About this property
Your own private Mountain Lodge - Rugged Montana Views With Year Round Access
Cowboy Lake is truly one of a kind - rustic and refined log lodge with 4 large bedrooms (sleeping up to 12 people), 5 baths, an entertainment style kitchen and living room, indoor gas fireplace, outdoor patio fireplace, 360 views with PRIVATE pond, walking and biking trails that lead to Chico Hot Springs Resort.
The Lodge sits on a hilltop in a private, gated neighborhood in the heart of Paradise Valley with privacy and views.
The home is an easy 30 minute drive to the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. You can also fish on the private trout pond within the gated community; go horseback riding, soak in mineral hot springs, or get a massage at Chico Hot Springs, less than 1 mile down the road. This is all done while enjoying the benefits of a PRIVATE vacation rental home that feels like your own private lodge, with 360 degrees of the most drool worthy mountain valley in the country.
Cowboy Lake Lodge is the perfect location for launching day trips to SW Montana rivers, trails and National Parks, family gatherings or a group retreat. Perfectly appointed, the home that comfortably sleeps 12 is 1st class in every way. There isn't an inch of the home that isn't refined, Montana, and luxurious. At Cowboy Lake you could stay at the house and just take in the views, or spend a week exploring the overwhelming amount of recreation opportunities out the back door (literally).
Paved quiet, gated neighborhood is perfect for families who bring bikes with them for kids or adults alike to ride, walk and roam freely and safely. Bring your own fly fishing gear for amazing trout fishing in the "lake" where you are guaranteed a bite! We do request no bait and catch and release only, please.
