Each floor includes bedrooms (two upstairs, three downstairs), a bathroom, a full kitchen and a full living room. You won't find anything else like it in downtown Bozeman! Our charming, historic house (built in 1932!) is located in the beautiful neighborhood of Cooper Park. The property is located just one block from Bozeman's Main Street where the city's best restaurants and shops can be found. There are delicious breakfast, lunch and coffee spots within a 2-minute walk. Bridger Bowl ski area, Hyalite Canyon, the Madison River and many other outdoor recreation destinations are just a short drive away. Cared for by a superhost with more than 15 years hosting experience, you are sure to have the best stay possible!

Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our stay, one night in Bozeman What a location, within walking distance of shops and restaurants, and a cozy spacious place to stay! We had 5 adults in our party, the basement and main floor gave us so much room, a bedroom each and two full baths, and a divine fenced in backyard that we only could take advantage of for a couple of hours given that we only stayed one night, we would have been out there every night if we stayed longer. Love the access to a fire pit. We hope to be back again someday, we’ll look for this listing if when we frequent the area again. :) ##### Katrina G.

Our stay was a fantastic fit for our group of eight attending a sporting event in Bozeman. The basement was fantastic for our female athletes with another kitchen in the baement for their breakfasts. The upstairs fit our other four just great. The upstairs had enough room for our group suppers. With the close proximity to downtown and the university it gave lots of walking options for our group. Awesome location and a great house with good options for a large group. We would definitely come and stay again. ##### Craig F. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise S.
