Our stay at little bear was fantastic. The lodge is located in a place that was situated close enough to Bozeman and Yellowstone, which were 2 places on our bucket list. Melissa was great to work with and stayed in contact with us the entire time to make sure our stay lived up to expectations.

Montana Beauty

Montana offered so much and with this awesome residence to stay and relax at was an additional benefit. From the house we saw some awesome sunsets, herds of farm raised bison, herds of farm raised cows, and many birds! Located between Big Sky and Bozeman with a short skip to Yellowstone!

Little Bear Lodge was wonderful. My kids, spouses and grandchild all stayed for a week. It was very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and beautiful view. There were plenty of kitchen items to cook for our whole crew and the bonus was we all fit around the large table. The location was a perfect distance from Bozeman. The family enjoyed hiking, fly fishing, swimming in the river, Bozeman Hot springs, shopping in Bozeman and the Coffee Pot Pottery Shop and Bakery just down the road. Thank you for a welcoming place to come home to each day!
