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 sun set 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. For a day trip, Glacier Park is just a 3-hour drive north. 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 and has a gas fireplace for chilly evenings. The family room furniture includes a futon which is suitable for one adult or two children.

There are two bedrooms, each with a large bathroom. The main bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom has two twin beds.

A sunroom is connected to the main bedroom through french doors. It's a great place to sit and read, work on your computer, or just enjoy the views.

The kitchen is fully equipped, including your basic cooking essentials such as spices, oil, coffee, tea, sugar. There are plenty dishes, glasses, and cookware, even a pizza stone and a counter-top Foreman grill.

It's quiet, peaceful, and beautiful here. We take pride in ensuring the vacation rental is well maintained and that our guests have everything they need to make their stay most enjoyable. We have, ourselves, stayed in vacation rentals. Using that as a learning experience, we have tried to make our vacation rental as close to home and comfortable as possible
