A quiet place to rest after a day among the pines โ where the Gallatin Range rises above you and the only thing rushing by is the wind through the trees.
The Lodge at Little Bear sits on the edge of Gallatin Gateway, where the valley opens up and the mountains press in. We're not trying to impress anyone with marble lobbies or room service โ we're offering something simpler.
A clean room, a warm bed, and a front porch that looks out toward the range. Whether you're passing through on the way to Yellowstone or settling in for a weekend of fly fishing and forest trails, this is your basecamp.
