vacation rental description
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 opens to a queen-size bed.
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
No smoking in the house please. Well-behaved dogs are allowed with a $10/day charge to cover additional time in cleaning. They must not be left in the house alone and renter is responsible for any damage caused by the dog.
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.
Some comments from our guestbook:
"Perfect hospitality, comfort, and mesmerizing surroundings."
"We will go home to Georgia with fond memories and visions of the deer, fox, horses. What a wonderful and peaceful place so convenient to Missoula."
"We truly enjoyed the peaceful setting, it gave us a wonderful retreat to come to. We look forward to coming back in the near future."
"Our favorite was just sitting on the deck in the evenings watching the river and the animals."
"Watching the deer every night and the moose in the morning. Fishing in the a.m., exploring Montana during the day. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us."
"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."
"Your stretch of river is pristine and made fishing a dream. It was a delight to stand in the river and view its life -- Bald eagles, Osprey, a Golden eagle, the deer, fox, weasel."
