282: Tiny house, heart of Missoula
A few years ago, we built a tiny house in Missoula, Montana. We call it 282 because the space is 282 square feet of bright, clean, open space. Our family of four lived in 282 for two years and we found tiny living quite comfortable. We have since moved into the main residence on the property and want to share our tiny living experience with others who are visiting our lovely mountain town. Recently updated, 282 offers one queen-sized bed. The space can accomodate two people. 282 is a studio with a full kitchen (stove, fridge, sink, etc.) and one bathroom with a sink, toilet and shower. It is completely stocked with dishes, pots, pans, a coffee maker and towels. It has a kitchen table and french doors that open onto a small patio. The house is separated from the main residence by a privacy fence and has its own entrance.
282 is a ten-minute walk to downtown Missoula, a ten-minute bike ride (20-minute walk) to the University of Montana and is nestled in Missoula's eclectic Northside neighborhood. Full of artists, writers and filmmakers, the Northside has a brewery, an art's center and, in summer, an outdoor cinema. It's a short bike ride to Greenough Park, the Rattlesnake trailhead and the Clark Fork River.
We have public transportation a few blocks away and our close-in location allows you to walk downtown.
We live on the same block and are happy to help answer any questions about swimming holes, restaurants serving local food or where to find the best latte in town.

This is such a great place to stay! It was clean, well organized and so quiet. We have 2 small dogs and the yard space was perfect for them. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you
Moving to town for work soon and wanted a place close to the acrion
A nicely secluded and simple tiny house just a 5 minute walk to downtown. Checking in and out were simple and easy too. Will definitely recommend this to friends that come to visit in the future.
This little home is cute, clean and convenient. Although it is a ADU behind the main home we felt we had all the privacy we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and pet friendly which was greatly appreciated. We were comfortable in the house even in the heat of summer and were thankful for the air conditioning. We would not hesitate to stay here again when visiting Missoula.
We loved this tiny house - we found it clean, even more spacious than I expected from the pics, private, and comfortable. We were only in Missoula for a brief overnight stay, but loved the vibe of the neighborhood, etc. It was an active neighborhood, and parking wasn't available super close when we arrived, but it wasn't terrible, and more parking was available the next day when we were loading up and checking out.

We liked the cleanliness and how well appointed it was for a tiny home. The bed was very comfortable…perfect for our one night stay. One thing I didn’t understand was the stacking of extra bathroom towels on open shelves in the outdoor patio area where they were exposed to dust, insects, etc. That being said, we didn’t need the extra towels and we would stay here again.
I was supposed to stay with my boyfriend who was flying into Missoula the night we were staying here. However, his flight ended up getting delayed until the following morning, so it was just me. I was so upset about not needing this place and driving all the way out here for nothing, basically, but I realized this place was soooo cute and had my own little staycation! The bed was comfortable and the shower was cool, it was quiet and had amazing natural light in the morning. For sure would rebook if in town again!

Poor value for money
Only two coat hangers. No paper towels. Dirty floor in the bath. Dirty windows. Four missing/burned out light bulbs. Bath mirror not cleaned. Used bar of soap in shower. 8 ceiling fixture cans extending 1 1/2" from ceiling. Dirty exhaust fan. Broken bath door stop. Patio not swept off. Extra towels were on the porch/patio open to the elements. Way too expensive to have all these issues.
However, the bed was comfortable and the floor and countertops in the main room were very clean.
Property was as described in the ad - very comfortable and thoughtfully designed and equipped. The neighborhood is a nice residential area but restaurants and city attractions are all a short drive away. The front house was apparently rented as well as the ADU that we stayed in - we expected the host would be in the house based on the ad. This wasn’t a problem, but no contact with the host while we were there.
We had a lovely time staying at 282 tiny w our 2 dogs. The space was set up perfect for what we needed. Private alley entrance and separately fenced patio/yard was a plus. The location is great! Easily walkable to downtown, parks, and a trail on the other side of the highway. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable vrbo in the heart of Missoula.
