A Montana Island Home

Description from the owner

Welcome home to Montana. Whether this is your first time in the area, or you're a frequent visitor, our home offers everything you are looking for.

First off, this house will not come off as a rental. You won't walk in and feel like you've been cheated. There won't be any wobbly furniture bought at yard sales or spartan accommodations. When you stay here, you stay knowing that everything is provided for you, and then some.

My wife and I are teachers, and when summers roll around we like to get away. Montana is one of the many destinations that we love. You have mountains around you, rivers and creeks, and a town that has eve...rything. We looked for years, trying to find the right place in Montana, and we think we did. Even the inspector who came out to look over the place claimed that he sees a property like this "maybe once a year." And that's what we thought, too.

It's on 3 acres at the end of a road--it's actually an island--so you will not see or hear a neighbor from a surrounding home. It's like your own personal "island" in the middle of the country, as there is a major creek running through the property on one side and a seasonal creek on the other. BUT, you're not in the country. Only half a mile down the road is Main St., which can take you in any direction. We're two minutes from Four Corners (gateway to fishing and skiing), five minutes to the first big grocery store, and ten minutes to either the University or Downtown. It's a special property. Less than 100 feet from the back door is the above-mentioned trout-filled creek that runs right through the property (400 feet of creek access just on the property).

The house is one of many levels. The first floor is the living room, with fireplace, television, stereo, and an unobstructed view of the Bridgers. There is also a guest bedroom with its own full bath, along with a half bath off the living room.

Walking downstairs takes you to the kitchen, where everything is provided. A small sitting area is to one side, while a dining area is to the other side. An air-conditioned (and heated) sun room offers more access to hanging out close to the kitchen. A washer and dryer are also featured. If you don't like eating inside, a wrap-around deck surrounds the house, complete with a grill hooked up to natural gas.

Walking down another level gets you the man cave. Television, stereo, and a separate bedroom and bathroom for privacy. There's also a wet bar area in the man cave to keep drinks cold if you don't feel like walking less than 10 stairs to the kitchen.

Upstairs is the master, with a steam shower in the bathroom. The room opens up to another deck that overlooks the property and the creek. Opening the screen door will allow the creek to lull you to sleep at night. This floor also features a den/office, that can also be used as a bedroom. Its concept is open--it overlooks the living room--but it is still an ample space.

Upstairs even more is a game room, which offers more things to do, more views, and a library of books, movies, and cds.

Outside is absolutely beautiful, and one of the major reasons we bought the place. The creek is nice, but there's also the deck around the house that overlooks it, a huge yard, a putting green, horseshoes, and a deck and gazebo right on the water.

There's space for everyone here, depending on how you want to use it. If three or four buddies are going fishing, they all have their own bedrooms. If it's just a couple, you have your choice of many nice rooms. If it's a family occasion, you can fit and hang out together, or find privacy on any of the floors, or outside.

We look forward to coming here every time and find something new to do each day. And that's what we hope for you. Let us know and we will make your stay a good one. You will not be disappointed.Read more

Rental fees

Additional notes from owner

Our rates will be about 200-250 a night, give or take depending on occupancy and need. Obviously, it is based on supply and demand, where prices in Winter will not be as much as prices in Summer. Let us know your situation and we'll see what we can do. We have been travelers and have previously owned rental property, so we will try to make this a positive experience for you.

  Very nice!

  Left on 06/13/2013 for a stay in May 2013
  
  

  My family and I spent the week of Memorial Day 2013 here. The house was very clean, well furnished, and comfortable. The beds were excellent. We caught a couple of brown trout in the creek on the property. One was 16". We released it so it is there for you to catch again. The location makes it an excellent base for access to both the North and West entrances of Yellowstone and is very convenient to the Gallatin and Madison rivers if fishing is of interest. It is convenient to the airport and just far enough from town to provide quiet solitude. Saw deer, turkey, and rabbits on the property every day.
