The Downtown Lovely - Historic yet modern space downtown
There is no better way to experience the eclectic, vibrant, culturally diverse mountain town of Livingston than staying downtown in one of it's convenient and historical buildings! A fun blend of history, vintage building with modern amenities. Walking distance to all the fun, food, shops and scenery of this once bustling railroad town. You will fall in love with Livingston's character, beauty and friendly locals.
The Downtown Lovely is in one of the most beautiful, historic buildings downtown. Once a hotel during Livingston's heyday when it was the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park; the bright and peaceful space is all you need for a quick weekend in Livingston or a longer stay for work or travel. Did we mention, it is just lovely ...
The one bedroom apartment is located on the second level with extra tall ceilings, large windows, a newly remodeled kitchen with updated appliances and a large bathroom with clawfoot tub.
The living room has a couch that converts to a very nice queen size sleeper sofa, smart TV, Victrola record player and a few eclectic tunes. The quaint dining area has seating for 4, and a large desk for any "work from home" needs.
The apartment has high speed internet . We also have two window ac units - one in the bedroom and one in the dining room. There is no onsite laundry, but we do have two laundromats in town.
Well behaved pets are allowed with PRIOR approval and a $200 non-refundable pet fee. They must be kept on leash and there is no area for them to do their business unless you walk around the block (and of course pick up after your pooch!). They are not to be left unattended (and not barking) in the apartment.
Parking is 2 hour just in front of the apartment, but less than 1 block away are city streets where cars can be left overnight and longer than 2 hours.

Amazing, safe, lively and beautiful part of downtown Livingston. You are in "The Grabow," a well maintained, historic building and former turn-of-the-century hotel, now hosting individually owned condos and apartments. There is a common area on the first level of of the building so you can spread out and relax and take in the local scenery.
Livingston is very walkable! So, around town you will find you can eat, drink and play easily on foot. However, we recommend a vehicle so you can drive to Yellowstone, hiking trails and other excursions. We always recommend 4 wheel drive.
There are 24 steps to get to the apartment. There is no elevator in the building. Parking is limited on the street and 2 hour on the streets just outside the building. Vehicles must be parked 1 block away to avoid the 2-hour parking tickets!

Such a nice little place perfect for any length of stay. Great location, immaculate apartment, great town! The historic Garbow Hotel is really beautiful and unique. We loved Livingston and will definitely be back!
Very lovely apartment. The bed is very hard so be prepared if you aren’t used to hard beds. The pillows were great! We enjoyed being downtown so we could walk everywhere. Livingston has some really nice shops. When we had questions we got responses very quick. The apartment was well stocked. Absolutely loved it

We had such a wonderful stay in Livingston. We loved the apartment and it was perfect for our short week away. The location is excellent, close to all the fun downtown shops and restaurants. Hope to come back soon!
We stayed here for a wedding in downtown Livingston. We could walk everywhere which was great. Located on the second floor so there were some steps to climb to get to the apartment. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The apartment was very clean. Would definitely recommend it and stay again!
What a convenient place to explore paradise valley and Livingston!

We have stayed in Livingston before but our first time at this lovely apartment. The apartment was super clean and comfortable and was an easy walk to all of the shops and restaurants and Pubs. We will stay again!
We enjoyed our stay in Livingston. Great vibrant historic town.
The apartment, while small, is perfect for a couple. The AC units are noisy but luckily the heatwave broke the day we got there. Building is quiet and well located.

The Downtown Lovely in Livingston was exactly that! We loved our stay in this wonderful apartment and historic building. The space was incredibly clean and comfortable and exactly as described, with cozy touches throughout. The building itself is also beautiful and the location could not have been more perfect! We loved that we could walk to all of the unique shops and restaurants in this incredible town. The food here was a bonus to the amazing scenery and history. We especially loved The Fainting Goat! The town was so memorable and this apartment is a great space to enjoy it. I hope to return! Thank you!

Great place to stay away from the crowds.
Super cool spot - so close to so many parks and homes. It is right in the middle of the downtown - so easy for us with a baby! We could come back to the apartment and walk to so many great show and restraints making things so easy after a long day out.

Why they chose this property
The Downtown Lovely is just that. Lovely. You will find yourself in a space that is peaceful, bright, clean and convenient. You will meet lovely people on your easy morning strolls to coffee shops, cafe's and galleries. The western streets of Livingston are framed with towering mountains, friendly faces and the charm of the west. Summers are glorious and green and winters a stunning white (albeit windy) and not for the faint of heart.
What makes this property unique
The historic building that houses the Lovely is beautiful, well maintained and a part of Livingston's history. You are walking distance to everything downtown (the heart of the area) as well as the beautiful Yellowstone River, famed public parks and a beautiful 45 minute drive to Yellowstone National Park. You are still only 30 minutes to bustling Bozeman where you will find more shops, restaurants, Montana State University and the amenities of a larger city.
