Welcome to Two Rivers Retreat! The first thing you notice here is the sound of the Middle Fork River, running right past the deck of this 4-bedroom, three-story Western-style home in Big Sky. Step through the mudroom, shake off your ski gear or hiking boots, and walk into the heart of the home: a big kitchen with a center island and bar seating for 3, new stainless steel appliances and a wood stove that fills the room with warmth. The dining table seats 8, so big group dinners are not just possible, they are inevitable, and a brand new well drilled this summer means great water throughout your stay.
The main level living area opens to the porch and a staircase that leads straight down to the river, with two bedrooms sharing a generous bathroom. Upstairs, the loft holds a king bed, a corner soaking tub, a standing shower, two twin sleeper sofas and a tucked-away workspace. The lower level has its own personality, with a second living area, a wet bar, a cozy dining nook for 4, a fourth bedroom, laundry and a newly remodeled bathroom, and it steps right out to the private hot tub tucked into the hillside above the river.
Outside, newly landscaped stone paths lead to the front door, and out back the large deck is made for long evenings. In summer, head down to the riverbank, where a fire pit and Adirondack chairs keep everyone outside well past dark; in winter, Big Sky Resort is about 15 minutes away and Yellowstone National Park is about an hour. Up to two dogs are welcome too. The river is calling, so pick your dates and come stay a while.
Winter
Big Sky Resort is the biggest skiing in America, and it earns that title every single year. With 5,800 skiable acres, 4,350 feet of vertical drop, and an average of 400+ inches of snowfall annually, it delivers for every level of skier and rider. When you are ready to step off the slopes, the historic Lone Mountain Ranch has 85+ kilometers of groomed Nordic trails through the wilderness, voted the #1 cross-country ski resort in North America. Beyond that, Yellowstone National Park, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice fishing, and world-class spa experiences are all within easy reach.
Summer
The mountains do not slow down when the snow melts. Within minutes you have world-class fly fishing, river rafting, golf, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and zip-lining at your doorstep. Follow the scenic Gallatin River along historic Highway 191 and you are at the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park in just 45 minutes. Stay long enough and you will find free concerts, farmers markets, and weekly events scattered throughout the season.
