The Edge: Private Log Home, Mountain Views & Hot Tub on 23 Acres

Wake up above the valley, sip coffee with mountain views, and end the day in the hot tub beneath Montana's night sky. Welcome to The Edge, a private 3,000-square-foot log home on 23.5 acres atop Bozeman Pass, between Bozeman and Livingston.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame five mountain ranges, while the wraparound deck gives you a front-row seat to changing skies, sunsets, and visiting wildlife. Come for a family vacation, a getaway with friends, or quiet days spent enjoying the home itself.

ROOM TO GATHER, SPACE TO UNWIND
Spread out across three levels with two stone fireplaces, comfortable living areas, and a game room with a pool table and television. Cook together in the well-equipped kitchen, share meals around the dining table seating six to eight, or grill and dine on the deck. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, streaming entertainment, and convenient smart-home features bring comfort to the mountain setting.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS — UP TO 8 GUESTS
• Primary bedroom: four-poster king bed, mountain views, an adjoining bathroom with a stone walk-in shower and double sinks, and deck access.
• Second enclosed bedroom: queen bed and access to the main bathroom.
• Open sleeping loft: two full beds and twin bunk beds. The loft is open to the home and does not offer the privacy of an enclosed bedroom.
The home has two full bathrooms and one half bathroom.

YOUR OWN MONTANA RETREAT
Relax in the outdoor hot tub, explore the property's private trails, or settle onto the deck with a book. Deer, moose, elk, foxes, and birds may visit; wildlife sightings are a possibility, never a guarantee. On clear nights, enjoy stargazing away from the lights of town.

Guests frequently highlight the views, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, and thoughtful hosting in their reviews. The setting invites you to slow down and make time to simply be here.

EXPLORE AT YOUR OWN PACE
Make time for Bozeman, Livingston, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, or a day trip to Yellowstone National Park. This is a secluded mountain base, so plan travel time for outings and pick up groceries before heading up.

IMPORTANT DETAILS FOR A COMFORTABLE STAY
• Mountain access: the home is reached by approximately six miles of gravel road. Expect a winding mountain approach rather than an in-town location; arriving in daylight is recommended for your first visit.
• Weather can change quickly at elevation, including during the warmer months. Ask about vehicle and road conditions before arrival. Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is required for winter conditions.
• Outdoor wildlife cameras: ten wireless infrared cameras around the property are used to observe wildlife, as described in the listing.
• Please check the calendar for available dates and review the house rules before booking.

Bring your favorite people, settle in, and enjoy a Montana stay with room to breathe.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A flat-screen television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.
Don't miss out on recreational opportunities including a hot tub and a fitness center. This vacation home also features an arcade/game room and gas grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Views were spectacular and the opportunities to see wildlife on the property were incredible! The hot tub on the deck was perfect after a visit to Yellowstone and golfing in Anaconda. Clean & well stocked kitchen and baths, comfortable beds with luxury linens, smart home technology and a “welcome” bottle of wine made our stay so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your home with us, Art!

Log Mansion

We loved everything about our stay at The Edge. It was meticulously clean and exceeded our expectations. Art was an excellent host - he met us at the base of the driveway to drive us up to the property and show us around. The views were breathtaking. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was the perfect getaway. Thank you, Art!

Tranquil and quiet but close to all

We spent 4 days at this beautiful log home with jaw dropping views day and night and it wasn't enough. We had coffee with the neighbors (a mule deer and her fawn) and spotted a black bear and two moose. Everything was as described and Art was a wonderful host. If you plan on visiting the Bozeman/Livingston/Paradise Valley area you should book here, you won't regret it. We will definitely come back and stay here next time we are in MT.

Once in a lifetime vacation at The Edge! Art kindly met us at the bottom of the mountain to escort us to the house upon arrival. It's a beautiful location but definitely a trek up the gravel road. Having the guide for the first trip certainly helped. Home was as advertised, spacious, cleanly and stunning views from every window and spot on the balcony. The photos truly don't do it justice! I'm so happy I selected this place for our girls trip to Montana!

Best host- best beds- best views!!

This was our first trip to Montana and the property was perfect. Art is an amazing host with the perfect amount of support and communication. He set us up with ideas of things to do, left wine and chocolates, s'mores for the kids and so much more! He had binoculars there, firewood staged at the fire pit, toys for the littles, movies, and the list goes on and on! We loved the beds- such a great comfort after long days outside. We enjoyed the hot tub (nice robes available). Sitting on the deck each morning and evening was our favorite! We spotted mule deer, fox, snowshoe rabbit, moose and baby, white tail deer, hummingbirds, owl and so on. The wildflowers all over the yard were a delight! We were a little sad to leave but wow what a great place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors! Thanks Art!

Just what we were looking for!

Like anyone else reading this, before we booked this trip we read review after review. All I could think was ‘how can the pictures not do it justice, they seem too good to be true’. But the reviews are spot on. The pictures are great but the reality is so much more. Once you are on the mountain, it’s like a birds view from their perch. The views are incredible. We booked to celebrate my birthday and wanted someplace we could just hang out, escape from having a schedule and hopefully catch some wildlife. That is exactly what you will find here! We woke up every morning to have coffee watching the deer, saw a moose on our first day and loved daily visits from the fox. We watched storms roll in and when the clouds cleared, saw more stars in the sky than I can remember seeing. The description about the drive up the mountain is correct. We decided that WHEN we go back, we will be back on property before dark. But during the day the location is perfect! Halfway between Bozeman and Livingston. Art was fantastic! As described, he meets you at the bottom of the mountain to guide you up and gives you a walk through of the house. The furniture is in great shape and beds comfortable. Note there are only 2 full baths and 2 bedrooms with doors. The upstairs is a loft. It didn’t bother us for what we needed but good to know if you have a need for 3 bedrooms and full baths. All to say we will be back and already looking at dates. I am afraid the more people find out about this place, the faster it will book. I almost want to keep it a secret but Art is too amazing not to do it justice. So if you want your shoulders to relax, breathe in some clean mountain air, and just enjoy nature. This is the place to book

Best view ever!!!

Art was great before we even got there! Communicated with us about the house and met us at the bottom of the mountain to guide us up and explain everything which was incredibly helpful! Photos just don't do the spectacular views justice!! It's absolutely breathtaking! The drive up the mountain will blow your mind! The kitchen has everything you need. We don't have Alexa and it was fun to play music through it. Perfect spot from the airport and downtown Bozeman. Many things to do. We suggest renting an ATV and go riding the Gallatin National Forrest. It was incredible! We saw amazing storms roll in, it's like you're on top of the world! We normally don't write reviews, but wanted everyone to know how amazing this house is!!!! Thanks again, Art!!

Gallatin County Grandeur

This home is amazing! Nothing has been overlooked. Anything you could possibly need or want is supplied. Beds were super comfy and water pressure was good. Communication was spot on. Questions were answered quickly and a quick escort up the mountain and introduction to the Smart home, by the owner, was welcome. Now let’s talk about the views! This Florida girl was in Heaven! The view was nothing less than awe inspiring. It was why I rented the house in the first place and it didn’t disappoint! Just know, you can’t have those views without a little effort. It’s a 15 minute drive up and down the mountain, but no matter, it’s totally worth it! I highly recommend!

This property was amazing! From the wildlife and solitude, to the views from the deck of the Bridger Range, this place was exactly what we needed. Art thought of everything; stocking the home with so many extras we really didn't need to (or want to) leave after our initial grocery run. And the hot tub under the stars was awesome! We already miss this Montana retreat and want to come back!

Wonderful home in an amazing setting with fantastic views and sunsets. What you read about and see is what you get - in fact the photos don’t do it justice. I agree with all the recent reviews. The home is clean, well appointed, the tech is cool, the kitchen well stocked with staples - iota a great vacation home. If you want an isolated place but still convenient to Bozeman and Livingston, this is your place. And Art, is one of the best hosts I have come across. He is responsive, pleasant to deal with and goes out of his way to accommodate and assure that you will have everything you need.

Bliss in Bozeman

This property was beautiful. The Cabin was large, comfortable and had all the modern conveniences. Especially thankful for the well equipped kitchen stocked with staples. The views are incredible - pictures don't do it justice. Art was a wonderful host - accommodating in any way he could be. Definitely ensure you have a 4X4 as you will need it. Otherwise prepare to relax and get lost in the vistas and animals on property. Day trips to Bozeman / Big Sky were very straightforward. YNP was a dream day trip too but we just missed all the terrible flooding so make sure you plan that in advance as it will take some time for the park to recover unfortunately.

Fabulous home and property with Art as an excellent host

Art, as owner and host, knows all details needed for an enjoyable stay. Everything we needed for our 7-dat stay was anticipated. We enjoyed getting snowed-in for a full day and Art ensured the driveway was cleared twice/day for the remainder of our stay. We have stayed at many VRBO properties around the world; this property and our stay is one of our favorites!
