Let me tell you right off the bat that this review is going to be five stars. You can stop now or you can read on to find out why.
The setup: My wife and I flew into Bozeman to visit with my son, his wife and our two young grandkids. Our other son flew in with his significant other and stayed with us at River Country Hideaway.
The Hideaway, a country property, is a skip and a jump and maybe another skip from the airport. It is easy to find and is as peaceful as you could ask for yet is not far from State Highway 85 and I 90. It's a winning combination because you get a nice bucolic setting for your down time combined to easy access to everywhere you could want to go.
The Hideaway's claim of centralized locality is certainly justified. We are big on hiking and were 20 minutes from the Bridger Mountains trailheads and 30 from the Gallatin Mountains
trailheads while only 15 minutes from downtown Bozeman. The west entrance to Yellowstone is an hour and a half away but the landscape is so stunning and the park so deservedly iconic it's definitely worth the drive.
As to the accommodations themselves: there are two ensuite bedrooms and a public area half bath. It's a really nice setup when you have a large gathering and nicely private during quiet times. The apartment is a well appointed finished basement. Plenty of elbow room for a crowd and the open floor plan allows communication while avoiding the problem of everyone congregating in a single space.
And let me tell you it is accessorized and organized. I couldn't think a single thing that I would need or want for our stay that wasn't available. I'm talking kitchen, bathroom, laundry facility, entertainment, ad nauseam. Every cupboard and drawer is labeled. You need something? Just read the labels. It's in there, I guarantee it. We travel a lot and I have run into only a couple of BnB's as well and thoughtfully stocked as this one.
On the other points of concern that I usually have with BnB's: the entry protocol was easy and communications with the hosts were clear and timely. The place is most certainly clean, the beds are comfortable and the furnishings well placed. It is neither under or over appointed. So, as you can see, it's five stars from me.
