Spectacular views and easy access to Fly Fishing on the Madison River

Step out the front door and be on the world-premier fly fishing Madison River. Fish when you want, catch the evening hatch while you enjoy antelope and deer grazing nearby.

When you are in between the hatches on the Madison River visit Yellowstone National Park, Virginia City, or Nevada City. You are minutes away from the Gallatin River, the Firehole, Gibbon, and other famous rivers in Yellowstone National Park.

Every guest who has visited has marveled at the beauty of the surrounding area and the comforts and first-class conditions of the living space. This is our home which we open up to you as you enjoy the beauty of Montana and the great Madison River. Check us out for your winter snowmobling and skiing vacation. It will be an adventure!

Winter at our place is a special time of year..even if you have to snowmobile into the property. Soft snow, cold nights, a warm fire and plenty of winter sports...including fly fishing is available to you here.

Winter is coming, think about a week of Winter fun cross-country skiing, downhill skiing at Big Sky or just enjoying over 1,000 miles of snowmobile trails within a short drive of the property.

Our lodge has 3 bedrooms ( two with queen size beds and 1 with 2 twin beds). There is also a queen size bed in the loft. There are 2 full baths, a great room with a river rock fireplace, dining area, fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, a deck with a gas barbecue grill and a covered front porch. We do have an outside firepit.

Beautiful area, on the Upper Madison River.

Very nice accommodations. David and Diana were very gracious host. It is reasonably close to Yellowstone and Ennis, a 1 and 1/2 from Bozeman. Some of the best trout fishing in the country! Loved this VRBO

Cozy cabin with wood burning stove. Great property, with another house and cabin with gear storage on same property. Walking distance to river with great fishing access. Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again!

Perfect home-base for our trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton!

David and Diana were exceptional hosts and their property and cabin were beautiful! They were prompt with communication and answered all of my questions and were there to greet us and show us around when we arrived and checked in on how our stay went before we left. The cabin had everything we needed and the views were gorgeous. The drive to West Yellowstone took about 35 minutes from the cabin but was an adventure in itself as we saw several moose, elk and pronghorn during our travels multiple times! I would definitely recommend staying here! It helped make our Yellowstone vacation even more special.

Beautiful Madison River Property

We’ve been coming to the Madison River for years to fish. This time we brought our girls to fish and tour the area and wanted a larger place to stay. David and Diana’s place was perfect! They are so nice and friendly! The house is fully stocked (no need to buy condiments!!) and we had fun playing games and cooking, barbecuing, and being outside. Their family joined us for fireworks right out back on the 4th of July! We’ll definitely be back next year!

Uncomfortable

Cabins and view are amazing, we saw eagles, mule deer, mountain goats, antelope and even a fox. The only real issue is the owners stay at the property with you. Almost like having a baby sitter. Owner even walked in our room unannounced while my husband was still in bed.

Beautiful and peaceful

It was exactly what we were looking for. House was in a private valley with wildlife everywhere. Elk, antelope, big horn sheep, mule deer, and bald eagles were seen from the property the week we were there. Not to mention the blue ribbon trout stream right out the front door. This place is perfect for an outdoors family. Easy ride of about 40 or 45 minutes into Yellowstone National Park.Only disappointment was hot tub wasn’t functional at the time we were there. The wife was looking forward to that. Other than that the place was just about perfect. Will be back and thanks for letting us into your home.

Great Boys Trip

The property was located in the flats beneath the nearby mountains. Lovely views 360 degrees. River access, but tough to fish directly in front of the house. Road into the property was long and rough. The home itself worked perfectly for the 6 of us. The bedrooms were comfortable. Having two bathrooms was a plus. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. The only real disappointment was not being notified that the hot tub would be inoperative. Wish we would have been notified prior to our trip as we packed bathing suits and could have used it after fighting current all day in the river. Overall, the property met our needs.

Loved Montana Spirit

This property was amazing. The location was remote and absolutely beautiful. It was about 30-40 minutes to the West Yellowstone entrance. Check in was an easy process with the hosts meeting us and showing us around. The cabin was cozy and comfortable to return to each evening. It was well equipped, even having bear spray to borrow and wood for bonfires. There was abundant wildlife nearby. We saw goats on the nearby mountain, an eagle, a beaver by the river, and had antelopes in the yard. I would highly recommend this cabin and we would love to return again in the future.

Beyond expectations!

Private location a very short distance from the Madison river . The most comfortable most fully equipped home imaginable. Diana and David could not be anymore gracious. David was extremely generous with his time with us pointing out his favorite fishing spots . The entire experience could not have been any better. Bill Stewart

Enjoyed entire stay.

The property and cabin are perfect. The surroundings are beautiful with deer and antelope. The river is flowing and perfect as well. My family and I could not be happier. The host was very accommodating even when we sprung a last minute early arrival on her. She waited until almost midnight to check us in and get us settled. Again could not be,happier.

Gorgeous home away from the crowds!

First time visiting Montana for this California family. David and Diana’s place was the perfect getaway for our family of four. Close enough to enjoy Yellowstone (30-40 minute drive) but away from all the crowds. After a long day at the park we could relax and enjoy the beauty of Montana (minus all the people). The home is located on the Madison river and you can hear the river from the house. Tons of wildlife and we saw multiple deer and elk every day! The home is beautiful and charming and filled with personal touches that made it so special. We very much enjoyed our stay at Montana spirit. David and Diana were wonderful and gracious hosts. Five stars!!

A Little Slice of Heaven

My family recently visited Montana for the first time and it definitely did not disappoint. This place is absolutely beautiful and my family did not want to leave at the end. The cabin we stayed in was perfect, very clean and had everything we needed and much more. Diana & Dave are exceptional host's. We were a little worried about our trip since right before we got there Yellowstone National Park had major flooding and the park was forced to close. Since that was one of the reasons we were visiting we were concerned. But it all worked out, we arrived on a Saturday and part of the park reopened on Wednesday. We were able to visit the park on Wednesday and it was beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to visit again.

Montana Spirit

Our family had an amazing stay at Montana Spirit and David and Diana are outstanding and friendly hosts. We truly enjoyed having the Madison River not far from the property, the gorgeous sunsets and daily visits from several families of Antelope. The cabin was very spacious for our family of six and it was very well stocked. We loved the location and would definitely stay again if we make it back to the area. Highly recommend.

A change of pace with a view!

After long days in the park, it was so nice to come back to a beautiful home with peaceful sunsets and a relaxing atmosphere. Our teenagers enjoyed their walk to the river in the evenings and they even brought a few cool rocks home. Diana and David were very nice and we enjoyed their welcome and send off! We would definitely return if in the area again. P.S. one amenity we found especially useful was the bear spray. So glad we didn't have to spend $50 on something we never had to use and couldn't take home with us.
