Such a fun place to stay! Located in a great spot just across the bridge of the main downtown. This area, known as the “hip strip”, has a great juice bar, vegan doughnut, taco spot, coffee, bakery and a dive with great burgers. Lydia was super sweet as well. Would highly recommend!

Have stayed in other condos in the Babs. Great location. Nice sized condos for two adults. Unit 10 had fine reviews (but no reviews after November 2021?). The primary problem: the unit was not adequately clean. Seemed okay at first--sink, tub and toilet looked fine. Then bathroom cabinet doors came off when we opened them. Had trouble with TVs and Internet. Owners responded to those concerns. But after a couple days (and filthy feet), I realized the floors were DIRTY. Saw wrappers and a toy under couches. So sweep, vacuum and mop, right? Easy enough. But the dust under the couches was thick. The kitchen floor was filthy--multiple moppings were required and the dirt removed was extensive. Should I have called? Probably. But at a minimum, I expect a VRBO property to be well-cleaned--no calling required. And the more I looked: cobwebs, dirty walls, dusty vents, stained furniture, mildewed shower curtain. Would not stay again. I let the owner know all my concerns on checkout. Hope they have corrected and done a deep clean.

This rental is in the perfect location. Great access to downtown and the university. With the River Trail, Currents, the MCT, the Carousel, Dragons Hollow, Big Dipper and so many good restaurants right there, you just can’t beat it. This is our second stay here. The space is just right for a family mostly on the go, but that still spends some down time around the rental. Unit has everything you need. We would definitely stay here again.

The Babs is absolutely an institution in Missoula! It's stately and historic but also sumptuous and modernized. It's literally a 10 minute walk from the heart of Missoula (via the Higgins St. bridge over a gorgeous river) and next door to top-rated bakeries and Italian restaurants -- basically everything is at your doorstep. The only slight negative is the smoke alarm in the kitchen is hyper-sensitive and goes off when simply cooking eggs with barely any smoke or steam but if you open the window it takes care of that. (And anyway, in such a stately wooden building built in c.1902 wouldn't you want a very sensitive smoke alarm?) This awesome condo unit is just pure comfort and really crowned my weeklong visit to beautiful Missoula.

Great location, perfect for a stay in Missoula!

Great location, perfect for a stay in Missoula!

We came to town with our two kids, 6 and 4 for a family vacation. Riverfront was the perfect location. With access to the Missoula trail system within a block of the condo, we were able to leave our car parked for much of the trip. We hoped on our bikes or walked just about every place we wanted to go. Within a couple of blocks there’s Big Dipper ice cream, Bernice’s bakery, the Bridge pizza, and so much more. Also close by is a small park with river access where the kids played in the river numerous times. Cross the Higgins street bridge and there is the Carousel, Dragons Hallow, and a lot of good dining and shopping. 15 minutes and you can be at the trailhead for the Rattlesnake recreation area. This place has great access to so many places that are classic Missoula and will work great for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Missoula downtown lifestyle or anyone visiting the University. We would definitely stay again!

Comfort and walkability in downtown Missoula

Comfort and walkability in downtown Missoula

This condo has 3 things going for it that are rare to find in one place. It's in a beautiful and well maintained historical building. The sunny first floor flat is comfortable and clean providing a quiet setting in the city. And you can easily walk the riverfront, go into downtown across the bridge, or enjoy a variety of eateries within 2 blocks. Hop in the car for a short drive to the Good Food Store or lunch at the Tagliare Delicatessen. In the neighborhood you can breakfast at Bernice's Bakery and have a treat at Big Dipper Ice Cream. If you want to bike some of the river trails, be sure to reserve a bicycle in advance. The University is nearby and hiking trails are within a 15 minute drive. You'll also find the owner is very responsive to inquiries and questions. This condo is definitely worth repeat stays when in the Missoula area.

Second time at the Babs—as awesome as the first!

The location, comfort, ease, and price of the Babs just can’t be beat. The charming building with its big comfy front porch and access to al Missoula has to offer makes it a place you’ll want to come back to time and time again. The unit is well stocked, easy to use, comfortable and again—in a great building in a great location. There are restaurants/bakeries/cafes in any direction you turn coming out of the Babs—from amazing tacos and French pastries in one direction to pizza by the slice and quiche and homemade scones in the other. Don’t miss the Saturday farmers market a short walk past the Hip Strip and over the bridge to downtown Missoula. And if you walk the other direction, you’ll stroll through the historic neighborhood with charming homes and streets leading to the River Walk trail. The property owners are friendly and attentive and the unit is easily accessible—both on arrival and departure. We look forward to returning to the Babs next year! Thank you.

I was in town for the UM graduation and couldn’t have been happier with this condo. I purposely did not rent a car, and walked to everything I wanted to see/do. The location is ideal. The condo was clean and inviting, with simple/tasteful decor and a super comfy king bed. Entry instructions were easy and owners very responsive. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed a wonderful week at BABS #10, a very charming 1 bedroom apartment with full kitchen and dining room, located in the heart of Missoula. This comfortable apartment has plenty of windows, light, and a king bed. On the corner of 4th Street and Higgins, we were steps away from the Hob Nob, Bernices, the Clark Fork bridge and river walk, and all that downtown Missoula has to offer! We plan to stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Babs! The location could not be better and is in walking distance to many downtown hot spots. We were within 5 minutes driving distance of family and friends that we were visiting and were very happy with our ability to get anywhere we needed in just a few moments. The condo itself was charming, with all the amenities that we needed. Everything was easy, and Lydia was very kind and made sure everything was perfect.

The perfect perch

The perfect perch

The place was ideal. I have had a huge range of experiences with VRBO homes (and equivalent). There always seems to be some major flaw -- e.g. I rented a large, expensive home on coastal Maine and they provided no soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. At Babs #10 EVERYTHING was perfect. Every detail was carefully attended to. I visited Missoula to attend to my daughter's elbow surgery. She and I settled into #10 and she felt as though she was home, making the whole stay so successful. Thanks!
