Subject:short term rentals in Bozeman
Categories:Public Comment
I am writing you in regards to some concerns I have regarding the potential limitations put on short term rentals in
Bozeman. I am resident of Bozeman who frequently uses a variety of local short term rental situations to host clients for
company meetings. I also host a large number of Patagonia retailers and staff for various events like the Bozeman
Icefest, various trail events and press trips. While hotels are an obvious solution, they don’t meet our needs as we strive
to push homemade, healthy meals and a more social living situation during these 2‐10 day stays.
I recently went to book with my favorite local STR that has almost a dozen great options and learned of some potential
hiccups in their ability to continue forward with this as an option for us.
Can you please explain why you feel these situations are not healthy for the Bozeman area economy and what other
options I should pursue? I’m happy to get on the phone if that is easier.
Thank you for your consideration!
