About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A little bit o' country, yet close to town, with spectacular mountain views!

Designed to bring you relaxation and comfort, this is a sweet, immaculate, one bedroom, with full kitchen and breathtaking 360 degree mountain views. Licensed by State of Montana and inspected and licensed by the Gallatin County Health Department.
AIR CONDITIONED for summer when necessary, and cozy HEAT for winter! Ten minutes south of downtown Bozeman in beautiful Hyalite Meadows, near the mouth of Hyalite Canyon and recreation area…open year round to hiking, biking, fishing, skiing, and in winter, ice climbing. I can provide indoor space for bikes or skis while you stay.
Ideal for the vacationers who are looking for peace and tranquility in a pastoral setting - you don’t have to go far to see horses, cows, sheep and even a nearby alpaca farm!
Make yourselves at home in this luxury apartment with fully equipped kitchen – refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and dishwasher. Pots, pans, and stoneware pottery dishes are here for you to use.
Coffee pot and electric tea kettle with tea and coffee for your enjoyment!
The apartment is equipped with WI-FI, Samsung LED TV, and ROKU with HULU. There is a twin hide-a-bed in the living room available as well. Request sheets upon arrival for hide a bed.
From the large picture window in the bedroom (queen bed) soak in the ever fascinating views of the Spanish Peaks. Big Sky ski area is just 50 miles south.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck (when it's warm outside) with a view toward the Bridger Mountains. Bridger Bowl downhill ski area and Cross Cut cross country Park are just 45 minutes away.
Roads are plowed often in the winter, as well as snow cleared from my driveway. But AWD or 4WD vehicle with good tires is necessary for winter driving in MT! Winter guests must be willing to walk through some snow, brush snow off their vehicle, and possibly shovel a bit of snow at times!
Summertime perennial flower gardens on this 2 acre property for your enjoyment. Paved roads in safe neighborhood yours for a lovely walk! Awe inspiring sunrises and sunsets, dramatic storms, and 'big' watercolor skies will contribute to making your stay at this panoramic viewpoint memorable. I know you’ll want to come back!
Downtown Bozeman, MSU, or 'the mall' are a short scenic drive from here. Bozeman has a plethora of great restaurants in all price ranges. Downtown Bozeman, with many historic old brick buildings is a fun place to wander.
No-smoking/no vaping apartment, and sorry, no pets.*
Please read my reviews...people who have stayed here have been very happy with Indian Paintbrush Inn!
* There are excellent pet boarding facilities if you travel with a pet, but they require advance reservations.

Beautiful views, clean and comfy apartment

This property was wonderful. Very pretty spot, large apartment, very clean, and incredible views from each room. Carol was very helpful, and she even had fresh pumpkin bread and snacks!! Bed was comfy, nice sheets and towels, so very much better than a hotel room.

Perfect Retreat

Just the perfect place to stay that had everything we needed. We had been traveling out West from Florida in camper van and it was wonderful to be able to get out for a few days. We were wonderfully welcomed and informed of all the good things in Bozeman. Such a great location of peacefulness but still close enough to town. The highlight is the short travel to Hyalite Canyon which we did two evenings. Love the area and hope to be able to visit again!

In Town But Out Of Town - Just perfect

The detached guest apartment was spacious and perfectly appointed with everything and then some. Carol was so gracious to let us keep our bikes in the garage. Views are fantastic and I am booking now for my next Bozeman trip. Proximity to biking and downtown all just right.

A great spot just outside of Bozeman

This was our 4th stay at Carol's amazing place on Indian Paintbrush. It's a charming apartment, 5 miles outside of Bozeman. It's sparkling clean, with breathtaking views in every direction of the surrounding mountains. Very conveniently located both for access to Bozeman as well as the surrounding countryside, for cycling, hiking, or visiting lovely Hyalite Lake. Perfect space for a couple, although it can sleep 3. Very quiet setting.

Lovely spot just outside of Bozeman

This was our third stay at Carol’s beautiful place, just outside of Bozeman. It is immaculately clean, bright, well-equipped, and perfect for my husband and myself. We had easy access to great cycling right out the door, and close enough to town to be convenient. Carol is a great host, and has provided everything you could want. And she responds promptly to any questions. Thanks again, Carol!

Upstairs to Apartment with a View

Carol greeted us as we drove into our parking spot on her spacious driveway. She quickly ran through how to access her wifi and how to contact her if we needed anything. When we arrived this cozy apartment was super-clean and ready for us to just relax and enjoy the outstanding views of Bozeman and the Bridger Mountains to the north and the Spanish Peaks to the south. It was great to have such nice place so close to the city.

A little country and allot of luxury!

This past week I stayed at this wonderful vacation rental, and it is even better than the description and photos reveal! Everything is crisp and new, beautifully decorated, and yet cozy, warm, and comfortable. The kitchen is unbelievable...WOW! And then there is the deck off of the living area with a breathtaking view of the Bridger mountains, (wish I'd had more time to just relax and sunbathe on the deck). Actually, it's not possible to find a less than stunning view from any window in this apt! If you're looking for a tranquil environment surrounded by natural beauty, I highly recommend this rental...it is exceptional! Perfect for romantic occasions and special events; I'm seriously considering it (gift certificate) for my son's upcoming wedding/honeymoon. There is allot available to do with Hyalite Canyon just to the south, and downtown Bozeman a few minutes away. BTW, Bozeman has a fantastic downtown! I will definitely stay longer the next time!

From the mountain views to the homelikr feeling, Carol superseded our expectations. This was definitely a home away from home with a short drive to just about anything you wanted to do. We got to see deer in the backyard, beautiful sunsets ans poppys next door that popped up every day. And Carol's banana bread was sooo delicious! We will definitely be back.
