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.

Perfect for Tournaments

It was the perfect location for our stay for the state tournaments at the University of Montana We could walk or ride and we’re just minutes away from whatever we needed. We were able to relax with a good cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening after games.. the coffee pot was a bit slow in brewing, but it did the job.

Perfect Location

The house fit our needs perfectly. The location is close to UM, so it made hiking the M and visiting campus a breeze. The house feels a little dated, but it’s an old house so that’s expected. The dog loved having a yard and Shaun provides poop bags, which is a nice touch. The only downside is not having direct access to the yard from the house. You have to take the dog into the back yard and then let them go. Wasn’t too big of deal since we watched our dog when she was out there anyway. We would stay again!

Perfect location for a Griz game weekend

This was the perfect house for our Griz football game weekend. It had everything we needed and the location couldn’t be beat. A quick walk over the footbridge and we were at the stadium. The fenced yard was a bonus for our dog. Looking forward to our next trip over to stay here again.
