Cozy Cabin/House with Private Pond and 7KM of Skiing/Hiking Trails

Experience the quiet solitude of old Montana, yet have easy access to the amenities of a modern resort community.

Nestled in the Gallatin Valley minutes from Big Sky Resort and town center, this well-appointed, 2-bedroom log cabin style home, built in the 1990s, features a full kitchen, full bath and a living/dining room. Yes, there is a queen-size bed in one bedroom, two twin beds in the other bedroom, and one queen-size fold-out sofa in the living room.

But, you will probably want to spend all of your time outside - summer and winter! You will be surrounded by, a private, century-old, 250 acre homestead with miles (7KM) of groomed walking and skiing trails, a private pond for fishing, big Montana skies, and incredible views of the Gallatin Range, Ramshorn Peak and the Porcupine Wilderness Management Area.

The cabin's property provides winter range for elk, moose and deer and a well-marked and a private trail system for summer and winter. In the summer you will hike the trails searching for recently shed antlers and photographing the bird life and wild flowers. The private trout pond is well-stocked for catch and release fishing from the shore, floating dock or provided canoe. Ferry yourself and a friend to the dock in the center of the pond and spend the day lounging. There is a small fire pit on the shore side deck near the pond and a larger open pit fire ring with seating to watch the sunset and moon rise while BBQing on the fire's adjustable cooking grate. Fireside stargazing, away from light pollution, is spectacular!

In the winter, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on the groomed trails, range from beginner to advanced, and are perfect activities for the whole family. The cozy cabin is warm and the kitchen has the tools you need to make a feast.

The private road is plowed but we still recommend 4 WD vehicles from December through March. Our road is not always plowed first thing in the morning so if you are set on getting 'first tracks' up at Big Sky Resort, this may not be the best place for you.

In 2007, a conservation easement was established on the property to protect the undeveloped land surrounding the cabin. This short video describes the family history and the conservation effort: https://youtu.be/j9-eDh5IuBM

30 minutes drive from the cabin to the alpine ski-area complex at Big Sky and Moonlight Basin. 45 minutes by car to Yellowstone National Park. this will be your home base for many adventures.
Other nearby amenities include Lone Mountain Ranch Nordic Resort with 80km of groomed ski trails and 20 km of snowshoe trails and sleigh/hay ride dinners; outstanding restaurants, shops and boutiques; Big Sky Meadow Village 18-hole golf course and trout fishing on the blue ribbon Gallatin River and nearby streams. Tennis is available at the Big Sky Tennis Club and on public courts at Ophir School.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Gallatin National Forest. The cabin includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • The cabin offers a kitchen, a sofa bed and a living room

Absolutely wonderful
It was absoulty perfect. Lisa was a wonderful host and had everything ready when we got there. The property was amazing. Woke up every morning to a beautiful sunrise, sometimes with a herd of elk out on the hill. We got to listen to them bugling the whole time, which was a beautiful experience. Walking the property each morning on the groomed trails With my cofeee, just made my vacation. The pond was awesome to hang out at during the day.the cabin had everything we needed,and was plenty warm. I loved it!

Peaceful delight and one with nature
Our family truly enjoyed our stay in this remote cozy cabin. We took advantage of all the hiking trails, the gorgeous view while sitting around the fire pit and of course we were fortunate to see a bunch of elk in the area. Would highly recommend this property and owners if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway.

Perfect Little Cabin in the Mountains!!
This experience in the winter time was just what we were looking for! Lots of snow, close to Snowmobiling, Excellent Zip Lining and just a short drive to Yellowstone. The Host was the BEST, was available for help with everything and even helping us getting down the snow covered mile long driveway the day we left. A Four-Wheel drive is a must in winter time! We highly recommend this property❤️❤️

A Breath of Fresh Air
We spent 10 days at this charming cabin in the remote area of Big Sky. Yes! There are still some areas where you can enjoy the peace & beauty of Big Sky without the noise of construction, being right next to other people in a condo and find the absence of artificial lights. The natural light of the nighttime stars was amazing! This cabin was the perfect fit for the 2 of us and our daughter & granddaughter. Having said that the absence of cell phone service, using a corded landline phone, putting up with those pesky summertime bugs and adapting to the quirks of an older cabin may not be appealing to everyone. The owner Liesl honestly informed us upon booking that this was not the typical Big Sky rental with new & updated amenities, however, it was clean and provided what we needed to enjoy our time together. As with most Big Sky homes, there’s no A/C, so we opened the windows in the daytime and slightly opened them at night to enjoy the cool mountain air. The screens weren’t a perfect fit so we had to contend with moths attracted to the lights inside at night. What the cabin may have lacked in the “newness” factor, it surpassed in outdoor activity with hiking trails, a pond with a canoe and floating dock for fishing, 2 fire pits and our granddaughters favorite, 2 swings. In addition we had lots of visitors of the wildlife variety - deer, elk, grouse, ducks and Sandhill cranes. The long gravel road to the cabin was a bit intimidating at first but we quickly adapted to navigating it. I’m not so sure I would want to drive it in the winter with snow & ice on the road, but that’s because I’m not accustomed to those conditions living in the southern US. I know this is a lengthy review, but I wanted to provide a picture of what we experienced during our stay in mid August. We would definitely stay here again even knowing that it has what some people would consider annoyances, because in our mind the beauty of the land and spending time with family far outweighs those little things.

Amazing place!
We absolutely loved our week long stay here! We had about 30 elk walk right by the cabin on our second day, with babies in tow. Sighted a fox and a pair of Sandhill Cranes down around the pond. Enjoyed being a kid and swinging on the sturdy swing outside the cabin, saw the Milky Way for the first time in a long time, and enjoyed the many hikes around the whole area. If you have binoculars you can see a herd of a couple hundred elk across the valley from where you sit at the pond, up on the far grassy hilltops. Definitely stock up in Bozeman, as the ski town of Big Sky is expensive. Granny’s Gourmet Doughnuts in Bozeman is a must if you are a donut lover, BTW. The cabin is simple, but we found very comfy and had what we needed. One of our new favorite VRBO’s! So grateful to have the opportunity to have such solitude in nature.

Fantastic
Not much more required than saying it was fantastic. The home was clean and exactly what we wanted and needed for our trip. In addition to the home being great the location and outdoor amenities were also great. From fishing in the pond to hiking around the property on the trails, this property has it all. We were able to see lots of wildlife including elk, wolf, and many birds. We will for sure keep this in mind for future trips.

Fabulous Location and Host !
We stayed for 10 days in Februaary, and could have easily stayed longer. Leisl was an awesome host who responded immediately to any questions we had, and the cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the flannel sheets and fluffy towels, which were better than any hotel. You will need 4WD or all-wheel drive to get there, at least in the winter. It is about a 20 minute drive to Big Sky for alpine skiing, and the property has several kilometers of trails right out the door which we used for XC skiing and snowshoeing. It was an all around lovely stay, and we truly did not want to leave!

Fantastic Quiet, secluded Cabin
What a wonderful find! The cabin is a short drive from Big Sky and very quiet, and secluded. This is exactly what we wanted and needed. We took full advantage off the full size kitchen, eating out only a couple times for our whole week stay. Should have taken advantage of the cross country ski trails but didn’t have time. Did see animal prints and eventually a bunch of elk on the property one morning on our way to Yellowstone. Liesl was easy within reach if needed and the cabin was well stocked. I highly recommend.

My fiancé and I rented the cabin for our engagement honey moon over the holidays. I could not have been more impressed with the property and everything it had to offer. The owners were more than helpful and make us feel like part of the family. I can’t wait to return in summer and again in winter. Best rental and experience I have ever had!

The cabin is quaint and rustic. It has everything you need to get away from from it all. The property is unique. Young kids enjoyed swimming, playing on the shore and fishing the pond. Elk and mule deer were seen early in the morning. Easy access to the Gallatin River and Yellowstone Park. Will need to stay here again!

The cabin and property are amazing. It was so nice to have a peaceful retreat from the world. We enjoyed hiking the property, swimming and canoeing at the pond, and going into Bozeman, Big Sky, and Yellow Stone. The house is up a private road and feels very secluded, yet you are still very close to services. The property managers take pride in their property and were very responsive and welcoming.
