Fondly referred to as the gem of Big Sky country, Bozeman’s mountainous location offers an abundance of year-round recreation.
In the winter, skiers and snowboarders flock to Bridger Bowl Ski Area and Big Sky Resort and climbable ice accumulates in Hyalite Canyon. Spring sees high rivers for white water rafting on the Gallatin while summer visitors enjoy hiking, backpacking, fly fishing on blue-ribbon rivers, and visiting nearby Yellowstone National Park.
But it’s not just the area’s outdoor recreation that makes Bozeman a coveted destination. The downtown area draws visitors with its restaurants, museums, and breweries, while events like the MSU Pow Wow, Sweet Pea Festival, and weekly Music on Main concerts attract state residents and tourists alike.
Whether you’re visiting to play outside or to experience everything else Bozeman has to offer, this list of airbnbs in Bozeman should cover you. Bozeman offers luxurious mountain escapes, downtown airbnbs, and even a treehouse available for your vacation pleasure. Any of the airbnbs in Bozeman below will provide the perfect home base for exploring the area.
