Perfect Bozeman Rental

This is the second time we have stayed at the SoBo cottage, while visiting our daughter and SIL in Bozeman. This property is so wonderful, I hesitate to make it known to others :) It is perfectly situated (just one block off Main Street), beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and Lisa is an amazingly attentive host. SoBo feels like "home," but for us, it is really more like a dream home that we wished was ours to keep! This is the only rental for us in Bozeman.

Five Stars: SoBo Cottage

Our stay at SoBo Cottage was absolutely delightful! The location couldn't have been more perfect, putting us right in the heart of all the action, yet the cottage itself offered a peaceful and cozy retreat. We loved being able to walk to the fantastic restaurants, and shops on Main Street. The charming decor and thoughtful amenities made us feel right at home. The cottage was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The host's attention to detail was evident. We'd highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base to explore beautiful Bozeman.

Perfect For Us

SoBo was just perfect for our family visit! The bed was super comfy as was the pull out couch. The little corner fireplace was cozy and made us feel so warm and welcome. Lisa was the best for telling us all the little special details about her home - and there were several that we appreciated from the cool lighting to the beautiful decor and artwork. Thank you Lisa for opening your home for guests to enjoy the area and downtown so close by!

This property does not disappoint! Checks all the boxes for everything you want in a vacation property and the location could not be more convenient.

BEST in all ways, REALLY!

I cant say enough about Lisa's house! The location is perfect: one block and one house away from Main Street, the charm of Main Street Bozeman is accessible without a car, without having to park. Breakfasts, all meals, great shopping, just walk out the door and turn left. There's also a dedicated off street parking spot for ease of coming and going by car. But the inside! It's clean, not just cleaned before you check in clean, but really, the furniture feels clean, the blankets all feel clean, the kitchen and dishes all feel clean, all of it. And it's outfitted like a real home! Not like it's been staged all at once from discount stores. She has antiques, newer pieces, real artwork, a variety of lighting and light fixtures, seating, I really felt like I was in someone's well-cared for home. My husband kept saying, "she must live here." I dont think she does, maybe she did once, but I just think she has taken her time and care and used real family furniture to outfit the place. The kitchen is ready for cooking a real meal. There are blanket and comforter options for the bed. There are multiple pillow options. The towels feel new. The living room gets great light pouring in. It's just the sweetest little place. I would love to stay again sometime!

Perfect Location

This delightful cottage is in the perfect location…just one block off the main shopping & dining street in Bozeman. We did not rent a car, but didn’t need one to reach boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, brew pubs and even the local coop. Despite being so close to the action, it was amazingly quiet in the cottage…perfect for a good night’s sleep after a busy day. Lisa, the host, is terrifically responsive. The cottage, her labor of love for many years, is both impeccable and beautifully decorated. We hope to stay again on our next trip.

Cute and Perfectly Located

I loved this cottage so much! I found it ideal for just myself, not too big, but had all the thoughtful touches and ammenities. High quality bed, helpful notes all over, a truly close-to-Main street location that has little to no traffic. Communication with owner very friendly and extremely helpful. I'd stay there again, for sure!
