Cowboy Lake is truly one of a kind - rustic and refined log lodge with 4 large bedrooms (sleeping up to 12 people), 5 baths, an entertainment style kitchen and living room, indoor gas fireplace, outdoor patio fireplace, 360 views with PRIVATE pond, walking and biking trails that lead to Chico Hot Springs Resort.

The Lodge sits on a hilltop in a private, gated neighborhood in the heart of Paradise Valley with privacy and views.

The home is an easy 30 minute drive to the NorthEntrance of Yellowstone National Park. You can also fish on the private trout pond within the gated community; go horseback riding, soak in mineral hot springs, or get a massage at Chico Hot Springs, less than 1 mile down the road. This is all done while enjoying the benefits of a PRIVATE vacation rental home that feels like your own private lodge, with 360 degrees of the most drool worthy mountain valley in the country.

Cowboy Lake Lodge is the perfect location for launching day trips to SW Montana rivers, trails and National Parks, family gatherings or a group retreat. Perfectly appointed, the home that comfortably sleeps 12 is 1st class in every way. There isn't an inch of the home that isn't refined, Montana, and luxurious. At Cowboy Lake you could stay at the house and just take in the views, or spend a week exploring the overwhelming amount of recreation opportunities out the back door (literally).

Paved quiet, gated neighborhood is perfect for families who bring bikes with them for kids or adults alike to ride, walk and roam freely and safely. Bring your own fly fishing gear for amazing trout fishing in the lake where you are guaranteed a bite! We do request no bait and catch and release only, please.

    The house was amazing! Views, incredible! The house fit us perfectly for a family of 12 with bedrooms and seating for dinner. The pictures on the website were very true to how it actually looked, and the amenities were spectacular.We could not have picked a more perfect house for our family.

Customer service was immediate and questions were answered by the friendly manager. Our family enjoyed the many windows worth of amazing views, both inside & outdoor fireplaces and patios. The location was perfect for us to attend our reunion in Livingston, multiple visits to Chico Hot Springs and a day in Yellowstone was easily manageable. I would recommend this incredible property to anyone visiting the area.

    What a fantastic time we had!!! Family (2 sets of parents; 6 kids ages 2;4;6; 9;9;11) flew into BZN with brief stop in Livingston for groceries. Grandparents drove in from TX. Property was so spacious with everything we needed and yard games, ping pong, beanbag toss (didn’t get to use propane grill though). The neighbors weee very friendly too!!! Cowboy Lake hikes, fly fishing and swimming for kids (and grandmother), picnic table and sunrise and sunset colors and night stars were wonderful. Nearby Chico hot springs pools/restaurant was so fun in afternoons. Follow Yer Nose BBQ in nearby Emigrant rivals TX BBQ with great music!!! Hostess Deena was so available & patient & great helping us plan the entire trip (including recommending Julie’s wooden boat trip on the Yellowstone River while we were in Paradise Valley & travel suggestions for last 3 nts: Old Faithful Snow Lodge 2 nts; Mammoth Hot Springs lodge last night before family flying out). Bozeman Museum of the Rockies is not to be missed. We hope we can come back some day!!!

    This house was the perfect spot to get away with seven of my best friends for a yoga retreat at Chico Hot Springs. It was spacious with plenty of beds for everyone and has an awesome layout where we could all be together. I would definitely stay here again!

    We had the most wonderful trip to Montana! This house checked all of the boxes for our Christmas family vacation in Paradise Valley. Paradise Valley was beautiful. The two days of snow fall made our mountain hikes a bonus during our trip here. Everything was absolutely perfect at the beautiful mountain home with excellent views! See you again soon!

    I used this property for a staff retreat for our clinic staff. It allowed us to stay together and we were able to utilize the space to stay and learn together. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and dishes we needed for meals. We really enjoyed being close to Chico for the hot springs and a nice dinner.

    From the moment we booked our stay, we knew this house was going to be amazing! When we arrived, the house and view practically brought some of us to tears! The house is updated, clean, organized, and homey. When we had questions, Brooke responded immediately and professionally. All the information you need to know is perfectly written in a binder! The layout and design of the house fit the need of our visitors. We had three adult couples. The fact that each room has their own bathroom was a big bonus for us! The outdoor fireplace gave us space to relax, bond, and see a bunch of shooting stars. If we are to travel to the area again, hands down we would choose this house!

We made so many wonderful cherished memories that we will hold in our hearts forever! I actually booked this property through Key Montana and they were a complete joy to work with and I look forward to working with them in the future! I don’t understand why anyone would book through VRBO or Home Away when you can get such personal and AMAZING service with Brooke and Deena at Key Montana! Thanks again ladies for a job well done!
