Setting, acreage, views: The cabin is located on Flying D Ranch, over 100,000 acres owned by a certain conservation-minded media mogul. The cabin is on the western edge of the ranch amidst some farming land utilized to support the bison herd through winter.

There are beautiful views to the south of the Spanish Peaks mountains.

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.

Activities nearby: Besides fishing right out the back door, you can enjoy hiking and mountain biking on nearby trails, horseback riding, golf, skiing, tours of Yellowstone National Park, and everything that the towns of Bozeman and Big Sky have to offer. The cabin is also in a convenient location for skiers looking to explore both Big Sky resort and Bridger Bowl ski area.
