There is a nice selection of cookware, serving ware and a good spice cabinet as well. Out on the deck you will find a gas barbecue grill and seating for those outdoor meals.

Dining area: The dining area adjoins the kitchen, with a beautiful dining table with bench seats that will seat a group of up to ten comfortably. There is additional seating at the bar counter.

Living room: The living area is off to the side of the dining room and kitchen - the open space of this home is great for gathering after your day of fishing or hiking in the area. Cozy leather sofas are arranged nicely for conversation, enjoying the views out the windows, or relaxing in front of the entertainment center. There is a large screen television with satellite service, plus a dvd player with a small movie selection.

Guest cabin: This sweet guest cabin is located out on the "peninsula" of the pond area. The cabin has a cozy, western design. It has a kitchenette area, appropriate for a quick breakfast or snack to save a trip to the big house. The living area has a couple of easy chairs, and doors out to the back deck with a view looking out over the pond. Upstairs is a loft area with one double bed and one twin bed. The cabin has a full bath with shower only. The cabin can be added to your rental of the main house for a charge of $500 per week.

Setting, acreage, views: The Big Hat is located on 30 private acres. The rugged Tobacoo Root Mountain range is nearly all you can see from the home! The beautiful pond is surrounded by trees, and offers some great practice casting before you head out for the day's adventures.

Services available: The rental rate includes a weekly cleaning. Additional housekeeping, as well as catering services, and grocery shopping, can be arranged with a bit of prior notice. The home provides a computer with high speed internet access for guest use.

Activities nearby: Besides hiking and mountain biking on nearby trails in the Tobacco Root Mountains, there is fishing, horseback riding, rafting, golf, and tours of Yellowstone National Park. The closest town is an old mining town, nearly a ghost town, called Pony -- great for getting a feel for the Old West!
