Property details

Enjoy comfort in this unique log structure built with ponderosa pine from Montana. Relax to the sounds of the Gallatin River while resting in your log bed from an old Montana ranch. Our pricing varies based on group size, adjusting $20 per additional person per night beyond the base rate. Great location with plenty of acreage, yard, river walks, and fishing on-site. During spring runoff in May or early June, fishing may be limited, and trails might flood. Managed by Bozeman Cottage Vacation Rentals, Lucky Dog Lodge is a cost-effective alternative to full-service lodges. Enjoy the privacy and space we offer, with garden views from the upper decks. The owner lives nearby, with no houses between the lodge and river with private property access. The lodge features a third-floor balcony and massive logs, highlighting Rocky Mountain beauty. The open design and high ceilings with fir tongue-and-groove ceiling and natural light promote a spacious feel. Our 8KW solar array helps keep it green! Radiant heating and thick log walls maintain year-round comfort. Wood decks from the second and third floors showcase views of the Gallatin River. Relax in log beds from an old ranch or enjoy the 2nd floor balcony hot tub at sunset. The main floor includes a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, perfect for family games or meetings.

April 2026

For our group of 16, it was a perfect fit. We had ample space to sleep, relax indoors and then the trail behind the house was absolutely restorative. Walking by the river was peaceful and helped to really appreciate the beauty of Bozeman without having to drive. Paul was very helpful and communicated quickly and I am hoping to book the Lucky Dog Lodge again next year when my team plans to return.
