"OUR FARM HOUSE"

Historic Vacation Home
Bozeman, Montana
 

    

Genuine Country Ambiance     

Relax in the perfect vacation rental--our family's historic farmhouse, peacefully set on 11 acres in the beautiful Gallatin Valley.  Just six miles SW of Bozeman, home of Montana State University and Museum of the Rockies, Our Farm House vacation home rests in a magnificent rural setting with room to roam, surrounded by rolling, undeveloped farm land and boasting a panoramic view of the surrounding Rocky Mountains.  The home is located in the heart of  blue ribbon trout fishing, kayaking and float trips in the Gallatin, Madison and Yellowstone Rivers as well as easy access to Big Sky, Moonlight Basin and Bridger Ski Resorts.  Breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains are visible from every window in the house, both upstairs and down.

Our Farm House is a completely furnished turn-of-the-century country home with many amenities plus rural charm.  Family heirlooms grace each room.

GUEST COMMENTS

“We came from Dallas to escape the summer heat, and we loved our Montana exploration.  The weather was fabulous, particularly the cool nights.  We enjoyed Yellowstone, the rivers and the Museum of the Rockies (three times!).  More than anything, we appreciated and savored the amazing views from Our Farm House windows—rapidly changing skies that were always gorgeous.  The highlight for the kids was the farm itself—picking peas, feeding the horses and geese, and most importantly for our son, being “in charge” of the chickens.  Fantastic hosts, great memories, wonderful and charming farmhouse—we hope to come back.”   

"It has been an honor staying in the home previously occupied by your family.  Our visit to attend a niece’s wedding in Bozeman turned out to be much more relaxing and fun—in large measure due to the warm, comfortable “home base” from which we operated.  You made us feel as if we were staying in the home of longtime friends.  Thank you!  Thank you for all of the very special home-like touches—from the groceries to the band-aids!  We hope to return for a longer visit next time."

"We are Americans living in Burgundy , France.  Due to the constant hosting and work to be done, we rarely have peace and quiet.  Our Farm House offered us that and so much more.  It is charmingly decorated and left with such beautiful memories.  I have noted that your chickens are very friendly, much more than “zee French ones”.  The fresh veggies and wonderful air has soothed us away from worries and cares.  Home away from home, but EVEN better. We enjoyed the fly-fishing.  Pete has always dreamed about fishing here and now I own my first pair of waders!  I caught my first fish, too!  Many thanks to you all for sharing your beautiful farmhouse.  I’ll miss the CALM and sweeping panoramic views.”

“Thank you for sharing your family home; what a treat!  The garden, chickens, horses and games kept my grandson very entertained!  I love the feel of the whole place—the wood, the pictures, the parlor, and especially the buttons!  We drove to West Yellowstone to see the grizzly bears and wolves, stopping for a dip in the warm Madison River on the way back.  Nice day trip.”  

“The farm-fresh eggs and rhubarb jam—simple things—but very precious pleasures.  The essence of the farm along with the glorious fields, views, creaky oak chairs, friendly hens . . . thanks so much for keeping the family photos and treasures accumulated over time around the house—it really adds to the warmth.  We so appreciate you sharing them with us!  Thanks for turning an inconvenience (due to our remodel chaos) into something truly special!”  

“Clear weather, downtown is great, farm is gorgeous.  Your property is beautiful.  Mary Ann is lucky she found you on the internet.  Your place and the vibes are amazing, peaceful, fun, relaxing.  Thank you!”  

“Thanks so much—such a lovely place—we think it should be called, “Grandma’s House.”  So comfy and familiar somehow, with lots of special touches.  We had a nice morning, drinking tea and coffee with the chickens—they’re great.  Last night was our wedding night and this was a perfect place to stay—don’t ever let it go!  We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing place.  Thank you.”

“We came to spend a week celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in the blissful peace and quiet of Our Farm House.  Our brilliant hostesses, Alice and Mardeen, made sure we were well-fed, well-housed as they shared their family home with us.  For dinner we recommend The Mint in Belgrade , Stacey’s in Gallatin Gateway and the Robin in Bozeman .  But most of all, relax, unwind and enjoy being on “Montana Time." 

“We thought our visit this year to Montana would be spent staying in a motel!! Finding this house—or should I say “home”, was amazing!! We both felt so comfortable here—to be able to walk around outside and see farmland—not a parking lot—was just wonderful.!  The house is so comfortable and homey feeling!  You are gracious and make people feel right at home!  We hope to return next year! Thanks again!”  

“Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with our families.  We drove from Seattle , WA , and our sister-in-law’s family drove from Ft. Collins , CO , to meet up here in MT.  It was the perfect meeting spot for us and the house was perfect.  We loved looking through this house, and the kids loved staying on the farm.  We hope to return again for a longer stay.  Thanks!”  

“What a delightful charming home to create memories . . .  We enjoyed the eggs and solitude and the décor of another time.  We will be back!”
