Getting here & arrival notes

Driving highlights (details provided before arrival):

Be alert for a quick left turn immediately after the Grizzly Bear Experience sign

⚠️ Railroad crossing warning:
Shortly after the turn, you’ll cross an active single-lane railroad crossing on an uphill grade. There are no lights or arms and limited visibility—please proceed slowly and yield to oncoming traffic.

⚠️ Life at Elevation: What to Expect at a Mountain Property⚠️

This home sits at true mountain elevation, off the grid of municipal water and services. Like many rural Montana properties, it relies on a private well -- which means water conservation is part of being a good guest here.

Water usage runs fine for normal stays -- showers, cooking, dishes, laundry. Where we ask for mindfulness is in high-volume situations. We drain and clean the hot tub between guests, and occasionally this process spans two visits rather than happening all at once. In rare cases with back-to-back bookings, hot tub maintenance may occur during your stay.

This home is nestled into the hillside with a couple of neighbors tucked into the slope above. It is private and peaceful. A pair of deer call this property home and are a regular part of the landscape. Wildlife is present throughout the area, weather and road conditions can change quickly (see winter requirements above), and sounds like rutting elk and distant gunshots from hunting, target shooting, or agricultural use are common in rural Montana.

If this feels like a lot to navigate, we also manage a collection of in-town properties that might be a better fit -- just reach out and we`ll point you in the right direction.

We have 2 portable AC for the guest to use - one in living room and one in master bedroom


Neighborhood

The home is located in a peaceful mountain setting near the Grizzly Bear Experience, offering serenity, scenery, and a true Montana feel. While there are two neighbors visible from the home, the large lots and undulating landscape provide privacy. Enjoy quiet surroundings, wildlife sightings, and easy access to outdoor recreation while still being within driving distance of Bozeman’s dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.

No smoking anywhere on the property. No parties or events - please respect the maximum occupancy of 8 guests. Pets are allowed with a pet fee - please let us know in advance. Quiet hours: please keep noise down after 10:00 pm as a courtesy to neighbors. If something breaks or is damaged during your stay, please notify us so we can arrange a repair for the next guest.

IMPORTANT - WATER & CISTERN SYSTEM: This property runs on a private well and cistern, not city water, so the water supply is limited. Please be mindful of usage - avoid running showers, laundry, and dishes all at once. If the water shuts off, the cistern is low and the safety switch has activated - stop using water immediately and give it about an hour to refill. Contact us if it hasn`t recovered after that. This protects the well pump from damage.

WINTER DRIVING: This property is at higher elevation and gets more snow than town. An AWD or 4WD vehicle with snow tires is required in winter, and mountain driving experience is recommended.
