Cool Forest Missoula Home ~ 7 minutes from town

This property is now in Missoula.Welcome to Jane's Place in Missoula ~ August 2024
We are excited to report that we are retiring from the lake mid-July. Jane’s Place will continue to operate, opening a fantastic, freshly remodeled, modern 3 bedroom vacation home in Missoula Montana! Sunken living room, gourmet kitchen, expansive mountain and forest views, private, outdoor wooded spa & stone patio. We will of course, still be in Hot Springs Montana, continuing into our 17th year there.
We will also of course, be honoring all our current reservations. Please email me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Jane's Place in Missoula is located on 3+ gently sloping acres in the beautiful Pattee Canyon area of Missoula, 10 minuets from the University of Montana, the Clark Fork river, The Hip Strip and our fabulous downtown area.
Jane's Place is super comfortable and newly remodeled. We are set up with the basics, and much more.
Missoula is a FANTASTIC vacation destination, Jane's Place would love to share it with you!!
If you are looking for a place to 'PAR-TAY', this is not the rental for you. Please look elsewhere. We are sorry to report that we have stopped renting to bridal or bachelor parties unless you are "a friend of Bill's".
During your stay, I will be, at times, out and about to maintain the gardens and check on the hot tub. I do stay out of your hair and generally am not there. I do not live on the property while you are there.
Our new location as of January 2024, will be “Cool Forest Home~ 7 minutes from town” Please email me with an "inquiry" rather than a "request to book" for special rates. Or give me a call at Montana area code/five fore six/oh for oh fore.


***Signed Rental Agreement and signed House Guidelines are REQUIRED for long term rentals of my home. I will email you a form as soon as you inquire. After booking, if it hasn't been returned to me signed within 7 days, your payments will be returned in full and your reservation cancelled.**

Flathead Lake Vacation!
The property was very clean and Teresa was very responsive. Location was also great! Loved the beach and boat dock as well as having the boat ramp right there. We enjoyed our stay very much!

A Wonderful Lake Vacation
We had a fantastic stay at Jane's Place on our first trip to Montana. The large private beach area with dock is amazing and the house was clean and cozy and well-equipped, with everything you could possibly need. The house is set in the cherry orchards and the hollyhock garden in the front yard is beyond beautiful. The back decks have views of beautiful Flathead Lake. We had so much fun jumping in the lake, fishing off the dock, cooking and barbecuing great meals and just relaxing and enjoying our surroundings and each other. Priceless.

4th of July 2019 - EXCELLENT
A fantastic location and property. We had a group of 12 and we were all very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and all three decks, one in front and two in back with amazing views. The lake was just a short walk straight down the hill. We parked a camper on the beach for additional people who joined us for the trip. Overall, we could not have found a better set up for our needs, and the close proximity to Bigfork for non-lake activities and the airport (Glacier Park International) made the transportation situation for people from all over the country perfect.

Cozy home with a beautiful lake view!
We had a wonderful time at Jane’s Place! It had everything we needed and had an amazing view of the lake from the hot tub and the top deck that over looks all the beautiful fall leaves on the trees! We also enjoyed the private beach & dock, which was just a short walk down the hill. This was a wonderful place to spend our 16 year anniversary weekend! We were even greeted with a nice cold bottle of champange from Teresa to start the celebration of right! Thanks so much Teresa! We had a wonderful time!!

Great weekend
My sisters and I stayed the weekend and had a nice relaxing weekend. The place was very very clean, inviting and comfortable. I would rent this place again. There were plenty of towels, nice soaps and lotions, pretty much everything you need in the kitchen. It could use barbecue utensils for the charcoal grill. It's a few minutes walk down to the beach on the private road. We didn't utilize that due to the weather and the house and hot tub was great! Teresa was great to work with and ensured our stay was great. Thank you! Will rent again!

An amazing place to stay with family
Our extended family, 11 of us,stayed a few days in July. We had plenty of room to spread out and a lake experience to remember forever. We just couldn't get enough of the water, and learning to stand and paddle or do yoga on them. We had lovely dinners, talks, and some music time as my aunt plays piano...and she brought her music. It is a large place but also comfy and cozy. Cherries were ripe and Teresa shared some of her crop with us. The picture of the view is beautiful, but nothing compared to the real thing. GKeg

This was a great home with everything one could ask for.....
Even tho the home was great with everything one could ask for, The reason for the one star is the lack of returning my deposit, First call from Teresa said that the deposit was being returned via a check that would be going out in the morning mail, that she couldn't even tell that anyone stayed there, Week later another call from Teresa who again said check was going in the mail that day, four business days later still no refund of my deposit. I really wanted to give a five star review and even thought of bringing my family back and telling all of my friends that this place was one of the best rentals, it is unfortunate that I can't because of the failure to return my deposit with out a reason.

A classic cabin experience...
It may never make the pages of Architectural Digest, but if you're looking for an authentic family cabin experience on Flathead Lake, this place is tough to beat. The cabin feels like it's been in the family for generations-- with quirky renos and a mishmash of furniture, just like you'd expect. It was refreshing not to feel like we were staying in an art gallery or a museum. The vibe here is chill, friendly and authentic. Everything is spotlessly clean, including the bathrooms and hot-tub. Thoughtful touches abound-- like lots of spices, pantry items and every kind of plate, bowl, cup and utensil you could ask for. At the lake (a short meander down a country road through a cherry orchard) there were all the fixings for a fire, including metal sticks for marshmallows and even water paints and an easel. Two things that would be lovely to fix: The outside upholstery on some of the chairs on the top deck could use a good clean. And it would be awesome to have a swim ladder on the dock.
