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!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this property. SO clean! They thought of everything you might need and then some. They have games and books to enjoy and the Roku TV was awesome. You can have a fire, walk in the creek, grill and even become friends with an awesome dog named Henry who greets you. Bart (the property host) was so incredibly nice and just a door knock away. It was very close to town which was so convenient. I would 100 % recommend this Vrbo and we will definitely stay there again on our next visit.

Comfortable cottage in a delightful setting!! The cottage is a perfect size with plenty of room, amenities, and privacy for two couples. We enjoyed the yard with a large grass area and easy access to the creek. It is a nice quiet retreat near a number of restaurants and shops. Our host was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Bozeman ski trip

We had a great time staying at Bart‘s cottage. He was very helpful and offered for us to walk on his wood deck rather than the icy path, which we appreciated! The kitchen is well stocked, and we appreciated all the extra amenities. We would recommend staying here!

The cottage was absolutely perfect! It was very clean and had many amenities. Its location was quiet and serene even though you are only about a mile from downtown. Bart was great and shoveled the snow from our walkway and deck every day that we were there.

About the host

Hosted by Bart Manion

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.
