Hot springs
Steaming outdoor pools at Bozeman Hot Springs—just 11–12 minutes from the homes.
Few things beat a soak under the Montana sky—especially after a ski day. Two hot springs are within 50 minutes of the homes; two more make a great stop on a Paradise Valley or Yellowstone day.
Hours, dates and seasons change—please check current schedules with each business or event before you go.
