Bozeman is located in southwest Montana along 1-90. It is about 2 hours from Yellowstone National Park. There is a lot to see in the area. Bozeman has a vibrant historic downtown with lots of restaurants, bars, galleries, library, and the Museum of the Rockies. It is home to Montana State University.

 

Bozeman has a busy summer tourist season so lodging fills quickly. I recommend making travel plans early. I will send a class list with updates as time passes. This will allow you to contact others in your class to carpool or share accommodations. Students have often shared larger Airbnb/VRBO places.

 

Studio physical address: 6693 Lynx Lane #3, Bozeman, MT 59718 (please don’t send any mail to this address). The studio is located about 6 miles from the heart of historic downtown Bozeman in a light industrial area.

 

Flying: Bozeman/Big Sky Airport is very convenient and has good service from several major airlines.

 

Ground transportation: Bozeman has a rudimentary bus system, but I wouldn’t count on it. Uber still seems expensive and taxi prices are outrageous. That said, renting a car is a good bet. You will want to explore a bit anyway!

 

Accommodations: There are two hotels relatively close to the studio – see below for more information. There are a couple of nice hotels downtown (6 miles) and most of the typical chain hotels near the freeway exits (North 19th and North 7th). There are numerous Airbnb/VRBO rentals that are usually much less expensive than the hotels.

 

Some lodging tips:

​

Everhome Suites. Relatively close to the studio. Good for longer stay. 3.4 miles to my studio, convenient to downtown, across the street from grocery store, etc. Good reviews from students.

​

Home2 Suites at Four Corners. Convenient to studio (2.1 miles) but further from downtown.

​

The Element hotel. Newer, downtown. Several people coming for classes have stayed at the Element and gave it good reviews.

​

The Armory hotel. A fabulous new, higher end, downtown hotel.

​

Cozy Cottage on Cobb Hill (Airbnb). Last summer a whole class of 6 stayed here!

​

The Westside Nest Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/33094078. 3 bedroom townhouse near my studio.

​

Get After Some FUN Guest Apartment (Airbnb). A recent class attendee stayed here and loved it.

​

EZ Breezy Country Cottage; VRBO, but it can be booked directly through https://www.ezbreezycountrycottage.com/.  It is basically a ranch's guest house. They also have property directly on the Gallatin river if people want to fish or have a cook-out.

 

Campgrounds: the nearest and nicest is https://bozemancampground.com. It’s at a nearby hot springs with several pools.
