The master bathroom has his and hers sinks, a walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and a walk-in closet. Above the garage is a second master suite with a king bed, day bed, and one sleeper sofa that can sleep one person if needed. On the main floor, a half- bath in the hall serves the kitchen and living areas. Up a half a flight of stairs on the other side of the house are two more bedrooms with queen beds. These two bedrooms share a hall bathroom with two sinks and a stall shower. Down a half a flight of stairs is a queen bedroom and a small den/office space. These two rooms share a bath with a vanity sink and a tub / shower. Also on this lower level is a second living room which has a sofa that sleeps and TV.
KITCHEN: This fully- equipped and well-designed kitchen has top of the line stainless steel appliances and amenities, high-end countertops, and custom cabinetry. A "Wolf" six- burner gas range, large side- by- side fridge, microwave, and dishwasher will please the chef in your group as well as the designated clean up crew. There is a nice selection of high- quality cookware and serving ware as well. The cook can chat with the family at the bar, which seats four, and there is a nice large pantry to store the groceries. The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and has a modern dining table with 12 chairs, plenty of space for the entire group.

This fabulous space has an outdoor dining table that seats 6 people, a cushioned seating arrangement, and a hot tub! A nice gas grill allows for meal preparation outdoors, while you enjoy a glass of wine and the comfortable summer evening temperatures of Southwest Montana. The kids will love the playground with its slide, swings, forts and sand box with big tire and toys. The views of the Bridger Mountains across the valley are spectacular too.
AIRPORT: Downtown Bozeman is just six miles and it’s about fourteen miles to Bozeman's airport.
NEARBY ACTIVITIES: Besides hiking and mountain biking on nearby trails in the Leverich Canyon, fishing on the Gallatin River is just thirty minutes away. The stunning Hyalite Reservoir Recreation Area in the Gallatin National Forest is a short drive away. Guests can also spend time skiing at nearby Bridger Bowl, which is about 20 miles from the home. Horseback riding, rafting, golfing, tours of Yellowstone National Park and everything that the town of Bozeman has to offer!
We all really enjoyed our stay. The home was very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked for kitchen utensils. All in all it was great, however, the downstairs heat didn't work as the thermostat was broken nor could we get the gas fireplace to work. Also, the ice maker wasn't hooked up to water apparently as it didn’t make ice. That said the home was really lovely and the view spectacular. We would rent this home again. Ps. the housekeepers could have been a tad better,. We found items under the bed of 1 room & some uncooked spaghetti on the floor under the stove.
Great space for a family of 10! Plenty of space with spectacular views! Our flight was early and we were so happy to get into the property early!! Thank you! We had a family wedding and the ease and location worked out great!! Would recommend for a large group
Property was perfect for our large group. Everyone had a bed and plenty of space to relax.
Well stocked, spacious home for our 2 families. We thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen/dining/living room area that made the perfect hub for activity. Beautiful views of the Bridger Range from front porch and in a nice neighborhood away from town. Only downside is most shopping/conveniences are about 15-20 minutes away. If you plan to ski both Bridger Bowl and Big Sky, this house is ideally located between both resorts.
Great accommodations. Well equipped kitchen. Plenty of room for our large extended family. Beautiful sunsets from the front porch.
Great location. Had a bunch of fun.
Property was fantastic. Two items of feedback. The kitchen faucet was very loose where it attaches to the counter and was difficult to operate. Also, would be nice if a Kuerig machine could be provided as it's much more convenient for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc.
This was a wonderful vacation! There was 13 of us and we all had a blast. We had deer grazing on the lawn almost everyday. That was a treat for the kids ? (and the adults)
We really enjoyed staying at this property. We have skied at Bridger and Big Sky. There is plenty of space and everything seems well organized. The only drawback was the bed over the garage. It squeaks extremely and should be repaired or replaced. Other than that it's a great home for a vacation.
We had 3 families (11 people) in this home while in the area skiing. This house is huge, in a great quiet area 15 minutes from the middle of town. We had more than enough room for everyone, with all the accommodations including hot tub, pool table and a 3 car garage. We will stay here again. Gorgeous!!
