This place is a gem! We'll definitely try to return. Host is exceptional and the place is spotless and comfortable with all the amenities you would ever need.
The location was amazing, just 11 minutes from the heart of Missoula but it felt like a whole other world. Everything was pristine. The bed was comfy along with all the rest of the furniture. I loved having a washer and dryer. Roxy was a great host- very considerate and friendly. We will return on our next visit to Missoula.

Wonderful hospitality from the owners.Beautiful location just out of the city, but not too far. Nice to enjoy the views and the trails outside of the city, but still be close enough to have dinners and conveniences of the city.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. Hope to see you again!
Great location for skiing at Montana snowbowl. Very clean, spacious space. I was under the impression that Vrbo were entirely private rentals, this was a basement apartment with owners above. More of an air b and b, IMO. Great hosts but didn't need to smell their dinner and hear what they are watching on TV.

Hi. Thank you for the positive comments about its cleanliness and spaciousness. The photos of a 3600 SF house and the description of this unit as a 600 SF studio with a private entrance/private patio, with the owner's patio in the rear, were meant to be clear. Sorry, that wasn't completely obvious to you prior to renting! Actually, quite a few VRBO's are studios or multi-unit type rentals. I don't think VRBO offers room rentals in a house, which is the primary difference from Airbnb, so you always have your own private space. I'm rather surprised you could smell the food through the solid core door since no one else has mentioned it! Multi-units or hotels that are not concrete do tend to be able to hear between floors . 99% of the time (unless we are having guests) the tv is shut off by 9:15 pm.
It is exactly as advertised!It’s beautiful , it’s clean, it has everything you need and close to townI honestly don’t think we could have picked a better place to be near Missoula ! Loved it!
This is the second time we stayed here visiting Missoula. Great access to a beautiful trail right outside the door. Easy access to highway into town but there are many options for shopping and eating close by. The best part is the tranquility and spectacular view. Roxy is friendly and full of local information. Thanks again for a great experience.

About the host
Hosted by Craig & Roxy Van Bockel
My husband and I have been providing vacation rentals and long-term rentals since 1999. We operated multiple vacation rentals on the Big Island of Hawaii and Missoula, MT since 2004. If you need something, we will definitely try to obtain it for you. We've lived in Missoula off and on since the late 1970s and permanently moved back in 2017. If you need some local information about the National Parks or what sights to see - please ask! Hiking, cross-country skiing, and bird watching are our favorite outdoor activities.
Why they chose this property
In 2020 we bought this wonderful 5-acre parcel on Grant Creek Road. Up the mountain behind us is National Wildlife land and Forest Service land which means you will probably see wildlife daily. This is a larger home with a great view from both our upstairs unit and the downstairs walkout studio which we remodeled in 2022 as a vacation rental! It is a 600 SF studio (bigger than many homes!) with a private entrance, private shower bathroom, and new flooring, paint, and cabinets. We hope that you enjoy our location as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
We love the wildlife we see both on our property and when walking the many hiking trails near us. Grant Creek hiking and biking trail is just across Grant Creek Rd from our property. What we enjoy the most is, that we are in the country but only 10 minutes from shopping on Reserve St. and less than 15 minutes from St Pat's Hospital via Interstate. Snow Bowl Ski area is just up the road from us! And don't forget to go to the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in Missoula. It's been voted one of the best in the country. The music venues here are great! And of course, we have the University of Montana in town and Grizzly fans are welcome!
