Quiet piece of heaven

We loved our time here! Great location for running into town and skiing at Bridger Bowl. Beds were very comfortable, and the hosts were fantastic. Our favorite part was the nightly hot tub soaks with the mountain views and sunset!

The perfect getaway

This was exactly what my wife and I were looking for, a quiet, out of the way place that is perfect for recharging and reconnecting with your loved one. Melody and Edin were wonderful hosts and were there for anything we needed. The beds were fantastic! The most comfortable we've ever had at a vacation rental. We loved their hot tub too, nothing better than in an hot tub enjoying the Big Sky country as the sun sets! We would highly recommend this property to anyone.

So wonderful

My son and I loved our stay here. It is a beautiful property. The house is lovely and has everything you need. The hot tub is amazing. The neighbor horses are very sweet and will come to you if you stand by the fence. The view is incredible. It’s a quiet, peaceful setting but not far from town. Just perfect. Thank you so much to the owners. I’ll never forget my time in Montana heaven.

Great stay!

We had a great five night stay. Plenty of space for our family of 6 - beds were SO comfortable and so were the couches indoors and the patio furniture was nice, too! So fun to wake up to the horses - they were super friendly! We used the hot tub a bunch (so nice with awesome views of the sunset) and we used the grill (the kitchen is fully stocked!) The house is close to downtown Bozeman and there are endless things to do there, we also took a day to see Yellowstone National Park and it was about 90 minutes from the house. We loved our stay! We hope to return one day!

Great little home with everything you need!

The property was perfect for our family of 5 (grandpa, mom, dad and 2 young kids). Everyone had plenty of space and separation when needed. Bonus amenities were the hot tub, fully stocked kitchen and bathroom cabinets with useful supplies, and of course the views! It's a central location - only 15 minutes from the downtown Bozeman area as well as the airport, 30 minutes to Bridger Bowl, 1 hour to Big Sky and 2 hours to Yellowstone. We were able to do lots of activities each day and then get back to the house to relax without a ton of effort. Also loved the big kitchen table and the upstairs bar table, both used often for meals and card games! Owners kept up communication leading to our arrival and then checked in to make sure things were going well - they didn't bug us. Overall it was a clean, in a good location, and we would go back!

Relaxing location

The house was furnished with everything needed, which made the stay more enjoyable, as we didn't have to run to the store for random items. The hot tub with the amazing views was great after a day of adventures. The house had two air conditioners which allowed for the temperature to be right where we wanted it. The location is very good since it is close to Bozeman and some local hiking trails, but far enough out so that it is quiet. I recommend this house to anyone who wants to visit this area of Montana. Thanks Melody and Edin, we had a great time!

Fantastic Slice of Heaven!

We spent the week at the Roost & cannot say enough about the entire experience! The house is exceptionally clean and well stocked. The beds are incredibly comfortable. It is peaceful and tranquil! Melody was an exquisite host with lots of great recommendations. She even helped me get my daughter a birthday cake from a local to celebrate her while we were there! Every detail is taken care of at the Roost. We stay at a lot of VRBOs & this was one of our favorites!!

Fantastic Close to Everything Getaway

This stay was fantastic! The host(s) are friendly, communicative, and willing to help with your needs to make your trip the best as possible. We stayed at The Roost for my sister’s graduation, and loved it. We would absolutely come back again. It was so fun to feed to horses, and wake up in the mountains. All we brought was clothes and toiletries. We will be back—hopefully one day. :)

Perfect getaway

This property was so peaceful and just a wonderful experience all together. The host Edin was so pleasant and very responsive with communication. I stayed here with three teenagers and they enjoyed the upstairs rooms as their own private space. Took a day trip to Yellowstone and enjoyed the early winter snow that fell. Took the hosts recommendations for several food places and enjoyed them all. The MAP Brewing company was especially good and loved the relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay @ The Roost

We had a wonderful stay at the Roost. Check in process was very easy and the home was very clean. The home was as described and the views are amazing. We saw deer almost daily and the horses on the property were very friendly. We definitely hope to come back one day. The homeowners Melody & Edin were very kind and easy to reach via text message if needed. During our last night at the property, the wheat field across from the property was accidentally set on fire by the farmer. Over 100 acres were burned and I kept the owners notified of the situation. Fortunately, the fire department had it put out within a few hours. Melody & Edin went above and beyond during this experience which was no fault of their own and I can think of nothing negative to say about them or their property. HIGHLY recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed!

This property was absolutely perfect!! We loved the location as it was close to the airport, downtown Bozeman, grocery store, and other stores. Also, we visited Yellowstone twice during our trip and it was an easy drive in under two hours. We also drove to Butte in about an hour. What we loved about the location is that it is such a peaceful and quiet setting, yet you are actually very close to everything. Also, the views all around the house are beautiful! The house itself was also excellent. It was extremely clean and had a very cozy feel to it. It has everything you need as far as amenities. The property owners were also great and very responsive. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again! I highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Edin & Melody Wells-Minthorn

We purchased our property here in Bozeman, Montana in October 2012. We are originally from Iowa City, Iowa. We took this family photo in our yard! The mountains surround our property with such beauty.

Why they chose this property

When we first looked at this property it had been vacant for 15 years, everything outside and inside the homes and barn were from 1987 and everything was BLUE..... Blue carpet, blue exteriors, blue countertops, blue and pink flower wallpaper, it was a blue nightmare. My husband is a carpenter so we couldn't pass up these breathtaking Bridger Mountain views! We decided to buy it and then we spent the next two years gutting both homes out and doing a complete remodel. The end result is just fabulous!

What makes this property unique

One of the things we appreciate most about our ranch (other than the breathtaking mountain views) is the peaceful country feel, yet so close to town! Being only 6 miles from major shopping, activities and restaurants in Bozeman makes this the perfect spot!
