About this property

Cozy Bungalow in University District

Conveniently situated in the historic University District, you’ll find this adorable 1940’s bungalow to be a welcome haven, its wildly whimsical backyard a refreshing refuge, and its location the perfect landing and taking off spot for all that Missoula and the surrounding environs have to offer!

Couples or small families have ample room to spread out indoors and outdoors, making themselves at home at this Missoula home-away-from-home. Upon entry, guests will find a large living room with comfy couches, a large screen TV, gas fireplace, a portable AC, and a high 2-top table and chairs perfect for card games. The master bedroom boasts a comfy king size bed, bedside table, a large 6-drawer dresser, ample step in closet, and a sitting pouf. A second bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed that is great for children or another couple, and also has a large-6 drawer dresser, bedside table, small desk and chair and a walk in closet.

High-speed internet and a quiet office space allow guests to work or attend school remotely behind a closed door, and If an additional bed is needed, there is chaise lounge that can be used as a single bed for a young or small person.

Couples or young siblings will also enjoy a walk-in shower with dual rain shower heads in the updated bathroom. Those who enjoy cooking will love the fully equipped kitchen, also updated with granite counters and new appliances, and there is ample space for six persons to dine in the attached but separate dining room. Original features of the home include wood floors throughout and cove ceilings. The art and decor is inspired by Montana's wildlife and rustic living.

There is also an unfinished basement room with a wood stove, a queen bed, chair and desk, and a small half bathroom. It's not glamorous but it's a place to cool down from the summer heat and the wood stove keeps it toasty in the winters. Teens seem to really like the private space.

Guests both young and old will be delighted with the whimsical backyard that includes a covered veranda with comfy outdoor furniture, an open patio with a fire pit, a lawn large enough to play a game of corn-hole beanbag toss, a garden full of flowers, herbs and fruit trees, and a waterfall studded pond.

Property was clean, and very nice. Had a great feel and Lisa made it easy and stayed in touch in case we had any needs. We were there for fly fishing and this was a comfortable retreat after a long day on the water. Everything you need

Host profile image
We are Monica and Lisa and our son Morgan. We purchased this home to live in during the school year and to offer it as a vacation rental to Missoula visitors over the summer, winter and spring breaks and occasional long weekends. We also own and manage Wild Swan Retreat in Bigfork which is where our permanent home is and boasts two craftsman style vacation rentals in a forested sanctuary against the Swan Mountain Range. Please find us online to plan your perfect Montana vacation. Look for Wild Swan Retreat on the web.

We are available to answer your questions or address any needs that may arise remotely, and are occasionally occupying the cottage at the back of this property's lot during the summer.
