• Spacious and Comfortable Stay for Our Family Wedding Trip

  5/5

  We had a great stay at this Missoula home while visiting for our daughter’s wedding. The four bedrooms were perfect for our large family, giving everyone plenty of space to spread out comfortably. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant—an ideal setting for a family trip.

  The back patio was a nice place to relax, though the yard did have quite a bit of animal droppings, so our toddler granddaughter wasn’t able to play out there. It might be helpful to address that for future guests with little ones.

  We were aware of the refrigerator door issue from previous reviews, so it wasn’t a problem for us—we came prepared. One suggestion would be to add nonslip strips on the stairs, as they felt a little narrow and slick.

  Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again!

  House was very clean; however the house needs to be updated. The big bed upstairs and smaller bed downstairs both need to be replaced. Could feel the coils in mattress. The house served its purpose.

  Hi Alan, we’re glad to hear that you found the house very clean! We want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - While we try to accommodate all guests' comfort, we're sorry the mattress didn't meet your preferences. The mattresses were purchased in 2023 and are still fairly new. The king-size mattress is an athletic mattress and is built for good quality and comfort.
  
  We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!

  The electronics were confusing. There were too many devices to figure out to run

  Spacious house in the hills. If it had not been snowing hard it would have been better. The garage was not attached so you had to be out in the weather. The screen door on the front door stuck and had to be rattled and jiggled everytime you came in. We had more beds than we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The bedside lamps were insufficient to read in bed, small matter. The rooms were all large and we never felt crowded. We didn't cook, we ordered out but the kitchen was well stocked. We found the recycling boxes all along the garage in the way. If it hadn't been snowing so hard we would not have used the garage but it was nice to have that option. It would have been perfect if it were attached to the house, but it is very close so while we got damp we did not get wet. Would we stay here again? Yes, absolutely.

  Hi Teresa, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall. We’ll address the storm door and replace the bedside lamps. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll update the listing to clarify that while the garage is attached to the house, the two walk-through doors are accessible from the deck and front walkway, rather than through an interior door. Thank you for your review, and we look forward to welcoming you back!

  While i was in the hospital having a major surgery, my family stayed here. Other than a little heating issue and the refrigerator door not opening all the way they enjoyed their stay. Owners and housekeepers were really easy to work with. Will definitely stay again.
