Top Rated Charming MT Cabin w Hot Tub, 10min Dwtn, MSU, 1hr Big Sky/Yellowstone
Wonderful. Charming. Cozy. Hard to leave. These are the words our guests use to describe us. Nestled in the forest just one exit off of Main Street, Bear Creek Log Cabin is truly a hidden gem offering the real Montana experience for those looking for the BEST of ALL worlds: Proximity to town and MSU (10 min), ski resorts (45min), close to Yellowstone and Big Sky, surrounded by nature, wildlife, unpolluted views of the milky way and shooting stars right from the comforts of the hot tub while listening to the relaxing rushing waters of the creek a few steps away. Come unwind in our luxurious cabin. Our guests often extend their stays and wish they could stay longer!
Under new ownership and completely restored, this charming 2 bedroom, 2 full bath, 1500 square foot Rocky Mountain Trapper Style Bear Creek Log Cabin was constructed 30 years ago with lodge pole pine trees harvested from this 10 acre property bordering Bear Creek & State Forest land and with a running creek known to have Brown & Rainbow Trout in the deeper pools. Often you will see moose, white tail deer, elk, and once in a while black bears. They especially like to feast on the berry bushes that are scattered throughout the property. There are also some wild turkeys who love to stop by for a visit as well as chipmunks, squirrels and a variety of birds.
LIVING AREA ~ The living room boasts a vaulted log ceiling with a ceiling fan and remote sure to please all your temperature needs, super comfortable leather sofas you won't want to get up from, and a cozy warm wood stove. Relax after a long day exploring the area hearing the crackling of the wood in the winter months or enjoying the cool breeze with a movie. We've upgraded our internet service to Fiber Optic to bring the latest technology into the wilderness. We have HD TV with DirectTV, Roku with many different channels, DVD/Video Player and the top rated intelligent assistant from Amazon Echo ready to play music of your liking at the command of your voice. Outside the fire pit/grill and campfire seating is ideal for a real 'Western' cookout. Firewood provided. Slate patio dining with 2 patio heaters and a TRAEGER! The IT smoker/grill of anyone looking for top notch BBQ flavors. We want only the best for our guests so are excited for this new addition. Bring your own meats, or better yet, enjoy the catches of your day adventures for supper.
KITCHEN ~ The cabin has a large galley style kitchen with dining room fully stocked with everything you will need and want to prepare even the most elaborate meal. There's a glass cook stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot, Keurig, toaster, wine glasses, and all of the cookware and utensils, dishes & glassware you need sure to please all chefs. You bring your clothing, personal toiletries, and buy your food at a local supermarket, which is a 10 minute drive to downtown Bozeman. The Cabin also has a washer/dryer plus all of the laundry supplies for operation for the convenience of our guests.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS ~ The Cabin has 2 levels with both bedrooms located upstairs and bathrooms, kitchen and living area downstairs. It has comfortable mattresses. The main bedroom has a king bed, the second bedroom has a queen and a full-sized beds. And there is a queen sized pull out sofa in the living room with an upgraded memory foam topper.

WHAT TO DO ~ We have terrific mountain biking, ATV, snowmobiling, horse back riding and hiking opportunities on State Land just under one mile away right off the main road into the cabin. Hyalite Canyon cannot be missed, especially if you enjoy climbing a frozen waterfall in the winter. Summit Sports offers ATV and snow mobiles rentals to our front door when available. Enjoy fishing, white-water rafting, paddle boarding, canoeing, floating the Madison river and all the Gallatin Valley has to offer. Bozeman Smithsonian affiliated Museum of the Rockies boasts T-Rex skeletons and more. Simply a MUST for families with kids. And a short 30 minute drive ends your evening well soaking in your choice of 12 pools at the Bozeman Hot Springs where you can catch live music performances (and food trucks during summers) on Thursday and Sunday evenings. In the summer months, Bozeman parties hard soaking in the warm sunshine to last through winter. The cabin has an exclusive tablet for the use of our guests with all this information, house rules, host recommendations and more.
Bear Creek Log Cabin is a Montana adventure retreat in the forest right outside of Bozeman, MT. Plan a family vacation, romantic couples retreat, campfire memories at a one of a kind property for a unique vacation experience with fly fishing, skiing at Bridger Bowl, Moonlight Basin or Big Sky, visiting Yellowstone or simply visiting friends and family over for MSU graduation.
* Part of the cabin's quaint character is that it sits on a slope. The cabin is structurally stable and full of charm, and guest easily adjust to the slightly slanted foundation.

Stayed here to celebrate a milestone event and it was awesome. Wonderful place with very attentive and engaged hosts. Close to Bozeman but far enough to get away for peaceful rest and privacy. Everything about the stay was 5 star. This is an absolute gem and if we return to the area again we will defstay here if it is availabile.
The Gearys’ cabin is the most delightful, warm and cozy cabin in the woods, Bozeman-style. We highly recommend this cabin for a comfortable, rustic stay along Bear Creek in Bozeman. Close access to hiking and town, with all the cozy amenities at the cabin to experience all that makes Bozeman special. Thank you for a wonderful cabin retreat for our family to enjoy our time together!
We had the most amazing stay. The cabin is exactly as pictured and described. It is charming and exactly what we were looking for. It was clean, welcoming, and fully stocked with anything you could need. You can’t beat the location- you have the mountain feel with being close to town. The hosts were helpful and responsive. I truly felt like we were at our own home, and would recommend it to anyone.
Great peaceful setting for the rustic log cabin! The sound of the creek and cooling off there on hot summer days was refreshing and rejuvenating. We love hiking Montana and found many great new trails near Bozeman, and it was a treat to have a great place to bring our dogs for their first Montana trip!
This was by far the best cabin we’ve ever stayed in! It was equipped with everything we needed to feel at home, and was super convenient to town and beautiful hiking locations! This trip was incredible for my family and especially in part to the lovely cabin. The creek was so peaceful and the hot tub was clean and beautiful. Thank you so very much for sharing this little slice of heaven with us. We definitely hope to be back!
Great rustic cabin with A communication and friendly service by property owners
I stayed with my 3 adult sons for a 4 night fishing trip. The charming rustic cabin was in a great location with a secluded feel and everything we could need. If I come back to the Bozeman area I would definitely look into staying again.
This charming cabin is extremely cozy, 15 minutes away from town, yet segregated enough surrounded by woods, and a stream below that rabbits and deer frequently visit! The hosts have excellent communication, very responsive, and make you feel so welcomed! The cabin itself is spacious and has a ‘zen-like’ design. We roasted marshmallows, hung out in their very clean, hot and sanitary spa. There is lots of seating space on the patio and just the right amount of amenities needed to make your stay comfortable.
Some friends and I were in town to hit the slopes. This cabin was the perfect place for us to come back and relax. The hosts were great! Very helpful and responsive.

Hi Will, thank you for the short, sweet and to the point review! It was a treat to have you and we're so happy to hear the cabin was excellent. Best of wishes and please do come see us again!
GREAT location, wonderful cabin, just what we needed for the week.
The owners were very responsive to our questions, easy to work with and simply great. The cabin leaves you feeling like you have the woods to yourself but is close enough to run to town for ice cream anytime you want. Great hiking/biking trails nearby, well stocked kitchen and a wonderful getaway.

Thank you for the sweet review, Dallas! We feel so grateful and honored to have the opportunity to host families such as yours looking to explore nature, connect and make wonderful, lifetime memories. This makes our hearts twinkle. Especially hearing you found the cabin well suited. Come see us again soon! Hugs.
This was my fifth stay in this cabin. I love how it is situated in the woods in the mountains but close enough to Bozeman for restaurants and groceries. We use it as our base camp for Yellowstone.
This charming cabin is just outside of the town of Bozeman. In the woods and very accessible, the owners were a delight to deal with and answered all of our questions immediately. Would definitely go back!
Conveniently close and easy drive to Bozeman but with that backcountry feel. Liz and Brian are great hosts! We really enjoyed our stay and were so sad to have to leave. Cabin has all the needed ammenities.

About the host
Hosted by Brian and Liz Geary
Fun. Adventurous. Kind-hearted. Those are some words our friends use to describe us. My name is Liz Geary, and I was born and raised in Peru where people treat each other, known and strangers alike, like family. My husband and I recently purchased the Famous 5-star reviewed Bear Creek Log Cabin former VRBO #83858. Our family roots in Montana go way back, and we've loved making this town our home. We are really blessed to live here in Bozeman, and we love making new friends.
Why they chose this property
What we LOVE about this beautiful property is the location while offering a true Montana experience. Our home and this cabin sit on 10 acres of just wilderness with a running creek just out of the cabin's front door. The cabin offers all modern amenities for comfort, including a relaxing hot tub for you to enjoy under the starry sky. Yet still, should you want to take a stroll downtown Bozeman, it's only a 5-10 min drive. Best of both worlds!
