60th birthday celebration with my family
The views are breathtaking! We woke up early everyday, made coffee and took it all in. The location being halfway between Big Sky and Bozeman was perfect. The great room and the master bedroom were most impressive. There were a few minor issues, but management promptly answered and came to the property to resolve them.

Beautiful home, outstanding view
Can I live here please?! We wanted to stay near Bozeman, but not too far, and this was the perfect location for an excellent Montana view. Deer and elk wandered daily, the spotting scope found more, the sound of the river below and the wildflowers blooming made this a relaxing retreat. The house is gorgeous and well laid out with plenty of space for our group of 8. This is the first time I’ve splurged this much on a house rental and it was absolutely worth it. I never wanted to leave!
