Top Rated Charming MT Cabin w Hot Tub, 10min Dwtn, MSU, 1hr Big Sky/Yellowstone

Wonderful. Charming. Cozy. Hard to leave. These are the words our guests use to describe us. Nestled in the forest just one exit off of Main Street, Bear Creek Log Cabin is truly a hidden gem offering the real Montana experience for those looking for the BEST of ALL worlds: Proximity to town and MSU (10 min), ski resorts (45min), close to Yellowstone and Big Sky, surrounded by nature, wildlife, unpolluted views of the milky way and shooting stars right from the comforts of the hot tub while listening to the relaxing rushing waters of the creek a few steps away. Come unwind in our luxurious cabin. Our guests often extend their stays and wish they could stay longer!

Under new ownership and completely restored, this charming 2 bedroom, 2 full bath, 1500 square foot Rocky Mountain Trapper Style Bear Creek Log Cabin was constructed 30 years ago with lodge pole pine trees harvested from this 10 acre property bordering Bear Creek & State Forest land and with a running creek known to have Brown & Rainbow Trout in the deeper pools. Often you will see moose, white tail deer, elk, and once in a while black bears. They especially like to feast on the berry bushes that are scattered throughout the property. There are also some wild turkeys who love to stop by for a visit as well as chipmunks, squirrels and a variety of birds.

LIVING AREA ~ The living room boasts a vaulted log ceiling with a ceiling fan and remote sure to please all your temperature needs, super comfortable leather sofas you won't want to get up from, and a cozy warm wood stove. Relax after a long day exploring the area hearing the crackling of the wood in the winter months or enjoying the cool breeze with a movie. We've upgraded our internet service to Fiber Optic to bring the latest technology into the wilderness. We have HD TV with DirectTV, Roku with many different channels, DVD/Video Player and the top rated intelligent assistant from Amazon Echo ready to play music of your liking at the command of your voice. Outside the fire pit/grill and campfire seating is ideal for a real 'Western' cookout. Firewood provided. Slate patio dining with 2 patio heaters and a TRAEGER! The IT smoker/grill of anyone looking for top notch BBQ flavors. We want only the best for our guests so are excited for this new addition. Bring your own meats, or better yet, enjoy the catches of your day adventures for supper.

KITCHEN ~ The cabin has a large galley style kitchen with dining room fully stocked with everything you will need and want to prepare even the most elaborate meal. There's a glass cook stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot, Keurig, toaster, wine glasses, and all of the cookware and utensils, dishes & glassware you need sure to please all chefs. You bring your clothing, personal toiletries, and buy your food at a local supermarket, which is a 10 minute drive to downtown Bozeman. The Cabin also has a washer/dryer plus all of the laundry supplies for operation for the convenience of our guests.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS ~ The Cabin has 2 levels with both bedrooms located upstairs and bathrooms, kitchen and living area downstairs. It has comfortable mattresses.

WHAT TO DO ~ We have terrific mountain biking, ATV, snowmobiling, horse back riding and hiking opportunities on State Land just under one mile away right off the main road into the cabin. Hyalite Canyon cannot be missed, especially if you enjoy climbing a frozen waterfall in the winter. Summit Sports offers ATV and snow mobiles rentals to our front door when available. Enjoy fishing, white-water rafting, paddle boarding, canoeing, floating the Madison river and all the Gallatin Valley has to offer. Bozeman Smithsonian affiliated Museum of the Rockies boasts T-Rex skeletons and more. Simply a MUST for families with kids. And a short 30 minute drive ends your evening well soaking in your choice of 12 pools at the Bozeman Hot Springs where you can catch live music performances (and food trucks during summers) on Thursday and Sunday evenings. In the summer months, Bozeman parties hard soaking in the warm sunshine to last through winter. The cabin has an exclusive tablet for the use of our guests with all this information, house rules, host recommendations and more.

Bear Creek Log Cabin is a Montana adventure retreat in the forest right outside of Bozeman, MT.

This charming cabin is extremely cozy, 15 minutes away from town, yet segregated enough surrounded by woods, and a stream below that rabbits and deer frequently visit! The hosts have excellent communication, very responsive, and make you feel so welcomed! The cabin itself is spacious and has a ‘zen-like’ design. We roasted marshmallows, hung out in their very clean, hot and sanitary spa. There is lots of seating space on the patio and just the right amount of amenities needed to make your stay comfortable.

Great rustic cabin with A communication and friendly service by property owners

I stayed with my 3 adult sons for a 4 night fishing trip. The charming rustic cabin was in a great location with a secluded feel and everything we could need. If I come back to the Bozeman area I would definitely look into staying again.

This was my fifth stay in this cabin. I love how it is situated in the woods in the mountains but close enough to Bozeman for restaurants and groceries. We use it as our base camp for Yellowstone.

Wonderful Winter Getaway

This VRBO was exactly what I wanted for my family's early Christmas gathering. We loved the location, easy to get to, peaceful and quiet. The outdoor hot tub gave us an extra space to connect and relax. We loved the wood stove, although the temperature was challenging to moderate. The upstairs bedrooms became too warm necessitating the need to open the windows in order to sleep comfortably. That was fine with us as we love fresh air. Liz was an excellent host, swift with communicating and providing extra attention to detail. We have lovely memories of our time in Bozeman!

Awesome Getaway

We loved staying in this cabin. The hosts thought of everything. Especially liked that the boys could fish the creek and they did catch 2 trout. The Traeger grill was fantastic for cooking evening meals. Location was great, far enough away from town yet close enough to shopping and dining. We did a lot of day trips from this location but the best part was coming back to this cozy cabin and relaxing to the sounds of nature. We would definitely come back to this place if we were to return to Montana.

Cozy winter getaway

Cabin and hosts are top notch; We visited in the winter with a storm, 4x4 highly recommended to access the cabin in the winter. Adult family of 5 ages 50-18 all piled in the hot tub, played games with ample firewood & boy scout juice provided (Brian came over and showed us the ins and outs of the wood burning stove). Great location for day trips to Bear Canyon and Hyalite Canyon and dinners in Bozeman just a few minutes away. Clean and quaint, tasteful Christmas decorations; looking forward to coming back in the summer and cooking some ribeyes on the outdoor fire pit

Visiting Bozeman stay here!!

We were in town touring Montana State University with my daughter. We were looking for something other than a hotel and we found this gem. It is an awesome older log cabin, the slightly crooked floors gave the property true character and we loved it. The outdoor hot tub was awesome in the mountain snow at night. It was an easy 15 min drive to downtown Bozeman. I would recommend an SUV in winter months as we had 6-8 inches of snow one night. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

Thoroughly Enjoyed Our Stay!

My extended family traveled from all over the U.S. to gather in Bozeman to remember my father (who grew up nearby) and reconnect with one another. My part of the group consisted of my spouse and I, one adult daughter, one teen, and a 10 year old. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bear Creek Log Cabin. A couple of cousins dropped by, and my kids and the cousins especially enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and grilling, and visiting the creek. The area is quiet and relatively secluded, and definitely has the mountain "vibe" while also being super-convenient to Bozeman. Despite the bear theme, we didn't see any bear, but we did see a fox, a wild turkey hen, numerous deer, birds and other wildlife. Communication with the hosts was excellent, the place was clean and well taken care of, and although we noticed the slightly slanted foundation that was referenced in the description, it was no problem for us at all, and all around we just had an amazing time. Would most definitely stay here again.

Wonderful in every way!

Our family booked this property over the Christmas 2022 holiday, but our arrival was delayed due to wide-spread flight cancelations in the midst of the winter blizzard. When we finally arrived after having slept overnight at Chicago O'Hare Airport, I can't tell you how wonderful it was to walk into this cozy log cabin to fresh baked cookies on the table and the inviting warmth of a log burning stove. The cabin was everything we'd hoped for and more, we enjoyed every moment, from sledding down the hill out back to relaxing in the hot tub, and watching Christmas movies together. We had visits from the local wildlife, who seemed as much at home there as we felt. Although we never saw our hosts, they were very responsive and always made sure that we had everything we needed. At one point, we found a single sled outside and began taking turns sledding down the hill. Not more than a few hours later, a car quietly pulled up and a young man jumped out to deliver two more sleds by the door. It was the nicest thing, they didn't wish to intrude on our vacation, they simply saw an opportunity to enhance it and took action. It was all the little touches like that, coupled with the beauty of the location and the obvious love the hosts have for this property that made it truly wonderful in every way. Well Done!
