We had a wonderful stay! The house is spacious, clean, had everything we needed and more. The location was super convenient and made it easy for us to explore. We saw a lot of wildlife which was super exciting for my four and six year olds. Kitchen is well-appointed and we really enjoyed making family meals each evening and enjoying the backyard. We also fished in the river right out the back doors which was amazing!!! Beautiful property! So glad to be able to stay in a place like that on vacation!

Riverbend Retreat

This house is cozy with tons of room. The location is quick to get to Belgrade or Bozeman. The river is right off of the back yard and the views are absolutely amazing! There are deer, white doves, turkey, and tons of wildlife to watch. This house has living areas in both upstairs and downstairs along with an additional kitchenette upstairs. We were extremely pleased with this property and will definitely stay again on our next trip back.

We had the most wonderful stay at the beautiful Riverbend retreat in Bozeman, Montana! The backyard was stunning, with a peaceful creek running through it, mountains in the background, and deer passing through the property every day. It truly felt like a private retreat in nature.The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with everything we could possibly need—and the spice cabinet was a thoughtful bonus that we really appreciated. The home was spacious, giving our family plenty of room to spread out and relax. There was even a small kitchen upstairs (which we didn’t end up using) and a lovely loft area where our kids spent hours playing. Also, games provided upstairs were a big hit with our family!Bridger Bowl ski resort was only about a 20-25 minute drive, making it very convenient for our ski days. While the property feels tucked away and peaceful, it’s actually close to everything, which was the perfect balance for us.The hosts were fantastic! A communication, responsive, and helpful with all of our questions. The amenities were top-notch and the view was stunning! We truly can’t say enough good things about this beautiful property and our stay here. We would absolutely love to return and would highly recommend Riverbend retreat!

Great place

It was a wonderful home. Big and full of space. Very clean! The location was excellent! It felt like you were out in the "country" although it does have neighbors on both sides although the pics don't look that way. It was maybe a 15 minute drive to the airport, Walmart, shopping and the downtown area. My only mistake, and this is on me, is that the house does not have A/C. It wasn't something I even thought to look at and I didn't catch it when I booked. the days did get a little warm inside, they do have fans. The evenings and mornings were comfortable enough but the people upstairs definitely got warm during the day and in the evening until the cool down began. I would stay there again but maybe not June through August. It really is a beautiful clean, lovely home. They have everything you need for cooking in the nice big kitchen. And I loved the location.

Slice of peace

The house is quite roomy and sits on a beautiful, sizable lot that borders a small river and looks out on to a mountain range. No A/C takes some getting use to (we live in the south) and don’t be surprised if you hear/see wildlife out back at all hours of the night! Very nice and relaxing stay overall for larger groups.

Great experience at the property, we stayed for a week. Fun fishing and swimming in the creek, quick drive to Bozeman. Even did day trips to Yellowstone. If you want a private vacation rental for your group, highly recommend it.

Great house

There were seven of us and we rented the house for two weeks. The house was great. Clean and enough room to spread out. The tub upstairs would not drain on our first night there but they got someone out next day to fix it. Tons of deer came in yard each night which was such a beautiful thing to see. Our only disappointment was the river. We had specifically booked a house where the listing talked about the ability to fish, but river was too high and too fast to even be able to fish one time. We would definitely rent again, but this time we would come back when river was actually fishable. Wish we would have know this time of year that is common for that river. We will do better research next time. Kitchen is well stocked, and house has a great layout. Wish you could see TV from all angles of living room, but different furniture placement could fix that. Company was lovely to deal with. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful relaxing family vacation. Our boys, 9 and 13, enjoyed fishing and just running around and playing on the property. My Dad wanted to stay forever.

Great family house in the Gallatin Valley

Memorable winter family reunion. Enjoyed the winter activities in Bozeman, Bridger Mountains and Hyalite Canyon. Layout of 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms along with upstairs TV area and large downstairs living room worked well with plenty of spaces for people to read, use computers or watch TV. Kitchen is well appointed and it was easy to cook and serve a large group. This property has pretty views out the back and plenty of wildlife viewing. Must have vehicles available as there are no destinations walkable from the property. Extremely convenient to Airport, Bozeman and Belgrade.
