About this property

Spectacular Large Group Accommodations with 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 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.

Featured as Log Home of the Month by Build Log Homes .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.

Incredible spot for family get-togethers.

This lodge is a fantastic spot to bring your outdoorsy relatives. Even though the weather during our stay was very cold, it was always warm back at the lodge. It’s incredibly spacious and clean, and the proximity to the hot springs is a huge plus! We would absolutely stay here when we visit again.

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.

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.

Best in Bozeman

Stayed at the Lucky Dog Lounge with my family (11) for a winter holiday and could not have been happier. Everyone in the family had their own space when needed and great community space when we wanted to be together. Perfect distance from Bridger Bowl and Big Sky Ski resorts for those of us that went skiing, and everything else in Bozeman is about 15 to 20 minutes away. I could not have been happier with the Lucky Dog Lounge. Thanks to the ownership for sharing!
