Absolutely wonderful. Great location. With a creek! Nice stroll to downtown. The place was spotless and comfortable for the six of us. The icing on the cake is one night Bart had a campfire by the creek with chairs all set up for us!

Cottage was clean and well stocked. A little strange they don’t want any outdoor gear stored inside - I’m not interested in keeping my ski boots out in the cold. Otherwise a chill spot to stay in Bozeman.

Bart did a fabulous job welcoming us and preparing the house where we stayed. Every accoutrement we could need was there: Keurig machine, drip coffee maker, dish soap, tea kettle, abundant towels, shampoo, games , books, etc. The beds were extremely comfortable with lots of great pillows and blankets. Everything was spic and span, and we would definitely want to stay there again when in Bozeman.

Great cottage with good location in Bozeman. Located in a nice neighborhood and tucked back in the trees next to a stream. If the weather had been warmer, we would have enjoyed the nature. Cottage had everything we needed and we enjoyed our time. Host was attentive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

This place was easily the nicest vacation rental I have ever stayed in. My family and I did not want to leave! The whole place was very comfy and inviting. Everything was also clean. The location is perfect too. It’s in Bozeman city limits (not too far from MSU) but feels like a little private getaway in a wooded area with a nice creek nearby. Will definitely stay here again!

Bart's cottage was cozy and peaceful and near the beautiful Bozeman creek! I stayed solo for a few days and felt very safe. The beds, pillow and towels were comfie and all in great shape. Bonus that there were fans in all the rooms. It was also very close to a great city walking trail in town that leads to the public library and was close to MSU were our son is attending. And Bart was a good communicator. Would stay again!

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.
