The Bunkhouse stands alone above a garage and is outfitted with high-end furniture and has a higher end modern interior feel.

The Gallatin Canyon is considered one of the most scenic areas in Montana, full of wildlife and adventure.

The view from the living room window is of the dramatic cliffs of Storm Castle and the Gallatin River, a location that was featured in the movie, "A River Runs Through It".

The home is ideally located about mid-way between Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana. Enjoy exploring Bozeman, Big Sky, Yellowstone, or just take a relaxing hike right out the back door! A 5-minute drive north gets you to Spanish Creek which has a public access road that drives through part of Ted Turner's Flying D Ranch which has the nation's largest free roaming buffalo herds along with numerous other wildlife. Or, if you are more adventurous, three of the Canyon's top hikes (Storm Castle, Lava Lake, and Hell Roaring Creek) are within 5 minutes of the house!

We enjoy the company of neighbors that are about 300 yards from the house (one of them is a Deputy Sheriff), so we ask that noise be kept to a minimum.
