Our vacation home made our stay in Missoula happy and peaceful. We are so thankful for the service that this VRBO owner provided to our family with children under 14.

The location is excellent - close to downtown, UM, hikes, farmers market but the highlight of this property is the host!
Paula really cares about the property (regularly mows and waters), is always checking in to make sure everything is going well. If anything is needed she is always available and responds quickly.
My favorite spot is taking my morning coffee down by the creek in the backyard and either reading the paper or checking my emails.
The barbecue in the back is great and we had a family barbecue (7 of us) with plenty of space in the backyard.
I highly recommend this spot for any stay in Missoula!

We were so comfortable and happy with this cozy rental. Perfect for two couples. We had everything we needed! Easy walk to dining and grocery shopping. We loved sitting outside in the the very well cared for backyard. So peaceful! It was just what we needed after long days on the river.

Stayed the summer of 22 in this VRBO. It is close to everything I needed. Walking distance to downtown, U of M, Ogren Park at Allegiance Field to see Paddleheads games.
You can also walk to some great restaurants, lots of fast food and a short drive to anything else needed.
Paula is a wonderful host and very responsive to anything you might need. I would definitely come back!
Thanks, Paula!

Comfortable and convenient
We enjoyed our stay at Creekside Retreat. The house very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well-equipped. The host, Paula, was so welcoming and easy to communicate with. Creekside Retreat is really a home away from home.

Thanksgiving game week
We had a great stay near the university to watch football, basketball games and have Thanksgiving.
We had everything we needed to cook a great dinner! It even had two ovens.
Great location to walk to the stadium, campus and stores.
It was a wonderful week!
Overall, a very clean, nicely updated home.

Wonderful Home
We had a wonderful stay at this house. Stayed for 6 months with my husband and adult son; plenty of room for all 3 of us. The fully equipped kitchen was used daily and had everything we needed. Beds were amazingly comfortable. It is within walking distance of hiking trails, downtown, and shopping. Paula was very welcoming and helpful and very easy to communicate with. We plan to stay here when we come back to Missoula again.

Adorable, clean home
This was the most immaculate house I have ever rented. It was well furnished with anything you might need. Beautiful yard and close to all the things in Missoula. Would love to return.

Super convenient, clean, comfortable spot!
This house was just perfect for our family. We came to drop off our son, who was moving into ROAM and starting at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography. The house was super clean and comfortable. Paula made us feel right at home. We walked everywhere - to/from ROAM, to trailheads, to the grocery store, to restaurants. Such a convenient location. And a huge highlight is the lovely backyard with comfy spots to sit/work/read while listening to the creek. We had everything we needed for a delightful stay. Thank you, Paula!

Unexpected Gem
We had a fantastic stay in Missoula and Paula’s place was fantastic!, so clean and it had everything!!!! Although there were a few extremely hot days... floating the river was the key and Paula was a life saver with all the fans she provided... The awesome part was when it cooled off at night, the coolness of the little creek and after floating... we were able to walk to The rental, no problem 😊. We will definitely check into availability the next time we’re in town-Thsnks Paula

Truly a cozy creekside resort
We at a great 3 night stay, using the rental as a base for flyfishing the Bitterroot River and sightseeing. The house is spacious, clean, and well equipped. Enjoyed the "white noise" from the trains and the stream behind the property. The owner, Paula, was very helpful and accommodating in helping us keep our reservation while navigating the 14 day out of state quarantine, canceled plane reservations, etc

Riverside Retreat
We had an amazing family Christmas at this lovely property in Missoula. The location is excellent and the house is cozy and quiet so that even though we were in the heart of Missoula, once we stepped inside, the outside noise disappeared. The beds and bathrooms were very comfortable and the entire place was spotless. The decor was modern and peaceful.
The kitchen was very well appointed and we were able to have Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner as a family. With two ovens, the meals came together perfectly. One night we had 8 people around the table.
Although the house sleeps 4-6, we used it for 5 people but had several guests in for dinner. The hostess seemed to anticipate our every need and even put up Christmas decorations for us.
We had the most pleasant and joyful Christmas ever thanks to our accommodations. I think this house would be even better in the summer because there is a big backyard with a picnic table and outdoor furniture at the creek side.
I highly recommend this property and would certainly return again.

Great Location, Cozy feel, and Everything you Need
This was a very nice property located right in the heart of it all. We were able to walk to almost everything that we did. If you are going to do the marathon then this is one of the closest places to the shuttle pick up that you could stay as well as a short walk back from the finish line. It had all the ammonites that you will need on Vacation as well as a cute little creek in the backyard. From the living room window you can see a couple of the mountains. You can also walk to the M from here very easily. We loved our stay and stay there again if we make it back.

Missoula mountain bike weekend
Cute home that looks brand new inside. Photos are accurate. Well stocked kitchen for meal prep and plenty of space to spread out and relax. The creek was lovely and very soothing. Great touches like complementary wine, whole bean coffee and cold bottled water. Paula was very accommodating and easy to reach and quickly came over when we locked ourselves out. Although it is in a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood, it was very quiet. Convenient to downtown, restaurants and grocery store. Great stay !
