Most people can agree that Downtown Bozeman starts at Willson Ave, if not at Grand Ave. And situated perfectly between the two streets and right on Main Street is The LARK. The LARK is the first business before you start your stroll Downtown and they are more than happy to offer accommodations and to act as your local guides! At The LARK, they want you to fall in love with your modern one-of-a-kind Bozeman guestroom, but more importantly, The LARK wants you to get out and find your own version of Bozeman to fall in love with. And it shows! Each of The LARK’s guestrooms features beautiful views and local art as well as a place for you to keep your outdoor gear! In the lobby of The LARK, you can find local coffee makers, Treeline Coffee Roasters and something The LARK calls “The Map Room”, a room dedicated to maps and all anything you would need to plan an adventure. So don’t forget to swing by the Map Room and plan a trip, or ask The LARK about their local guides who are more than happy to share their knowledge with you! Because The LARK doesn’t just want to provide you with a place to be a guest, they want to help you be a part of Bozeman’s beautiful community.

Lehrkind Mansion: Bed & Breakfast
Bozeman is a historic city with buildings that have been around since Montana first became a state! And even though it’s been over a hundred years since Bozeman’s beginning in 1864, Bozeman has worked hard to preserve the beautiful buildings that make up its history. The Lehrkind Mansion is one of those beautiful old homes. Lehrkind Mansion was built in 1897 and is an elegant example of Montana’s Victorian-style past. An interesting fact about Lehrkind Mansion is that it was built by a brew-master, Julius Lehrkind, who needed a home next to his new brewery and when construction began felt it was only fitting to “bless” the home by soaking each brick in large tubs of beer. Today the Lehrkind Mansion is a beautiful bed and breakfast that has kept that classy 1900’s feel. And with a host who was once a park ranger for Yellowstone National Park, the Lehrkind Mansion is the perfect place to kick off your Bozeman adventure!

Another historic home turned bed-and-breakfast, the Lindley House is located just off of Main Street at the corner of Olive Street and Lindley Place. The beautiful Lindley House features the classic Victorian style that was prominent during the 1890s when the Lindley House was built. However, it wasn’t until 2016 that the Lindley House was bought by the Udall’s, who began to renovate it from an old home into a beautiful vintage bed and breakfast. After learning new skills and working tirelessly alongside some of Bozeman’s best, the Udalls’s dream of having a bed and breakfast was finally a reality. Today the Lindley House is a cute little bed and breakfast with five bedrooms, each capable of housing two guests and one that can fit four, a private yard, and a great room that’s perfect for relaxing and planning before you head out! The Lindley House is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a small-scale yet classy getaway!
