Enjoy comfort in this unique log structure built with ponderosa pine from Montana. Relax to the sounds of the Gallatin River while resting in your log bed from an old Montana ranch. Our pricing varies based on group size, adjusting $20 per additional person per night beyond the base rate.

Great location with plenty of acreage, yard, river walks, and fishing on-site. During spring runoff in May or early June, fishing may be limited, and trails might flood.

Managed by Bozeman Cottage Vacation Rentals, Lucky Dog Lodge is a cost-effective alternative to full-service lodges. Enjoy the privacy and space we offer, with garden views from the upper decks. The owner lives nearby, with no houses between the lodge and river with private property access.

The lodge features a third-floor balcony and massive logs, highlighting Rocky Mountain beauty. The open design and high ceilings with fir tongue-and-groove ceiling and natural light promote a spacious feel. Our 8KW solar array helps keep it green!

Radiant heating and thick log walls maintain year-round comfort. Wood decks from the second and third floors showcase views of the Gallatin River. Relax in log beds from an old ranch or enjoy the 2nd floor balcony hot tub at sunset.

The main floor includes a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, perfect for family games or meetings.

Upstairs on the 2nd and 3rd floors there are 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms for at least 15 guests with various sleeping arrangements including queen beds and twins. The space can accommodate 20 using floor pads for the kids.

Conveniently located 20 minutes from Bozeman Airport and 12 minutes from Montana State University, Bozeman Hot Springs is a short walk away. The small town of Four Corners is 3 minutes away for food and supplies.

Golfing, hiking, rafting, and skiing are within a half-hour drive, and Yellowstone National Park is 1.5 hours south.

    This is a perfect getaway for fishing with a large group. The sleeping accamadations are superb for a large group like an extended family. The kitchen had everything you could need. The bathrooms were well supplied and the showers had good volume and plenty of hot water. The fishing was great.

    Spectacular time had by all! “Best vacation ever!” Was quoted by many in our group, especially the 20 something kids. Everyone was impressed by the structure of the house and big log beams, the three floors allowed for our three families to spread out and give everyone space including the multiple bathrooms, with almost 20 people that was a main reason I booked the house, and it just looked Montana cool. Stayed for five nights, one day at Big Sky where the drive was stunning so the time to get there was enjoyable; then spent two days at Bridger which was great including the multiple places to sit outside and grab food/beers and enjoy the skiers coming down. Hit one day at Yellowstone and saw wildlife galore, lots of pics to be had. It was a full stay of just enjoying skiing and the time together as a large group in the house: sat in multiple groups around the house enjoying time together at the table talking, sitting by the fireplace, singing and dancing throughout the evenings. Highly recommended especially for large groups. Sleeping pads provided extra space for friends who popped in for a night to tag along for the morning ski trips: one day we did manage to get the full house out and on the way to ski by 830 am: plenty is space for all ski gear as well right at the front door so made for easy exodus for the large groups of skis/bags. Thank you to Paul for providing a great ski vacation boding moment for our three families! All will remember forever.

    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

    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 .

    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.

    We had an amazing experience! This property was perfect for our large family to celebrate MSU graduation. The outdoor amenities were perfect and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could possibly imagine needing! The beds were comfy the number of bedrooms was awesome! The bathroom situation on the second floor was a little surprising, but it worked out fine once we got it figured out. Paul was very responsive in communication and great to work with!
