About this property

The Clark Fork Cottage Downtown Missoula, Mid Century/Spacious

Welcome to our charming vintage apartment in the heart of Missoula, Montana! Inside you'll be greeted by warm hardwood floors, vintage furnishings and a peaceful retreat. The spacious living room offers a cozy seating area, a fully equipped kitchen that features a sweet vintage vibe, a serene bedroom with a king sized bed and a beautiful custom tiled bathroom. It's a perfect place for relaxing after a busy day playing in downtown Missoula or exploring all that Western Montana has to offer.

The space is nice and spacious and has generous sized rooms. The living room is a large comfortable space that is very light filled. It leads into the dining room area, which is such a sweet and cozy spot. The kitchen is full of vintage vibes and beautiful new tile and countertops. You will love the retro looking refrigerator and the authentic vintage stove. We placed a king size bed in the bedroom and it creates such a serene environment. We also sourced beautiful tile for the tub and shower and newly remodeled bathroom. We hope you love your time here!

You will have access to the main floor apartment in the building. You will also be able to use the front porch/patio area that is a shared space with the other apartment.

Feel free to reach out if you need anything at all. Laura

We had a great time at the well located and charming apartment. Wasn’t exactly a cottage as it is the middle floor of a three-story building, but the building and the ‘cottage’ are very cool and vintage. The cottage itself had a great nostalgic feel throughout. Classic old oak floors that creak louder than my back on a cold morning, but somehow it just fits the place. Location is really nice and close to the hip strip and all that goes with that and was also close to the areas that we particularly wanted to be by. Really enjoyed our time there and definitely would stay there again. Additionally Laura was a great manager and very responsive to our needs.

Home away from Home

We spent a week in Missoula visiting family and this was a perfect respite at the end of the day. Property was lovely - clean and well appointed- and the hosts were wonderful. Location was great as you can easily walk into town where there is so much to see and experience. This will definitely be where we stay our next trip!
