Entire cabin, sleeps 2, on a 10-acre horse ranch

  • Studio cabin with 1 queen bed
  • 1 bathroom
  • Private patio with grill and fire pit
  • Corral space for up to 4 horses

The Bunkhouse at Almosta Ranch is a cowgirl-chic studio cabin on a 10-acre ranch in the Gallatin Valley, shaded by cottonwoods and surrounded by horse pasture. Vintage Western decor, reclaimed wood, and an original sliding barn door give it real character, and a short walk through the pasture takes you to Baker Creek. It’s under five minutes from I-90 and about 15 minutes from the airport, so it’s an easy first or last night in Montana, and with corral space and good trailer access, it’s a rare find for anyone traveling with horses.

Perfect for

  • Traveling with horses
  • Couples and solo travelers
  • Quick airport access
  • Yellowstone road trips

The ranch through the seasons

Summer

Long days for horseback riding, hiking the Bridgers, floating rivers, and Yellowstone trips, then evenings on the porch watching the horses graze.

Fall

Golden cottonwoods along Baker Creek, crisp riding weather, and Bobcat football Saturdays at MSU, about 20 minutes away.

Winter

Bridger Bowl is about 37 minutes away and Big Sky about an hour. The Yellowstone road from Gardiner to Lamar Valley stays open for winter wildlife watching.

Spring

One of the quietest times to visit, with birdwatching along the creek. Yellowstone's roads begin reopening in mid-April.

Pictures don’t do this place justice!! Plenty of room for two people. Comfy bed, great porch area with beautiful flowers. Great host. A little home away from home!! Can’t say enough good things. Great price and good location.

This adorable cabin is a safe haven. It’s very clean, the bed is comfortable, the kitchen is adorable, the owner lives next door and is fantastic. We felt very welcomed. There are horses on the place that we enjoyed watching. There is a charming creek one could even walk to and enjoy a picnic in the summer time. You can see the Bridger Mountains and the tops of the Gallatin Mountains walking about on the property. I hope to visit again soon!
