Wow! We booked this house for a family vacation before dropping our oldest off at Montana State. Thrilled to say it exceeded our expectations in every way! The house is well-stocked, beautifully decorated and spacious - plenty of room (and bathrooms) for all. The property it sits on is stunning and perfect for relaxing chat sessions on the back porch watching for wildlife, putting our feet in the stream or fishing. The proximity to Big Sky, Yellowstone and everything in between was also a huge plus. Communication with the host was super quick, friendly and very helpful. Loved this place and will definitely be staying here again!

The house has great space and feels secluded but still close to town. Amazing backyard, close to fish the river out the back door. Peaceful. Saw deer every day. Hosts are fantastic to communicate with. We even used the owner as our fly fishing guide to help us navigate the river behind the house. Bbq and fire pit out back or sit on the top deck with a propane fire pit and listen to the river and watch the stars come out. Overall great place to unwind and host family and be in the outdoors. We would book again.

We expected more. There were areas in home that had dust on them leaving impressions it had not been cleaned. There were spider webs hanging on walls (noticeable more in master bath/toilet area). Not having closets for hanging up our clothes was not what we have come to expect- their clothes were in them. Overall looks pretty in pictures but it's a shame it's not a place we will use again.

This house is very attractive and has a large yard that eventually ends at the Gallatin River. The furnishings are striking, but not really sturdy as desirable for rental use. When I received the check-in directions 2 days before arrival, they were accompanied by a page full of additional rules, including no shoes in the house, no food anywhere but kitchen/adjoining room, etc. When we arrived, there was a notebook with more rules and instructions, such as don't use the food in the pantry except a designated shelf (no shelf was designated), or refrig. The worst disappointment, however, was that all the closets were locked and we had no where to hang the clothing we brought to use for our stay--6 nights! The hosts brought us a hanging rack and some hangers, but since there were 7 of us, we took them upstairs and we downstairs people hung our clothes on the towel racks and in the laundry room. One bedroom didn't have a dresser, either! The tv would not get correct channels, and when the host came over (again), she finally reached behind the tv and switched the HDMI setting, saying "the people who were here before" must have changed it. "The people who were here before" were also to blame for the grill gas tank being left on, so that the tank was empty when we planned to use it. Also missing a few basics any rental would have, like tissues and more than one hand towel in bathroom, and no placemats to protect the dining room table.

We spent a week at this home and genuinely appreciated the setting on the greenbelt surrounding the Glatin River. The yard opens up to a beautiful pathway that winds around the river and its offshoots. Our host - Shelly was very helpful before and during our check in to assure we had everything we needed. The fully equiped kitchen allowed us to enjoy our own meals, though we did enjoy several meals out as well.This is a great home if you are going to stay in the Four Corners area.

Perfect!!

Beautiful house on a lovely stream and close to downtown Bozeman, not far from the airport yet quiet and secluded. Clean and comfortable. Would have liked twin beds in at least one room, but other than that, it is the best VRBO that I have ever experienced. Kitchen is well-stocked with what you need.
