About this property

Missouri River Getaway

*Feel free to ask us how we are handling cleaning and sanitizing the home to protect against COVID-19.

Situated right on the gentle Missouri River, our quirky 80's style vacation home presents opportunities for both active and slower paced travelers. Tucked away on the river side of our family business, traveler's are blocked from the noise of the road. A river access point on our property that is a couple hundred feet from the rental property allows for guests to venture out kayaking, canoeing, inner tubing or rafting. (No trailoring down our ramp - only crafts you can get in and out of the water by lifting).

The house is 3000 square feet and is ideal for a family or friend group looking for a home to stay in. There are stairs! Please reconsider if you are handicapped / have trouble walking up or down stairs.

Rooms are:
Master bedroom: King sized bed (med-soft), full-sized pullout sofa (soft), little dining set and porch overlooking the river, connecting bathroom, and a walk-in closet
White bedroom: Desk area for work, king-sized bed (soft), walk in closet
Orange bedroom: 2 Queen sized memory foam beds (firm), walk-in closet
Downstairs book nook: pullout queen sofa mattress
Downstairs entertainment area: ping-pong table, board games
Upstairs Living room: TV (no cable) DVD player and movies and comfy couch
Kitchen: Oven, stove, dishwasher, bar-stool (5-6) dining set up
Guests may use our washing and drying machine as well as wi-fi
Please note that parking next to the home is only suitable for 2 vehicles. There is additional parking for 4 vehicles next to our family's business (which is next to our building) as long as additional guests don't mind a minute walk.

Outside:
We have lawn furniture for guests to use. You can also use the river access point that is not on the rental property, but is 150 feet from the rental property. No trailoring down crafts! You can only hand carry them down. There are no outdoor firepits or grills. You are welcome to bring a grill, but no firepits thank you.

Also, the property manager lives above the family's business next door. You will likely see her going in and out of the business next door with her dogs. You will also likely see (during the weekdays), our 2 employees coming in and out of the business next door. Please feel free to grab any one of them if you have questions or would like to visit!

Also!!!! If there is something in the description you don't understand, let us know!

***On VRBO there is an error where it has this listed as 'pet friendly.' This is not pet friendly!

Vert nice, quiet location. Entertainment from river was fun to watch.

This property is a well maintained property. Only issue was, if you have folks that can not tolerate stairs, you need to re-think this nice home.

Nice Missouri river hideaway

This worked out great for my family gathering. It’s spacious, quiet and clean, and has a very nice view of the Missouri. There were only eight of us, but it really will sleep 12 if a couple of folks don’t mind using the hide-a-bed sofas. When I say “hideaway,” it means that you’ll first think you’re in the wrong place when driving up to the address. The owners run a business facing the road, and the actual house isn’t visible until you drive around to the back. Once there, there’s a large concrete patio area and a parcel of lawn right against the river: suitable for sitting around and enjoying the placid Missouri River. The grass area is plenty big enough to play yard games like bocce or cornhole. There are tables and plenty of chairs outside. No grill, but the manager graciously offered to loan us one if we really needed it. Inside, the rooms are big and the furniture is comfortable. There’s a huge snack bar in the kitchen with a bunch of high stools. The only thing missing is a dining room table — useful if the group is playing card or board games. Being hidden on the river side of the property, the place is quiet and pretty private. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a gathering place near Great Falls.

Relaxing

My dad & in-laws (all in the upper 80’s) stayed at the house with other family members for a long weekend. Kris was awesome, right there to greet us, very friendly & extremely helpful. What a spacious house! Plenty of sleeping options, a recliner for my mother in law. The stairs are nice & wide, and the parents didn’t seem to have too much difficulty navigating them, especially with using a cane for balance (being able to walk short distances us a necessity with this property). The kitchen & a bathroom (plus a huge bedroom w/balcony) are upstairs, so once the parents were upstairs they could stay there for awhile. It was SO relaxing sitting on the patio or balcony watching river. We had beautiful weather, so we were fortunate. There is a little grass area where we played some yard games, which we really enjoyed (you’d definitely need to keep an eye on small children, as it is right next to the river). It is a short distance from town, which added to the appeal for us, so you need to drive to get any groceries. All of us agree we would definitely stay here again!

Great place for family gathering.

We needed a large home to rent while our Mom was receiving medical care in Great Falls. This place was perfect! All the amenities, comfortable beds and a great location, right on the Missouri River. Highly recommended, and very friendly, helpful hosts.

Missouri River Family Reunion

Overall, we were pleased with our stay at this property. The house met our expectations and the listing/pictures were accurate. We had a family wedding and a mini-reunion, and had 10 people staying in the house. It served our purposes well, as we had a nice place to visit, cook meals, and hang out as a family which we wouldn't have had if we had stayed in a hotel. The beds were generally comfortable, although the king bed in the master bedroom was a bit soft for some people's likings. The two queen beds downstairs are made of stiff memory foam, which was pretty firm. The lone king bed downstairs was medium-soft as advertised, so there are a variety of bed firmnesses for different sleeping preferences. The only issue a large group might find is that although the house is billed to sleep up to 12, there really is only enough room to seat 6 people at the dining room table. The rest of the family has to eat on couches, which can be a challenge depending on what is served (ie-hard to cut steak on your lap on a paper plate). But that was the only real issue for a large group. The living space in the house is more than adequate for 10-12 people to hang out and live together without feeling overly crowded. The den/play room downstairs was nice for the kids to burn off energy while the adults could still visit upstairs. The view of the river is excellent, and was beautiful and serene. Kristy, the property manager, was helpful and brought us extra supplies when we ran out. Overall, we were pleased with our stay.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful time at this property...it was during a family loss that brought us back to Great Falls...it was a sad time but this property made it easier since it allowed us time to spend sharing with family and friends during our stay. Loved the river and the views...the property manager was so sweet...she even loaned us her family sized crock pot. We would love to stay there again on our next trip to Montana.

Great river home

Over all it was a great venue. The home had a wonderful outside space; perfect for gathering our friends and family. The inside lacked a diningroom table/kitchen table; which would have been nice for playing cards and such. We had to use a hide abed and it really needs a better mattress. We ended up taking the mattress from the unused hide a bed and doubling them up to be comfortable. It could have used some nicer towels too.

Great Falls getaway on the river

Great get away in Great Falls!

Last year at this time, we tried to rent this house, but missed the booking by one day. We were so bummed. When we knew we were venturing back to Great Falls, I immediately went on VRBO and booked this house! We were so happy that the dates were available. This house is definitely one of a kind. We loved the open concrete patio right on the river. The floor plan on the house was unique and let everyone have their own space. The other convenient thing about this house, is that we got back to the house extremely late every night after racing. It was nice we didn't have to worry about a "neighborhood atmosphere", even though we tried to be as quiet as possible, as we know sound travels along the water. Thank you again Kristy! We enjoyed every moment! We will be back for sure! Sincerely, Brett and Dana
