About this property
Drinking horse haven for outdoor adventurers located at the base of Bridger Mtn
A stay at Drinking Horse Haven is unlike any other in the area. The house is located on a multi-generational hay farm right outside the city of Bozeman. Enjoy a rustic Montana getaway without sacrificing the pleasures of the city. We are just a short 12 miles from the airport and only 5 miles from downtown. Our house sits on the edge of a National Forest, in the center of hay fields and tree covered hills which provide the opportunity to catch a glimpse of all sorts of wildlife from rabbits to moose.
The House:
The Haven is a 3 level cedar home with a prow of glass overlooking Bridger Creek. The top two levels are for the private vacation home. The basement is a completely separate apartment and occupied by the property manager. There are no shared spaces between the two units. The main floor has two bedrooms and one full bathroom. The Bunk Room has two sets of bunk beds with one full and three twins beds. The private bedroom is equipped with a nice new queen bed. The second floor is the loft and has its own full private bathroom with a King bed and a twin. The loft is open and overlooks the living room and kitchen with wonderful views of the creek. There is also a private balcony with views of the forest and sugar loaves. The rooms are decorated with cedar log beds and furniture which gives the home a touch of western flare. Plus, when it snows the Haven turns into your own warm and cozy giant snow globe. You’ll feel surprisingly secluded at the end of the road making it easy to immerse yourself in the lifestyle and serenity of Montana.
Kitchen:
We know how nice it is to share a meal with family and friends so we provide a fully stocked and functional kitchen for any and all of your cooking or baking or hosting needs. You won’t need to worry about having enough plates or cups or silverware for your gatherings. We even have dishware for the kiddos to use. Should you wish to enjoy a meal outside, we provide several foldout tables with plenty of extra chairs. If outdoor cooking is more your style then enjoy the views around the grill.
Internet:
Working remotely is now more common than ever and we are prepared to accommodate those needs. The kids bedroom is equipped with a desk while the private queen room and loft both have roll top desks, each situated next to an outlet. We have Starlink internet which provides steady reliable speeds. It consistently supports successful zoom calls.
Our Location:
There are several attractions within walking distance of The Haven. Take your family on day hikes to a couple of Bozeman’s most popular family friendly trailheads without even starting the car. Grab some quarters and walk down to the Fish Hatchery and feed the trout as they chase you along the bank. If you’re coming to the area for its popular fishing attractions then meander down to the creek with your fishing license and enjoy the solitude of your own private fishing spot without being late for dinner! If winter sports are attracting you to the area then you’ll enjoy a fast and easy commute to the Bridger Bowl Ski Hill.
Take day excursions to Hyalite, Big Sky, Yellowstone Park, The Gallatin River, The Madison River, the Yellowstone River, or numerous hiking trails in the area for daily adventures. Bozeman is surrounded by six mountain ranges and each offers its own opportunities. Ask our team for recommendations and we’ll set you off for an adventure you’ll never forget!

About the host
Hosted by McKaelee Shaw- Property Manager

Howdy! My name is McKaelee and I am the property manager for The Haven. I live on site and manage the land as well as the rental unit. I am fortunate enough to spend most of my time outside tending to this wonderful little piece of Montana that has been in my family for three generations.
Why they chose this property
It is not very often that a jewel of a place is available to visit and stay. The Bridger Mountains and the "M" tower over the property. Bridger Creek and the National forest that borders our place give us the unique opportunity to see and experience a range of wildlife usually found deep in the Montana wilderness. There aren't very many places that give you the chance to see a moose and get to the grocery in the same 20 minute time period.
What makes this property unique
Guests will have the opportunity to get a glimpse of Old Montana and the seclusion that goes hand in hand with that lifestyle. The wrap around porch of the Haven is a wonderful place to sit, breathe, and take a break from the hustle and bustle of life. You can enjoy the mountains, the sounds of the wind in the trees, and the water running through the creek below. When you get done fishing on the big rivers you can fish in our creek (catch and release only). There are plenty of things to do within walking distance of the rental as well. The Fish Hatchery, the oh so famous family friendly "M" and drinking horse trailheads are just down the road. A sidewalk will take you from the base of the M trail to downtown Bozeman. You can hike to a children's park or the hip new Cannery District for great food and drinks. The grocery store and our favorite coffee shop are just 2 miles and about 5 minutes by car away. Come stay with us and see all this area has to offer!
