About this property

Historic Gem, Two Blocks from Main Street, 30 day+ stays and pet friendly

Barbara's Place Is a Century Old Historic Treasure located just a few strides off Bozeman Avenue and two blocks From Main Street. The best of two centuries, Barbara's Place will provide you with a stay as unique as Bozeman is itself. We are taking reservations for 30-day or longer stays; send an inquiry if you have questions.

Listed On the National Historic Register, this home was built by the widow of a local brewer and has been lovingly cared for by her family ever since. The home's interior combines fine wood finishes, turn of the century (1907) craftsmanship, tasteful antiques and most modern-day comforts. Recline in the down-filled sofa and chairs while you plan your next adventure. Snuggle under the blankets and comforter in luxury sheets to get your adequate rest. Never mind the daylight with black-out curtains in the bedrooms. Wake up rejuvenated and ready to enjoy all Bozeman has to offer. You are a heartbeat away from the vibrancy of downtown.

We love our four-legged friends. Bozeman is a dog friendly town as is our home. All pets require pre-approval and an additional fee. Across the street from City Hall, we request good behavior and following the leash-law in-town.

Parking is on-street either in front of or behind the home.

Day or Night, Life Is Downtown and it's all just a few blocks away. By Day, Stroll Along Our Main Street and Be Greeted By a Host of Friendly Shop Keepers. Stop For an Espresso At One of the Cafes. Pamper yourself at the Loft Spa. Catch Up On Local History At the Nearby Public Library, a Historic Tour, or Visit the Pioneer Museum. Board a Streamline Bus and visit Montana State University or Launch a Dinosaur Adventure at the Renowned Museum of the Rockies. By Night, Take in Live Music, Theatre, Ballet, or Opera. Step Onto the Dance Floor Yourself. It's Almost Certain That Your Favorite Music Is Being Performed Live Somewhere Along Main Street or a few blocks away at the Elm. Let Our Restaurants Entice You with Everything from Sushi to Montana Beef and Buffalo Steaks. Savor a Glass of Wine and Chat with the Locals at the Wine Bar. It's All Downtown and Just Around the Corner from Barbara's Place.

Off Main Street Adventures Await the Outdoor Enthusiast. In the Winter, Ice Skating Is a Couple Blocks Away outside at Beall Park or up the road at the Fairgrounds, Sledding Hills and Cross Country Ski Trails Are Only a Little Further at Lindley Park or Peets Hill. Just Down the Street You Can Catch the bus to Bridger Bowl, Choice of the Locals for Downhill Skiing. Bridger Bowl is a 16-mile drive. A One Hour Drive Will Get You to Big Sky Ski Resort, and Just a Little Beyond, You Will Find the Gates of Yellowstone National Park.

Step Out the Door of Barbara's Place. Good Times Await!

Downtown Bozeman Summer Stay

The home was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the host went out of her way to provide whatever you needed. We enjoyed being able to walk downtown.

Amazing house and location

Had an excellent stay here when moving back to Bozeman prior to moving into our house. Whitney was so sweet and welcoming on arrival and was thoughtful to put books and toys in the house for our daughter to play with. Loved the location. Would stay here again.

Perfect location and hosts

Whitney and Shane's place was the absolute perfect place to spend a month. They are gracious and helpful hosts ,and were always easy to get a hold of if I needed anything. The house is darling and comfortable and has the best-stocked kitchen of any rental I've stayed in. And it's the absolute best location in town - set back a couple of blocks from Main St so it's incredibly quiet, but you can walk to everything in minutes. I'm a Bozeman local, so you can take my word for it!

Super convenient and homey

Great, seamless stay. Everything was made incredibly easy by the hosts, who also were very accommodating to any scheduling changes. The home itself is old but quaint, a much preferred alternative to the host of modern condos/apt buildings going up in downtown Bozeman. Would gladly stay here again!

GREAT location and comfortable Home!

Wow, thank you Whitney for the many thoughtful and generous touches! Location could not have been better, as we love Main St. and all it offers, including huge Lindley Park and infinite miles of walking/ bike trails right from house. Home was very comfortable, as was queen bed in master. Will definitely stay here on next Bozeman visit.

Fantastic Bozeman Vacation Rental!

We could not have been more pleased with staying at Barbara's Place in Bozeman! The location is amazing, just two blocks to Main Street, yet in a quiet and historic neighborhood. We loved the home, so cozy, warm and plenty of space to spread out. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts. You were so quick to respond to any questions and made us feel so welcomed. We would love to return to Barbara's Place sometime soon!

Winter fun

Perfect place for us to stay. Plenty of room for the 3 of us including our dog. The home is very well furnished and we really enjoyed staying here. We skied 3 times @ Bridger Bowl and cross country skied the beautiful trails outside of Bozeman the other days. Such a nice home to come back to after exploring this great area. Had a lot of fun with our daughter who is a MSU freshman.

Great experience

My wife and I stayed at Barbara’s Place and had a lovely time. The house has all the comforts of home. The location is very convenient to downtown Bozeman, with all parts of downtown just a short walk away. Whitney, the owner of Barbara’s place was a joy to deal with. You can tell Whitney takes loving care of the house and has thought about what it takes to have her guests have a most enjoyable stay.

Downtown Charmer

We loved our week and a half stay at Barbara’s Place! The home is well stocked (especially the kitchen) with essentials needed for a comfortable, longer-term stay. While there are some quirks, as with any old home, the location cannot be beat! On top of that, Whitney was so attentive and helpful with our stay. They were also so welcoming and accommodating of our dog. We definitely recommend it for a couple or small family!

Best Vrbo stay I have ever had!

First of all, Whitney is amazing! She thinks of everything and goes above and beyond to do whatever she can to make your stay the best. The location is fantastic and right in the downtown area. I have stayed at many vrbos in Bozeman and this one is by far the best. I cannot say enough about this property. This is our 2nd year in a row staying at Barbara’s Place and we can’t wait to return. Such amazing memories! Thank you so much.

Lovely, cozy, and excellent location

This home was really home away from home! Barbara's Place is absolutely immaculate. It is located only blocks from Main Street and has many restaurants, bars, and shops only a few moments walk away. The parking is on the street and we were able to park in front of the home every evening. My 85 year old Mother, my husband and I stayed for four nights in May for MSU graduation. Whitney was easy to reach by text and email, and she was extremely helpful and very sweet!

Donna was amazing to work with, she could not have made it easier. If you are looking to have the full Bozeman experience - this is your place! The historic charm of the house is so inviting you feel as though you are home after your adventures around town. Perfect location, within walking distance to everything in town. Donna had all fresh linens, towels, a bowl of things you may have forgotten, even fresh fruit upon arrival. Just a great place to stay. Will be back. Thanks so much Donna!

About the host

Hosted by Shane & Whitney Lutey

Host profile image
MY GREAT-GREAT GRANDMOTHER, BARBARA, WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS HOME. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OWNED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN FAMILY THROUGHOUT THE DECADES. IT IS NOW OUR TURN TO CARE FOR THIS HOME AND WE ARE PLEASED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. BLESSED TO LIVE IN THIS 'LAST BEST PLACE' BOZEMAN, MT MOST OF OUR LIVES, WE ARE AS LOCAL AS YOU CAN GET!

Why they chose this property

Barbara's Place is a cozy cottage, a place to relax and use as your hub for a Montana adventure. You don't need to drive - everything is downtown. A stone's throw from great restaurants; a short walk to ice cream, the grocer, a barista, the baker, the deli. We hope you love it!

What makes this property unique

Take a step back into OLD BOZEMAN. The property is nostalgic; remembering the stories of my mother and her grandfather, spending time together sitting on the front porch watching a spider spin its web. Or receiving the mail from the hands of the mail carrier, waiving to the neighbors as they walk by. Listening to the birds; the Downey woodpecker looking for its next meal in the old apple tree or the Chickadees nesting nearby.
