Lodge on the Boulder River | Sleeps 10

Perched on the banks of the Boulder River just 8 miles south of Big Timber, this log-style home is a full escape from everything. Watch the river rush past from the deck, cast a fly rod half a mile from the front door, and come back to a stone fireplace, a leather sectional, and a kitchen that actually has everything you need. The property sits on private acreage with dramatic cliff views over the river below. This is the real Montana.

The main house sleeps up to 10 across three levels and is available on its own or alongside the adjacent guest cabin (listed separately). If you're not renting both units, please note that another party may be staying in the cabin on the property during your visit.

Neighborhood

The Boulder River Valley is one of the most coveted areas in Montana -- pristine, quiet, and jaw-dropping. The river originates in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness just north of Yellowstone and flows north to its confluence with the Yellowstone River in Big Timber, loaded with rainbow and brown trout averaging 15-18 inches. The property sits about 8 miles south of town along the Boulder River Road, with a fishing bridge access point just half a mile away. Local angler guides are available to hire for a dedicated fishing day.

Big Timber is a classic Montana small town with a historic downtown, local diners, and the kind of friendly-stranger energy that makes Montana feel like Montana. Livingston (about 40 minutes west) and Bozeman (about 1.5 hours) offer grocery stores, restaurants, and more. Yellowstone's North Entrance at Gardiner is about 1.5 hours away, making this a great home base for a Yellowstone day trip. In winter, skiing and snowmobiling are a short drive from the property.

Getting around

A car is required. Parking is available on-site. The property is approximately 8 miles south of Big Timber on the Boulder River Road.
