Checking in and out was a breeze! Instructions were perfect. Communications with property manager was great! The house was beautifully situated among the trees with incredible mountain views! The deer were plentiful and seemed so comfortable grazing where we could watch. It snowed the day we arrived and then some more the following day. It was STUNNING and such a treat! Highly recommend this sweet little cottage! Thank you for the cozy place with incredible views to catch up with my girlfriends and enjoy some quality time together!

Winter Paradise

The property was as advertised. Very clean. Very private. Property roads were very well maintained/plowed during snow storms. The gate into the property is a bit temperamental, but once we learned to push # first before entering the code, it opened right away each time. We would definitely stay there again.

THIS!!!

We all absolutely LOVED this cozy cabin. Gorgeous property and views. Fantastic location that is not a far drive from downtown Bozeman and yet gives you the feel of seclusion. I can’t say enough about this place. Love everything about it. This is going to be our “go to” cabin whenever we come back to Bozeman.

Couldn't have dreamed up a better haven for rest and relaxation!

This little home exceeded all of my expectations; From the amenities to the scenery to my interactions with the host. I would literally travel to Montana again just to visit this place. I initially booked a week stay because my husband had a major sugery in the area and would need a place to recover. After having spent the week, we would be delighted to return just to spend more time here. So grateful!

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was perfect for my wife and I! It’s located at the bottom of a mountain on a beautiful piece of land. It’s gated and secured and secluded. There’s a pretty little pond with lots of trout. It’s only about 15 minutes from downtown Bozeman. The beds were very comfortable, the whole cabin was very clean and comforting. We did get to see a couple of deer near the cabin right when we arrived. Wonderful hiking and explore very close. It’s definitely a place we will stay again!

Wildlife Gem!

This is by far our favorite place to stay when we visit Bozeman. The location is very near some great hiking and we love watching the wildlife from the patio. This time we saw dozens of deer daily and two moose visited a couple of times as well. We like to cook and enjoyed making all of our meals in. The kitchen and pantry are nicely stocked. Perfect cabin for our small group!

Wonderful property, wonderful location, wonderful views! We loved our stay! The cabin was very well stocked with necessities and so cute and felt like home. All of the windows left you catch all of the wonderful views and even some wildlife up close! We did day trips to Yellowstone, did the Grizzly Bear Encounter, Fairy Lake and the Bozeman Stampede. A wonderful family trip and we will definitely return.

Need better house cleaners & response time from property mgr

Overall house is nice. A few issues: ants everywhere as a open container of sugar was left in the kitchen cupboard. Cobwebs in every room around ceiling and lights. Dried poop in toilets and the Master bath shower had a slow drain so very slippery and my elderly parents almost fell twice! Place has flashlights but no new batteries so didn’t work. Lastly, this home is in a natural preserve so they had a bag with bear spray in it…unfortunately it was all used up! So, we couldn’t go explore the beauty around us in case we encountered a bear! Most frustrating was the lack of response by the property manager. She never responded to my voicemail. I hope I can get my cleaning deposit back as I cleaned a lot during my “vacation”. I most likely won’t stay here again even though I have family in the area for another 2-3 years.

Incredible location!

The views of the Bridger range and neighborhood deer walking through the yard were a highlight. And being able to walk to Sourdough canyon trail from the house was an added benefit. The house itself is very solid, warm, and cozy. Others have mentioned that there is no TV in the living room but rather in the bedrooms. It was a little strange but we watched less TV, so that was a win. The kitchen has everything you'll need, except Tupperware, so grab some at the store if you need it. Lastly, the master bathroom sink was clogged the whole visit. Not wonderful. The house manager did come by and try to fix it by pouring hot water down the drain, but it didn't fix the problem at all. She came on Thanksgiving, by the way. I didn't want to bother her again so we lived with it. I'd stay here again, the location and neighborhood are away from town but close enough if you want to do a yoga class, hit the restaurants, and shopping. Our favorite dinner place was Stacy's Old Faithful in Gallatin Gateway. The food was incredible and the atmosphere is true Montana.

Highly recommend. Accommodations were great and close to my son's home. Grand kids had a ball catching/releasing trout in the stocked pond. It would have been even better if the 2nd bath were in the upstairs bedroom.
