Our stay at little bear was fantastic. The lodge is located in a place that was situated close enough to Bozeman and Yellowstone, which were 2 places on our bucket list. Melissa was great to work with and stayed in contact with us the entire time to make sure our stay lived up to expectations.

Montana Beauty

Montana offered so much and with this awesome residence to stay and relax at was an additional benefit. From the house we saw some awesome sunsets, herds of farm raised bison, herds of farm raised cows, and many birds! Located between Big Sky and Bozeman with a short skip to Yellowstone!
