Unless you’ve lived in the Bozeman area for quite awhile, you may not have heard of the old Gallatin Gateway Inn. Located at 74605 Gallatin Road in Gallatin Gateway, it closed its doors to the public in 2013. The building was recently leased to the prestigious Yellowstone Club, a private residential community in the area, for them to rent to employees.

The Gallatin Gateway Inn first opened on June 18, 1927.
