A River really does run through it!
https://youtu.be/z4ROlTQylW4
A river does not simply border this place—it defines it. Crooked Canyon Lodge rises between Bozeman and Big Sky along the wild heart of the Gallatin River, where the canyon carves through stone and shadow beneath Storm Castle Peak. Here, the river is not just a view; it is a living force at your doorstep, bending around the property and shaping both land and legend.Step outside to your private stretch of the Gallatin, winding like a silver vein of life. At the end of a simple walking path lies world-class trout water, where every cast feels like a scene from a long-awaited story. This is exclusive access to a river that captivates anglers worldwide.At the center stands a stunning 3,501 sqft custom lodge, designed for gatherings and relaxation. It features four bedrooms and additional sleeping spaces in the den and loft, with 3.5 baths—including a master suite with dual sinks and a pebble-floor shower. The master bedroom offers a king bed and deck access, along with the soothing sounds of the river below. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a loft share a generous bath, while a bunk room awaits laughter and fishing adventures.The kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry. The dining table seats ten, perfect for evening gatherings, while an outdoor grill awaits steaks and trout beneath the Montana sky.Just steps away is a classic 1940s 2,280 sq ft cabin—a timeless retreat with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a loft for extra guests. Nearby, a rustic bunkhouse features a wood-burning stove and private deck hover over the river's current. Mornings begin with wood smoke and rushing water, while nights end under a sky filled with stars.This is the very stretch of the Gallatin where iconic fishing scenes from “A River Runs Through It” were filmed, capturing cinematic grandeur in every bend and riffle. Crooked Canyon Lodge is not just riverfront real estate; it's a stage for a life lived outdoors—a vast slice of Southwest Montana.Perched at 5,000 feet, the lodge spans two tracts and about 4 acres, with Gallatin National Forest nearby. An hour’s drive leads to West Yellowstone, the gateway to Yellowstone National Park. In this meeting place of river, forest, and sky, fishing, skiing, and exploration are a way of life. For those who desire more than a view—who want to stand at the edge of a legendary river—Crooked Canyon Lodge is not merely a property waiting to be claimed.
