About this property
Family-Friendly 5-Star Riverfront Home
Privacy meets proximity with our “Little Big Sky" Guest home that's perfect for families and groups of many sizes. Our log-style home sits on 6 private riverfront acres with a raw stone outdoor fire pit, surrounded by 360-degree views of the Spanish Peak mountain range in the beautiful resort of Big Sky, Montana. Our 4BR, 3BA modernized cabin-style home sits just 75 ft above the Gallatin River (west fork) with a short hike down to the river's edge. The property offers a private, peaceful setting with an expansive yard and large bin packed with family-friendly games. Our home feels private, it sits in close proximity to Big Sky attractions and activities including horseback, skiing, fly fishing, hiking, golf, shopping, whitewater rafting and more.
The house is located just 2 miles from the main Town Center and the ski slopes are only an 8-mile drive. The west entrance to Yellowstone Park is only a 50-minute drive.
The property features river access, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, a newly renovated fully-equipped kitchen, a 7-person hot tub, a vast open yard and acres of sage and pine trees. The cabin sleeps 8 adults (4 queen beds) and 2 children (1 stacked bunk bed).
This is a rare property in that it includes 1200 feet of private fishable river frontage on the West Fork of the Gallatin River. The property is only two miles from the fabled main Gallatin River (featured in 'A River Runs Through It') for fly fishing, hiking and Class 3 whitewater rafting. Activities include blue ribbon fly-fishing, whitewater rafting on the Gallatin, scenic gondola ride to top of Lone Peak, biking, hiking, nearby playgrounds and parks, float tubing the Madison River, golf, horseback and zip lining. Winter activities: skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country and sleigh rides. The new BASE Recreation Center is open year-round and offers day passes for workouts, rock wall climbing, yoga and spin classes and art activities, all just two miles from the cabin.
Our home is cozy, comfortable and well-equipped, and we have many families stay with us. We welcome you to join the many other guests that have made Little Big Sky their destination for vacations in all seasons.
Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Paul Brourman
What began as a father-son fishing trip in 1988 to Big Sky soon became a family tradition for over 35 years. In 1998, we finally found a perfect spot on the west fork of the Gallatin River in the heart of Big Sky to make our vacation home. In 2005, the home was fully renovated top to bottom.
We love sharing this secluded slice of Big Sky with our guests and hope you make many new memories here with family and friends just as we have over the years.
The Little Big Sky Cabin is near to our hearts as we celebrate our third decade of visiting Big Sky as an extended family. We pride ourselves in our vacation home and are looking for caring, responsible families or groups that will treat it as a special place of their own. We have had many families and groups of friends enjoy our property over the years and each has left a special note in our guest book.
We love that Little Big Sky offers both the ability escape in the tranquil setting by the river, or to dive into everything Big Sky has to offer within a short drive. Whichever you choose (hint: do both!), we wish you a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property
'Little Big Sky' gave our family the piece of Montana we always desired to bring us back to our roots in the west.
What makes this property unique
The cabin and setting are exceptional. You are literally surrounded by stunning mountain views and the sound of the river flowing near the house just adds to the ambiance of the location. Sitting on the large front deck, the riverside patio chair, or stargazing at nights are just a few relaxing activities we enjoy.
