Elegant, Recipient of Historic Preservation Award! 2 Blocks From Downtown .

**The Black Dog Hideaway is a legally registered vacation rental with the City of Bozeman and the state of Montana. We have a private finished basement apartment with a separate entrance in which a family member resides for any questions you may have. Our house is located in the more desirable south side of Bozeman's Historic District and is just 2 blocks from all that Downtown Bozeman has to offer, shopping, restaurants, bars, and even occasional street fairs. Only 2 blocks from Cooper Park, our neighborhood park, walking distance to Montana State University, and located only 25 minutes from our community ski hill, Bridger Bowl. An hour and a half from Yellowstone National Park, and a few minutes in any direction from a wealth of hiking, biking, fishing and any other outdoor activity you can imagine.

Built in 1911, this historic Craftsman Bungalow style home is the recipient of the 2010 Historic Preservation Award, Black Dog Hideaway is your elegant and cozy home away from home. Come stay here and you will enjoy:
* custom design wood floors.
*original wood trim and built -ins from this historical home’s first days.
*a huge, upstairs master bedroom suite complete with a natural stone walk in shower, and a whirlpool, soaking tub, kick plate heaters under each sink to warm up the area if needed.
*gourmet kitchen with black granite counter tops and outfitted with everything you'll need including a dishwasher, double oven, and pot filler over the stove. Kick plate heaters are installed in the kitchen for extra heat if needed.
*A covered backyard deck, fenced private backyard with a beautiful green lawn, native front yard landscaping, and front porch with privacy shades and two front porch swings.
*We have a “50amp NEMA 14-50 Outlet for EV Charging in a garage. Door may be too narrow for some EV’s”
** Both bedroom 1 and master bedroom suite have Mitsubishi Mr. Slim heat pumps to give our guests air conditioning in the summer and extra heat in cooler months should they want it.
* If you need assistance, our son, Grant, has a private apartment with a separate entrance in the basement of our home.
*** Please keep in mind this home is over 100 years old and therefore you will have some creaky floor noises. It's one of the charming features of our home. We like to think it's our homes way of saying "Welcome" to our guests.

Beautiful Home
The Black Dog Hideaway is a beautiful, cozy house located close to downtown and the university. The house has everything you need with an incredibly stocked kitchen. It was the perfect place to stay for our 5-day trip to visit our son in Bozeman and ski at Bridger Bowl. We will definitely rent the Black Dog on our next visit!

A Gem in Bozeman!
This beautifully restored historic home is charming, cozy & comfortable. The owners have taken great care to provide for guests. Wonderful & well-equipped kitchen…back patio & yard is a welcoming retreat. A designated driveway for off street parking is a real plus. A minor mechanical matter discovered on arrival was promptly attended to by the owner. We would definitely enjoy the opportunity to again on future trips to Bozeman!!

Most comfy beds in 5 weeks of travel!! Well equipped kitchen. Clean, convenient to great walking neighborhoods, museums and downtown. A front porch swing was more morning coffee go- to. The lushly landscaped backyard was my evening cocktail place. Thank you for a great place to relax

We had a lovely stay at this property. It was easy to check in, and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed. We made a delicious Father’s Day dinner and enjoyed many relaxing mornings on the back porch. The location is convenient to many areas of Bozeman.

Historic Charm
We came for our annual sister's trip (3 of us) and it was perfect. We used it as a base for easy access to Yellowstone but also having the conveniences/restaurants of a city. My sister ended up needing to go to urgent care one day and I was really glad that it was only about a mile away. The house is nicely furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable back porch and cute garden. The keypad entry was easy, the house was super clean and centrally located with convenient parking. Sue was readily available via email and had many suggestions for dining (Blackbird is a must) and other activities. Be aware that stairs to second floor are steep and narrow, like in many old houses. Highly recommend! One of my best Vrbo experiences. I would come back again when in Bozeman.
