About this property

Ranch Casita. WOW! This place is so unique in Montana.

This Casita (guest house) is a brand new, fully insulated, well appointed grain bin with its adjoining cook/bath house combo is unlike any vacation guest rental in Bozeman.
Decorated with many pieces of authentic Mexican art and furnishings collected by the owners during their many years of winter travel throughout Mexico.
Welcoming guests inside, you will find a restful king size bed outfitted with premium, 100% cotton linens and cozy down comforter.
Relax in one of the two, comfortable leatherette swivel chairs with matching ottomans with a book or watch Netflix or Amazon on the 32 inch TV . The Mexican equipale chair also provides comfortable seating . The Mexican armoir accommodates guests clothing as well as house 2 throw blankets provided for extra warmth inside and out.
When necessary, the Casitia is warmed by thermostatically controlled electric baseboard heaters and cooled by the air conditioner.
Guests are thrilled by the beautiful views of the Spanish Peaks, Hyalite, and Bridger Mountians from both inside and out of the Casita.

The adjoining COOK/BATH HOUSE was an old tool shed long forgotten on the ranch. It was rescued and lovingly restored into a modern, eco-friendly facility.
Upon entering the space, guests will appreciate the full, modern kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, stainless steel sink, microwave, and a 2 burner electric stove top in a bank of modern cabinetry. Fully furnished with colorful Fiestaware dishes; pots, pans, a Keurig coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, blender, flatware, knives, table and kitchen linens, soaps, etc. are all provided for our guest's convenience..
Through the sliding barn door inside, guests will find the bath. It too has been beautifully decorated with an authentic Mexican Tlaquepaque pottery sink and back splash as well as a tile and metal mirror. Plush bath towels of premium 100% cotton , eco-friendly shampoo and bath gel, and body lotion are all provided.
Both the kitchen and bath are heated with electric, baseboard heaters.

Relax in the morning with a cup of coffee on the sail shaded deck listening to the sweet songs of birds greeting the day. If the mornings or evenings are a bit too cool, fleece blankets are provided to keep guests cozy.
Spend the day reading and relaxing or explore the many shops, art galleries, and innovative restaurants in historic downtown Bozeman. Or put on your adventure hat and hike or bike on the numerous trails (a very informative trail guide book is made available), that Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley has to offer. Or perhaps explore one or two of the many nearby parks, visit the renowned Museum of the Rockies, float the Madison River, or fish one of the many blue ribbon trout streams in the area all while enjoying the rich beauty of Montana!
After a day of adventure (or not), come back to the cozy Casita for an evening cocktail before heading out for a fabulous dinner downtown or stay put, grilling a steak on the barbecue while enjoying the flowing, native grasses, views, and an occasional deer wandering by.
Just like its sister guest cabin on the ranch, the 150 year old Bannack (VRBO # 325398), this guest house is just as cozy and very private. Our location can't be beat! We are just a 10 minute drive from both the airport and or Downtown Bozeman.
Come stay with us! You won't regret it!

A Mountain View at the Casita!

Highly recommend staying here. The Casita had everything we needed and then some. We got to enjoy our morning coffee with a mountain view. A slice of country but minutes from Bozeman area. We will be returning on our next Montana adventure!

Lovely private casita

We loved the Casita. Stayed a few days as we moved our daughter from CT to Bozeman. The casita is decorated with art from Mexico that Ron and Kate have collected over the years. The views are lovely. We spent time on the deck with coffee and inside when it got cold. Everything you need is there and the casita is close to everything in Bozeman: restaurants, grocers, sites but away from all of the hustle and bustle of all of the incredible development going on in Town.We spent a day in Yellowstone and Ron gave us hints on other places to enjoy the great outdoors. Our daughter will be in Bozeman for sometime so we hope to be back often.

Very peaceful

We are light sleepers so the location was perfect. We didn't have a chance to sit on the patio because we were visiting family and we would return late at night. We only had one issue and the owners took care of it immediately.

Country serenity close to the city.

Hosts were excellent, communicated in a timely matter & personally welcomed us when we checked in. They walked us through all the “ins & outs” of staying at their place. The casita was just as represented. Interior was spotless & they thought of everything; plus some nice little extra touches. Enjoyed coffee & patio on the deck that connects to e 2 buildings. The property itself (the ranch) is a work in progress, which didn’t bother us a bit. The casita is off in its own corner and was quiet and surrounded by tall grasses, trees, & a couple of burms. We listened to the birds, were visited by a friendly local cat, enjoyed the mountain views, & saw a doe with its fawn. It was a short 5 minute drive into Bozeman, so perfect for activities, exploring , & getting together with family who were staying at Days Inn & the Kimpton. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would stay again.

Unique and Wonderful

Kate and Ron are fantastic hosts and not only made our stay at La Casita warm and fun and such a unique way to see Montana, but really engaged with us personally and were wonderful resources of information for the area, things to see that we hadn't known about, etc. This is so much cooler than staying in a hotel- no corporate parking lots, all mountains! It's such a cool set up with the two bungalows, sleeping and then eating and bathroom. My location manager and I had such a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!

Perfect Location

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Casita. The property was comfortable, fun and unique and included everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the private deck and the visits from the deer and rabbit. The location is perfect. We were able to access Yellowstone within an hour and twenty minutes and there is so much to do in an around Bozeman. Kate and Ron were the best hosts from providing information before we arrived to regaling us with stories when we showed up. Their knowledge of the area was incredible and they had the perfect balance of being available but not intrusive. We hope to be back.

My husband and I loved staying at the casita! It was so darn cute and unique! The king bed was super comfortable after some long hikes in the area. Ron and Kate were so nice and accommodating with any questions we had . We also enjoyed the resident deer on the property. Would definately reccomend this hidden gem in Bozeman!

The owners have paid great attention to detail in putting this facility together and go out of their way to insure that you are comfortable. This is a perfect location for us. We were a little taken back by the surrounding property looking like a messy construction site.

Unique, Peaceful, and Near Perfection

My husband and I honeymooned here, and absolutely LOVED IT! It is just minutes away from Bozeman, but out in the country away from it all. The yurt is tucked away with stunning hillside and wildlife views. Our refrigerator broke mid-stay, and our wonderful hosts replaced it the next day. The yurt is cozy, though a bit warm during the middle of the day, and quite romantic. We had a few problems with some tricky spiders, but overall, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to everyone. Thank you Ron and Kate!

Unique and perfect stay

This casita in Bozeman is perfect! What a unique and fun place to stay. The casita has everything you could need - AC in the yurt, a very comfortable king sized bed, a TV on the wall, and the most fun art. You step outside on the deck and take a few steps to the kitchenette and bathroom. The kitchen has everything you need to fully cook and there is a grill outside. The shower in the bathroom has a great hot water system. Our stay for the week was so comfortable. We loved sitting outside on the deck every night, playing music, cooking and playing cards. You will also be so close to town (under a 10 minute drive) and close to so many hikes. Kate and Ron are amazing hosts. They responded immediately whenever we texted and needed something. Don't be nervous for the few amount of reviews on VRBO - the casita is newly renovated and not many have stayed there yet - but I am VERY picky with where I stay and this is one of the best places I've chosen. We can't wait to come back again!
