About this property

Pre-Season Discount on Winter Wonderland Cabin

Experience the enchantment of winter at our vintage cabin retreat. Wake up to deer nestled in pristine snow; snowmobile, snowshoe, go dog-sledding or cross-county ski. Finish the day with a romantic sleigh ride dinner, gourmet dining in the village, or stay in & cook, and roast marshmallows by the crackling fire.
30 minutes from Yellowstone National Park, for unforgettable winter excursions.
The largest ski area in the US is minutes away with virtually no lift lines. Reduced from 825 to 695.

Cabin is appointed with vintage works of art, hand hooked and oriental rugs, Ralph Lauren fabrics, highest quality wood frame windows and French doors. The center piece of the great room is a spectacular native Montana stone fireplace.

The property is adjacent to the Gallatin National Forest and is eco-friendly, home to native grasses, plants and trees, rather than a traditional lawn that would require pesticides and herbicides that would drain into the river.

Guests may access two lovely decks, one right off the kitchen that is perfect for grilling steaks on an outdoor gas grill, and another deck which overlooks the rushing waters of the Gallatin River. There is also a private deck, Adirondack chairs on the lawn and a dinner area just outside the front door on the Gallatin River.

Big Sky transforms into a winter wonderland and our cabin is your perfect home base for snowy adventures and cozy relaxation.

Winter Activities

- **Skiing & Snowboarding**: Big Sky Resort features an unmatched 5,800 acres of skiable terrain for every skill level, with breathtaking views and minimal lift lines—earning its title as “The Biggest Skiing in America”.
- **Dog Sledding**: Join local outfitters for an exhilarating ride powered by huskies, as you glide quietly through Montana’s snow-draped forests and meadows.
- **Snowmobiling**: Discover the rugged wilderness of the Gallatin National Forest on a snowmobile. Guided tours reveal hidden winter vistas and untouched paths.
- **Cross-Country Skiing**: Explore over 85 km of groomed trails at Lone Mountain Ranch, enjoying the peaceful side of winter while working up a healthy glow.
- **Sleigh Rides**: Cozy up for memorable horse-drawn sleigh rides under Montana’s star-filled sky—perfect for romance or family fun.
- **Winter Fly Fishing**: Brave anglers can try their luck on the Gallatin River, with winter fly fishing offering a unique and tranquil experience even in the colder months.
- **Visiting Yellowstone**: In winter, Yellowstone National Park is a wonderland of steaming geysers, wildlife, and snow-capped scenery. Take a guided snowcoach or snowmobile tour for an unforgettable adventure just 30 minutes away.

After exhilarating days, return to your cabin for cocoa by the fire or marshmallows under the stars. Two accessible parking spaces make arrival a breeze, while your privacy is ensured as personal belongings remain secured in the garage.

### Summer Adventures

As the snow melts, Big Sky reveals a summer playground for **adventure seekers and nature lovers**. The vibrant atmosphere is perfect for mountain biking on over 50 miles of trails, hiking to breathtaking destinations like Ousel Falls or Beehive Basin, and ziplining through the mountain canopy.

For relaxation, enjoy paddleboarding or kayaking at Lake Levinsky, or discover local culture at the Big Sky Farmers Market, live music events, and the annual rodeo. Try golf on the picturesque Arnold Palmer-designed course, fish blue-ribbon trout streams, or embark on a whitewater rafting trip down the Gallatin River’s sparkling waters.

Yellowstone National Park is only a short drive away for unforgettable summer day trips among its geothermal wonders and abundant wildlife.

With so much to enjoy every season, our cabin offers unmatched access to the best of Big Sky’s outdoor adventures and peaceful riverside relaxation, making it an ideal destination for your next Montana escape.

Great location on the river. My kids ages 5 7 and 9 loved playing around the property and river. Hikes were right outside the house were amazing. House was cozy and had all we needed with comfy beds. Easy access to big sky and everything around the area. Short drive to lots of options.

We had a wonderful stay at this delightful home on the Gallatin River. The location couldn't be better - just steps from the water with easy river access and beautiful views. The house itself has tremendous charm and character that made our Montana getaway feel truly special.Everything was thoughtfully appointed for a comfortable stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable after long days exploring, and we were pleasantly surprised by the well-equipped kitchen featuring quality essentials like properly sharp knives - a detail many vacation rentals overlook but that made meal preparation a pleasure.The combination of prime riverside location, authentic Montana character, and attention to comfort details made this a memorable stay. We'd definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine river house experience in this beautiful part of Montana.Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone wanting to unwind by the Gallatin River!

What an extra special place to unwind from this crazy world! So secluded, yet only a 3 minute walk to the five star restaurant in the Rainbow Ranch Lodge and fantastic local beer and burger joint right across the street , the Corral! Every day we were there, the Riverhouse BBQ restaurant, a mile or two down the road, had live entertainment beginning at 5:00 pm! Fun happy hour in the mountains! This cabin offers everything you would ever want! 45 minutes away from West Yellowstone entrance and 10 minutes away from the ski slopes! We had a wonderful crackling fire every night and fished for trout right outside of the cabin! Jane, the host and local property manager Katie were so very pleasant, kind, informative and helpful! We most definitely will be returning! Thank you Jane for sharing this little bit of Heaven with us!!

Ideal Hideaway

My wife and I spent 10 days over Thanksgiving at this perfect cabin in the woods with our adult children joining us on the tail end. The setting is spectacular - right on the Gallatin River - very private, but minutes from hiking, groceries, restaurants and all that Big Sky has to offer. The cabin itself is incredibly charming with the convenience and comfort of modern amenities and construction, but the look and feel of an old log cabin. Beds, furnishing, artwork, fireplace, vibe - all of it was perfect.

Pure Bliss

We came to BIg Sky for the “Wildlands Music Festival “ but the icing on the cake was this cabin.It was located on the Gallatin River.Everyday we sat by the river and just took in the beauty and peace.Our adult children met up with us.Four of us.The space was perfect.Two in the downstairs king size bed and two of us in the upstairs king size bed.We would leave the balcony door open(weather permitting) so we could hear the river.The art work in this cabin is absolutely stunning.The appliances are all new and high end.The lights can be changed as the day gets darker and is definitely mood enhancing.We sure played with them.The deep bathtub is great for soaking.One night we cooked steaks out on the grill ,which is new as we wanted to just soak up the beauty of the cabin.Jane is very quick to respond and gave us wonderful tips for the area.If there was more than ten stars I would definitely give the highest rating I could.Terri Piel

Perfection in a winter wonderland

Wow…. What an amazing place to visit! This Florida crew got their winter wonderland along with the privilege of staying the most cozy delightful cabin that met our needs wonderfully! Our host, Jane, was by far, the best host I have ever dealt with. She was beyond informative of the cabin and exactly what we needed to know and responded so quickly! The cabin was very clean and the beds were amazing! The fireplace was our favorite. We can’t wait to come back in the summer to see a whole different kind of beautiful! Thank you, Jane!

Riverfront Cabin

Lovely retreat by the river just outside Big Sky. Beautiful cabin with excellent beds and mountain cabin feel. The chairs by the river were perfect for a glass of wine and a good book. My husband walked from the cabin to the Gallatin and caught fish several days. Hiking in the mountains, exploring Big Sky and Yellowstone were highlights of our superb Montana vacation!

Comfy cabin

The view is amazing, looking (and listening) to the river. Location was perfect. Loved all the vintage artwork and southwestern pottery. The rustic furniture and cabinetry made you feel like you were in the ol’ Wild West. It was the perfect place to unwind after our busy days traveling to the National parks and seeing the beautiful hills and mountains on an incredible trail ride.

Snowfall Sanctuary

We had a wonderful stay at this property! It offered the perfect balance of seclusion while still being conveniently close to town. The home had a warm, inviting feel, more like staying at a friend’s house than a typical rental property. We also felt very safe throughout our stay.The house was well-maintained with great attention to detail, making it easy to settle in. Getting in and out was a breeze, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful.A couple of things to note: Parking was a bit tricky in the slick snow, so be prepared for that if visiting in the winter. Also, the stairs right off the main living area made us a little nervous with our running toddler.Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone! It was truly a magical winter wonderland in February and was the perfect place to get away, relax, and enjoy the beauty of nature!

Royal River Retreat

We stayed only 3 nights at this lovely home and felt that it was not enough. It was so nice to have the river so close by. You can hear the river from the home. It made for such a peaceful and relaxing experience. The home itself had all the amenities that one would need. They even provided bear spray for the walks which was so appreciated. There was also some personal artwork in the bathroom that I found very charming. There was also access to YouTube which was a huge plus. This place just felt like home to us and we loved the warmth of the place and the location. The temperatures were perfect, mostly in the 60s and 70s. At night, it got close to 35 degrees. But it was all so comfortable and the beds provided us with a great night sleep each night. We visited Big Sky and checked out the local eateries. We also enjoyed ice cream at Scoops. We did a few outdoor activities. We visited Ousel Falls Trail and did Lemondrop Mountain. It was so much fun to get to see the beautiful mountains and the waterfalls. We had a wonderful dinner in Gallatin at the Riverhouse near where the home was. They served a huge sampling of BBQ (fried chicken, brisket, sausage, pulled pork and ribs) along with cole slaw, beans, corn and cornbread. It was all so delicious. We would definitely stay at this house again as the location was perfect with nature all around and towns close by if that is important to you. Don't hesitate to book this home. It's a perfect choice.

Warm and comfortable home

My family of four had a great time at the Cabin. There are a couple of trail heads with stunning hikes at walking distance, and a gorgeous river across the gravel road. The setting could not be any better. Unexpectedly, there was a basket of goodies- including good coffee waiting for us, and the fire place was all set just to be lit. Everything was just as described and communication was great. The furnishings made you feel right at home- unlike many VRBO's that feel mass produced. With all the fees we spent more that we normally do per night, but for us, it was totally worth it. We made use of the washer/dryer (detergent available), bear spray for the hikes, plush towels, plenty of cooking supplies and outdoor grill.... They have thought of everything to make sure time there feels like a vacation. As an FYI, the third bedroom is very small (fine for my teenage son).

I'm a television journalist/ lifestyle show host in Dallas Texas and fell in love with the magic of Montana.

Why they chose this property

The lane the cabin sits on is so special, secluded and quiet, coveted riverfront property, just minutes from restaurants, shops and skiing in winter.

What makes this property unique

It's rare to find a "cabin in the woods" that has 150ft of riverfront, minutes from restaurants and shopping. I love sharing this special place with guests!
