Why the Owner Chose Bozeman
Beautiful location in the Rocky Mountain forest with a year round creek (with trout!), and, plentiful wildlife; deer, elk, moose, black bear, mountain lion(rarely), wild turkeys, coyote,
bunnies, many friendly critters, eagles! So refreshing to be in the middle of the wild, and, just a 10 minute drive to downtown Bozeman. Yellowstone Nat'l Park, Lewis 'n Clark Caverns, etc..to name just a few...this is a Rocky Mtn Vacation Paradise. Oh, five Blue Ribbon Trout streams and two major ski resorts from 20 minutes to one hour away! Location, location, location, and, a destination in its own right if you just want to get away, rest & relax!
The Unique Benefits at this Log Cabin
Hot tubbing under the stars in the forest.
Campfire and smores...great interpersonal family time making lasting, unforgetable memories.
A great place for solitude to restore the soul!

Hello Jim and Marie, Our stay at your cabin was fantastic and we are certain to return. We searched and searched for the perfect place and yours stood out as the only one that had everything we were looking for: authentic log cabin nestled in the woods with a crackling fire and a hot tub. Being located so close to Bozeman was a real bonus. The web site looked great but we were impressed when we arrived to see it was even better than the pictures posted on VRBO. We loved the way you decorated and noticed your attention to the smallest of details and especially appreciated the bear theme! Baths were well stocked with high quality soaps and shampoos and the softened water made for a luxurious shower. The bedroom had such nice sheets and a very comfortable mattress; the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and there was a bookshelf with current brochures of any activity one could want from Tours of Yellowstone to skiing at Bridger Bowl. A flock of wild turkeys strutted past our window every morning and white tail deer were abundant. Best of all, it was incredibly quiet and the perfect place to relax! I had hoped to post these comments on VRBO but they don’t make it easy to navigate their web site. Please feel free to use any of this on your comment page. Thank you for your incredible hospitality.

Quotes From Bear Creek Log Cabin Guestbook: August 15, 2007 We have had a great nine days in your wonderful cabin. We have enjoyed fishing, bird hunting and Yellowstone while based here. Bozeman is a great area and the calm provided at Bear Creek Log Cabin made the evenings just as pleasant as the activity-packed days. We hope to see you again in the near future. Gary and Linda M. Cedar Hill, Texas August 30, 2007 We have been to fifteen countries around the world, and have not had a better time in my life. This is a five star cabin in my book. We really wanted to go to some beach for our honeymoon, sure glad we picked here instead! I hope we can return for our anniversary. Perfect place! Kelly and Jenny C. Atlanta, Georgia July 10, 2007 We had a great week here at Bear Creek Log Cabin. Fished four rivers, hiked Grotto Falls, saw the Museum of the Rockies, floated the Yellowstone, and caught the rodeo in Lvingston. What a week! Your cabin was the perfect spot, and so well equipped and supplied. All the comforts of home! A sweet place to come home to after a day of fishing, hiking, and exploring. Thanks for being home for a wonderful Montana vacation! Jon and Angela S. Valley Head, Alabama P.S. Forgot to mention the deer that stopped by daily for breakfast, and the flock of six wild turkeys on the patio! We didn't see the mountain lion, though. July 20, 2007 Thank you, thank you, thank you! We fell in love with the cabin online but the reality was so much better than we ever dreamed. You have done an incredible job with this place. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking the National Forest trails (skip Yellowstone and discover the Gallatin Forest!). It is so peaceful here at the cabin. we loved the hot tup under the amazing stars. Just wish that we could stay forever! We hope to be back. Thanks again for everything! Nancy and Glenna Skokie, Illinois
