Modern home with hot tub/sauna on 7-acres along the infamous Blackfoot River
Perched along the Blackfoot River, this modern recently renovated home is on a gorgeous 7-acre historic homestead property dating from the late 1800s. A dream spot for anglers, adventurers, and those looking for some R&R in a serene location, this property is a true escape, yet only minutes from Missoula. While easily accessible from the highway, the property lies tucked away by a mixed conifer forest, a decades old apple orchard, the original homestead cabin, a large barn and our Zen Zone featuring a cedar sided hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge.
This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home boasts a chef's kitchen, breakfast bar, dining area and living room with large picture windows. Each bedroom has French doors that open to the sound of the river, leading to an outside patio with ample seating and great views of the river and mountainside. The master bathroom has a large soaking tub with walk-in closet. Grill out on the patio or pull up a chair to enjoy your morning coffee while soaking in the views of the Blackfoot River. Downstairs is a large family room to unwind in after a day of adventure, watch the Smart TV, or play boardgames.
Located just a few miles up Highway 200 from the historic mill town of Bonner, this home offers great access to outdoor adventures along the Blackfoot River and the Seeley/Swan valley. This retreat sits right along the Blackfoot River and offers anglers lots of fishing access, boaters the ability to raft/kayak/inner tube, and adventurers the opportunity to walk the shores and find quiet beaches to lounge and swim at. The property is pushed back from the highway so you feel secluded and tucked away.
The KettleHouse Amphitheater, with outdoor concerts and a brewery, is only a few miles away. It is 15 min from the airport, 10 min to downtown Missoula for easy access to all amenities and restaurants, and 2.5hr to Glacier National Park. The property is also 20 minutes to Lubrecht Rec area where you can find hiking trails in the summer and cross country ski in the winter. Seeley Lake, famous for its numerous lakes, is just a 45 minute drive from the property as well.
Our smart-locks offer a seamless check-in process. We are available 24 hours a day to help in any way, and are happy to interact as much or as little the guest prefers. Be aware of seasonal changes. Although the driveway is maintained, winter driving conditions may apply.
We’re excited to share that we’ve recently completed the addition of a beautiful sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge area in a private spot overlooking the river. We call this space the Zen Zone and it's a perfect place to unwind and unplug anytime of the year! I only ask that you message me a day or so in advance when you are hoping to use the space. That ensures that I can respect your privacy and I don't do maintenance at that time or soak myself. You are the only guests that have access to the space. You can access the Zen Zone for a maximum of 3hr at a time between 6am and 10pm. Depending on scheduling, you can also arrange an on-site massage for you during your stay!
This is a perfect spot to work remotely with high speed Starlink access. The barn, garage, and homestead are for owners storage use only. We do allow dogs with an extra non-refundable pet cleaning fee.
We live on site in the original homestead cabin and are available if needed, but will keep to ourselves for your privacy. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or needs that might arise.

Special place !Beautiful home with easy access to river for fly fishing .Clean and AC kept us cool when inside (90s outside) Have added a sauna this year We will be back !
This was our second stay at the River House. Our adult age daughters joined us and loved the property and the Zen zone amenities. The outdoors are beautifully maintained by Kate and the house interior is updated, comfortable and brings a peace filled week beside the Blackfoot.
We were in town for a Memorial Service and this house, surrounding gardens, the river and the deer provided us with a peaceful retreat after several busy and emotional days. Thank you for everything, Kate.
The location is beautiful! There is so much room for everyone to spread out and enjoy nature, or circle in around a table and spend time together! We cannot thank you enough for making our Thanksgiving trip one to remember!
New favorite place to stay in Missoula! The house and grounds were perfect. Only minor negative is cell service can be choppy at times which seems to be common most places we have stayed when visiting Missoula.
We enjoyed EVERYTHING about our recent stay. The house was lovely and furnished so comfortably. We enjoyed listening to the river and stargazing at night on the deck. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and Kate was the best host ever!
We had a fantastic family vacation in this lovely home and cannot wait to return. House is beautiful and clean and location to town and the river is ideal. Kate was wonderful.
This is a warm and welcoming home on a lovely property next to the river. The host was wonderful to work with, and if you visit, we recommend having Tai come out and give massages. You can get the information from the host. Tai has magic hands! This trip was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you, Kate!
We were looking to rent something near Missoula but not in town. This is a fabulous private location on the Blackfoot River that feels so far away yet is just minutes from Bonner. Everything was as advertised, super clean, convenient, well stocked. We had a lovely time and I would revisit!
We can't thank Kate enough for such a memorable stay at her gorgeous property. The property was everything as described, and more. And Kate was a great host, getting back to us quickly with all our questions. This truely is a special place and we hope to return again soon.
Perfect house, down to earth host with great communication, just down the road from Missoula, fishing out the back door. What’s not to like. A week my friends and I will reminisce about for years. Can’t wait to go back.
We have traveled extensively over the last 10 years, staying at Vrbo’s. This was by far the most spectacular one yet. Home was outstanding, property perfect. Our host Kate, couldn’t have been more helpful.
Looking forward to hopefully a months stay next summer. Thanks for everything Kate
Hope to enjoy that Hot Tub next year!
This home, its location, the surrounding property, and the river, is a rare find. If you can book this place, do it quickly as once it becomes known, I sense it will be occupied regularly.
Simply beautiful. Thank you Kate!!
OMG!! Talk about a gorgeous view and piece of property! The house was so nice and cozy:) It was well equipped, very clean, and we loved the floor plan. I absolutely need to get pillows like the ones in the master bedroom😴 The house was a quick 15 minute drive to downtown. Kate was very kind and easy to talk too. We would positively stay here again when we return to Missoula.

About the host
Hosted by Kate Harrison
Hi, I live in Missoula and work at St Patrick Hospital as a nurse. On my free days I pack my time in mountain biking, trail running, going to music festivals (love the outdoor KettleHouse amphitheater), floating the river, and learning how to garden. I take pride in my home and love creating space for friends/family to gather and heal in the quiet spaces that Montana has to offer.
