Come on out and get lost in Montana!, While here, find yourself while staying with us at our rustic vacation home. Get knee-deep in the Gallatin River where trout rise at several nearby access points, take a hike on one of the many nearby trails in the Gallatin National Forest, visit nearby Yellowstone, hit the slopes in Big Sky, or sneak away for an urban night out on the town in Bozeman.
Our vacation home is ideally located approximately 25 miles from the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport. It is nestled about 700 ft. upslope from the canyon roadway between Bozeman and Big Sky, home to one of the top ski resorts in the US. From the house and the bi-level deck, view majestic Douglas firs, wild flowers, Castle Rock, and the cliff face across the river during spring, summer, and fall. During winter months view the same, but all becomes a snow-covered wonderland viewed from the cozy warmth inside. You will enter the house from a large double carport--great place to organize during a road trip, and, of course, to keep cars free of snow during winter snows. The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of cookware, dishes, etc. Kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker. Coffee and basics are provided. The dining area seats 6-8. The deck also has a large table that seats 6-8 on the top level and another 6 on lower level. The gas grill is on the upper level deck extension off the deck and carport. The house has three comfortable bedrooms, two with queen beds and one with double. All beds are topped with soft linens and down comforters. Extra throws are scattered about, as well as extra quilts on the beds. We also provide 2 pack and plays for your little ones found in two of the bedroom closets. There are two full baths, one with a bathtub/shower combination and the other with a shower, both stocked with plenty of linens and bath soap. The living area has a flat screen tv, wifi internet, and some toys and games. We do not have cable tv, but streaming is offered. The laundry area has a washer and dryer for guests. Remember we are located in the Gallatin River Canyon, so cell phone access is not available, but there is a land line in the house. You will be able to access your texts and emails with wifi. If you need to use your cell, service is available about a mile north, just outside the canyon.
For the adventurous, hike any of the nearby trails, some within walking distance from the house. Castle Rock, seen from the deck, is an amazing hike with a breath-taking view of the river and canyon from the keyhole near the top. You'll certainly want pictures in the keyhole. Other nearby hikes are Indian Ridge, Hell-Roaring, Garnet Mountain, and Lava Lake, and Gallatin River Trail, just to name a few. If you like, walk across to book a rafting, flyfishing, or zip-lining adventure, just down the drive, or book a horseback ride with any of several nearby outfitters. Take a short, amazingly gorgeous drive to Big Sky during the summer months for music venues, to golf, ride the ski-lift, mountain bike, zip-line, dine, or take in a movie. During ski season, it doesn't get any better than the skiing at Big Sky Ski Resort.
You will need to get groceries before coming to the house. There are grocery stores in Bozeman, Belgrade, and Big Sky, as well as a Costco and Wal-mart in Bozeman. Enjoy!!
