Riverbend Haven Estate | House in Big Sky

Summary:
Set on more than seven acres along the Gallatin River, this distinctive Big Sky estate pairs a three-bedroom River House with a two-bedroom Guest Cottage, creating space for families and friends to gather while retaining privacy. The property sleeps 11 and features two full kitchens, river and mountain views, a private hot tub, fireplaces, generous indoor gathering spaces, and separate outdoor areas—all within easy reach of Big Sky adventures and Yellowstone day trips.
The Space:
Riverbend Haven Estate is a two-home retreat designed for groups who want to spend time together without giving up personal space. The River House and Guest Cottage provide five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two kitchens, and comfortable accommodations for up to 11 guests.
THE RIVER HOUSE
The heart of the River House is its light-filled gathering space, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the Gallatin River and surrounding landscape. The adjoining living room features an oversized sectional, a stone gas fireplace, a large television, sound system, and vintage record player.
The well-equipped kitchen includes a gas range, double ovens, stainless-steel appliances, and generous preparation space. The dining table seats eight, with additional seating for three at the breakfast bar.
Two bedrooms are located on the main level: one with a king bed and one with a queen bed. These rooms share a full hallway bathroom with a rainfall shower.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a king bed, private bathroom with a dual vanity and rainfall shower, a workspace, balcony, wraparound closet, stained-glass details, and expansive views.
THE GUEST COTTAGE
The separate Guest Cottage gives a second family, grandparents, older children, or traveling companions their own place to unwind.
Its main level includes a full kitchen with a gas range and stainless-steel appliances, a comfortable living and dining area, television, and full bathroom. Both bedrooms are upstairs: one has a queen bed, while the second has a queen bed and a single window bench bed, as shown in the listing photos.
OUTDOOR LIVING
The estate’s outdoor spaces invite guests to slow down and enjoy the Montana setting. Relax in the private hot tub after a day of skiing or hiking, gather around the outdoor fire pits, or settle into the riverfront seating areas to take in the mountain and water views.
With two homes and several distinct gathering spaces, Riverbend Haven Estate is particularly well suited for extended families and groups traveling together.
Guest Access:
Guests have private use of the River House, Guest Cottage, private hot tub, patios, outdoor seating areas, and designated grounds, except for any clearly marked owner-locked or utility spaces.
Digital entry instructions will be provided 48 hours before arrival. Your reservation includes both homes, so you may park in the available driveway parking areas near either home. Keep the driveway clear for easy access. The garage is not available for guest parking; guests may access the trash bins inside as directed in the checkout instructions.
A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required during the winter. Guests must follow all posted instructions and seasonal restrictions when using the hot tub, fireplaces, grill, and outdoor fire pits.
The Neighborhood:
Riverbend Haven Estate sits on more than seven acres along the Gallatin River and approximately a 5–10-minute drive from Big Sky’s Meadow Village area. The ski area at Big Sky Resort is about 30 minutes away in normal conditions. Traffic and winter weather can extend these travel times. Its location provides a convenient base for skiing, hiking, biking, fly-fishing, and Yellowstone adventures while remaining within easy driving distance of Big Sky’s restaurants, shops, and services.
Guests can enjoy river and mountain views, generous outdoor space, and the privacy of a two-home estate. Because the property is located near Gallatin Road (Highway 191), passing traffic may occasionally be heard, particularly from the outdoor areas.
Getting Around:
A private vehicle is necessary for getting around Big Sky and exploring the surrounding area. The home is accessed from Gallatin Road and is not within practical walking distance of shops, restaurants, or the ski resort.
Guest parking is limited to the driveway; the garage is not available for parking. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required during winter. Appropriate winter tires are strongly recommended. Guests should monitor road and weather conditions and allow additional travel time during storms.
Our concierge team can also assist with airport transportation and rental-vehicle recommendations after booking.
Bridge access: The bridge leading to the property has size and weight restrictions. Cross one vehicle at a time, waiting until the vehicle ahead has fully cleared the bridge before entering. If you plan to arrive by shuttle, large passenger van, or another oversized vehicle, contact us before arranging transportation so we can confirm whether it is within the bridge’s limits.
Other Things to Note:
A few details to help you plan your stay:
Entire estate booking: Your reservation includes both the River House and Guest Cottage, with exclusive use of the guest amenities and designated grounds. Neither home will be rented to another group during your stay. Owner-locked and utility areas remain unavailable.
Two separate homes: The houses are connected by an outdoor walkway, making this setup ideal for gathering together while enjoying separate living spaces. Moving between the homes requires going outdoors.
Stairs and bathrooms: The River House’s primary suite is upstairs, with two additional bedrooms on the main level. Both Guest Cottage bedrooms are upstairs, while its one full bathroom is on the main level.
Road noise: The property is near Gallatin Road (Highway 191). Passing traffic may be audible, particularly outdoors.
