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 short walk 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 close by for rainy days.

What a beautiful place. Very comfortable, very clean, and very well equipped .
The house is in the perfect location to access MSU, shops, and all the main roads. The neighborhood was nice and quiet.
Meagan and Michael were the perfect hosts with great communication.
I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking in the future for when I come to visit my son at MSU.

Our stay at Meagan and Michael's place was terrific. It has a very comfortable and homey feel, which we appreciated because our week in Bozeman was a bit crazy. It was nice to just come "home" and relax. The photos posted online are a correct representation of what you will get when you walk in the front door.
We made dinner for a crowd on Monday evening. The kitchen had all the tools I needed, and we were able to extend the table with additional leaves so everyone had a seat. We were able to do laundry when needed, plenty of towels in the bathroom and the kitchen, and we really didn't need a thing to make our stay any better. We will stay again if it's available for our next trip to Bozeman.

This was an excellent place to stay and serve as a launching point to Big Sky, West Yellowstone. The neighborhood was extremely quiet, the beds were comfortable, and the house had everything we needed. It's also very close and convenient to downtown for restaurants, shopping, etc. The whole process was very easy and straightforward - the hosts even provided a VERY thorough guide to the area with pretty much any information you might need. We would definitely stay here again.

My family and I stayed here for my sister's wedding. I was so happy and comfortable in this home. They had all the things we needed from wifi, condiments, extra towels, toys, to shampoo etc. It was helpful to have the thoughtful little extras during our busy stay. They communicated very well and promptly. I would 100% recommend this place to others. I truly appreciate their hospitality!

We had a great time. It was nice for to let someone else do the work. We enjoyed our day of dining out, visiiting the Museum of the Rockies, relaxing with a deep tissue massage at Wellness Worx Day Spa and our evening soaking in the warm spring waters of Bozeman Hotsprings. The accommodations were economical providing our group of 5 adults all we needed. Nice central location which was close to shopping, restaurants, the University area and within 15 minutes of the Museum and 30 minutes from the ski mountain had we more time to visit.

This place was adorable. We were 4 bridesmaids in town for our friend's wedding. The house met our needs quite nicely. Meagan and Michael were fast to reply when we had questions. One note, the room with two twin beds is a little tight for two grown women and better suited if you are travelling with kiddos, but we made it work for the four nights we were there. Just something to note as you are planning to book! Many thanks! We enjoyed our stay.
