Views for days

Our modern farmhouse mountain home has the most beautiful view of Missoula and yet so close to downtown and the university. There is so much space inside (5000 square feet) with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms to make your stay comfortable. The formal living room, separate dining room, and huge great room including a family room, eating area, and breakfast nook along with a huge kitchen with top of the line appliances will help make you all feel at home away from home. Outside our home you will find plenty to do without even driving with a hiking trail outside the front door that leads to the Sousa Trail and the Barnmeyer Loop with an overlook that will take your breath away along with connections to the new Dean Stone Mountain trail (over 12 miles of hiking trails). It has the best of both worlds- Montana mountain life, yet close to everything downtown Missoula has to offer!

Fantastic Missoula location and setting

Our entire party was very happy with the Missoula Lookout. Location/view, accommodations (especially the kitchen) - all were great. Laundry outside of the master suite would be nice to have, but was not a hindrance.

This property is so spacious and the views are truly stunning. There’s something about having your ears pop from altitude when you drive home from town that makes this a first for us.

Beautiful Home!

We had a great time at this beautiful home! Very comfortable house with an unbelievable view. We even had deer in the backyard many mornings. The host was very quick to respond to the only question I had about the fireplace. Will probably stay again.

Girl's Getaway

Great spot for a getaway with the ladies in my family. The house was clean and had the best stocked kitchen of any VRBO in which I have stayed. We were close to downtown and hiking trails. The fall views were fabulous, and it was fun to watch the deer wandering around the property. I only wish it had been a little warmer so that we could enjoy a fire on the patio in the evening!

Beautiful house, couldn’t have asked for more!

We had a group in town for a friends 50th birthday celebration weekend and 6 of us recently stayed at Joy’s property and the house is amazing! Everything you could possibly need was there but as great as the house was, Joy was even better as a host. She responded very quickly when we had a couple questions come up and her welcome letter was very thorough and had all the information you would need. We will definitely stay in this house again when we come back to Montana. Highly recommended!

Wedding weekend

We gathered family from Maine, Florida and Utah for a wedding in the area. The home accommodated our large group comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped to cook our meals together and the patio offered amazing views at all times. Deer frequent the property and drink from the pond! Some from our group chose to hit the trail leaving from the driveway. All around we had a wonderful time in the home. No complaints.

An absolutely stellar property

If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Missoula that is modern, clean, has plenty of room, and with a view that won't quit? This is the place to stay. We had a gathering of friends and family, six of us in all, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. It had everything we needed and more. The owners were easy to communicate with, and responded right away to our questions. 5 stars, across the board.

Missoula Lookout

We really wanted to love this house. It has an amazing location up on the hill overlooking the whole valley. The house is huge and has lots of room for spreading out and several rooms too. The first thing we noticed was that the front door doesn't shut completely unless you use the bolt lock. This was a little inconvenient. There are so many light switches to use and some don't seem to go anywhere just a little confusing. The fireplace in the room with the piano and up in the bedroom weren't working but we did enjoy the one in the family room along with the air hockey table. We tried using the Sauna but the temperature, even after adding more time, never really got hot enough to get a good sweat. We also wanted to use the bikes, but both of their tires were flat and there was no pump to use. In one room upstairs there is a hole in the ceiling where you can see insulation and into the attic along with a hole in the wall behind the chair. Several of the cabinets don't shut correctly and many of them had glue put on them which looked a little bit tacky. We also enjoyed the firepit outside the last night as the wood provided was nice and dry and caught very quickly. I think this place could be really nice with a little TLC and I do realize it is a rental, I just think for the price tag that things could be in better shape and amenities that are being provided should work properly.

Wonderful views of Missoula

The location was private but conveniently close to town. You can’t beat the views and the layout of the house was perfect for our group of nine. There’s a walking trail close to the house plus a well stocked entertainment area with an air hockey game. We really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Joy Brooke

Host profile image
Hi, I am Joy and an educator for over 25 years. Our family now lives in Big Sky, Montana after living in Kirkland, WA, Quito, Ecuador, and Missoula, Montana. Our family loves to adventure so we've always loved staying in other homes and now are excited to share our homes. Thanks for choosing our beautiful home. We really love sharing in others special moments.

Why they chose this property

This property is like no other. There are few places in Missoula that have views, a hiking trail outside their front door, but are close to everything in 5-10 minutes or less. It also is a huge 5,000 square foot space that allows all to have their personal space but come together to share in lovely dinners and moments together.
