The Gallatin Canyon is considered one of the most scenic areas in Montana, full of wildlife and adventure. This is the perfect in-between spot for a day ski trip at Big Sky Ski Resort or a day of shopping and nightlife in Bozeman. Hiking, biking, rafting, skiing, hot springs and bison and bear sightings are all minutes away!!
The home is in the Gallatin Canyon, off Highway 191, across from Storm Castle and the Gallatin River. The standalone home is outfitted with high-end furniture, new appliances and high-speed internet via Starlink.

The view from the living room window is of the dramatic cliffs of Storm Castle and the Gallatin River, a location that was featured in the movie, "A River Runs Through It".
The home is ideally located about mid-way between Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana. Enjoy exploring Bozeman, Big Sky, Yellowstone, or just take a relaxing hike right out the back door! A 5-minute drive north gets you to Spanish Creek which has a public access road that drives through part of Ted Turner's Flying D Ranch which has the nation's largest free roaming buffalo herds along with numerous other wildlife. Or, if you are more adventurous, three of the Canyon's top hikes (Storm Castle, Lava Lake, and Hell Roaring Creek) are within 5 minutes of the house!

The house is 30 minutes from Big Sky Ski Resort, 25 minutes from Bozeman, and 30 minutes from the Bozeman/Yellowstone International Airport. It is a 1 hour and 15-minute drive to the entrance of West Yellowstone. Skiing, Zip Lines, Blue Ribbon Fly Fishing on the Gallatin River, hiking trails galore, River Float Trips and horseback riding are all just minutes away.
We enjoy the company of neighbors that are about 300 yards from the house (one of them is a Deputy Sheriff), so we ask that noise be kept to a minimum.

Great location and wonderful amenities for skiing Big Sky and/or visiting Bozeman. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a Montana get-a-way. Great communication as well!
Beautiful place...Loved the back porch...saw deer come up in the evening...the place a couple of miles North is a great place to visit, we saw sandhill cranes, deer, elk, bison, moose and black bear!
We were very pleased with this property- so much better than paying 5X at the mountain. Everything we needed was here and we slept very well! Thanks so much for a well appointed place!

Very easy check in and great place. Location was great, was very quite but easy to get to Big Sky or Bozeman. The property had everything we could ever think of needing. Would absolutely recommend.

Beautifully decorated, very comfortable and extremely clean. Nicely equipped kitchen made cooking a pleasure, and having a washer and dryer was a bonus!! It's an easy drive to skiing at Big Sky. We hope to come again and highly recommend these exceptional accommodations!!
Location is far enough away from the urban areas to unwind, but close enough to visit Bozeman or Big sky with a moderate drive. Which the drive is so scenic that you’ll never even notice the time.
Cabin was perfect for everything we needed. Would recommend staying here without hesitation.

Why they chose this property
This property is ideally situated between Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana. You can access the best of both worlds in a nice rural setting, with easily accessible fly fishing, hiking, skiing and snowboarding, and much more. Montana is know for outdoor pursuits, and your proximity to Federally designated Wilderness (Lee Metcalf Wilderness), and 2 National Forests (Beaverhead and Gallatin) make this property an ideal basecamp for your adventures. Incredible views of Storm Castle cliffs, which are featured in the movie A River Runs Through It. Keep an eye out for the bighorn sheep which frequent the cliffs, and also keep an eye out for an occasional moose, bear, or mountain lion, which we share the property with.
What makes this property unique
Close to Big Sky, close to Bozeman, across the street from the Gallatin River, next to Ted Turner's Flying D Ranch, with access to true wilderness, bison viewing, and endless opportunities to enjoy the wild lands of Montana in literally every direction.
