Our elegantly-appointed 2 BR, 1 BA, 1,200 sf cabin. Many of our guests have told us the photos just don't do justice to the house and the views.
Three ski resorts are within easy distance, and you'll have two private fishing accesses to the Gallatin River right across the road.
In Winter, step out of your bed onto lambskin rugs covering heated floors. This vacation home is Energy Star certified: so energy efficient that an air exchanger continually replaces stale air with fresh air for your comfort. Our well is 160' deep: fresh, clean water. You won't have to buy bottled water.

Double sinks in the bathroom mean less waiting time. The deep tub/shower has a handy, detachable shower head, and the commode sits in a separate alcove.
Our gourmet kitchen features high-end, stainless steel large and small appliances, plenty of pots, pans, baking pans, utensils, and lots of extra dishes. You'll also find a generous supply of staples, including herbs, spices, organic coffee, organic teas, organic sugar - much of what you'll need to get your vacation in Montana started hassle-free.

Rivers to Peaks vacation rental is located just outside of Bozeman, Montana, in the historic and quaint sawmill town of Gallatin Gateway, which is so named for its accessibility to both the North and West entrances to Yellowstone National Park. It is also the entrance to the beautiful Gallatin Canyon, along which the Gallatin River winds its way spectacularly toward Big Sky and Yellowstone Park.
Our spacious guest house sits on over 32 acres of grazing meadows just 13 miles southwest of both the Gallatin Field Airport (Bozeman Airport) and fun-filled Bozeman (home of Montana State University), with its boutiques, cinema, museums, symphony, ballet, opera, live theater, cultural center, art galleries, and great casual and upscale restaurants. It also boasts the shops you're used to shopping at, and large grocery stores.
In August every year, Bozeman goes all out for its Sweet Pea Festival. People come from all over to enjoy the artists' exhibits, food kiosks, Shakespeare in the Park, live music and dance, Sweet Pea and poster competition, hands-on crafts area, activities and entertainment for the children, and much more.
Bozeman is the home of Montana State University, where an authentic Pow Wow takes place every Spring, complete with parade and rodeo. It also hosts many cultural and educational events. Have a look at the AllBozeman website.
But YOU'LL spend your evenings and sleep in the quiet countryside, surrounded by cattle, horses, sheep, chickens (we've got some miniature horses in the neighborhood too), and in the company of a wide array of wildlife: elk, deer, moose, eagles, hawks, foxes, sand-billed cranes, osprey, pheasants, quail, beaver, rabbits, prairie dogs, and lots more.
You'll be treated to mesmerizing sunsets and sunrises from both the living room and kitchen, and feast your eyes on the undulating foothills, the Spanish Peaks and Bridger Mountains, and the Gallatin National Forest. There's plenty of room for parking up to three vehicles and one recreational vehicle just outside the front door.
If fly fishing is on your agenda, cast for blue ribbon trout, white water raft on the Gallatin, or float on the Madison, Missouri or Yellowstone Rivers by day (we have a great double mattress for this, or you can rent inner tubes nearby), or visit the famous geyser, Old Faithful, in Yellowstone National Park, just 90 minutes away. Then come home to a meal you've time-baked in the oven or crock pot.
After dinner, walk a few yards into the woods across our country road and fish the Gallatin River for prize trout from your choice of 2 private accesses. Or drive two minutes along the river to one of three public fishing bridges to laze on the beach, fish, or take a dip.
For world-class nordic or cross-country skiing, you're equidistant from Big Sky, Moonlight Basin, Bridger Bowl, Lone Peak Mountain, and Bohart Ranch ski resorts, or you can stay home and cross-country ski, snowshoe, or walk our meadows or road.
There are over 50 well-groomed hiking trails around Bozeman, many within a short drive (we have directions to all of them, including an assessment of difficulty).
Right in Gateway you can tour a well-preserved one-room school house, the Little Bear School House Museum, or eat at the famous Stacey's Steak House, where Ted Turner can sometimes be spotted having a beer and enjoying the live music.
Near Four Corners, 5 miles away, you'll find the famous Bozeman Hot Springs, boasting 9 soaking pools, including an olympic- sized swimming pool, sauna, steam room, gym, spa and fitness classes (be sure to ask us if we have a free pass).There's also a kart racing arena for the whole family to enjoy.
Book today! In today's economy, Rivers to Peaks is your money-saving and spacious alternative to a hotel.

Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Bozeman
We chose this unique, remote corner of Gallatin Valley because the property sits in an open, wide area, with vast vistas of mountains and hills on all sides. We are delighted by the wildlife, and are sure you will be too: horses grazing the pastures, graceful sand-billed cranes, geese, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, white-tail deer, red foxes, coyotes, beavers, gophers, pheasants, partridge and many other species of birds, rabbits, elk, and the occasional moose and bear. We've even had a llama in the neighborhood.
An added feature is the famous Bozeman Hot Springs and Spa, just six miles away: a first-class spa with an olympic size swimming pool, another outdoor pool, hot, warm and cold soaking pools, sauna and steam room, gym and luxurious spa. A wonderfully indulgent way to spend a Sunday morning, or cap off your day outdoors.
Then there's Bozeman! Great small shops downtown, first-class restaurants, theatre, movies, art galleries, concerts, jazz, local musicians, museums, the exciting yearly Sweet Pea Arts Festival the first weekend of August, which celebrates the magnificent Summers in our Valley, and so much more.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Catch prized blue ribbon trout from two PRIVATE accesses to the Gallatin River just across our road, with an additional two public fishing bridges nearby. We're situated equidistant from three downhill and two cross country ski resorts, at the mouth of the breathtaking Gallatin Canyon, an area replete with well-groomed hiking trails. You can walk, cross-country ski, or snowshoe on our property, let the children and dogs safely play in the creek and within the fenced yard, and enjoy the horses in the pastures year-round.
It's 40 minutes to Big Sky, another 35 minutes to Yellowstone Park, and both downtown Bozeman and Gallatin Field Airport are just 14 miles away. AND, the relaxing, luxurious Bozeman Hot Springs and Spa is literally seven minutes away!
Enjoy the famous natural hot springs less than a 10 minute drive away. Nine hot, medium and cold dunking pools; large outdoor and indoor swimming pools; sauna; steam room, luxurious spa for massages and other treatments, and a gym. Elegant, newly renovated.
Step into a one-room schoolhouse complete with artifacts of days gone by. Right next to the Exxon station in Gallatin Gateway, on Highway 191.
Elegant, gourmet dining (but you can dress casually!) inside historical Gallatin Gateway Inn.
Yellowstone National Park and its famous geyser, Old Faithful, is just 90 minutes away, a spectacular drive through the Gallatin Canyon and Gallatin National Forest.
Fabulous burgers, including bison, cowboy fries, seafood, bar. It was the town's first bank. Sightings of Ted Turner, our neighbor, have been known to occur.
Owner's Map of Bozeman
We moved to the Gallatin Valley after being captured by the rugged, wild, landscape, the four blocks of downtown Gallatin Gateway, and the majestic mountain views. Both our home and the guest cottage sit on 31 acres of grazing meadows in rural Gallatin Gateway, the entry to the Gallatin Canyon and West Yellowstone Park. Bodhi, Ziji, and we both look forward to welcoming you.

THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR' HILLS
Guest: GERARD
(DALLAS PA. )
Date of Stay: 07/04/11
Review Submitted: 01/09/12
THE GOLD IS THE COLOR OF THE GUEST HOUSE UNDER THE STUNNING MONTANA SUNSET! THE HILLS SURROUNDE THE GOLD! THIS HOUSE WAS PERFECT FOR WIFE, THREE KIDS, THE DOG AND ME. EVERYTHING WAS NEW OR IN NEW CONDITION. THE VIEW OUT THE WINDOW WAS FABULOUS BUT WHO WANTED TO LOOK OUT - WE WENT OUT - ALL DAY EVERY DAY! THE LOCATION WAS RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING. BOZEMAN THIS WAY. YELLOWSTONE THAT WAY. SHOPPING AND SPAS FOR THE 3 GIRLS, UNMATCHED TROUT FISHING FOR THE LAD AND ME. SCENERY EVERYWHERE! FENCED IN YARD FOR THE DOG (OR SMALL CHILDREN.) THE LANDLORDS WERE INVISIBLE UNLESS WE NEEDED SOMETHING OR STROLLED DOWN THE LANE TO CHEW THE FAT. ONE DAY I COMMENTED HOW WE LIKE OUTDOOR FIRES AT HOME - THE NEXT MORNING A VERY NICE COLLEGE GUY WAS BUILDING A FIRE PIT WITH AN ATTACHED GRILL IN THE YARD! HE EVEN USED A LEVEL. NEVER MIND THERE IS A NICELY EQUIPPED GAS UNIT AT HAND! TOP NOTCH FLY FISHING WAS UP THE VALLEY IN BIG SKY WITH "GALLATIN RIVER GUIDES." OUR GUIDE, BOB, TREATED US AND THE FISH LIKE WE WERE HIS CHILDREN - TASTY LUNCHES AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HANDLING FISH FOR PICTURES. AT THE MADISON MY SON HAD A HUGE TROUT ON THAT STRIPPED ALL HIS LINE AND THEN PARTED WAYS. FROM A NONDESCRIPT MEADOW SLUICE HE LANDED AN 18" RAINBOW. WE WERE THE HEROES OF ONE GALLATIN WHITE WATER FLOAT TRIP 'CAUSE WE WERE LANDING FISH AS THEY SPLASHED BY. BOB COACHED US WELL AS WE CONTINUED TO LAND FISH AT WILL AFTER HIS THREE DAYS WERE UP. HE TAUGHT US ALL THE SECRETS OF THE SECRET SPOTS. WE HAD MOST OF OUR OWN EQUIPMENT EXCEPT FOR RODS, LINE AND FLIES THOUGH THEY ARE A COMPLETE OUTFITTER. I SAW THREE GUYS DRIVE UP, GET OUT OF THEIR SUV WITH NOTHING AND GO FISHING. WHEN THEY RETURNED, AS WE CHILLED AFTER OUR DAY, THEY LAUGHED AND SPOUTED FISHING TALES AND SLAPPED EACH OTHER ON THE BACKS, THANKED THEIR GUIDE, GOT IN THEIR SUV AND DROVE OFF INTO THE SUNSET. THE YELLOW BUS TOUR OF YELLOWSTONE WAS ALL THAT IT IS ADVERTISED. OUR DRIVER, TIM, HAS BEEN DOING THE LOOPS FOR 40 YEARS! I SAT SHOTGUN AND WE TRADED SARCASTIC BARBS FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP MUCH TO THE ENJOYMENT OF THE OTHER PASSENGERS AND AN INITIAL EMBARRASSMETN TO MY FAMILY. A FAMILY COULD LAND IN BOZEMAN WITH ONLY SUITCASES, RENT A CAR, FLOP DOWN IN THIS CABIN, AND FISH AND SIGHTSEE 'TILL THE END OF TIME (MAYBE DEC. 21 2012? LOL) WHY, THERE WERE EVEN SPICES AND SOME CONDIMENTS AVAILABLE. BEST VACATION EVER DESPITE TRANSMISSION IN VAN FRYING IN MINN. ON WAY OUT. LOL

Exceeds Expectations

Review Submitted: 09/22/11
My husband and I recently spent 5 days at Rivers to Peaks. We chose this property because of it's location- close to Bozeman but out in the country with easy access to the Gallatin River for fishing. It is rare to rent a cabin that exceeds expectations but this one certainly did. The views were fabulous! 180 degree views of the mountains from the living room and the kitchen, deer in the yard every day, a peaceful setting. The kitchen was very well-equipped - we cooked most dinners at home and I can't think of a kitchen item I wanted that wasn't available (and had I needed something, Graciela would have brought whatever I needed from her own kitchen). The entire cabin was VERY clean and tastefully furnished- with comfy pillows and beds, fluffy towels, etc. The pictures are a good representation of the cabin - but, as I said, it exceeded expectations across the board. We floated the Yellowstone on a fly fishing trip, fished the Gallatin, did sightseeing in Livingston and Bozeman, took some local hikes - I would recommend this cabin to anyone going to the area- it is centrally located for outdoors activities and close enough to Bozeman that driving in for a meal or shopping is convenient.

A great place to stay

We spent 2 weeks at this clean and fabulously well maintained cabin and it has all the amenities as described. The owners are extremely responsive to any requests (their home is on the property). The peace and beauty of this location with neighboring horses, mountain views and the private Gallitan River access across the road and public access within 2 miles, made this a fisherman's dream. We brought our dog and the fenced yard is huge.The cabin is just a few miles from trail heads for hiking in the Gallitan National Forest( try Indian Ridge and Lava Lake), and is on the route to Big Sky(try hikes higher in the Moon Bowl) and the West entrance toYellowstone Park.We found the 12 mile ride into Bozeman downtown fast and easy, and attended many in-town activities including the Sat. Farmer's and Crafts market, the Thursday night Music on Main concerts, the art walk, the Emerson art and restaurant complex and eating at the many excellent restaurants. Downtown Bozeman is charming and welcoming and the tickets to live theater are reasonable ($15. for Oklahoma!) The upper and lower Madison River (you can float on the lower Madison, and have excellent trout fishing on the Upper Madison) is about an hour away. We hired a guide for 3 boat trips for fly fishing on the Upper Madison and it was fantastic! While our stay seemed longer than others in the guest book, comments by past visitors for even 2-3 day stays all indicated that they too had loved this charming cabin, and had found it as comfortable in the winter when skiing was available, as in the summer (we were there in July). We would go back in a heartbeat, and recommend it to all.

Can we live here?

"Can we live here?" was what two of my kids kept asking during our stay in June 2011. I often wondered it, too, as will you. The cabin is spacious, homey, and impeccably clean. The owners have put so much thought and care, time and effort, into providing basically everything you would need or want. The view is magnificent, the setting serene, the space environmentally-friendly. The owners accomodated our changing schedule with no qualms and even let our kids play with their dogs. Whenever we travel to Bozeman to visit our family, we will stay here. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Owner response:Since these guests were here, we've added a firepit with a grill, which our current guests have raved about. They've enjoyed s'mores under star-studded skies.

Fantastic Early Summer Stay

Review Submitted: 02/21/11
Our family stayed at Rivers To Peaks during the month of June, 2010. We could not have been happier with the accommodations. The guest house is located just a short walk (literally a couple of minutes) from the Gallatin river. The river was still high from the spring runoff when we were there or we would've fished every day. The furnishings were very comfortable and the house spotless. Because the location is about 10 miles from Bozeman (that is, 10 miles in the direction of Yellowstone and Big Sky) amongst farms and pastures, it is very quiet - a great location for nighttime star gazing. The owners are extraordinary people who went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. We really can't imagine a better place to stay. We have been recommending, and will continue to recommend Rivers To Peaks to any friends or family visiting Yellowstone or Southwestern MT. It is just a great place.

Such a warm, private, and healthy feeling space. Everything we needed during our stay had already been thought of and provided, whether it be in the kitchen, bathroom, furniture, amenities, etc. We particularly appreciated the attention paid to environmental aspects. The surroundings were beautiful, and we highly recommend the nearby hot springs. We'll definitely return!

On arrival, I sent this email to our host because I was so happy with what would be our home for the next three nights. -------------------- Hi Graciela, OMG, your guest home is amazing! A home away from home, only better. Wish we were staying longer. But feel lucky that we're staying at all. Mom loves it too. And the open spaces make it easy for her to move around on her walker. As you probably noticed, we arrived at dusk. We had a full day driving the Beartooth Scenic Hwy with lots of stops for photos, lunch in Cooke City, and then more sight-seeing in northern Yellowstone. I think we'll pop over to Virginia City on Friday, and then just hang out at your lovely place on Saturday. We've been working on a scrapbook of our trip, so a hang-out day would be good for that and some R&R. Thx for the lovely, fresh-from-the-hen eggs. Can't wait to try them. Warm regards, Carol -------------------- Graciela and Charles put a lot of TLC into this home and their guests. We felt pampered and welcome,... and also walked away with a few home design ideas. If you want to splurge on an elegant and delicious meal, go to The Porterhouse restaurant at the Gallatin Gateway Inn--a hop, skip, and jump from the guest house. Out of a month of travel, this was our most enjoyable meal. I do hope I can visit this area again, and will surely stay at the Rivers to Peaks Guest House. Delightful.

This was the best ever experience; everything was more than I expected. The home was exceptionally beautiful The furniture and decorating was 1st class. The bedrooms had great beds and lots of room. The kitchen was equipped with the latest appliances. It was a joy to cook in. The laundry was more than just a washer and dryer. It had a nice big sink to clean up after fishing and the trout that was caught across the road was prepared in the adjacent kitchen . The owners put so much thought into this rental that we were just blown away . How about fresh eggs from their chickens and fresh produce from their garden: where else would you get that! And imagine looking out the windows in the kitchen and living room and see nothing but green fields and snow in the mountains. To top this all off the host and hostess were the ultimate in graciousness. Because were were close to Bozeman we had a chance to explore that town. We ate out at two near by places one was a bar that had great hamburgers. The other place was a historical hotel and restaurant. Great atmosphere and food. I hope to get back there next year.
