Missoula

What Missoula Offers
There's so much to say about Missoula and I'd like to refer you to Missoula Montana magazine. I have made the Missoula magazine, along with other guides, available to our Bungalow guests. The writers of this magazine articulate the unique "nature meets culture" features better than I ever could. I will say that we've come to love it for its easy-going outdoorsy life with all the creature comforts of a hip University metropolitan city. If you're a foody, you're going to find many eateries that will delight your tastebuds! If you like to bike, you're going to love the dedicated bike trails that run along the river and through the city, if you love music, you will find an awesome music scene!

Neighborhoods

This 1940’s bungalow is centrally situated in Missoula’s historical and desirable University District. Old, giant trees and a mix of giant homes and small bungalows offer a storybook setting. Students, professors and long-time residents make this neighborhood a melting pot. This neighborhood is known for being quiet, safe, and family friendly. Right around the corner is the fun filled Bonner Park with tennis and basketball courts, a playground and plenty of grassy space. Just blocks away is the University of Montana and Mount Sentinel’s hiking trailhead. Heading in the other direction guests will find the popular hip-strip and river trail and just across the bridge is downtown Missoula with its plethora or restaurants, bars, breweries, coffee houses, music venues, playhouses, boutiques, open air markets, festivals and more.

Food scene

First off - amazing food!!! Yummy breakfasts, lunches and coffee beverages. Locally sourced and vegan options. Secondly, they have been so creative and smart with how they've handled Covid protocols and safety. Mostly, in ways that have enhanced the dining experience overall.

This is one of our favorite upscale gourmet Mexican food places downtown. The food is really uniquely delicious, and the margaritas and other bar drinks are fantastic too! Nice ambiance and really fun but can get really busy and loud.
