Wonderful Stay in Bozeman

We really enjoyed our visit to Bozeman while staying in this very comfortable, well-appointed condo. Easy walk to downtown for fun events, restaurants, bars, yoga, and shopping. Beautiful tree-lined neighborhood for morning walks, as well as a great park a few blocks away for a picnic. Super clean, new unit with easy check-in. Definitely recommend for a couple or small family if visiting the area.

Perfect Location to Check Out Bozeman

We had a one night stay after flying into Bozeman mid-afternoon. We were able to check in and then spend the afternoon/evening walking around the Main Street area of Bozeman. It was an easy walk and we loved walking around. Host provided several recommendations for places to eat/drink. Those were much appreciated. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again.

Great Stay

Great stay in The Bear Den. Elinor was very responsive and wonderful to coordinate with. The condo was clean and as pictured. It had everything we needed. Her recommendations around Bozeman were top notch. (We loved her restaurant recs!) She also went out of her way to help us out when our flight was delayed. Highly recommend. Close to MSU and downtown, easy to walk and bike around town. Will be staying again! Thank you Elinor!

The Bear's Den is everything you need

I had a great stay. The walk from downtown is short and safe and the Latch entry system is seamless. The building is secure and quiet, and the unit was very clean and well provisioned. Even the kitchen has everything you need to cook if you choose. The king bed is stellar. The Bear's Den is perhaps the best short-term rental I have ever had. Thank you!

Lovely, new condo within a few blocks of downtown Bozeman! This unit is very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Communication with the host was excellent. For the easiest access to bring in luggage, find a street parking spot on the east side of the building. Would stay here again!
