Gallatin Gateway, originally founded as a sawmill town called Salesville, is a small peaceful and idyllic community halfway between the busy town of Bozeman and resort town Big Sky. This is an ideal home base for your Montana trip, as it sits at the mouth of scenic and historic Gallatin Canyon. Only 15 miles south of Bozeman International Airport, 14 miles from Bozeman, and 38 miles to Big Sky Mountain Resort. Gallatin Gateway is know for world class outdoor adventures from Ziplining, to whitewater rafting on the Gallatin River. There is a StreamLine Bus Stop at the Gallatin Gateway Inn, about 1/4 mile away, which can connect you to Bozeman (even as far as Livingston, Mt), Bozeman International Airport, and Big Sky Mountain Resort. However, it would be best to have or rent a vehicle. There are also shuttle services in the area. There are horses in the pasture to the west of the house. Occasionally the owners family will be staying in an RV in the next pasture over from the house.
