Super nice apartment. Close to a very nice grocery store. Bike trail entrance in the neighborhood. Quiet complex equipped with everything you would need. This is our third year visiting. We look forward to our next visit. A great home away from home.

Quiet apartment, warm & comfy, with a respectfully hands-off host. We stayed several days, left and there were no checkout procedures, but everything was just right! Enough power/outlets in the bedroom & good kitchen amenities.

About the host
Hosted by Ava Patricia Cloud
Our four generations have combined creative forces to offer this great little vacation gem. We have been blessed to live in beautiful Montana for 20 + years and continue to pinch ourselves daily. We come originally from the east & west coasts and spent 20 years in Alaska before finding our home in the Bitterroot Valley. We have 3 daughters, our son-in-law, and our beautiful grandchildren living in Missoula. We live in our country home 35 miles southeast of Missoula outside of Stevensville, MT. Thank you for visiting our site.
Why they chose this property
Spending time with our children & grandchildren is high priority for us, besides finding Missoula a beautiful, active & compelling community. There is something to do every night if you want to go out and about, or stay at home and enjoy the cool summer & cozy winter nights. Missoula may be small by city standards but it has a huge heart that expresses itself in community events, Saturday & Sunday Farmers Markets, art, music, theatre, dance, Griz football, Osprey baseball, great food & beverages all abound.
What makes this property unique
Attention to detail, fine craftsmanship & location, helped us fall in love with the Catlin Gem Apartment. Inside is a well appointed and cozy space filled with comfortable and interesting furnishings. Step outside and within minutes you are either in the heart of the bustling downtown area, hiking up Mount Jumbo, floating or fishing the Clark Fork, Bitterroot and Blackfoot Rivers or exploring, hiking or downhill/cross country skiing the Rattlesnake wilderness, Snowbowl, Lost Trail, Pattee Canyon or Blue Mountain. Entertainment, relaxation and exploration are only bounded by the imagination!
