Views for days

Our modern farmhouse mountain home has the most beautiful view of Missoula and yet so close to downtown and the university. There is so much space inside (5000 square feet) with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms to make your stay comfortable. The formal living room, separate dining room, and huge great room including a family room, eating area, and breakfast nook along with a huge kitchen with top of the line appliances will help make you all feel at home away from home. Outside our home you will find plenty to do without even driving with a hiking trail outside the front door that leads to the Sousa Trail and the Barnmeyer Loop with an overlook that will take your breath away along with connections to the new Dean Stone Mountain trail (over 12 miles of hiking trails). It has the best of both worlds- Montana mountain life, yet close to everything downtown Missoula has to offer!

Missoula Lookout

We really wanted to love this house. It has an amazing location up on the hill overlooking the whole valley. The house is huge and has lots of room for spreading out and several rooms too. The first thing we noticed was that the front door doesn't shut completely unless you use the bolt lock. This was a little inconvenient. There are so many light switches to use and some don't seem to go anywhere just a little confusing. The fireplace in the room with the piano and up in the bedroom weren't working but we did enjoy the one in the family room along with the air hockey table. We tried using the Sauna but the temperature, even after adding more time, never really got hot enough to get a good sweat. We also wanted to use the bikes, but both of their tires were flat and there was no pump to use. In one room upstairs there is a hole in the ceiling where you can see insulation and into the attic along with a hole in the wall behind the chair. Several of the cabinets don't shut correctly and many of them had glue put on them which looked a little bit tacky. We also enjoyed the firepit outside the last night as the wood provided was nice and dry and caught very quickly. I think this place could be really nice with a little TLC and I do realize it is a rental, I just think for the price tag that things could be in better shape and amenities that are being provided should work properly.

Tons of space

This property is so spacious and the views are truly stunning. There’s something about having your ears pop from altitude when you drive home from town that makes this a first for us.

Wonderful views of Missoula

The location was private but conveniently close to town. You can’t beat the views and the layout of the house was perfect for our group of nine. There’s a walking trail close to the house plus a well stocked entertainment area with an air hockey game. We really enjoyed our stay.

Super nice Host

Unfortunately, due to a crazy wind storm, the house did not have power but the owner was so great about communicating with me and working to refund me due to this force of nature causing us to find alternative plans. The host was great to work with and I hope I can rent the house in the future!

Great place for a wedding party to stay!

We had a great time staying at this beautiful property! Host provided helpful directions, we had no issues checking in, and we loved the patio and all the game options. We were a bit disappointed that the floors and showers didn’t appear to have been cleaned thoroughly before our stay and that one of the showerheads in the bathroom did not work, but in general we had a great time and it worked well for our group.

Wedding weekend

We gathered family from Maine, Florida and Utah for a wedding in the area. The home accommodated our large group comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped to cook our meals together and the patio offered amazing views at all times. Deer frequent the property and drink from the pond! Some from our group chose to hit the trail leaving from the driveway. All around we had a wonderful time in the home. No complaints.

Amazing Views

We loved our Stay! We were in town for parents weekend at the University of Montana. The house was impeccably clean, very well stocked and close to the campus. We enjoyed the outdoor deck with the fire pit, card games and all nine of us enjoyed movies on the roomy couch. The views from all of the windows were amazing!

Great view, great house, great for groups

Our family from all over met up in Missoula for a Griz football game and stayed at the Lookout. The house is huge and comfortable and easily accommodated our group with lots of beds and bathrooms. Everyone loved the house and how clean it was. The best part for me personally was the communication with the owner. She even helped out after my stay when I thought I lost my watch there (turns out I packed it). She was wonderful. If we do this trip again, we'll definitely book the Lookout!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I am Joy and an educator for over 25 years. Our family now lives in Big Sky, Montana after living in Kirkland, WA, Quito, Ecuador, and Missoula, Montana. Our family loves to adventure so we've always loved staying in other homes and now are excited to share our homes. Thanks for choosing our beautiful home. We really love sharing in others special moments.

Why they chose this property

This property is like no other. There are few places in Missoula that have views, a hiking trail outside their front door, but are close to everything in 5-10 minutes or less. It also is a huge 5,000 square foot space that allows all to have their personal space but come together to share in lovely dinners and moments together.
