Best VRBO in Missoula

This was by far the best VRBO I have ever stayed in! The host had everything and more for your stay! The location was perfect to downtown Missoula. It was super clean and the check in process was great! I’ve never slept so good on vacation! I will be back next year when I run in the Missoula Marathon

Wow! Do not hesitate to book this lovely, well appointed, and well tended home. I say home because it seemed like home from the moment we stepped in. Down to the smallest detail everything was spectacular! The yard is beautiful with a giant Ponderosa pine out front. Ample off street parking. completes the package. Diana is an extremely responsive and genuine host. We’ve rented many houses in Missoula, this was by far the best! Convenient to all of Missoula’s activities. Hope to stay there again.

2 night summer stay

Very clean and well finished house. Kitchen extremely well stocked. Rattle Snake area is very pretty. Very close to UM campus and down town- further from the mall and other retail (that’s just FYI for others not as familiar with Missoula.) We would love to stay in this house again sometime when we visit family in the area. Thanks!

This was our second visit to this lovely home, which was just perfect for our family. I can't emphasize enough the difference between an obvious rental, and an actual home. This place is spotless, yet so warm and welcoming, and the hosts are wonderful. My 81-year-old mother has some mobility issues, and the property is well-suited with easy stairs at the entrance, wide passageways, and a walk-in shower. You often see parasailers from the back porch, and there's a short walk to a lovely path along Rattlesnake Creek. Remarkable.

Work Retreat

My coworkers and I had a wonderfully productive time getting together to work by day, socialize in the late afternoon, and have more than adequate privacy from each other in the evening, during our stay. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom and plenty of privacy and space. Check-in was a breeze and expectations were clear. The kitchen/dining and living area had great space and most amenities (aside from personal wants/needs). Coffee/espresso needs were met through 2 different systems and included a grinder and frother. The backyard was welcoming and suited for relaxing and cooking, as desired. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We appreciated the residence immensely and hope it’s available for our yearly work retreats in the future.

I am from Montana, I have lived elsewhere but came back to enjoy all that Montana offers. I love to fly fish, hike, mountain bike and spend time with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

The Rattlesnake is a unique neighborhood where each house has its own character, and it is one of Missoula's Five Valleys. The access to outdoor activities is abundant. There are lots of trails and its close to the University of Montana, Fishing Guide pickups, Downtown, and the Kettlehouse Amphitheater.

What makes this property unique

It is on a quiet one-way street. It is located 3 minutes off of I-90, so easy access to all that Missoula offers.
