About this property

Spectacular Large Group Accommodations with W Gallatin River access!

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.

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 balcony hot tub at sunset.

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

Upstairs, 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, though associates may not want to share beds.

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.

Featured as Log Home of the Month by BuildLogHomes.org, learn to build your own log home!

Includes laundry facilities, coffee makers, linens, cooking tools, and local info on where to buy Montana meat, fresh veggies, hiking, rafting links, and restaurant coupons.

The Lucky Dog Lodge is a licensed tourist home through the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, License #301793.

Great for family reunion

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

Fantastic property for large ski group

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!

Great lodge, Great Service, Location So-So

The lodge is beautiful and nicely laid out and accommodated our large extended family vacation very well. The hot tub was a great added bonus. We saw deer run through the yard. The river is a short distance and you can hear it from the windows. We were hoping to fish there, in fact, that is why we rented it but there was no way we could fish the river from that location. The weeds/grass were up to your waist and the river was not family friendly for fishing. While the pictures do not show it, the neighbors were surprisingly VERY close. We were under the impression it was more secluded. That said, we had an incredible visit. They had lots of games, puzzles etc to keep the kiddos busy and it was lovely that all the spices and condiments were provided so we didn't have to purchase those. And it was great that everyone had their own bed/room as there were 13 of us staying together. It was a little drive to get to places but not terrible. It's about a 30 minute drive to Big Sky. The owners were fantastic and very responsive. If you have a large family or event and do not mind having to drive for fishing or excursions then this place is great to stay.

great place to celebrate graduation

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.

Memorable and beautiful getaway

We will be back again! We are a well-traveled family, due to being in the military. The Lucky Dog Lodge was my absolute favorite place we have ever stayed. Our family had plenty of space and rooms and bathrooms. It seemed like someone put so much thought in things for the kitchen and bathrooms. We cooked there every night and had everything we needed. The LDL was so beautiful that the wedding photographer ended up taking some pictures of the bride inside and out. We hope to bring our entire family back for Christmas at the LDL one year.
