Oz West consists of 2 master suites joined together by a Jack and Jill master en-suite as well as 3 additional bedrooms and 2 additional bathrooms.

From the sun room the guest has access to the hot tub room which features a 6 person hot tub and excellent views of Dome Mountain and Electric Peak to the south.
The house also features a fully stocked kitchen with all the utensils and appliances needed to provide a nice dinner at home for your family. The dining room has enough table space for 8 but can accommodate up to 12 people if necessary. The dining room also features a wall-mounted flat screen T.V. for those sports fanatics that can't get away from the game.
If these amenities weren't enough the house features a two-tiered, 1600 sqft. deck that has 2 covered portions as well as an open portion that provides a multi-range of outdoor experiences. In addition to the massive deck, the property features an organic garden stocked with the fruit and vegetables that best grow at this elevation. The property is also home to a small orchard featuring some of the finest organic fruit grown at this elevation so if you time it right you can walk out in the orchard and pick some fresh fruit from our trees. The garden is accessible to all guests that wish to take advantage of having fresh grown fruit and vegetables. We only ask that you save some for those that come after so that they may enjoy this unique feature as well

Bozeman is home to the local airport which operates as an international airport providing access to the area for the thousands of people wanting to visit our parks and ski-resorts. If you enjoy museums then Bozeman is the place for you as Montana's most famous museum the Museum of the Rockies, located at Montana State University in Bozeman is a unique place to explore Montana's history both prehistoric as well as more recent. Shoppers can also have their field day by either visiting the Gallatin Valley Mall or visiting the many boutique shops and restaurants that are the core of this unique mountain town. Bozeman also provides the visitor with additional recreational choices as it is home to two public golf courses as well as skiing, with Bridger Bowl Ski Area and Big Sky being so close.
Oz West is unique because it lies within a reasonable drive from all of these awesome opportunities.
