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.

The Perfect Spot

We so enjoyed our stay …the location is wonderful and close to everything. Easy to walk out the door and either go for a trail walk or enjoy the quiet neighborhood. The house is well equipped and so very cozy. It truly is the perfect spot !

Home away from home - that comfortable

This VRBO was the most comfotable ever due to its spaciousness, appointments and extra touches. There was plenty of comfortable seating in the gathering area, the kitchen had everything imaginable and everything was CLEAN. The beds were very nice as were the linens. Its rare to find location and comfort at this level. Absolutely would book again.

Beautiful home

The property was beautiful. It truly felt warm and inviting. The kitchen was stocked with all kinds of spices and necessities. Diana was very helpful and was very quick to respond. We traveled down to Darby to checkout the Yellowstone Ranch which was only an hour away. On the way back we were able to check out Hamilton and get some ice cream. I would highly recommend staying at this home!

Immaculate hose in rattlesnake

What a warm welcoming beautiful home. The house is spacious and immaculately clean. The master bath has a luxurious tub for relaxing after long days . Wildlife roamed freely through the neighborhood and we even saw the northern lights from the back yard ! The owner was very helpful and quick to respond with any questions. You will not regret staying in this home.

The house is located in a cute neighborhood that feels very safe. There is a pretty view of the mountains from the back yard. From the house, loads of trails are easily accessed, and downtown is a 5 min drive or 15 min. walk. The house is decorated very tastefully. It has every amenity imaginable and is impeccably clean. The property manager is lovely. She’s thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. I’m fastidious when it comes to staying in holiday rentals, and I would highly recommend this house. It is a fantastic rental and excellent value for money.

BEST HOUSE IN MISSOULA

This home is fantastic!! The beds are comfortable, the living space is as well. Love the open floor plan and the two bedrooms in the main level. This house has it all! The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we have stayed in which helps when you cook a lot. The open Floor plan makes it so easy to be in the kitchen cooking and still be able to talk with everyone in the living area. The rattlesnake area is beautiful as well. Diana is amazing!! She responds so fast to emails, questions etc. She makes the stay that much better!! Hope to be able to meet you in person next time!! Thanks again for everything !

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.
