About Us and Fox Hollow Inn...

A place we love, and a place we're proud to share.

Fox Hollow isn't just a place we rent to travelers. It's a place our family has called home—and a place we've had the privilege of sharing with guests from around the world for nearly 30 years. We're Jessica and Steven Hunter. We met while studying at Montana State University in Bozeman, and our lives have been shaped by the people, places, and adventures we've found here in Montana. When we discovered Fox Hollow on Mary Road, we knew we'd found something special. Today, we're raising our family while continuing a tradition of welcoming travelers to this little corner of the Gallatin Valley. Our goal is simple: to give you a comfortable, beautiful place to stay while you experience Montana for yourself.

From a Bed & Breakfast to a Montana Home Base

Fox Hollow originally operated as a beloved Bozeman bed and breakfast for more than 20 years.

Over the years, the way people travel has changed, and so has Fox Hollow. While we no longer operate as a traditional B&B, we've kept the parts that mattered most: comfortable spaces, thoughtful hospitality, personal attention, and a genuine connection to the place we call home.

Today, Fox Hollow offers private vacation rental accommodations for couples, families, friends, and larger groups.

You can have the privacy and independence of your own space, while still knowing there's a local family behind the property who cares about your experience.

We Love Montana. We Think You Will, Too.

One of the best things about living here is that there's always something new to discover.

We spend our time hiking, exploring back roads and hidden corners of Montana, watching wildlife, enjoying the rivers and mountains, and taking part in the local community. We love finding a new trail, a favorite fishing spot, a great local restaurant, or a place our guests haven't heard about yet.

And that's one of our favorite parts of hosting: helping people experience more than just the usual Montana highlights.

Come for Yellowstone, skiing, MSU, a family gathering, or a few days in Bozeman. Then give yourself time to slow down and notice the Montana that's right outside your door.

Why We Do This

We know that where you stay becomes part of your trip.

It's where you have your first coffee in the morning. Where the kids unwind after a day of exploring. Where you gather around the table after skiing. Where you soak in the hot tub and look toward the mountains. Where you come back after a long day in Yellowstone and finally put your feet up.

Those moments matter to us.

That's why we work hard to keep Fox Hollow clean, comfortable, welcoming, and continually improving. We want you to feel cared for without feeling crowded—and at home without giving up the feeling that you're somewhere special.

A Little Montana. A Lot of Heart.

Fox Hollow is family-owned, locally operated, and rooted in the Bozeman community.

We're fortunate to welcome guests from Montana and from all over the country and the world. Some stay once. Many come back. And some have become friends along the way.

Whether you're here for a weekend or settling in for a longer Montana adventure, we're glad you found us.

Welcome to Fox Hollow.

Birdwatching & Wildlife at Fox Hollow

Spring in Montana begins for some birds in late February. As the Spring progresses, waves of our feathered friends make their migration through Bozeman. Some stay on, as Bozeman really is the best place in Montana. Some move on. Each morning greets you with the beautiful songs of the Robin, courting his partner. As the day goes on, the Finches and Chickadees then join in and the back yard begins to sound like a jungle. The back deck offers a wonderful spot to view all the action. And the birds really don’t seem to mind. 

With the mature tree lined walkways and the acres of room at the end of the road, the wildlife enjoy the food from the gardens and the landscaping through most of the year. Some mornings begin with coffee and the sounds of life in the gardens enjoying their stay at Fox Hollow!

March also brings us the Bald Eagle migration. Most pass through, but a few do stay around to fish the trout infested waters throughout the valleys. Those sleepy ground squirrels just emerging from a long winters nap are also a favorite of the Eagles. Just down the road are some excellent bird watching locations you can get to quickly! 

A couple of rare birds…

From Bluebirds to white bellied Blue Warblers, some of the comings and going of these fast little creatures are too quick to document. A rare bird which has frequented our bird houses for many years has been a white-headed Sparrow. This little bird looks like a miniature Bald Eagle.

Just a partial list of our fine feathered friends which visit Fox Hollow throughout the year include the Robins, Juncos, Black-capped and Mountain Chickadees, Tree Swallows, Sparrows, Flickers, Downey Woodpeckers, House and Cassin's Finches, Goldfinches, Tanagers, Partridges, Doves, including a new arrival, the Collared Dove, Grackles, Red-winged Blackbirds, Grosbeaks and an occasional Meadowlark. Raptors such as the Red-tail and Rough-legged Hawks are always present, sometimes circling to dizzying heights and then diving at incredible speeds. The Coopers Hawk sits motionless in a bush waiting for an unsuspecting songbird. Nature's way. 

Deer friends… of course they are just around for the snacks. 

At times the yard has looked like a Disney movie with a wide array of birds, white-tail deer, bunnies, pheasants and partridges all feeding in harmony.

(Please don't ever approach the wildlife. Any of the wildlife. Photos of the deer are taken with a powerful zoom from the house.) 

The occaisional black bear has been sighted in the area, it's important to be bear aware and wildlife aware. You'll see plenty of wildlife and get great views on your travels through Yellowstone National Park or Glacier National Park. There's plenty to see while maintaining a safe distance. Visit the links above to view updated park and visitor information as well as some rich Montana history!

And if you're lucky, 

You may get to see the Red Fox out hunting in the field or slinking through the back trees.
