Ollie's House: Cozy Home, A Walk Away from Downtown/MSU

Built in 1935, this remodeled Craftsman style home offers the best of Bozeman!

Ollie's House is an inviting and sunlit historic home ideally located four blocks from Main street and two blocks from Cooper Park. Cooper Park is a full city block park that is dog friendly with beautiful spruce trees and picnic tables. The MSU campus is a 15-18 minute walk from the house.

When you enter the front door, the high ceilings, the sunny large windows and wood floors all lend to creating a warm space that is full of comfort and love. You are greeted by "Hank", a large and fun paper mache sheep created by a local artist. The wood stove and interesting and colorful artwork makes Ollie's House an inviting home to relax in.

On the main floor is the kitchen, living room, dining area, a full bathroom with tub/shower, an office area and tv/library room. The dining room table can expand to accommodate 8 people for a larger family gathering. The living room has comfortable seating and sitting chairs for relaxing and visiting or playing games. Adjacent to the living room is the library and tv room with a large sectional couch, for reading or watching a movie.

The kitchen has ash countertops and all the amenities/appliances you need. Ollie's House is fully equipped with a drip style and French press coffee maker, a coffee grinder, pots/pans, cooking utensils, spices, dry goods (flour, sugar, etc) dishwasher, microwave, a blender, an ice maker, linens and basic body products/ neccesities. We also provide local info and guide books on everything from where to buy locally grown vegetables to great hiking trails and restaurant suggestions.

All three bedrooms are upstairs from the main floor. The primary bedroom has a queen size bed with closet space, a floor / ceiling fan, an AC unit and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second upstairs bedroom has a king size bed, with ample closet storage, a floor / ceiling fan and AC unit. The third bedroom is smaller with a full size bed, perfect for kids or a solo guest (or a couple if they don't mind the full size). This room has a floor / ceiling fan. The second full bathroom with tub/shower can accommodate the guests staying in the second and third bedrooms. Keep in mind that on the main floor there is also a full bathroom with tub/shower. A pack-n-play is available for your use as well.

Upon request, there is also an additional bedroom with a queen size bed and full bathroom in the basement of the house. Typically the host keeps the basement closed off unless there is a request or need for the additional room. There is an extra fee if the room is needed. (Please inquire with the host if you are interested in the basement room.)

There is a small private fenced-in backyard garden with a patio that is equipped with chairs, a picnic table with umbrella and a barbecue grill. This outdoor space is festive with outdoor lighting and surrounded by flowers and aspen trees. The front yard and entrance offers a covered front porch with two outdoor chairs which offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee or a good book.

Ollie's House is your perfect base for exploring Bozeman’s vibrant downtown and surrounding natural beauty.

A gem right next to downtown Bozeman

We all have nothing but great things to say about our stay at Kerry's beautiful home. We were visiting our son at MSU and the location is perfect. The house is so well stocked with everything you need to cook a meal, plenty of nice towels, comfortable beds, nice bedding, nicely decorated and super charming. Plenty of bathrooms. Kerry made the whole process so easy and is a great resource on information regarding Bozeman. We will definitely rent again if is is available!
