Super cute and convenient cottage

Cottage is super cute and has everything you need for a short or longer stay. We really enjoyed sitting in the back garden and enjoying Bozeman’s spring weather. Bed is super comfortable and linens are all high quality and in excellent condition. The property was spotless, has a well stocked kitchen with everything you need to make a gourmet meal. Or not. A short walk will take you to Main Street and numerous restaurants and cafes.

Perfect For Us

SoBo was just perfect for our family visit! The bed was super comfy as was the pull out couch. The little corner fireplace was cozy and made us feel so warm and welcome. Lisa was the best for telling us all the little special details about her home - and there were several that we appreciated from the cool lighting to the beautiful decor and artwork. Thank you Lisa for opening your home for guests to enjoy the area and downtown so close by!

Perfect Bozeman Rental

This is the second time we have stayed at the SoBo cottage, while visiting our daughter and SIL in Bozeman. This property is so wonderful, I hesitate to make it known to others :) It is perfectly situated (just one block off Main Street), beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and Lisa is an amazingly attentive host. SoBo feels like "home," but for us, it is really more like a dream home that we wished was ours to keep! This is the only rental for us in Bozeman.

Five Stars: SoBo Cottage

Our stay at SoBo Cottage was absolutely delightful! The location couldn't have been more perfect, putting us right in the heart of all the action, yet the cottage itself offered a peaceful and cozy retreat. We loved being able to walk to the fantastic restaurants, and shops on Main Street. The charming decor and thoughtful amenities made us feel right at home. The cottage was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The host's attention to detail was evident. We'd highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base to explore beautiful Bozeman.

Walk to restaurants, quaint well appointed cottage

My husband and I, plus our adult son, stayed for three nights in this adorable, well appointed cottage. Lisa has done a fabulous job renovating this cottage, thinking about every detail and making even nooks and crannies Beautiful. The kitchen had all the cooking supplies you’d need but we were blocks from amazing foodie restaurants so cooking was unnecessary. The queen bed was comfortable and our adult son said the pullout couch was new and good. It was nice to have an extra sink in the bedroom, making having one bathroom easier to navigate with three of us. The backyard was lovely for hanging out over cocktail hour. And we took a couple of long urban trails for walks right from this centrally located house both days. 1.5 miles to the Museum of the Rockies on the Gallaghater trail. I would stay here again if ever in Bozeman.
