Located in the heart of Little Bear with forest access minutes away, this 2-bedroom 2-bathroom and full kitchen home is a quick drive to the best vacationing spots in the area: 25 minutes to downtown Bozeman, 45 minutes to Big Sky, 50 minutes to Bridger Ski Resort, and 90 minutes to the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. This modern mountain retreat is a perfect homebase for family adventures and meandering girls’ trips, wild west expeditions for the fellas, or a refuge spot for respite and rejuvenation. With mountain views literally surrounding the property, it is a perfect location to access adventures and activities like world-renown fly fishing, skiing, hunting, hiking, white water rafting, and so much more.

Step inside this thoughtfully designed home with an open concept living space and spacious slider doors boasting an amazing view. The fully equipped kitchen comes with stainless steel countertops and appliances, and a uniquely custom-made island, an ideal flow for slow mornings, and evenings spent together. High vaulted ceilings and large windows provide a flow of natural light to capture the views. Open dining spaces allow for flexibility and ease, and the large TV and electric fireplace add ambiance and convenience. You’ll experience true mountain vibes while sipping on a cup of coffee or sharing stories from the day. 

This home is appropriately designed, keeping space and warmth in mind to make every guest feel comfortable. There are two spacious bedrooms, each with comfortable queen beds to create the perfect retreat to wind down. Both bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms with showers. One of the bathrooms shares a door with the living space offering privacy and convenience. A high loft with library ladder features a soft twin bed- a great space for an older child or adult to find their perfect hideout (the ladder/loft is not safe or recommended for small children).

The usable living space extends outside to the patio where you will be swept away by mountain majesty. Accommodating a chat set and grill, you can soak in the fresh mountain air and views in the private hot tub. Share a glass of wine and experience Montana’s expansive sky, where star-filled nights create a truly unforgettable setting. Whether you’re savoring your morning coffee or unwinding after a day of exploring, the peaceful surroundings make every moment feel special. 

Nestled in the hills of Gallatin Gateway and offering a peaceful Montana escape, you’re only a 5-minute drive to the Little Bear National Forest where you can find hiking trails, jeep and ATV trails, breathtaking views, and hunting access. Only 20 minutes up the glorious canyon on highway 191 is Lava Lake, quite possibly the most beautiful hike in America. Also very close is the historical small town of Gallatin Gateway, home to Stacey’s Bar and Steakhouse- a must when you are here for a visit. This small town is positioned directly in Montana's Gallatin River Valley, offering something special for every visitor and local alike.
