The high-top kitchen table has seating for six, and a child's booster seat (that may be strapped onto a chair) is provided.

LIVING ROOM:
The living room has large windows that face west to take in views of beautiful sunsets, the large yard and pond, and the wildlife that regularly makes its way through the property. Leather arm chairs & sofa provide seating, and a gas fireplace warms the cool evenings (there is an AC to cool the summer days). There is a large flat screen TV with Roku.

Games, toys, cards, books, and binoculars are also provided.

The deck has an oversized gas BBQ, and there are two full-sized picnic tables on the lawn with a shade umbrella a few steps from the grill.

We welcome and encourage guests to take the short walk (approximately 200 yards) down to the Gallatin River to enjoy the scenery or to cast a line (catch & release fly fishing only, please).

This is our second year staying at this property and we are already talking about returning next year. It is cozy, welcoming and comfortable. Close to all of the great Bozeman restaurants and assessable to fly fishing.

Great get away rental!

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a location that was secluded and quiet, this rental nailed it. The cabin was clean and well maintained, and the surrounding property was absolutely beautiful! The amenities were outstanding and the layout was perfect for walks down to the river. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. We had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this rental!

Perfect Place for Us

No issues or concerns to report. Had an amazing time with 3 college buddies who love to fly fish like me, yet located in different states. Figured we’d do our annual trip to the fishing capital. The Gallatin access was most notable for us…far enough from bridge access that we didn’t run into others, and fishing was great! Cabin was perfect. Loved the gift from the chickens😊. Beds were too comfy…nobody wanted to get up early. Used the grill every night. Had all the kitchen stuff we needed. Property owner was responsive and accommodating. All perfect. Will be booking again in the future.

Hope to stay again

My husband, 24 year old daughter and I joined my son (a Bozeman resident) for a trip before Thanksgiving, We had a great time fly fishing, going into Bozeman and just hanging out watching movies. Location and set up of the house/fishing cabin were perfect. Hope to do this next year.

Great Vacation

We had a great 10 day stay. Cabin was very well equipped and conveniently located but still off the beaten path. Loved having the small warming cabin down by the Gallatin and the fire pit. Having private fishing waters was also a definite plus.

50th Birthday Girls Trip

The home was very clean and had most of the amenities listed (pack your body wash, conditioner). Only downside for our group is the photos from the website are misleading. The cabin looks to be all on its own with nothing around it; however, the lodge is literally 20 feet from the front porch. Not a huge deal for us but we thought we were a bit further away. Did not deter us from enjoying our stay.

what you see on line is not what you received

The "cabin" which is pictured was probably taken right after it was built. It is literally located in the back yard of their house. Their house which they call a lodge is not a "lodge". it is a HOUSE. Their website says it is open 24 a hours a day. It was rarely open. Could not reach owners. I would probably give it a 3 star, but so much of what they described on line was not true we gave it a 2 star. Could say a lot more, but what is the point.

Wedding Weekend

We had a great stay at the Gallatin River Fly Fishing Cabin. At first we were a little concerned because the cabin is a lot closer to the lodge than photos reveal and it was less remote than we had anticipated. However the cabin was immaculate and very well appointed with a lot more ammenities then expected. The owner was very responsive to any questions and was very flexible and accomodating. We were in town for a wedding and we recommended the property to many families due to its great location and overall comfort. I would certainly stay again and appreciate the hospitality from the owner. Thanks again!

Why they chose this property

We (and you!) get the best of both worlds - convenient access to all of the fantastic things the college town of Bozeman affords (wonderful restaurants, breweries/distilleries, locally-owned shops & galleries, university happenings, cultural events) AND the relaxing experience of staying on spacious acreage surrounded by nature and the free-flowing Gallatin River.
