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.

4.9
Out of 5 from 430 reviews on Airbnb. 91% are five stars.
Guests mention most: location (217), hospitality (147), cleanliness (132), comfort (114), great for families (67), walkability (45), the kitchen (42), check-in (18), skiing (13), and hiking (12).
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.
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.
