Rocky Creek Retreat

Welcome to Rocky Creek Retreat, a thoughtfully managed home by The Arrival Co. This property has been a highly rated short-term rental for the past five years and has welcomed many happy guests. The home is now under new management with The Arrival Co., which required a new listing and a fresh review history. Be sure to check out the listing photos for a look at reviews from previous guests.
Escape to 17 scenic acres where wild Rocky Creek winds naturally along the property edge, creating a peaceful setting for wildlife watching, quiet walks, and casting a fly. Just 5 minutes from downtown Bozeman, this beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom retreat features a chef`s kitchen, expansive views, and fly fishing out the front door, Bridger Bowl, Yellowstone, hiking, and everything the Gallatin Valley has to offer.

Just 5 minutes from downtown Bozeman, you`ll enjoy the feeling of being miles from everything while remaining close to restaurants, shopping, Montana State University, and year-round adventure.

Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its warm mountain character. Large picture windows bring the outdoors in, filling the home with natural light and beautiful views in every season.

The fully equipped chef`s kitchen features, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and everything needed to prepare meals after a day of exploring. Gather around the spacious island or enjoy dinner together at the rustic dining table before settling into the comfortable living room.

The home comfortably sleeps up to six guests across three inviting bedrooms:

Primary bedroom with a queen bed and private ensuite bathroom
Guest bedroom with a queen bed
Third bedroom with two twin beds

Step outside onto the spacious deck to enjoy your morning coffee, listen to the sounds of the creek, or unwind beneath Montana`s famous Big Sky after a day of fishing, skiing, hiking, or exploring Yellowstone National Park.

Whether you`re planning a family vacation, a fly-fishing trip, a ski getaway, or simply looking for a peaceful place to recharge, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and location.

One of our favorite features is what`s just beyond the property. A one-minute walk brings you to Rocky Creek Farm, a beloved local farm stand where, depending on the season, you can pick up fresh vegetables, farm eggs, local honey, flowers, apple cider, pumpkins, and other Montana-grown favorites. It`s a wonderful way to experience the Gallatin Valley like a local.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire home and the surrounding 17-acre property during their stay.

Spend your mornings exploring the grounds, enjoying the peaceful setting along Rocky Creek, watching for deer, birds, and other wildlife, or relaxing on the deck with expansive views of the surrounding landscape.

The property is intentionally left natural and undeveloped. While Rocky Creek runs through the property and is a wonderful place to explore or cast a fly, portions of the creek bank are uneven and not manicured, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

Please note:

The garage is reserved for owner use and is not available to guests.
The antique kitchen cookstove and living room wood stove are decorative and are not operational.

Located in the peaceful Kelly Canyon area, you`ll enjoy the best of both worlds quiet country living just minutes from downtown Bozeman.

Downtown Bozeman – 5 minutes
Montana State University – 10 minutes
Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) – 20 minutes

The Gallatin Valley is renowned for its blue-ribbon fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, rafting, wildlife viewing, and breathtaking scenery. Whether you`re visiting to explore Yellowstone, ski fresh powder, fish legendary rivers, or simply unwind in nature, this property provides an ideal home base.

Despite its close proximity to town, evenings here are remarkably peaceful. Listen to Rocky Creek flowing through the property, watch the stars fill Montana`s famous dark skies, and enjoy the tranquility that makes this retreat so special.
