The cabin was perfect for our family while visiting our son who is an MSU student! We enjoyed hearing the creek flowing when we sat on the front porch! The property was very clean and the location was close to town as well as some great hiking spots!

This was the best VRBO we've ever stayed at. Location in town was extremely convenient, yet nicely tucked away along the creek in a beautiful setting. The home is perfect for our needs, two clean bedrooms with attached baths, and a fully stocked kitchen for cooking while we were staying in Bozeman. We enjoyed the fire pit by the creek, along with the porch that also had a working grill. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. Hopefully we'll get to stay here again next time we're in Bozeman.

Cottage and creek are perfect for kids and adults alike. The boys preferred fishing in the creek and making s’mores at night to skiing or any other activities. Host is accommodating and genuinely kind.

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.

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.
