The cabin's unbeatable location offers a quintessential spot for a large group fly fishing, skiing, hiking, golf, river rafting, or just a girl's weekend away.

We enjoyed are stay on many levels. Great house, great location. Easy access to the town of Big Sky, ski resort area a little further. Location next to the Gallatin River was admired and enjoyed by all of our guests. Beautiful views. Corresponding with owner prior to check-in went well, very responsive. We did not need to interact with the management company - no problems to report. Kitchen had plenty of cooking amenities and supplies. Lower level had two bedrooms, one full bathroom, but those who stayed on the lower level also used the upstairs bathroom, so was not a problem for us. We were able to use this Cabin as home base to explore Yellowstone (West Entrance), fly fishing, golf near Big Sky, the town of Big Sky, and the ski resort area. Plenty of restaurants and hiking opportunities within those areas. We ended up with 8 very satisfied Cabin guests.

Perfect Escape

This place was perfect. Beautiful views, beautiful cabin, close proximity to Big Sky and everything we needed to have a good time in one central place. We had a bunch of ideas planned to spends some time out in Big Sky and ended up spending all our time off the slopes at the cabin, no complaints. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cabin with us!

Fly angler's paradise

My father, two fishing buddies, and I had a fishing trip of a lifetime in Montana. The cornerstone of our trip was this wonderful cabin. The location is perfect. Incredible fishing is just steps away on the Gallatin river. The Madison and Yellowstone rivers, as well as Yellowstone National Park are easy drives away. I would like to thank the owner owner for opening up her beautiful vacation home to us!

Fabulous location and home

Beautiful home on Gallitin River/ easy river access. Communication with owner was excellent; she provided many helpful hints of things to do. Blue Moon Bakery pizza and Lotus were excellent restaurants. Kitchen small but well stocked with gorgeous river views. Bedrooms small but clean and comfortable. Loft AC kept room comfortable. No window shades to east so children awoke early. Good access to Big Sky (10 minutes) and Yellowstone (50 minutes to entrance). Would definitely return!

Ski Big Sky and stay in style

This property was a great fit for our group of five guys looking for a convenient and affordable place to stay during our ski week at Big Sky. The views of the Gallatin River are unmatched. Bring your binoculars. We were able to see elk, moose, big horn sheep, and even a wolf during our stay. The five bedrooms and four bathrooms were a great fit and everyone in our party had plenty of private space while still being able to gather comfortably in the living room and kitchen for meals. The property was well stocked, clean, and well located. Vivian, our host, was super easy to work with and very responsive when we had questions. She was also helpful in guiding us to ski rentals, restaurants, and a grocery store. As a ski group we are already planning a return visit to Big Sky and individually a few members of our party are contemplating a return visit to this property to enjoy hiking in the Gallatin Valley and Yellowstone during the summer.

Perfect Ski Getaway

This place was perfect for our ski trip with 12 adults. The size allowed for us all to gather together when we wanted and also have our own space if needed. We used the hot tub almost every night, and I cannot possibly describe the beauty of the clear Montana sky from that hot tub. Overall, the place was just as advertised with incredible views, comfy beds, a well stocked kitchen, and even a surprise delivery of fresh firewood after the first few nights. The property manager was responsive to any and all communication throughout the week. The only thing to note is that cell service in the area is basically nonexistent (at least for Verizon) so I highly recommend you make sure you have your check-in code for the house before you get to the front door. That said, the Wi-Fi was strong enough to support 12+ devices throughout the week. I would definitely stay here again!

A Perfect Getaway!

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the cabin for 8 incredible days, and I can’t recommend this place highly enough. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this home was designed with guests’ comfort and enjoyment in mind. This cabin style home is perfectly situated, offering a serene escape while still being conveniently close to local attractions. Whether we wanted to explore Yellowstone National Park or enjoy a day at the river, everything was within easy reach. The neighborhood itself is peaceful and charming, making it a fantastic spot for relaxation. Besides the sliding door that didn't lock, the home was spotless and beautifully maintained (they had a bar to keep the sliding door locked). Each bedroom was thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, and provided ample privacy. Amenities: This home truly had it all. The kitchen was fully equipped with high-quality appliances and all the cookware we needed to prepare meals, making it easy to enjoy home-cooked dinners. The living area featured a large, flat-screen TV with a great selection of streaming options, perfect for family movie nights. The outdoor space was a highlight, with a lovely patio area and a working hot tub. We loved sitting in the hot tub and enjoying the scenic mountain backyard view.

Fantastic family trip to Big Sky

The house is conveniently located near everything that you want to check out: Yellowstone, Madison River, Big Sky, Bozeman, etc. Bonus is that you are on the Gallatin River which makes for a very relaxing setting. Not that you want to speed too much time in the cabin, but the cabin is very comfortable and provides all of the amenities needed. This cabin is especially good for families with children as there are plenty of board games and entertainment areas for the kids to unwind after the days activities. Would highly recommend it for families or just a group of friends. Looking forward to coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Vivian

Host profile image
We are a California beach family with roots in Wyoming and Texas.

Why they chose this property

Our family vacationed in this cabin for over a week and fell in love with just about everything Montana offers. We frequent the Colorado, Utah, and California slopes, but nothing compares to Big Sky's powder. Summer vacations in Hawaii and the Carribean now pale in comparison to the peacefulness of fly fishing on the Gallatin and Madison Rivers.

What makes this property unique

Riverfront cabin with blue ribbon trout fishing steps outside the backdoor. The minute you walk into the cabin, the river murmur will beckon you.
