Welcome to the East Mo Bungalow: Close to Downtown, Kettlehouse Amp, U of M, Clark Fork River!
Just like a hotel stay: our guests have zero chores, cleaning, or laundry required upon leaving! Nestled in Hellgate Canyon between Mount Jumbo and Mount Sentinel on the banks of the Clark Fork River, East Missoula (or "East Mo" as the locals call it) is the perfect spot for quick access to the best Missoula has to offer. The East Mo Bungalow is just a 5-minute drive to Downtown or the Kettlehouse Brewery & Amphitheater in Bonner; a quick walk to the Sha-Ron Fishing Access & East Mo Beach on the Clark Fork River for floating/fishing/relaxing/sight-seeing; a stone's throw to the North Loop Kim Williams Trail, Canyon River Golf Course, or Milltown State Park; and right upstream from the University of Montana to catch a Griz home game. The property offers spectacular views of sunrises over Mount Sentinel as the morning fog burns off the mountains, and breathtaking evenings as the sun falls behind Mount Jumbo.
