We have new bedding sets in the bedrooms and all bedding (sheets/comforters/blankets/duvet sets) is always washed between guest stays. Don’t settle for less staying elsewhere with bedding comforters and blankets that aren’t washed between groups.

We’re open all year and have a brand new Hot Springs hot tub. Watch the sunset from the hot tub and take in our inspiring Bridger mountain views.

Accommodating Getaway Location
A group of 6 of us came for a quick extended weekend trip for skiing and snowboarding at Bridger Bowl and this was the perfect place to stay! With a beautiful drive to the property, a quick drive back into town, and a scenic 25 minute drive to Bridger Bowl, this was the ideal location to stay! We were greeted with fresh cookies on the counter, a very clean home & a detailed optional itinerary. The hot tub was perfect to and our skiing days. We ate in town for dinner one night, grilled burgers another, and baked a casserole our last night. Kitchen was very well stocked with ingredients so stop and check what’s all available to use before doing any shopping. Would highly recommend this property for friends, and families of all ages to stay at!

Peaceful, relaxing, secluded country home close to airport and downtown
Bridger Mountain Bliss lives up to its name perfectly! Our family of four (2 teens) spent a fantastic week in this little piece of heaven. We loved that it was only a 15-minute drive to the Bozeman airport and downtown Bozeman, but the secluded country setting made it a perfect peaceful getaway. Sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine surrounded by the snow-capped mountains was so relaxing. We enjoyed feeding the sweet horses and snuggling outside by the fire pit. The house was perfect for our family, with one bedroom on the main floor and two King bedrooms upstairs for each of our daughters. The beds and bedding were comfortable, and the country decor was inviting. The large TV and sofa upstairs were a plus for all of us to watch movies as a family. We loved that each room had its own heat/AC controls - brilliant! The kitchen had plenty of room and amenities for us to cook Thanksgiving dinner and eat together on the large kitchen table. We were nervous about only one bathroom when we booked it, but the bathroom and shower were very large and we had no issues. We took advantage of Yellowstone tours, Big Sky skiing, fly fishing lessons, about a 1-hour drive, and nearby Alpaca farms. Walmart, Target, Costco, and other stores were a convenient 10-minute drive to get any quick groceries we needed. Edin and Melody were hospitable, gracious hosts. We will always cherish the memories we made this Thanksgiving in the cozy, clean, and comfortable Bridger Mountain Bliss home!

A real gem
I can't say enough good things about Bridger Mountain Bliss. The house is situated in a beautiful valley with the mountain range in full view. Super convenient to Bozeman restaurants, shopping and the airport. The hosts provided so much information on eateries, local events, hiking, horseback riding, fishing and more. There are even two adorable horses in the adjacent field to greet you! Close enough to do day trips from two separate entrances to Yellowstone National Park. There are many amenities provided that you rarely find in a rental property. So comfortable and welcoming. Simply a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Absolutely Amazing and Beautiful
It was our first time to Montana. We could not have been happier with our visit and stay. Such a clean and well maintained home. Edin and Melody were so helpful in answering questions and providing to do tips for our stay. We made wonderful family memories that we will cherish. The view of the Bridger Mountains is breath taking, a slice of heaven. After a few days of hiking to different peaks, the hot tub was a great way to relax.

The perfect getaway
This was exactly what my wife and I were looking for, a quiet, out of the way place that is perfect for recharging and reconnecting with your loved one. Melody and Edin were wonderful hosts and were there for anything we needed. The beds were fantastic! The most comfortable we've ever had at a vacation rental. We loved their hot tub too, nothing better than in an hot tub enjoying the Big Sky country as the sun sets! We would highly recommend this property to anyone.

My son and I loved our stay here. It is a beautiful property. The house is lovely and has everything you need. The hot tub is amazing. The neighbor horses are very sweet and will come to you if you stand by the fence. The view is incredible. It’s a quiet, peaceful setting but not far from town. Just perfect. Thank you so much to the owners. I’ll never forget my time in Montana heaven.

Great stay!
We had a great five night stay. Plenty of space for our family of 6 - beds were SO comfortable and so were the couches indoors and the patio furniture was nice, too! So fun to wake up to the horses - they were super friendly! We used the hot tub a bunch (so nice with awesome views of the sunset) and we used the grill (the kitchen is fully stocked!) The house is close to downtown Bozeman and there are endless things to do there, we also took a day to see Yellowstone National Park and it was about 90 minutes from the house. We loved our stay! We hope to return one day!

Great little home with everything you need!
The property was perfect for our family of 5 (grandpa, mom, dad and 2 young kids). Everyone had plenty of space and separation when needed. Bonus amenities were the hot tub, fully stocked kitchen and bathroom cabinets with useful supplies, and of course the views! It's a central location - only 15 minutes from the downtown Bozeman area as well as the airport, 30 minutes to Bridger Bowl, 1 hour to Big Sky and 2 hours to Yellowstone. We were able to do lots of activities each day and then get back to the house to relax without a ton of effort. Also loved the big kitchen table and the upstairs bar table, both used often for meals and card games! Owners kept up communication leading to our arrival and then checked in to make sure things were going well - they didn't bug us. Overall it was a clean, in a good location, and we would go back!

Relaxing location
The house was furnished with everything needed, which made the stay more enjoyable, as we didn't have to run to the store for random items. The hot tub with the amazing views was great after a day of adventures. The house had two air conditioners which allowed for the temperature to be right where we wanted it. The location is very good since it is close to Bozeman and some local hiking trails, but far enough out so that it is quiet. I recommend this house to anyone who wants to visit this area of Montana. Thanks Melody and Edin, we had a great time!

We stayed at The Roost for my sister’s graduation, and loved it. We would absolutely come back again. It was so fun to feed to horses, and wake up in the mountains. All we brought was clothes and toiletries. We will be back—hopefully one day. :)

Perfect getaway
This property was so peaceful and just a wonderful experience all together. The host Edin was so pleasant and very responsive with communication. I stayed here with three teenagers and they enjoyed the upstairs rooms as their own private space. Took a day trip to Yellowstone and enjoyed the early winter snow that fell. Took the hosts recommendations for several food places and enjoyed them all. The MAP Brewing company was especially good and loved the relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Edin & Melody Wells-Minthorn

Host profile image
We purchased our property here in Bozeman, Montana in October 2012. We are originally from Iowa City, Iowa. We took this family photo in our yard! The mountains surround our property with such beauty.

Why they chose this property

When we first looked at this property it had been vacant for 15 years, everything outside and inside the homes and barn were from 1987 and everything was BLUE..... Blue carpet, blue exteriors, blue countertops, blue and pink flower wallpaper, it was a blue nightmare. My husband is a carpenter so we couldn't pass up these breathtaking Bridger Mountain views! We decided to buy it and then we spent the next two years gutting both homes out and doing a complete remodel. The end result is just fabulous!

What makes this property unique

One of the things we appreciate most about our property (other than the breathtaking mountain views) is the peaceful country feel, yet we’re so close to town! Being only 6 miles from shopping, activities and restaurants in Bozeman makes this the perfect spot!
