Picked this location due to proximity to family living in Missoula. House was very clean, Missoula is adorable, lots of great parks and restaurants nearby.
It was a very nice property in a rather old neighborhood with only access being through the alley, but once you got used to that, it was not a problem. One of the more impressive things about the property believe it or not was that they used Charmin toilet paper as well, which I have never seen anywhere before as Charmin is expensive and one of the best. Overall, an outstanding place to stay.

Great Missoula Home
We had a great stay at the Owl House! The home was clean, comfortable, and is well laid out. The owners provided very detailed instructions about getting into the home and how to operate things like heat.
We were in town with friends for the Wilco concert. What a great spot! The property was perfect for the four of us. It was close to everywhere we needed to go. Although we weren’t there much, when we were, it was quiet. The kitchen was equipped and we arrived to a snack basket and drinks in the refrigerator. We will definitely try to stay here the next time we are in Missoula!

Wonderful!
This place was wonderful. It is new, clean and had everything we needed. Although AC would've been nice, it wasn't too bad, as fans are provided throughout the home. We would definitely stay here again.
This modern house is warm and cozy. It was beautifully decorated and had everything you could possibly need. The hosts have really thought of everything to make our stay perfect, including great communication prior to the stay and at the home.

Great place
From the start of our trip we had great communication with the host. This place is amazing has everything you need. Beautiful inside, close to everything, comfortable bed. Had a hiccup with airline with baggage not arriving and they opened up 2 more available days so we could extend our trip. Would definitely stay again. Montana is amazing!!!
Quiet and peaceful residential neighborhood close to everything and about 5 miles from campus. We stayed a week to visit the Montana countryside and embark on some adventures. The Owl’s Nest property had everything we needed and sufficient room to store dorm move in essentials. Would stay here again!!!
Funky place - as advertised. Communication with owners was good, great layout (3 bedrooms up and kitchen and tv room downstairs), great appliances and sufficient pots/pans, utensils etc. Super nice neighbors. Great location for our purposes (swim meet at splashmountain).

Comfortable and well appointed
The house was clean with comfortable, soft beds. The common area is spacious with plenty of seating. The alley is very narrow and it was difficult at times to get into the one parking space due to the yard fence and alley shrubs.
This is a lovely, modern, two-story house on the West side of town. Convenient quick drive to anywhere and easy to reach. Instructions for access, parking, and usage were very good. House was well stocked and great set up for a group of different family members to have their own space. Kitchen is wonderful. Everything worked. We were there for a wedding and would have appreciated a full-size ironing board but that's a small detail. Will definitely return.
