Comfortable cottage in a delightful setting!! The cottage is a perfect size with plenty of room, amenities, and privacy for two couples. We enjoyed the yard with a large grass area and easy access to the creek. It is a nice quiet retreat near a number of restaurants and shops. Our host was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Bozeman ski trip

We had a great time staying at Bart‘s cottage. He was very helpful and offered for us to walk on his wood deck rather than the icy path, which we appreciated! The kitchen is well stocked, and we appreciated all the extra amenities. We would recommend staying here!

Winter break

The cottage was absolutely perfect! It was very clean and had many amenities. Its location was quiet and serene even though you are only about a mile from downtown. Bart was great and shoveled the snow from our walkway and deck every day that we were there.

cozy cabin during snowstorm

We stayed for 3 days in January after a visit to Yellowstone. Secluded yet nextdoor to hosts if any issues come up. Spacious, one floor, well insulated so stayed warm despite subzero temps. Spacious and well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Beautiful surroundings and walkable to university, Museum of Rockies, and downtown via small streets and a nearby walking trail. Great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Bart Manion

Host profile image
We have lived in downtown Bozeman for 30 years and absolutely love where we live. We know the community well and love sharing our beautiful property with visitors.

Why they chose this property

We are in the heart of historic Bozeman which has not drastically changed over the years. Our neighborhood still has the small town feel with family homes, ball park, playgrounds, walking trails and community garden. And MSU is within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

We are on the one of the last remaining 1 acre parcels in the middle of town. In addition, it sits on Bozeman creek which runs all year round. It feels like you are in the country yet you are in the middle of town.
