo come the additional onsite features for relaxation and entertainment:
- An entirely renovated, communal basement lounge including an official sized pool table, a big screen Cable TV and comfortable seating. Also an icebox, sink, toilet, and washer and dryer are easily accessible.
- A classic, fenced garden with a large communal patio including chairs, tables, benches and a propane Viking grill.

Kindly note: Families with kids welcome! Available for guest use are: a pack and play crib, a high chair, an umbrella stroller, some boos and toys.

Thanksgiving Week
Fantastic condo in a beautiful building, my room was directly across the hall from the community space and I was able to prepare and share Thanksgiving with my daughter and her friends while she is out at UM. We had 7 folks over hanging out from campus 3-4 nights a week utilizing the community space! I brought my own turkey roaster but the space was completely furnished with everything we would need!!

Wonderfully located studio
This studio space was quite lovely and spaced out well for the size. Fully recommend staying!! Pros - good location, plenty of parking, great restaurants to walk to, dog friendly, full kitchen, and washers. Cons - heard anyone in the stairwell or lounge, shower likes to flood the bathroom if you're not careful, wish it had more cookware.

Very cozy!
We enjoyed our stay in the studio down stairs. Very clean and comfortable. Great location for coffee and meals. Short walk to the river and downtown. To the University is a nice walk also. Access in/out the back door was good. One suggestion would be a stool for the bed. We will be back!

Great location
The best part to this property is the location. It is close to everything. It is small, but has everything you need. The only thing I would recommend the owner to change is the futon. It is not a comfortable place to sit, nor sleep.

Just What the Doctor Ordered
My husband, our weiner dog, and I were coming off a camping trip down in Yellowstone, and very much appreciated the quiet and cozy and warm nature of this property. And the hot shower with amazing water pressure. And the coffee maker. And the walking distance to anything we really wanted. It was perfect.

Great Location/Great Stay
I had the opportunity to stay at the Bab's for 6 weeks this summer. The property suited my needs perfectly. The location was fabulous and I walked everywhere. Although I did have a vehicle, I rarely used it. Parking was not an issue. The studio was cozy. It is downstairs and can be dark but this did not bother me. It stayed cool in the summer heat. Noise above (footsteps) can be heard as other reviewers have mentioned but this was not a concern for me at all. I had no problems sleeping. The bed is wonderfully comfortable. The owners are very responsive. I would rent this studio again for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Jenni Rohrbach

Host profile image
Missoula, as for many people, is a special place to us. It is where we met as students in college and where we always knew we wanted to call home. After school, however, life and work took us to Asia, Finland and New York City, before we could both settle back in Missoula together and start our family. Now with our daughter Maija, we are pleased to share all that the Missoula community has to offer with visitors at our Bab’s condo.

Why they chose this property

Jenni first came to Missoula as an exchange student attending grad school from Finland. She immediately fell in love with the surrounding landscape and community but most of all Kurt. Kurt’s family is from the area and always knew the Montana lifestyle was the only one for him. They both enjoy the outdoor and cultural opportunities Missoula has to offer including skiing up Pattee Canyon, taking their daughter Maija to Missoula’s award winning Children’s Theater or enjoying Missoula’s restaurants, breweries and distilleries. They feel fortunate to call Missoula home and are pleased to share their love of the area with each of their guests.

What makes this property unique

The Babs is one of Missoula’s premiere historic buildings. Located near several of Missoula’s gems including downtown, the Kim Williams trail and the University, visitors can easily walk or bike to restaurants, shopping, bars, and hiking trails. Not to mention the best ice cream (The Big Dipper), pastries (Le Petite) and beer (Kettle House) are just around the corner. In addition, the condo itself is fully stocked with the comforts of home including a full-kitchen, children’s amenities (pack n’ play, high chair, books and toys as well as eating utensils). The Babs also offers a rec room with pool table and a garden area with a Viking grill available for guest use.
