About this property
Relax at The Fox Watch, a cozy 2BR 1BA Missoula apartment just 6 miles from downtown. Enjoy mountain views, fire pit nights, and seasonal fox sightings after days of Montana adventure.
Welcome to The Fox Watch! A peaceful 2BR retreat just 6 miles from downtown Missoula. Enjoy the peaceful mountain views, relax by the fire pit, and keep an eye out for the occasional fox! After exploring and skiing Montana Snowbowl, hiking local trails, or KettleHouse concerts, unwind in comfort and luxury. This beautifully decorated apartment has everything you need for your Montana adventure!
We prioritize clear and efficient communication during your stay. For all questions or concerns, please message us directly through your booking platform. If you need immediate assistance, you can reach your host using the contact number provided in the digital guidebook. We're here to ensure you have a relaxing and enjoyable stay!
True to its name, The Fox Watch offers a front-row seat to Montana’s wildlife — it’s not uncommon to spot a curious fox passing through the property, especially in the early morning or at dusk. Surrounded by peaceful mountain views and open skies, this home provides the perfect balance of quiet retreat and easy access to Missoula’s vibrant scene.
Just 6 miles from downtown Missoula, you’ll find a town known for its lively blend of outdoor adventure, local charm, and artsy energy. Stroll along the Clark Fork River trail, catch some river surfing on Brennan's wave, grab coffee at The Dram Shop or Black Coffee Roasting Co., and explore Caras Park, a great place to spend the day riding the carousel with kids, and where farmers markets and live music light up the weekends.
Outdoor lovers can hike or mountain bike nearby peaks like Blue Mountain, Mount Sentinel, or Lolo Peak, or hit the slopes at Montana Snowbowl for excellent skiing and snowboarding in winter. Catch a concert under the stars at the KettleHouse Amphitheater, just 14 miles away, or float the Clark Fork for a true local experience.
From fly-fishing on Rock Creek, to boutique shopping and dining downtown, Missoula offers a little of everything — and The Fox Watch is your cozy home base for it all.

It’s the perfect balance of nature and culture, and we love helping guests experience everything that makes this mountain town so special.
