Skiing, Zip Lines, Blue Ribbon Fly Fishing on the Gallatin River, hiking trails galore, River Float Trips and horseback riding are all just minutes away.

We enjoy the company of neighbors that are about 300 yards from the house (one of them is a Deputy Sheriff), so we ask that noise be kept to a minimum.

Guests have access to the upstairs living area, the back deck, and the area around the building. The garage is currently being utilized, and will be locked.

We are in a very safe location (both of our neighbors are in the law enforcement community). However, we are in a National Forest so a variety of wildlife are commonly seen in the area and should be respected. Also, please do not start any campfires on the property or dispose of any ash, cigarette butts, or any flammable substances on the property.

You will need a car and in winter we highly recommend 4WD or AWD for driving in the canyon.
