Great place to spend a long weekend!
Our first time in Bozeman, Montana did not disappoint. Bart the VRBO host was responsive and friendly. Made a beautiful fire (set up ready to go upon arrival home) for our group after spending a long day driving to Yellowstone. Clean house supplied with everything we needed. Thanks Bart!

Truly Magical Cottage
I can't say enough about how impressed my entire family was with this cottage. It hits the mark all the way around and every review I read holds true...extremely clean, lots of extra touches that impress, truly comfortable beds & bedding, amazing hosts, etc. We all decided next year that we are staying longer as we were not ready to leave after 4 days. We were close to MSU and town although when we were relaxing around the firepit by the creek we felt like we were a world away. Bart went up and beyond making sure were comfortable and ensuring we had everything we need. I can't say enough how impressed we all were!

Perfect for 2 couples
Great location. After spending two weeks exploring Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks we enjoyed more outdoor time here. We spent time on the patio during the day and the owner was kind enough to set us up with firewood and an A-frame fire setup each night. The location near the creek was perfect. We easily walked to the Museum of the Rockies from the house and it was just a short drive to the Palisades Falls trailhead in Hyalite Canyon. A great place to stay when visiting Bozeman.

Babbling Brook
The house was perfect, just what we needed. It indeed has a Babbling Brook right out back, and we woke up to two Whitetail Deer in the yard one morning. The owner lives in the main house right near the property and is very nice. Great place, would stay again!

Labor Day Trip to Bozeman
We (me, husband, two kids ages 13,11) booked our stay for the NICA crosscut classic in bozeman for the weekend. This was a great spot! Bart was warm and friendly. Everything was exactly as listed. We especially loved the quiet spot to sit and decompress next to the stream. In the morning, a fawn strolled through the back yard. Beds are comfy, showers are hot and the kitchen had everything we needed! We hope to come back again next year! Thanks for having us!

This beautiful, relaxing property was exactly as it was listed. The host was responsive immediately when we let him know we would arrive later in the evening and made sure the lights were on for us. We stayed three nights and the only thing we would change is more time to stay longer!

Great! House, location and host
Exactly where we wanted to be! Close to college, close to downtown and yet felt like a world away sitting by babbling creek in trees. Although not big was set up well and accommodated our family. If we would have needed couch for bed would have been a little tight but worked great! Host even brought over personal grill when grill there wasn’t working. Thanks for sharing your get away cottage!

Quiet beautiful corner of Bozeman
We had a great stay in Bozeman for 3 nights. The cottage is located in quiet neighborhood just 1 mile south of downtown Bozeman. So convenient! Bart was a great host. We really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere of his place down by Bozeman Creek. We also enjoyed walking the Gallagater Linear Trail to downtown Bozeman. Thanks Bart!

Cute Cottage in Great Location
If you're looking for space you've got it in this cozy cottage. Two full bedrooms with on suite bathrooms - always a plus for us! Plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, etc. Kitchen was fully appointed and we wanted for nothing. Used the BBQ and cooked several meals. The beauty of the property did not disappoint. You could sit by the creek or do an outdoor fire in the ring. We could take the walking trail to town or do a very short drive. Enjoyed hiking, fishing on the Madison and Yellowstone. Owner was very friendly and helpful in making our plans complete. We'd book it again!

Bozeman wedding
Our group of 5 all agreed this was the cleanest VRBO any of have stayed at. There were plenty of large bath towels and kitchen towels. The area is very quiet with the creek flowing through the back yard. We felt safe in the area. Bart kindly got a fire all ready for us to go and it was a beautiful evening to sit out and relax. The gas grill was a nice addition to have. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us. We had the shortest checkout requirements we've ever seen. I definitely recommend staying here. We will stay again when we make it back to Bozeman.

Quiet cottage just outside of Bozeman
This 2 bedroom cottage was the perfect size and location for our first introduction to Bozeman. Bart went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and he was quick to respond whenever we had a question . The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped and it was very convenient having a washer and dryer at our disposal. We loved having the outdoor seating out front as well as the area by the stream where we were able to sit and relax. Although the cottage is that on the same property as Bart and his family, we had plenty of privacy. We highly recommend this spot!
