The Garden Cottage is a wonderful free-standing one-room suite with no noises from the room next door because there is no room next door. Settle into this historic neighborhood and you'll be just 3 blocks from downtown Bozeman and 2 blocks from the up and coming Northeast urban district with Bozeman's best bakery.
Garden Cottage is managed by Bozeman Cottage Vacation Rentals, a small homegrown Bozeman company with over 20 years of experience. For more reviews and information, including a self-guided 3D walkthrough, search the name of the house plus the words Bozeman Cottage.
This converted Model-A barn is located in the backyard with private yard, alley entrance, and alley parking spot. It has been fully remodeled to include vaulted ceilings with skylights, a full kitchen, gas fireplace and clawfoot bathtub.
The kitchen, living area, and bedroom are in one space and high ceilings with skylight and a big, happy plant overseeing the spacious room. There is a small, traditional bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower, and a closet for storage. There is a loft where our big plant lives and some extra supplies, it's not a sleeping loft.
A cast iron gas fireplace easily heats the well-insulated studio. There is a small tv with digital antennae and a dvd player, and of course full-fledged internet service.
The entrance has a large deck with sitting table and a bbq grill facing the wild yard maintained by the owners. From the entrance gate in the alley, the foot path meanders under a huge shade tree, past the flower gardens, and to a world record size rhubarb plant welcoming you to the door!
One of the best things about the Garden Cottage is how close it is to downtown and the desirable, historic parts of Bozeman. It's easy to leave the car parked and get to much of what Bozeman has to offer, and we also deliver rental bikes to your door as an additional option at roughly half the price of other bike rental options.
As with all Bozeman Cottage houses, the Garden Cottage is equipped with a drip style coffee maker, coffee grinder, a starter pack of fresh, local coffee, linens, pots/pans, cooking utensils, spices, dry goods (flour, sugar, etc), and EO brand non-toxic bath products. We also provide extensive local info on everything from where to buy real Montana meat & locally grown vegetables to great hiking trails, rafting links to restaurant coupons. We believe in local economies and know the best places!

I am glad to hear that the place was peaceful and fit your needs!

The cottage was exactly as described! I loved the cozy gas fireplace and the recliner was so cozy and comfortable. I enjoyed sipping the provided fresh local coffee outside in the garden/deck area. I hope to return on future visits to Bozeman!
I absolutely loved my stay at Paul's cottage. Great location, super cute, cozy, and private. Paul was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and he took time to share some of his favorite spots. I look forward to my next visit.
I'm glad I had the occasion to meet you in person, and look forward to your next visit which is already on the calendar! Paul
Absolutely lovely home, perfect distance to downtown. Access to many restaurants and cute shops. The garden is so peaceful and the bed is comfy. I highly suggest staying here if you visit.
Cedar Rose - Thank you for posting your lovely review and for being a wonderful guest! Paul - Owner, Bozeman Cottage Vacation Rentals since 1998
Perfect place for 1 to relax and explore downtown Bozeman
Thank you for posting your review and for taking such good care of the Garden Cottage. We are so pleased to hear it was the perfect place for you and hope to see you next time you are in Bozeman! Paul, Owner - Bozeman Cottage Vacation Rentals, since 1998
Is a great place is really beautiful
Ricardo, Thank you for posting your wonderful review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay!
Paul, Owner - Bozeman Cottage Vacation Rentals, since 1998
The cottage was great! Extremely walkable to downtown Bozeman with restaurants and shops. In the other direction, Bozeman’s best bakery, deli and other businesses within three blocks. However, the hidden location off the streets makes the cottage quiet and private. There is a yard of beautiful flowers with a small deck to sit on and enjoy an evening drink or a morning coffee.
Clean inside. Closet with needed items: ironing board, more towels, extra blanket, additional fan, etc. EO brand soaps and hand sanitizer were lovely.
The design of the place is excellent. Skylights are a fabulous touch. The television is small and hard to see from its positioning, although I didn’t really mind as it was not used much. Big fridge in an easy kitchen.
Quick responsive host. Recommend!
Nina, What a wonderful, thorough review - thank you! We enjoyed hosting your stay and would welcome you back anytime.

This was a cute, out of the way, secluded place to stay yet walkable to downtown, coffee shops, restaurants etc. It was cute inside and had everything we needed. We would stay here again!!!
We appreciate your wonderful review and are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at the Garden Cottage as well as the neighborhood. See you next time!!
Paul - Owner, Bozeman Cottage Vacation Rentals since 1998
Great place in great location and like being in country but Paul needs more detailed directions as really hard to find especially at night. Do not try getting to it from North Wallace find the lane between E Davis and E Fridley. I am sure Paul had updated the directions
I'm glad it all worked out in the end. You are correct that the cottage cannot be found from the street side or by using a map app, which is why my directions start with the need to follow my directions to the alley parking spot as the cottage is only accessed from the alley. The turn by turn directions are solid but they have to be read in order to work. I have updated them with more ALL CAPS notices at the beginning in hopes to catch more peoples' attention.
I am glad that I was able to take your call and guide you in by phone, and from that point on everything was great for you.
Place was in a great location for what we needed, clean/warm, and cozy.
Robert,
Really nice to hear the Garden Cottage was cozy and that you enjoyed the wonderful location. We enjoy having great guests and hope to have you stay with us at one of our many properties again!

Cottage was lovely and provided everything we needed (thx for the delicious coffee!). Location was convenient to downtown Bozeman and we did take advantage of that!
Paul was a fine host and he communicated very well. All in all, we had a good trip.
The place was great, the construction next door left very deep muddy holes is the alley which made it hard to get to the cottage and was a little noisy. Location was great and the cottage was a great size for one or two people. Had the best trip here!
Wonderful location, right near Main Street, and had lots of recommendations for activities and sights to see.
Thank you for a beautiful and very cozy space to relax and unwind in. Perfect for reading and drinking tea by the stove while flurries drifted outside. I appreciated the offer to move me to a bigger rental as a chilled squirrel had moved into the walls or attic the day before my arrival. I decided for the cottage nonetheless as the coziness spoke to me. I decided I could share the (wall) space 🙂 The little intruder was promptly and respectfully checked on, and I received a gift certificate to the best bakery a block away for my troubles.
I am grateful for all the care and consideration. I hope to be back in the summer to enjoy the gardens.
We never checked in to Paul’s cottage. I rated Paul’s place with a neutral “3” just so I could step through to this point in the review process and write a note. Our flights were cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. A storm dropped 80 inches of snow in Buffalo, NY, and all road travel was banned, the airport was closed and a state of emergency was declared. Our reservation was “not refundable”, but Paul did return the cleaning fee.
Cozy comfy conveniently located spot for 2 + dog!
Great location. Very quiet and cozy.
Was perfect for my wife and I. Short walk to downtown. Surprisingly quiet.
Great place for an introduction to Bozeman, I almost tried to talk Paul into renting it to me long term.
The Garden cottage is such a sweet spot, hidden away in a quiet neighborhood. It is close to town but you wouldn’t know it. I highly recommend this space for a peaceful stay.
Perfect little spot! Would love to stay again in the future. Highly recommended.
This was better than I expected. Not only was the cottage charming and comfortable, but the location was the best! Paul and Antoinette were very helpful, responded nearly immediately throughout the process, and made sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely stay here again!
The location was PERFECT. Just a short walk into town. The outdoor sitting area was private, yet we were able to hear the music from the Sweet Pea Festival. We loved the variety of flowers in the yard. Check-in and Check-out could not have been easier. The whole experience was enjoyable.
Thanks for everything, see you again soon!!
The place was very clean and nice. It was walking distance to Main Street so we did next to no driving. Would recommend to a friend.
A Hidden Gem, in the Heart of Bozeman! I loved my stay at this cozy cottage. It is the ideal the place for a solo traveler who wants to be in walking distance to all of the shops, restaurants, the farmers market and more. You also have a lovely deck and spacious garden to relax in and it is so quiet. I slept like a baby in the very comfortable bed and loved the morning light through the skylight! Paul was a top notch host. I can’t wait to return to Bozeman and this cottage!
awesome cabin! clean and everything you need for a couple nights or even longer! it was a nice stay! great location walking distance from downtown Bozeman!
The cottage was a great place for us to relax for the week leading up to our wedding. Great location, great host!
I would highly recommend this airbnb! The space itself is charming. The location is ideal -- just a few blocks from downtown. There is also a nearby park with amazing views of Bozeman and beyond, perfect for a run or dog walk. Would definitely stay again!
Paul’s Garden Cottage is adorable! I had an amazing and quaint stay. Walking to town was great and highly recommend leaving your car parked. Bozeman is an awesome town!
Great spot and a great host! Spend 10 days in this little cottage and it was fantastic. Had everything I needed to be comfortable for an extended stay and was walking distance to Main Street, Wild Crumb Bakery, and Mountains Walking Brewery, I would absolutely stay here again. Also, loved how quiet it was. It was off the main street so pretty peaceful spot to be.
Loved our stay at the cottage nestled in a quiet, aesthetic, historical neighborhood in Bozeman. The cottage was cozy, comfortable, clean and has a wonderful history all its own. Downtown Main St. is a short walk from the cottage, as well as other cafes, breweries, a bakery, pottery gallery and tons more in the Cannery district. Loved exploring the neighborhood and finding the Main St. to Mountains trails with my dog. Highly recommend the place and Paul was a great host!
Great place for a cottage experience! Quiet neighborhood, easy walk to the main street of Bozeman. Paul is a great host, quick to reply to requests and questions. Loved the stay and will recommend it to anyone heading that way!
This is the cutest cottage ever, *right in downtown Bozeman*. I couldn’t possibly recommend it more. It has everything you could possibly need or want, Big Sky is an hour away, Bridger Bowl is 25ish minutes away, and you could walk everywhere cool in Downtown Bozeman. One caveat: FOLLOW PAUL’S INSTRUCTIONS TO GET TO THE COTTAGE. They are detailed and you will not find where you need to park without them.
Great cozy place! Loved all the windows and big plant in the loft to make it feel homey. The electric fireplace kept the place very warm and the bed was really comfortable. Private tucked away parking in the alley and a 5-10 min walk to Main Street for tons of food/drink options. Perfect little kitchen to cook breakfast and some dinners in too.
The cottage was gorgeous! A very clean and cozy place to stay, with a fabulous location close to downtown.
We loved the location. We could come back from a day of skiing and relax then walk to main street and get food. Paul was great on communication and responded promptly whenever we needed anything. The bed was comfortable and the hot water was great! I few hours into our journey home I realized that I forgot my laptop charger and I called Paul and he took care of it. He mailed it on the same day and was very kind. When we return to Montana, we’re going to stay here again. Thanks Paul!
Great spot!
My daughter and sister in law had a great stay and the host took good care of them.
This place is magic! A little sanctuary with a dreamy vibe. Highly recommend.
This place is great! Really a special spot. Paul is responsive and kind. A+
Loved our stay at Paul’s. The cottage is magical. The sky lights were our favorite feature of the cottage. Plus the location is hard to beat. It is a very short walk to Main St. Our dog loved playing in the yard. Highly recommend if you want a cozy place close to all the cool spots in town.
Close to town. Sweet surroundings. Well equipped kitchen.
Nice gardens, cozy interior!
Beautiful property, secluded and quaint. Loved the outdoor garden picnic table. Bed was comfortable and everything was as described. Would definitely stay here again.
I loved my stay in the cottage. The garden was in full bloom and I felt like I was in the middle of no where yet it was a short walk to Main Street. The cottage itself was super cute and I loved the skylights and plants! They added a special touch. I would definitely go back. This would be a great place for even a writing retreat. Paul was helpful with tons of tips and fully stocked the cottage with great products!
I loved my stay in the garden cottage In Bozeman. It is a cozy and warm space with plenty of charm. The location couldn’t be better - short walk to Main Street and plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops but still feels quiet and secluded. Paul was a great host - very clear and communicative and provided helpful recs for hikes and other things to do in the area. I hope to come back soon!
Cute and cozy little space with so much charm, I felt right at home. The location being so close to downtown was perfect and Paul’s tips were extremely helpful. I hope to book the cottage again when I visit Bozeman in the future!
The Garden Cottage is a delight to stay in! Right from the get-go, the walk from the parking space through the lush (it's Summer after all!), informal garden is enchanting. The space inside is full of charm and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. It was perfect!
Such a great find. Excellent location, clean, and comfortable. Also a great value.
Wonderful relaxing space, fantastic location!
Lovely place. Great location. Paul was easily reachable and very kind. Non-refundable was a bit of a bummer, but I completely understand given the circumstances of 2021. I would recommend this property and Paul to those who want to see the best of the Big Sky.
Great spot, great location, great host! I loved my 6 night stay there! Would love to have the chance to go back!
Really cool space. Love the fireplace and the plants inside. I would definitely stay here again.
Paul’s place was great! My friend and I stayed here for a weekend of skiing and it worked well for us. Also just a short walk from Mountains Walking, which is my favorite Bozeman brewery of the ones I’ve tried
Paul’s place was so cozy and cute. The bed was super comfortable. The location was great, walking distance to downtown. It was also very quiet except for the occasional train which I quite liked. I would definitely stay here again!
The garden cottage is a dreamy and cozy little place to stay in Bozeman and would highly recommend it to anyone! It is in a perfect location, private, and has just about everything you need! Would definitely come back!!! 🙂
This was a great find.
Excellent spot in Bozeman, quiet neighborhood, comfortable spot.
The room was cozy and well kept with a very comfortable bed. Such a breeze to walk around the city (I didn't have a car & was here for a work conference downtown.)
The only struggle I had was to find it initially as my Lyft driver dropped me off on the street in utter darkness and my cell phone had no service. When I found the alley and entry, it was lit up with solar path lights and LEDs around the doorway to clearly indicate the charming place I would be residing for the week!
Would definitely stay here again upon my next Bozeman visit!
Another glorious stay...we love the few block walk to Bozeman's downtown. Thank You!
Best Regards, Bob
Garden Cottage is a great cabin, solid yet airy with a high roof - a really beautiful design - set in a wild and pretty garden in a calm residential area. We met Paul, and the two owners, and they were all extremely friendly and charming. We would definitely stay in Garden Cottage again. We were there for a week for a working holiday and didn’t rent a car so we walked miles. Main Street has some good stores in particular the Country Book Store and the Co-op near the Gallatin History Museum. The Museum of the Rockies has the best ever dinosaur exhibition - worth the trip to Bozeman alone - and the Gallatin History Museum really places the town in the history of the West, and of Yellowstone. At a loose end a couple of evenings we went to the Ellen Theatre where they were showing a season of classic western films, and the musical Oklahoma! We watched Destry Rides Again - thrilling to see James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich on a big screen. We went to see Oklahoma! with an open mind (not big fans of musicals) but it was absolutely fantastic. The local farmer who played Curly (apparently his debut) is a total star. He has the most amazing voice! We have spent our subsequent holiday in Yellowstone National Park singing songs from the show to keep the grizzlies at bay - so far with great success
The bed was truly very very comfortable, maybe even better than my own bed. Will def be back....if not moving back soon...
We had a great time in Bozeman and your Garden Cottage was the perfect place to stay. I hope to make it up there again.
I simply loved this charming cottage! The first step inside gave me the feeling of warm hospitality. A very comfortable bed awaited me. The bedding was soft and cozy with ample pillows, blankets and comforter. A small rocker gracefully placed by the fireplace, was soothing. The kitchen boasted cookware, dishes and utensils far beyond my expectations! Windows in every direction never allowed this cottage to feel small. A great plus was having two doors to access, a yard, porch and parking
space at the gate. The Skylights that streamed in the daily weather report, and a train heard occasionally moving through Bozeman made me feel I was living in my own Montana home! Location is superb for
anyone who wants to be able to walk a few blocks to Bozeman's Historic Downtown District. This rental is a gem in terms of inner beauty and charm coupled with neighborhood ambience and location. Most of
all, your hospitality and assistance during my stay was incredible. Lots of personal touches.
Thank you so much!
Hi Paul, Well, we just had the greatest time in and around Bozeman fishing, hiking, hanging out. And the cottage was the perfect place for us, truly our home away from home. We did borrow a few raspberries for breakfast!.....the stay in the cottage was the highlight of our trip...quiet, quaint, very comfortable. Thanks very much for everything! We'll definitely recommend the cottage to anyone headed in your direction.
There are 3 words that we feel describe this cottage perfectly. Quaint, cozy and convenient. We felt like we were tucked away far from town yet we were just a short walk to downtown Bozeman. For us this was a great place to stay to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. A very cozy and romantic cottage.
Just want to say thanks for everything. The cottage was great, and Paul the owner and David next door were exceptionally nice.
