About this property

Ollie's House: Cozy Home, A Walk Away from Downtown/MSU

Built in 1935, this remodeled Craftsman style home offers the best of Bozeman!

Ollie's House is an inviting and sunlit historic home ideally located four blocks from Main street and two blocks from Cooper Park. Cooper Park is a full city block park that is dog friendly with beautiful spruce trees and picnic tables. The MSU campus is a 15-18 minute walk from the house.

When you enter the front door, the high ceilings, the sunny large windows and wood floors all lend to creating a warm space that is full of comfort and love. You are greeted by "Hank", a large and fun paper mache sheep created by a local artist. The wood stove and interesting and colorful artwork makes Ollie's House an inviting home to relax in.

On the main floor is the kitchen, living room, dining area, a full bathroom with tub/shower, an office area and tv/library room. The dining room table can expand to accommodate 8 people for a larger family gathering. The living room has comfortable seating and sitting chairs for relaxing and visiting or playing games. Adjacent to the living room is the library and tv room with a large sectional couch, for reading or watching a movie.

The kitchen has ash countertops and all the amenities/appliances you need. Ollie's House is fully equipped with a drip style and French press coffee maker, a coffee grinder, pots/pans, cooking utensils, spices, dry goods (flour, sugar, etc) dishwasher, microwave, a blender, an ice maker, linens and basic body products/ neccesities. We also provide local info and guide books on everything from where to buy locally grown vegetables to great hiking trails and restaurant suggestions.

All three bedrooms are upstairs from the main floor. The primary bedroom has a queen size bed with closet space, a floor / ceiling fan, an AC unit and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second upstairs bedroom has a king size bed, with ample closet storage, a floor / ceiling fan and AC unit. The third bedroom is smaller with a full size bed, perfect for kids or a solo guest (or a couple if they don't mind the full size). This room has a floor / ceiling fan. The second full bathroom with tub/shower can accommodate the guests staying in the second and third bedrooms. Keep in mind that on the main floor there is also a full bathroom with tub/shower. A pack-n-play is available for your use as well.

Upon request, there is also an additional bedroom with a queen size bed and full bathroom in the basement of the house. Typically the host keeps the basement closed off unless there is a request or need for the additional room. There is an extra fee if the room is needed. (Please inquire with the host if you are interested in the basement room.)

There is a small private fenced-in backyard garden with a patio that is equipped with chairs, a picnic table with umbrella and a barbecue grill. This outdoor space is festive with outdoor lighting and surrounded by flowers and aspen trees. The front yard and entrance offers a covered front porch with two outdoor chairs which offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee or a good book.

Ollie's House is your perfect base for exploring Bozeman’s vibrant downtown and surrounding natural beauty.

We had a wonderful stay from beginning to end. Kerry’s home is warm and inviting. There is such a sense of holiness throughout. Prior to our visit I had broken my ankle. Kerry made sure there was a shower chair for me and helped with other accommodations. Overall, our family had a fantastic stay!

Perfect Location!

Kerry’s place was the perfect home base for our trip out west. Super close to Main Street, coffee shops, restaurants and an added bonus - the farmer’s market! Check in and out was incredibly easy and Kerry was awesome. Clean house with all amenities and plenty of space for six adults. Cannot recommend this property enough!

Perfect spot to stay when visiting Bozeman

Our crew of 6 stayed at this great house while visiting our sons at MSU. It is only a couple of blocks from Main Street and not even a mile from MSU campus. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms worked greeat for our two families and the kitchen was well-equipped for feeding our kids a much-desired "home" cooked meal. Kerry was incredibly attentive and responsive, and we'd love to stay here again in the future.

Comfortable and convenient

The house has many comfortable spaces so there is always seemed to be a quiet corner if needed, but the main kitchen/living space provided a nice open flow, The furniture and beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked with everything. It is very conveniently located for downtown and the park at the end of the block was a real plus for a quiet walk.

Convenient Location

This house is in a great location, a few blocks off Main and only about a 15 minute walk to most places we wanted to go in town. There were 7 of us in our group and opted to include the basement access for the extra bed/bath. The house had everything we needed to prepare meals and snacks and we sat on the back patio quite often! Would recommend for groups who are getting priced out by the hotels/luxury homes in the area.

Outstanding!

My family and I have stayed in many houses via VRBO and others, and we all agreed that this one was the best, by far. The photos, as nice as they are, don't do justice to how nice the place really is, particularly the back yard. We enjoyed the eclectic art, some of which was created by Kerry, the owner (who was also exemplary and a pleasure to meet). The location is ideal: a very quiet and very peaceful neighborhood, but only 2-10 minutes walk to downtown. Bottom line: my wife travels frequently to Bozeman for work, and she is going to book this place for future trips to house her and other out-of-town co-workers.

We had an excellent stay at Ollie's House! The house feels very homey with the decor. There is great artwork and beautiful pottery. We enjoyed the large house, as it gave our group of 7 space to spread out. Of note, all of the bedrooms are either on the second floor or in the basement. The host was very accommodating and we were able to set up an air mattress for my grandma in the TV room since she can't do stairs well. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would book this home again if we ever needed.
