Good to know: The Bridger is a cozy 800 sq ft home with one bathroom, so mornings take a little coordination for groups of five or six. It is advisable to purchase trip insurance separately through a 3rd party provider, as you never know what can happen with your plans!

Bozeman through the seasons

Summer

Long days for hiking the Bridgers and Hyalite, floating rivers, and Yellowstone trips. Bogert Farmers' Market is a short walk away, and Music on Main fills downtown on summer evenings.

Fall

Bobcat football Saturdays at MSU, a mile from the door. Golden aspens, quieter trails, and thinner crowds in Yellowstone.

Winter

Bridger Bowl is about 30 minutes away and Big Sky about an hour. The Yellowstone road from Gardiner to Lamar Valley stays open for winter wildlife watching.

Spring

One of the quietest times to visit. Yellowstone's roads begin reopening in mid-April, and the Museum of the Rockies is a mile away for rainy days.

I booked this for my family that was visiting town and they had an awesome stay! The place is very homey, and they had everything from a coffee grinder to spices. Check in/out was straightforward and Mike was very easy to communicate with and helpful. Definitely will book again when they come back!

his was a great place for our family of 5 to stay while in Bozeman. We LOVED all of the walking trails and parks in the city. The beds were very comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. The neighborhood was peaceful and so close to all the things we wanted to do. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. They provide the most detailed recommendations of any Airbnb we have stayed at. We would highly recommend this place!

Stop looking, you've found it. If you need a peaceful, comfortable and a genuinely cared for home in Bozeman, then this is it. Located only a short walk of 20 minutes through a tree lined residential area and you're in Main street. Or, there are many walking trails in close proximity to enjoy the beautiful Montana countryside. The location of this listing is superb. Ample parking for your car. Two private patios for outdoor relaxation, one with a gas BBQ. Comfortable furniture throughout including the beds and linens. Well equipped kitchen and a full laundry. We felt at home in this house right away. The host and his wife have great interpersonal skills and were a mine of information. They graciously allowed us an early check in and it was very much appreciated. If we are ever lucky enough to be in Bozeman again then we will definitely stay here. Thanks you very much Michael and Meagan.

Great house and location to celebrate MSU graduation. We enjoyed the outdoor space and the barbecue grill. There were games and a well stocked kitchen. We appreciated all the info and the quick response when we ran out of propane. Wonderful weekend!

The location was super convenient to downtown with the bonus of a scenic rail trail where we went for plenty of runs and walks during our stay. We also were able to easily walk downtown (side walk access). The inside of the house was clean and spacious for our family of 4. We weren’t crazy about the neighborhood or outside of the house but it didn’t affect our feelings of safety or comfort. We were missing a few items such as toilet paper and paper towels and after I picked some up, Meagan quickly reimbursed me which was really thoughtful. The house also got pretty warm (we were there in August) but each bedroom has a large floor fan to use which helped. Kitchen is stocked with everything you’d need to cook in too which we loved. The hosts provided a really helpful binder to answer questions and offer great suggestions for activities and restaurants. Overall, our stay was great, especially for the price!

We were very comfortable at Madison house. Meagan and Michael have created an extremely accommodating space with clear information and helpful resources. Check-in was seamless and the home was spotless. The kitchen is very well stocked and the beds are cozy. The area is quiet and easy to access. We would have liked to explore the area more but were ‘stuck’ inside due to inclement weather. However, we were totally happy enjoying the warmth and comfort of the home and the games, books and area information provided. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend Meagan and Michael’s space!
