Loved the room and view. Quiet and relaxing with an amazing restaurant!
What a beautiful setting for a great small fishing lodge in Bozeman Montana. The restaurant is first rate, the rooms are western comfy and they have a wonderful continental breakfast left in your room to snack on.
What an amazing place to stay! It was a perfect winter wonderland. The rooms are incredible, the lodge was gorgeous and everything was perfect. We recommend this place as a perfect couple get away-or for any reason! We cannot wait to return.
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and only wished we could have stayed longer. Lodge and the surroundings were beautiful. Even had an opportunity to cast a line in the pond and sat outside our room in the evening and watched the wildlife. The restaurant was closed due to a boiler issue but Max was a great host and provided us recommendations for dinner. Close to the airport was another big plus. Hope to have the opportunity to stay here again.
Extremely nice staff and relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast basket was perfect for early morning to airport..The lodge is decorated for a perfect destination and its not far from airport but still countryside.
I love that it's a boutique property with lot's of personalized touches. Staff was amazing, love the fireplace and jacuzzi tub in the room, and the views. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This was such a lovely place to stay! The breakfast provided was amazing, the bed was so comfortable and it was so quiet and peaceful. My room had a pond view and saw some animals too. Highly recommend.

The Hotel was gorgeous and quiet with wildlife around. The staff were friendly and super helpful. And the restaurant attached is truly amazing and very tasty. The only thing I was disappointed by was that they said breakfast was included but it was not a hot meal, it was little breakfast items included in the fridge. But they did give us a good recommendation for a hot breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
The Lodge was absolutely wonderful.
Rooms were comfortable-clean- and super quiet. There is a restaurant on site. Due to our schedule, we were unable to dine there, but given the number of people there on a weekday night - it must be very good.
There are also XC trails on site for winter visitors.
Beautiful location, outstanding customer service. Cross country skiing onsite. The Bar/dining room staff and food were incredible. I felt like a queen with all of the luxuries in my room, including a complimentary bottle of champagne. This will always be my first choice when I'm looking for a place to stay near Bozeman.
Staying at gallatin river lodge was an outstanding experience for our family of three. We enjoyed the peace of the property while being able to easily access MSU, downtown Bozeman and the ski mountain. Staff here was very friendly and helpful. We ate dinner the first night at the restaurant. The food was excellent, atmosphere conducive to conversation and service responsive. The in room amenities were outstanding as well with nespresso offered and also a basket
Filled with solid breakfast items. Their in house granola was excellent. We highly recommend a stay at GRL.
Stunning property and fairly convenient to downtown Bozeman. Friendly staffand good proactive communication via text. Some of the property features are off limits to guests (fire pit) which was a little off putting. The room we had was nice but not quite up to what I’d expect from the cost. A shade in the only window was broken rendering the window dark.
This was a nice place. If you like peace & quiet & not much to do, this is your place! Very comfortable bed but pillows too puffy for us. We would have liked a microwave though. Excellent staff, extremely friendly!
