Perfect spot for our sibling reunion
Both the Cowboy Lake Lodge and working with Key Montana far surpassed our expectations. The lodge is even more impressive than the promotional pictures show, with plenty of room for all to have privacy and then gather together for games or meals, inside or outside. Attention to decor is impressive, along with the array of kitchen conveniences. At first I was looking for a place along a river or in a wooded area, but the vista from the lodge gives a whole new understanding of Big Sky.
As we had no prior experience with a rental property, we weren’t sure how helpful or accommodating Key Montana might be, but we were thrilled with the friendly way they answered questions promptly and made us feel truly special, even when I was clueless about the key code entry procedure.
Our stay was enhanced by the proximity to Chico Hot Springs and the town of Emigrant. A longer stay might have included rafting or fishing the Yellowstone or driving to Yellowstone Park, but we were happy to get wonderful pastries from the Wildflour Cafe one morning, to explore Chico and all it has to offer, and to conclude our visit with dinner at the Chico dining hall.- Anonymous , Posted: 8/13/2024We loved getting to know you Eunice and are so glad that you and your family had such a lovely stay.

Family Vacation
Our family had an AMAZING time at the Cowboy Lodge in Montana! We made so many wonderful cherished memories that we will hold in our hearts forever! I actually booked this property through Key Montana and they were a complete joy to work with and I look forward to working with them in the future! I don’t understand why anyone would book through VRBO or Home Away when you can get such personal and AMAZING service with Brooke and Deena at Key Montana! Thanks again ladies for a job well done!- Anonymous , Posted: 6/27/2024We loved hosting you all! Please come back and visit us again anytime!- Key Montana staff, Posted:
Family Vacation to Livingston/Yellowstone
This was our first trip to Montana and we loved it! The house was amazing and the views were breath taking. There was 9 of us total and had more then enough room in the house. We spent our days at Yellowstone and evenings in the garage playing ping pong! Thank you for a great first trip to Montana, we will definitely be back!- Anonymous , Posted: 6/1/2024We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us!

We felt right at home at Cowboy Lake Lodge. The home is surrounded with breathtaking views and was extremely spacious for 10 of us. The vaulted ceiling with the hard wood trusses and the fireplace with a gorgeous Mountain View will set the bar high for your Yellowstone experience. The cleanliness of the home highly exceeded our expectations and the check-in process was smooth! We wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else -- It is truly an exceptional home!- Anonymous , Posted: 3/4/2024
Enjoyable stay! Beautiful place!- Anonymous , Posted: 1/7/2024
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! Close to Chico Hot Springs, Yellowstone, river float -- although the pond near the home is reason enough not to want to leave! Home has everything you need, and the view is fantastic.- Anonymous , Posted: 8/9/2023
Cowboy Lake lodge was such an amazing place to stay and call "home base" for our family's week vacation in Montana. There was plenty of space for the 10 of us. The home was clean and everything noted in the listing. The view of Emigrant Peak is unbelieveable. Nice neighborhood with nice neighbors who gave us awesome suggestions regarding things to do and see.- Anonymous , Posted: 7/29/2023
