The structure is amazing -- the massive logs used in construction and the skill in creating this four story (including basement), 6-bedroom blew us away. The owners and managers are terrific. The grounds large and the walk to the beautiful river is short. And the first floor living space -- great room and kitchen -- are terrific. We're all hoping for a repeat engagement.....bob
My group loved the Lucky Dog Lodge. Plenty of room and bathrooms for a large group. Great location. Beautiful views and we got lucky with some amazing sunsets that you can watch from the hot tub. I cannot wait to come back!

Incredible spot for family get-togethers.
This lodge is a fantastic spot to bring your outdoorsy relatives. Even though the weather during our stay was very cold, it was always warm back at the lodge. It’s incredibly spacious and clean, and the proximity to the hot springs is a huge plus! We would absolutely stay here when we visit again.
Beautiful house & property. Large home made it easy for the whole extended family to gather. Well stocked kitchen, convenient location, easy checkin and out process. Highly recommend thia house!
Everyone loved the Lucky Dog Lodge . We had several gatherings in the back and long dinner conversations in the family room . The bedrooms and bathrooms accommodated guests coming and going to different activities . The location in the neighborhood provided a warm atmosphere and there was easy access to town or roads to hiking and fishing adventures . Property owners amazing people living nearby .
My family had a great time. The lodge is spacious and enjoyable.
If you are looking for a quiet place and an enjoyable home we nailed it. My grandsons thought it was fantastic.
Very clean, large space, instructions were clear from the owner. He even came out to help us when we had an issue with the lock which was resolved very quickly. Would stay there again.
Our group of 7 avid skiers loved Luck Dog as our home base for 4 terrific days of skiing in Big Sky. The log cabin is spacious, clean, and well appointed for a large ski group. Staying in Bozeman is a far more economical option than Big Sky, and the 1 hour drive to Big Sky is easy and beautiful through the Gallatin River valley. Property management is fast to respond and very thorough.
Best set up for our 3 daughters and ourselves to celebrate a wedding. Great property and every amenity you could imagine. Loved the large backyard, beautiful decks, and well stocked kitchen!
We really enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Lucky Dog log home! It was well supplied with all the essentials and a lot of extras! The house was in a great location and the hot tub was a hit for our teenagers! Our family all expressed how it was the most well stocked place we have experienced to date.
Was a great central location for skiing, Bozeman, and to just hang out!
Enough space where everyone in our family had a bedroom and bath. Well equipped and just a great place to stay. Quick response to any questions. Would stay there again
My family and I gathered to celebrate my nephew’s graduation from MSU. We had an absolute blast. The large accommodations allowed for many family fun activities. The location is absolutely perfect. The river was such a treat and scenery was lovely. Thank you for allowing us to make so many amazing memories!
We had a wonderful family vacation stay at Lucky Dog Lodge. The house had plenty of room for eight adults and five children. The property manager was helpful and responsive to our questions. The children loved playing in the Gallatin River. This is a lovely home for a large group that offers easy access to Yellowstone and other activities in the Bozeman area.
This is an amazing property! The house is huge and has so much character, with plenty of large bedrooms for our family and friends. Kitchen has everything we needed, with a wonderful rustic dining table that accommodated our large group! LOTS of bathrooms so no waiting :-) Big yard, nice back deck, short walk to the river. We loved it and would definitely recommend it!
Lucky Dog Lodge was a fantastic choice for us to stay while we celebrated our son's graduation from MSU. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was great for making big breakfasts. The only issue we had was there were no bedrooms on the first floor although we did know about this ahead of time.
We traveled from Delaware, MD, and Florida for our daughter's wedding. It was the perfect location. Everything was perfect in the cabin as well. We could not have chosen a better place. Thank You
Stayed at the Lucky Dog Lounge with my family (11) for a winter holiday and could not have been happier. Everyone in the family had their own space when needed and great community space when we wanted to be together. Perfect distance from Bridger Bowl and Big Sky Ski resorts for those of us that went skiing, and everything else in Bozeman is about 15 to 20 minutes away. I could not have been happier with the Lucky Dog Lounge. Thanks to the ownership for sharing!
Driving through the neighborhood I would not have expected this place to be so wonderful, but don’t let that fool you! The house and property are wonderful. Very roomy and fits 20 people comfortably, although beds for only 16. The little path down to the river was such a surprise! Great for fishing and swimming, or just relaxing! Such a beautiful view! We had such a great family reunion in this house!
