Enjoy pure and simple comfort in this unique log structure built with gleaming ponderosa pine logs from Montana forests. Relax to the sounds of the legendary Gallatin River while resting in your log bed from an old Montana ranch. The Lucky Dog Lodge offers small and large gatherings a spacious modern vacation accommodation in a rural rustic setting.
Conveniently located, Lucky Dog Lodge serves as the perfect home base for a terrific range of year-round activities for all ages, interests and abilities. You can walk out the back door with private access to the Gallatin River for an early morning fishing session, walk or bike a short distance downstream to Bozeman Hot Springs and Spa, or drive a few miles up Gallatin Canyon where hiking trails are numerous and everything from white water rafting to horseback riding is available. There's even a public 18-hole golf course just minutes away. Downhill and cross country skiing, ice skating, and other winter activities are all conveniently located to the Lucky Dog Lodge including both Big Sky Resort and Bridger Bowl Ski Area.
As you enter the Lucky Dog Lodge, your eye is immediately drawn to the third floor balcony and the massive logs and ridge pole surrounded by a ceiling of fir tongue-and-groove wood planks, lit up by a myriad of natural light. Open rooms and high ceilings provide a spacious and airy feel throughout. Radiant floor heating and thick logs maintain a comfortable temperature year-round. Wood decks extending from the second and third floors, as well a large ground level deck, offer views of a number of mountain ranges and the Gallatin River while you are entertaining or relaxing. Enjoy the sunset from the hot tub on the second story deck overlooking the Gallatin River and surrounding cottonwood forest.
In all there are six bedrooms and five bathrooms - 2 queens in private bedrooms 1 full size, 9 x-long twins (full and 2 twins in one room, 2 rooms with 2 twins each, 3 twins and queen futon in other bedroom) and 2 floor pads. The open main floor sports a fully equipped modern kitchen complete with pine breakfast bar and a large dining area. The comfortable relaxing area is also perfect for family games or a small business retreat meeting. When it’s time to take a break from enjoying the inside of the Lucky Dog Lodge, try out the outdoor hot tub or the wood-fired sauna on a starry Montana night!

On-Site Amenities
Excellent for family reunions or business retreats. The Lucky Dog Lodge is a perfect place to hold a fly fishing workshop or just get folks together to fish. Walking out the back door you can have your line in the water within 90 seconds, and without a nearby public fishing access there is a lack of fishing pressure on this stretch of river. Staying at the Lodge you can book a few days of guided fishing then have your own backyard to practice. Grill your own fish and cook meals at the lodge, or go out to a variety of nearby restaurants - the Lodge is the perfect step away from the hotel scene or the full-service guest lodge arrangement. Inquire for special off-season fishing rates!
