Bobcat Vacation rental condo

Post by SonomaCat » Fri Nov 19, 2010 1:13 pm

This is yet another one of my "what are your thoughts?" posts.

A lot of people rent out condos and houses as vacation rentals, including a lot in Bozeman. My wife and I have really gotten into the habit of going this route over hotels when we travel because it's so nice to have a real "home base" with lots of room and freedom to spread out, cook at home, etc., when we travel for extended periods of time. They also allow you to put a lot of people in one place if you want, ultimately saving quite a bit of money over getting several hotel rooms.

With that in mind, we were brainstorming the other day and were wondering if this kind of vacation rental, with a Bobcat twist, might be a good idea in Bozeman.

If somebody were to put up for rent a nice 3 BR/2 Bath condo with garage and laundry and all of the other comforts of home (cable, wifi, etc.) in Bozeman for, say, $150/night, and the owners were to donate 10% of all rental proceeds to the Bobcats (which would add up to a decent amount over the course of a year), would this be something that you would utilize and encourage your friends to utilize? It would be a great way to have a great place to stay while also directly contributing to MSU.

If this sounds popular enough among the Bobcat faithful, I wonder if this might be something that we could rally several owners of vacation rental properties to adopt.

This is what I've felt we should have in Bozo, preferably between the fieldhouse and the stadium and track, but as a minor inconvenience, acquire the land immediately adjacent to the booster side of the stadium on the Hylite side of the stadium: http://www.georgiacenter.uga.edu/cch/fa ... romo=hotel" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I can also envision one of our landscape engineering grads putting a world renown 18 hole golf course adjacent to the hotel.
Young Mr. Bergum, where were you when you encountered this college perk
