About this property

Hot tub, Fire Pit, Ping Pong, & New Kitchen. Family Friendly Garden City Getaway

This is the entire 2k s.f. lower level of my home with it’s own private entrance and relaxing hot tub. It feels like you’re in the mountains yet its only a 10 min drive from downtown. Pine trees surround the 1 acre property and you can hear the creek running through the backyard. Enjoy sitting around the fire pit, playing ping pong or cozy up watching a movie.

This is a modern, daylight lower level with three bedrooms. The Primary bedroom has a SmartTV and a dedicated workspace with a new, king-size Helix mattress and plush-down comforter. All bedrooms have a walk-in closet, reading lights, black-out blinds, box fans, and extra pillows/blankets. Enjoy cooking in a brand new, fully equipped kitchen with all the necessities. The spacious family room has ping pong, a dining table, and an extra-large wrap-around couch to enjoy movie night. The home has radiant floor heating and 1 bathroom. The bathroom has pocket doors that divide the two sinks, toilet and shower rooms, allowing multiple people to use them simultaneously.

Game trails are running through the property and we enjoy seeing deer and a wide variety of birds daily. There is also a pair of foxes that slink through from time to time and we had a unique opportunity to see a bear and several wild horses this past summer as well!

I live above the rental but I am gone frequently and very quiet. The lower level and hot tub are completely private and not shared and we refrain from using my back deck when guests are here.

Guest access/parking: Please only park TWO cars at the very end of the driveway so that the garages don’t get blocked. PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE NEIGHBOR'S SIDE OF THE STREET AS THEY MAY TOW.

From the end of the driveway, turn right and a gentle tiered gravel pathway takes you to the back of the unit's private entrance and hot tub. The entire lower level of the house is for guest use and is NOT shared.

There is a Yurt in the backyard where my daughter/co-host lives.

A professional service person stops by weekly to properly maintain the hot tub.

All our soaps, laundry detergent, & cleaning products have been carefully selected to be free of harmful chemicals, fragrances, or other undesirable ingredients. The bath towels and most linens are organic cotton and all of the provided coffee, tea, hot cocoa, olive oil, etc. is also organic. The kitchen is equipped with on-tap filtered well water and lastly, the pots/pans and bakeware are all stainless steel or glass, no teflon here!

Please check out our full list of amenities and feel free to reach out if there's anything additional that we can provide to make your stay with us more enjoyable!

Family adventures

This year we opted to do a family adventure opposed to presents. This stay/home was the perfect grounding spot for all of our hot springs adventures, touring and hikes. The kids loved the ping pong table, rooms, and hot tub. We were also blessed to see 4 of the free wild horses that live in the Missoula foothills. A perfect stay for our family! The vibe and energy of the home was in sync with our family!

Not really a VRBO

The owner actually lives upstairs, so I don't consider this a VRBO. Although they apologized, the first night we were there they cooked shrimp and the smell permeated our unit. The unit was nice, but it did not smell fresh. The living room smelled like the carpet and furniture could use a good cleaning. The hot tub was wonderful though!

Quiet place to land after long days at the baseball field

We really enjoyed our stay. The amenities were spot on, plenty of blankets and pillows, fans in every room if needed and the kitchen supplies were fantastic. The hot tub was a nice perk to relax after a chilly day at teh ball fields. Our favorite part though was the comfy couch, everyone in our family was able to relax and be comfortable and watch a family movie. We’ll be looking to book again in the future!

A quiet place

The property was clean, and a nice fit for my group. Hosts were welcoming and communicated promptly. There was an unexpected expectation of maintaining quiet hours, which was unclear about how strict it was or the expectations for it - left a worry of how much talking or music was okay. There was also a fee for any unwashed dishes because there was no dishwasher. Hot tube, fire, and sleeping arrangement were nice, the kitchen would not have been great if we had to cook any real food. Overall a nice one-night stay.

Very Nice Family Friendly Stay

Our family of 8 stayed here this past Labor Day weekend. This property had everything we needed to make us all comfortable. The kitchen isn’t huge but we were able to cook two of our dinners in there with zero issue. And the dining room table was big enough for the whole family :). There’s an outside grill (clean) and hot tub, which was used numerous times. Even though the temperature outside was around 90 each afternoon, the basement location meant the inside stayed around 74 degrees. There isn’t a dishwasher but I believe that was in the description. Easy enough when you have a few kids around to help. There were plenty of comfortable beds, as well as a large, comfortable sofa (not a sofa bed). I did have a few questions, but the owners were quick to respond. All in all we enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again.

Comfortable

Overall, everything was just as described. Check-in was seamless, and the hot tub was incredible—a perfect way to unwind given the stress we were under during our visit. The king bed was a dream! I can honestly say I had the best three nights of sleep I’ve had in a very long time, so thank you for that! One thing that caught us off guard was a strong smell when we first entered the home. It may have been from cooking upstairs, as it lingered throughout most of our stay. Fortunately, I had packed some essential oils, which helped a bit. Lastly, I would recommend offering more recycling options. There wasn’t much set up other than for aluminum, and it felt wrong to throw away plastic and cardboard. We left the glass aside in hopes it could still be recycled. Thank you again for a comfortable stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jessie Davenport

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Shari! My daughter Jessie and I renovated the lower level of my home into a rental property and adore hosting. We have both lived in Missoula for 30+ years and feel fortunate to call this wonderful city and the mountains surrounding it home.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood feels like you are out in the rural forest, yet is only a few minutes away from grocery stores, restaurants, and downtown Missoula. The people in the neighborhood are friendly and quiet.

What makes this property unique

Our place has a charming creek running through the backyard with old-growth ponderosa pines, and abundant wildlife. To top it off, we have a cozy hot tub, fire pit, ping pong table, a surround sound entertainment system, wrap-around couch, board games, comfortable beds, organic coffee/tea, and non-toxic cleaning products.
