Majestic location

My wife and I took a winter (Dec 27-31) vacation and found our stay to be convenient, comfortable, and accommodating. We appreciate the cleanliness of the space and ease of access. It has great views of the valley across the road where wildlife roam. We will visit again.

Perfect!

My wife and I stayed 4 nights while I had to attend a conference in town. It is just as described in the listing and the reviews are spot on. It was a 10 minute drive to the conference, but allowed us peace and quiet in a wonderful setting. We would absolutely stay there again and it will be our “go to” for future visits to Missoula.

Perfect place for a few days stay

We loved staying here. The bed was great, the place was very clean and Roxy was there when we arrived. She walked us through the unit showing us where things were. The only thing missing is a toaster.

Visit old friends

It was most enjoyable. The only thing (and this is only because I traveled with a friend who has problems with steps) is that the unit is in a walk-out basement and to get down is difficult for someone with limited mobility.

Beautiful, clean place, however..

Overall we had a decent stay. The place was clean, well stocked, well located, and easy to find. However, this unit does not have temperature control. The owners living upstairs control the AC and turn it on and off as they want. Well, when its 100° outside and the AC gets turned off at 9pm, it makes for a very hot night, no matter how long it was running during the day. So if you like to stay cool and control your own temperature I would recommend finding somewhere else.. Also, the shower, despite having good pressure, is very small and if you're over 150lbs it's pretty tight. The door is also very hard to lock from the outside. I was only able to lock it once the entire time we were there.

Montana full studio apt.

Carefully appointed. Immaculately clean. Many amenities included - many hot beverage options, toiletries provided, full size refrigerator, cooktop, any kitchen items you might need plus W/D. Lots of space, beautiful view in a great, easily-accessed location. Beautiful path to walk nearby. Remember, this is a basement apt, so you will hear sound from above. If you have a bad back, you might find the mattress and sofa a bit soft. We thoroughly enjoyed coming back after a full day of activities to relax and recoup in such a lovely spot.

Gorgeous views!

The property was located out of the congestion of downtown and very peaceful. Comfortable and spacious with fireplace too. Plenty of parking and we felt very safe. One thing we couldn’t find was a toaster but not a big deal, just putting it out there. Tricky to lock up from the outside until you figure it out. Thank you so much for this experience. Roxann was very communicative and helpful.

Extraordinary Property with breathtaking views!

My husband and I were coming to Missoula for our nieces wedding. The property and location was perfect for our trip. Upon our arrival, Roxy met us and showed us the tv & fireplace operations. The place was clean, well appointed and had pretty much anything we needed in the bathroom and the kitchenette. Queen bed was very comfy with soft linens and plenty of pillows. If you are looking for something quiet & peaceful but also 5 minutes from town, this is the place! Will definitely rebook again next time we are in Missoula.

Perfect Place for One or Two People!!!

I stayed here for two nights for a pickleball tournament. The property is exactly as described in the listing. Roxy gave a special touch by meeting when I arrived and walked me through the accommodations. She also provided a couple of water bottles sparkling water and beer as well -very nice touch! This place is perfect for one or two people and a short drive (under 10 minutes) to U of M and the downtown area. There is a gorgeous walking/biking trail across from the property as well. I would stay here again for sure.

Worth Way more than we paid

This property surpasses the convenience of a hotel room. It's spacious, fully equipped for light housekeeping, laundry and good sized bathroom. It's on the edge of the city, with easy access to the I90 and the main north south corridor. The value was more than we paid which was less than comparable hotels. Just stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Craig & Roxy Van Bockel

My husband and I have been providing vacation rentals and long-term rentals since 1999. We operated multiple vacation rentals on the Big Island of Hawaii and Missoula, MT since 2004. If you need something, we will definitely try to obtain it for you. We've lived in Missoula off and on since the late 1970s and permanently moved back in 2017. If you need some local information about the National Parks or what sights to see - please ask! Hiking, cross-country skiing, and bird watching are our favorite outdoor activities.

Why they chose this property

In 2020 we bought this wonderful 5-acre parcel on Grant Creek Road. Up the mountain behind us is National Wildlife land and Forest Service land which means you will probably see wildlife daily. This is a larger home with a great view from both our upstairs unit and the downstairs walkout studio which we remodeled in 2022 as a vacation rental! It is a 600 SF studio (bigger than many homes!) with a private entrance, private shower bathroom, and new flooring, paint, and cabinets. We hope that you enjoy our location as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

We love the wildlife we see both on our property and when walking the many hiking trails near us. Grant Creek hiking and biking trail is just across Grant Creek Rd from our property. What we enjoy the most is, that we are in the country but only 10 minutes from shopping on Reserve St. and less than 15 minutes from St Pat's Hospital via Interstate. Snow Bowl Ski area is just up the road from us! And don't forget to go to the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in Missoula. It's been voted one of the best in the country. The music venues here are great! And of course, we have the University of Montana in town and Grizzly fans are welcome!
