The vacation rental was as described and more. It was comfortable, clean, quiet, and well-appointed. We enjoyed staying here for 5 nights, and after a long traveling agenda I feel we could finally relax. The hosts were great and helped us a bit. We enjoyed the patio table and chairs, and the view was amazing. If we come back to Missoula we would definitely stay here. Highly recommended. We also loved Missoula!

Roxy was a pleasant woman who was good enough to show us the ropes, so to speak. My sister and I loved this quaint little home away from home. My only issue is that it's a basement studio and a little dark. That being said, I would still stay here again. I do recommend this little piece of Missoula as a place to stay!

The location was amazing, just 11 minutes from the heart of Missoula but it felt like a whole other world. Everything was pristine. The bed was comfy along with all the rest of the furniture. I loved having a washer and dryer. Roxy was a great host- very considerate and friendly. We will return on our next visit to Missoula.

About the host

Hosted by Craig & Roxy Van Bockel

Host profile image
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!
