Cozy Guest house located in the highly sought after Rattlesnake Neighborhood. Locals and others from afar love to visit this tranquil neighborhood which offers a great escape with so many vacation options. Please don't expect to see rattlesnakes, but perhaps deer and an occasional black bear! We fell in love with this property because of the history and location. This is a 100 year old estate that was one of the first houses in the middle Rattlesnake. The Guest house has its own little history! The family who lived here for 70 years operated a daycare and after-school service in the guest house which was converted to a cozy abode. There are many local residents who remember attending this little daycare which operated for nearly 40 years.

Today we love this location because of the nostalgic history and allure of the valley. In the summer enjoy the cool night breeze and the rustling leaves in the trees. You might even say you feel like you are in a tree house!

You can expect a cozy and updated experience with all the amenities of a home away from home. Sleep 5 comfortably in the beds provided. Use the full kitchen to cook your meals or escape to a local favorite restaurant! There are two bathrooms in the house, one is a full bath and the other is a 1/2 bath. There is also a cozy outdoor area for coffee in the morning or a fire in the fire pit!

Other reasons to pick this spot include the location to the University of Montana.
Walking distance to University of Montana (1.6 miles). Great access to hiking, mountain biking, Ten Spoon Winery, Rattlesnake Cafe, Rattlesnake Creek, Greenough Park, Pineview Park and just 5 minutes to downtown Missoula.

From our yard you might see Hang-gliders hovering around MT. Jumbo. The Rattlesnake is 32,000-acres of wilderness and 22,000-acres of national recreation on a city bus route.

    Great location, very cool owner, lots of space, didn't realize there were actually 2 bedrooms and another queen. Super easy to get to downtown and a big nice sitting area to chill out in after an adventurous day!

    We loved the house! It was so clean and roomy. It had everything we needed. Shannon was great at responding to any questions we had. This was the perfect choice for us! So happy we found it on Vrbo!

    Check in for good, the kitchen was dirty and they did not have some of the amenities that they listed, we rented this home for the swimming pool and it was dirty and when I tried to reach out to the host it took her 18 hours to get back to me. It was a shared back yard with dogs and they didn’t clean up after them. We would not recommend this home at all.

    We all loved the cozy guesthouse and Shannon’s hospitality. The host was very kind, attuned to our needs, friendly, and helpful. We loved how close the location was to the U of M campus, downtown area, and interstate. We’ll be back for a football game!! Thank you Shannon!

    It was the perfect place to rest between enjoying outdoor adventures in Rattlesnake National Rec Area and Blue Mountain, concerts at KettleHouse Amphitheater and nice restaurants in downtown Missoula.

    The cottage was roomy but cozy and the location is perfect to enjoy all Western Montana has to offer. Our hostess Shannon could not have been nicer. Great communication throughout. We lost power for a couple of days due to the storm that devastated parts of Missoula. It looked like power may be out for much longer. Shannon graciously offered to give us a credit or let us out of the agreement. We wouldn’t hear of it. Hated leaving this little peace of Heaven. Thank you Shannon and family. Marty and Lynn

    Truly a quaint stay. The host was friendly. The cabin was cozy. The beds and pillows were fantastically comfortable. The only complaint came from my children when it was time to leave.
