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.

We loved our stay in Susan’s beautiful and thoughtfully appointed home. Enjoyed walking and getting to know the neighborhood, took advantage of fun local shops and restaurants and appreciated all the helpful information from Susan regarding gorgeous Montana nature and attractions outside Bozeman. Looking forward to a return visit as soon as possible!

We adore historic homes and this one was exactly what we were looking for as we moved our last into college. We had a super comfortable stay and enjoyed all the beautiful and unique details maintained in this great property! We were able to walk to most places downtown and even north end of campus. Will try to stay here again!
