Just a little spring dump in Montana! This is Hyalite Canyon Road which is closed every year from April 15-May 31, such a great place to bike and walk. The snow is melting fast and the flowers are poking right up through!

Spring and Summer availability is going fast, I'm offering 5% off to all returning guests just for mentioning this post:)

www.BozemanCottage.com is always the best place to book to avoid fees.

The snowstorm that exceeded expectations - no need to go to the gym today! That's an honest 2 feet in town and a great followup to a beautiful stretch of spring break sun basking. I love Montana weather:) What a great ski season!

It's already winter in Bozeman and we're having the best start to a ski season that we've seen in nearly 10 years! Big Sky is open and Bridger Bowl opens this Friday, Dec 10.

The other news is that Bozeman is less busy than it has been since pre-pandemic times so last minute trips are easily booked and low season rates are in effect. We even still have some availability left for the holidays. After 2 1/2 years of going full bore this is a welcome shift for all!

Check our master calendar here: https://www.lodgix.com/8821/
where all houses' calendars are shown on the same page for easy planning. The picnic table photo is from today at Dahlia House.

Cheers!

Airbnb and VRBO Travelers Read This:

Many Airbnb & VRBO hosts have a generally poor experience when using those platforms (difficult to use communicate with travelers, poor support when there are issues with guests, etc).
Did you know that Airbnb now adds 16% to the nightly rate? This is roughly what I charge to manage the entire house throughout the year and gives the traveler no benefit. Once a traveler books a house using Airbnb or VRBO the service fee is non-refundable, even if the reservation is canceled.

A quick google search can often yield lower cost booking options by letting you avoid Airbnb and VRBO service fees - just type in the name of the house and add the town or area where it is and see if the owner or manager has their own booking platform. It's much easier for hosts to use their own system communicate and help you with your reservation should you wish to change dates, switch houses, etc.

Airbnb and VRBO are great ways to find homes, and a quick search can sometimes lead you to an even better experience!

If you are in Bozeman this weekend and up for something totally different, check out this show at the Fairgrounds:
https://cirquemaceo.com/

It's part equestrian arts, part fire dancing, areal arts, magic, and a clown. Highly recommended! The performers are staying at a Bozeman Cottage house and that's how I found out about it, so glad to have the experience.

a revolutionary theatrical phenomenon like no other… an emotionally charging, up close and personal, luxurious experience. Step into our exclusive, custom designed Italian Big Top theater and settle back in our brand-new, state of the art seats. The world of Ma’Ceo is proud to showcase an almost...

Amazing what 100 inches of snow in just 3 weeks at Bridger Bowl can do for the surface of the earth! Zoom in on the steep areas in the 2nd photo and notice the vertical fluting that forms.

It's all been turned into base with the chinook winds but the cycle starts over tomorrow:) Weekday tickets are easily obtainable and it's so nice to ski with a 3500 person max capacity.

Much of Bozeman Cottage maintenance and delivery is done by ebike, amassing huge time and energy savings. Now UPS is testing fancy e-trikes in Seattle and Ft Lauderdale! Exciting to see an uptick in alternative thinking, though as history has it, bike delivery is how UPS got its start.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJuSq-X6Gjg&feature=youtu.be More than a century ago, the company now known as UPS started as a simple courier service in Seattle. A handful of messengers would…

I am proud of the Copeland family and Onsite Energy for completing a large 8.3KW solar array at the Lucky Dog Lodge! This will capture and supply a huge amount of the energy used and guests will get to experience the seamless nature of solar energy. With the future of net metering under attack by Northwestern Energy, get your system installed soon.

Bozeman Bike Rentals set a record in July with 17 bikes out at one time! Having my own liability coverage now allows me to rent the bikes directly and is proving to be easier.

The 2nd photo is of our beautiful and very, very! green and extra flowery Gallatin Valley as seen from the west side of the Bridger Mtns.
