Guest House In the Upper Rattlesnake

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.

Perfect!
The home was secluded, which was wonderful because we couldn't hear any traffic or neighbors. But it was, initially, a little hard to find because it set behind another home, and it was late at night when we arrived. But Shannon directed into the place and is a very sweet lady. It was a lovely home with a full kitchen and dining area. My bed was so comfortable! I loved having two bathrooms too. Worked very well for us.

Great location and price!
We had a great time. The location was perfect for us, close to our family, trails, and the rattlesnake cafe! It worked really well for the 4 of us, and had room for my brother when he decided to stay one of the nights. Would definitely stay again!

U of M move in
Our stay was very comfortable! Great location and wonderful host. We had a shower issue and Shannon was on top of it but unable to get cooperation from the professionals, therefore she graciously opened her house to us until the issue was fixed. She also credited the two days we were without the shower. We moved our daughter to the university there so we hope the house is available for all our return visits.

Comfort and convenience
We enjoyed our stay at this guesthouse. The Rattlesnake location is convenient to all that Missoula has to offer while, at the same time, feeling like a getaway. The host, Shannon, is welcoming and very responsive but not at all intrusive. We felt very comfortable here.

Week long stay for a wedding
Great location convenient to town. Really enjoyed the outdoor space. We were allowed in an hour early - told it was ready and we appreciated that. But, we were disappointed in the lack of cleanliness. Very dusty all over, mouse droppings on pillows and we had to wipe down the fridge prior to using. No hand soap in the bathrooms. Had to borrow box fans from my family in Missoula for the airless downstairs bedroom. Needed a little TLC prior to guests arriving but we just took care of getting the things we needed ourselves.
