Bitterroot Valley Riverfront Rental near Missoula in Missoula

This vacation home is in a quiet, peaceful, park-like setting on four acres along the beautiful Bitterroot River, just 15 minutes south of Missoula.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck while you watch beautiful sunrises over the river and Sapphire Mountains. In the evening, watch the sunset over the Bitterroot Mountains. You will have direct access from the property to fishing, floating, and swimming.

Hike miles of nearby trails to rugged peaks and mountain lakes, creeks and ponds. Wildlife abound. Canada geese and a variety of ducks use the river. Watch deer and fox wander through the property and eagles and osprey dipping for fish. Glacier Park is just a 3-hour drive north and Yellowstone Park is 4-1/2 hours away

The living room, with glass doors opening to the deck, faces the river and the Sapphire Mountain range. The family room faces west to the Bitterroot Mountain Range. There are two bedrooms, each with a large bathroom. The family room furniture includes a futon which is suitable for one adult or two children.

The main bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom has two twin beds. The sunroom is connected to the main bedroom through french doors.

Just 45 minutes away is one of the best mule deer hunting units in the west and 20 minutes to excellent archery hunting for deer at the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge. Fly fish in the Bitterroot River from the back yard.

"Of all our many visits to Missoula, this was the best. We enjoyed the quiet peaceful feel of the river and the comfort of the house."
