Winter Getaway Home Away from Home

Being from MT, I wanted to share the beauty of Bozeman with my girlfriends. Looked into hotels in the area but decided a house would be so much better for our group. This house was PERFECT! It was exactly as decribed, well stocked, and Kathi & Monti were so enjoyable to work with. The garage was a life saver for us as it snowed 7 inches the day we arrived (Monti actually greeted us when we arrived as he was shoveling our driveway). The hot tub was amazing after a day of skiing, easy to use and allowed for some awesome swimsuit snow angels. I really could go on about all the amenities we enjoyed but I think you should stay here and find out for yourself!!

Owner response:Thank you Rebecca! We are so glad you had such a good time. K & M

I can't say enough positive things about the Bare's House, it was so clean, warm and cozy. It was a perfect place for our 2 families to converge for Xmas and still feel at home. The kitchen was better equiped then mine. The whole house is nicely decorated, with 2 living areas to allow for TV and non-TV familiy time. The hot tub is the icing on the cake after a day of skiing. Thanks Kathi for sharing your home with us!

I live in Bozeman and when my family came out for a week to visit, they stayed at Kathi and Montie's house. It was far beyond our expectations! Clean, comfortable and stocked with every amenity you can think of. Perfectly located next to The Museum of the Rockies (they went back 3 times), plus plenty of great eating. The hot tub is glorious, the beds all comfy, the neighborhood quiet. One morning was chilly with socked-in rain and we were perfectly happy to stay put, drink extra coffee and relax. The Bare's have really gone above and beyond with attention and caring details. I don't hesitate to recommend their house to anyone. They're also very nice people!

A Wonderful Home For a Bozeman Vacation

My wife and I celebrated 20 years of marriage at the Bare's home. It was warm, cozy and very clean. The home is outfitted with all the amenities one would expect for twice the price. The Bare's are wonderful people who are the ultimate hosts for a trip to Bozeman. Even better, there are two great restaurants within walking distance of the home (The Sola Cafe and Lemongrass Thai). Bottom line...I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone looking for a wonderful vacation in Bozeman!

My family stayed in this home for a week while exploring Bozeman and the surrounding area. It was convenient, impeccably clean, and the owners could not have been nicer. Plenty of room for the kids, and a nice place to hang out. Especially the hot tub!! We went to the fair & the city pool. We walked to the museum and on gorgeous walking trails. Great restaurant, Sola, right up the street.

gathering here and the house worked so well for us. I have never before rented space so well equipped, well stocked, home-like and yet practical. An amazing combination. Thanks for what you do and the way you do it.

We were in Bozeman for a family wedding. Your house was appreciated by all 7 adults. The number & layout of the bathrooms and bedrooms were fantastic. We were also pleased by the solid floors - no squeaky noises to wake us up. The younger folks were impressed by the hot tub – particularly the lighting! Because we moved about the area independently of each other, the coded (keypad) lock was very nice – no need to exchange keys. Thanks so much for making the house available. We hope to be a guest in your home again when we return here. Sincerely, Richard & Dorothea L., Burke, VA Kim & Ethan V., Denver, Co. Heather & Jeremy L., South Riding, VA Jason L., Burke, VA P.S. Because houses like this take up more ground, you rarely see this type of floor plan in new homes back east. It’s a nice layout.

Thank you very much for allowing us to rent your property--it was perfect!! We would not have been able to find anything nearly as impressive at a hotel. The listing is very accurate and the property very well cared for. The owner was very helpful in answering questions and giving us the information we needed there is a cool home atmosphere and we got to use a hot tub.:) Plus it was within walking distance of where we needed to get which we enjoyed because we drove a long way the previous 2 days and really didnt want to walk.:) Thanks again highly recommend it!

We stayed over the 2010 New Years with some friends and had a great time. The house is spacious, even for all 8 of us, and had everything we needed for a great weekend. We mostly stayed in the home and played games and relaxed. Very nice place.

Bozeman is a 1/2 way point where our family likes to meet and the Bare's home is perfect for such a gathering. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax, eat and play with all the amenities of home and a great hot tub for after skiing soaks. We would highly recommend this home.

My husband Zach and I frequently stay in rentals we find at VRBO. The Bares' is by far the best we've encountered! Aside from being immaculate, it had more features and amenities than our own home. The hot tub was obviously well-maintained and a newer model. There are several areas in the spacious back yard to hang out and relax, including an upstairs deck with a fabulous view and high-tech grill. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet -- we saw rabbits and deer crossing backyard creekbed. We were able to easily ride our bikes to the university and downtown areas. The kitchen, bath and laundry facilities are top-notch. Cozy fireplaces abound and the decor is upscale and homey at the same time. What more can you ask for? We highly recommend it to Bozeman visitors!

We rented Bare's home for MSU graduation weekend. It was the perfect location for our family to gather. The house is exceptionally clean and well-equipped. We would certainly recommend this home to others considering visiting Bozeman with a group.

To whom it may concern…I have stayed at the Bare’s Guest House on a number of occasions for over 10 years needing overnight accommodations for business, theater, games, etc. It is attractive, quiet, comfortable, well stocked, cozy, convenient to Bozeman, Downtown and the MSU campus. We love all the fireplaces and cozy overstuffed furniture and sharp bathrooms. The new laundry area is great. The Bares are friendly, business like, and most accommodating. Having a BnB ourselves, we are quite fussy. Whether for a night or a week, my husband and I recommend it to all.

What a wonderful place to stay! The Bares really put a lot of care and attention into providing a comfortable place for folks away from their own homes. So many ammenities made the rental feel like I was in my own home.

We rented this home for 10 days at Thanksgiving so all four generatins of our family could get together for the holidays. It was a perfect place for our vacation. The kitchen was very well equiped. We even cooked the turkey outside on the heavy duty gas grill. The family room downstairs complete with toys was a great place for the kids to hang out. The hot tub far superior to ours at home! And the laundry room, normally something that I would not even mention was amazing. The mutliple fireplaces made the home warm and cozy. This home was much more than we expected. We are definitely coming back next year. Thanks to the Bares for paying so much attention to the details that made our stay so pleasant. Doris L.
