About this property

Mountain Luxury—On The Fly Ranch

We still have dates available for September and October.

Fall is the best time to fish for large browns and rainbows, shop Bozeman, and explore the Park. At On The Fly Ranch, your family or group will experience rustic luxury, modern amenities, and breathtaking 360-degree mountain views.

Our beautifully appointed 1,100 sq. ft. guesthouse rests on 20 private acres that borders Bozeman and Big Sky—25 minutes from Bozeman Airport.

And if fly fishing is your passion, public access to the Gallatin River is less than five minutes away, filled with 12" to 20" native browns, rainbows, and the occasional grayling. This section of the River is easy to walk and wade. Plus, the Madison River (30 minutes) and Yellowstone Park (90 minutes) are close by.

The guesthouse features a great room with a 12-foot ceiling, sofa, big cozy chairs, dining table, TV, and a wood-burning stove.

An oversized bunkroom includes six custom double bunk beds, desk, and a walk-in closet.

A modern kitchen features a gas range, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, new cookware, table settings, and barware. And there's an extra-large bathroom with two sinks, soaking tub, and shower.

Of course, there's air conditioning, heat, a washer and dryer, quality linens, towels, down pillows, soap, and shampoo.

Step outside to a covered porch, gas grill, fire pit, lawns, and expansive mountain views.

Another big plus is the historic steakhouse and bar - a live music honkey tonk, and Mexican restaurant just down the road—you can walk, but we drive.

And, within 10 minutes of your door, there’s a gourmet market for meat, fish, beer, wine, and groceries. Baked goods, coffee, liquor stores, and multiple restaurants are also nearby. Along with two fly shops that offer local knowledge, gear, and apparel.

Yeah, this should be your Home on the Range to relax, fish, and make the world go away.

Owners are in the main house to answer questions.

This home blew away all of our expectations! It was located on a beautiful ranch and gave us the full Montana experience, while also feeling very private. The hosts were excellent, even leaving personal touches for us as guests that made it feel like a home away from home.

The Bunkhouse was amazing, cozy and perfectly fitting for a stay in Montana. Michele and Dwayne are amazing hosts and checked in on us regularly. I would rate this a 10 star if I could. Montana is amazing and the location of the property is perfect. You can easily be anywhere in 30 minutes. Just can’t say enough great things about the property. Thank you for making our family vacation more special.

We had an incredible family trip at On the Fly Ranch! Our family of four loved the views, the property, and Michelle and Duane were available to help with anything. The space is GORGEOUS and we all fell in love with the horses, dogs and beautiful porch views. We played bocce ball, BBQ'd and had a nice glass of wine or coffee on the porch. We also had an awesome coffee and pastries at the Coffee Pot, which was not on their list but was so good! Fly fishing, rafting and of course a Yellowstone National Park day all were so easy from their beautiful bunkhouse. 10/10 recommend!

Home Away From Home

The Bunkhouse was a perfect get-a-way home for my family for our first trip to MT. It was beautiful, cozy, & the perfect distance away from Bozeman without being directly in the city. My boys had a great time fishing on the river close by. The bunk beds were so comfortable & the beautiful yard was a great place to have a camp fire at the end of the day & let the kids run around. I can't say enough positives about this place! Michelle was also very attentive if we needed anything. We enjoyed every minute! :-)

Bunkhouse stay

The Bunkhouse was better than advertised! It was so nice and accommodating for our family of 5. We loved the bunkbeds, comfy and fun. Duane provided fishing recommendations which were helpful. The book in the cabin gave great advice on where to eat, grocery shop etc. The area was peaceful and well landscaped, very relaxing! Highly recommend this VRBO. We will be back!

Mountain Time

My family of 4 stayed at the beautiful On the Fly Ranch. From the moment we drove up we knew we picked the best ranch for us to stay at. The sunset views were amazing on the sweet porch and all the little touches when we arrived were just perfect. The ranch gave our family the opportunity to have beautiful homebase while we explored all the Montana had to offer! We will return to relax and recharge!

Picture Perfect

The Bunkhouse was the perfect blend of beauty and comfort. Located just close enough to Bozeman and Big Sky for nights out, shopping and other activities. Back at the Ranch breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for rest and relaxation. Whether we were casting a line, riding horses, rafting or hiking - we were never far from the comforts of the Bunkhouse. Our family of 5 felt right at home during our stay, the Bunkhouse is thoughtfully stocked and tastefully decorated. We truly loved our time creating memories in Gallatin Gateway, and as a guest of On The Fly Ranch. The hosts were spectacular.

SUPERAMAZING!

Ok! So I made a new word up! SUPERAMAZING! I don’t know how else to describe Duane and Michelle’s place. From the start the setting is picturesque and so quite. The property itself so inviting, warm, and fitting for Montana living with so much character! Super clean and everything you need for a few day stay or like us a full week. We actually stayed “home” for a couple days and just enjoyed the peace and quiet and character this property offers. Michelle was extremely good at communicating and answering any questions we had. An outstanding host, friendly, kind and welcoming! You will not be disappointed!

Relaxing time away from the Hustle and Bustle...

Our family of 6 (2 parents and 4 teen children) enjoyed our stay at the Bunkhouse. We loved its location and the peace it provided. Each day we prepared breakfast in the cabin before heading out on our daily adventures. The Bunkhouse was close enough to Bozeman and Big Sky to visit each for activities/dinners. We spent 1 day at Yellowstone to see the sights and it was an easy drive. We also learned to fly fish, hiked to Lava Lake, and rafted the Gallatin River. Our family especially enjoyed the 3 dogs that came to visit every day!! Great location (close to places) but secluded to enjoy the beauty of Montana.

Gallatin Getaway for the family!

The bunkhouse was perfectly placed in the most gorgeous surroundings of lush green grass, snowy mountain peak in the distance and majestic horses on the property! The bunkhouse is beautifully outfitted and the front porch is a favorite spot to take it all in. Duane and Michele were gracious and helpful hosts. Our family of 6 couldn’t have asked for a better home away from home! Many Thanks, The Crane family
