Wonderful place and location. The horses outside were fun for the kids. The scenery amazing. The house had everything we needed. Thanks for a great place to stay.
This property was perfect for our family getaway. Secluded, incredible views, perfect for star and wildlife viewing. Properly appointed. Had a wonderful time and would book again.
The setting is amazing. Complete seclusion from all sound and light pollution. Amazing views of mountains. If you like elevation and seclusion, this is the place.
Home was very well stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, and paper products. Very clean on arrival. Easy check in. Very private location. Owner was easily available for any needs. The only negative was the drive up the mountain to get there.
The location and condition of this property is awesome. It is high up in the mountains, with an adventurous drive up and down, but well worth it. It is peaceful and secluded, with beautiful views and wildlife all around, but also mid-way between Yellowstown/Gardiner and Bozeman, so it allows you to easily relax after enjoying a long day of activities. The house is very clean, easily accommodated a family of four and had everything we wanted, I would definitely stay here again if visiting Montana/Yellowstone.
We much enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the elk meander up in the mountains. It would have been nice to have a heads-up notification that the bridge was out on the road that we needed to go down off the highway. We arrived close to dark and getting to the ranch is not easy, but having to figure out how to navigate the closed road made it more difficult.
The home is well off the beaten path on a Forest Service road. It is private and secluded, without a neighbor n sight of the property. The views from the house and porch are absolutely amazing. It takes about 20 minutes to drive up from Route 89, and is well worth it. At the base of the mountain on 89 is the Yellowstone River, where we met our guide for a fantastic fly fishing float. The park is a short drive away also. We also took time to explore the various service roads into the Gallatin Nat'l Forest, where we even saw a pair of Grizzly Bears (the host provided bear spray) in a field.
The wild life, scenery, and the house itself was amazing. There were also three horses on the property that would venture right by the porch each morning.
We could not be happier with our stay!

Great Place - Bad Location
The house was fine, and loved the welcome book. Unfortunately, it's also up an 8 mile unpaved, gravel road. Unless you're in an SUV, don't do it. Also, the driving directions provided by the property were incorrect. The bridge washed out 2+ years ago, so I'm not sure why we were told to use a non existent bridge. The property is a good 30-40 minutes away from either town for dinner....up and down that gravel switchback road, where 15mph is a top speed. But other than that... a pretty view
If you are looking for privacy and Amazing views, this place is perfect! The host was very good at responding to all of our questions. The house is very well stocked. Be prepared for a little warmth in the house if it gets hot outside. We are from SC so at least there's not the humidity! It's not unbearable but with no AC it can warm up. There's a nice breeze so that helps. The nights do cool down so that's good. There's a river way down below, so that makes some scenic sound when sitting on the deck. We never had a problem with WIFI. The house was easy to find but the description of the location does not mention how BUMPY the road to the house is! It's not super steep (we've stayed at some mountain homes that were scary to drive up.) so that was not an issue. It's about a 20 minute drive, maybe a little less, from the main road to the house. The road honestly kept us from leaving the house to go into Livingston or Gardner to shop or have dinner. We drove it down and back once a day. We were visiting Yellowstone for the first time and the house was about 20 minutes from the North Entrance after you are back on the main road. So that was nice. We shopped in Livingston for groceries on our way to the house the first day as was recommended by the host. There is a small grocery store in Gardner if you forget something. Overall, the house was great for getting to and from Yellowstone and Great for privacy and mountain views.
This property is off the beaten path BUT it is worth every single second (15-20 minutes due to a bridge washed out secondary to a recent flood). We arrived after dark so we could not see the beauty until the next morning. When we walked up the stairs, there is a huge window that revealed the beautiful views this property. It was entertaining to watch each member of our group gasp as the views came into sight. No picture can do the beauty and vastness of the views any justice.
The property was very clean and well maintained, kitchen well stocked, owner more than willing to answer questions and suggest things to do, everything was as described.
Our group consisted of my husband and I (ages 53 and 59) and our 2 children with their significant other (ages 21-24). The home was very comfortable and plenty roomy for our group. Being from the south, I was quite concerned about no a/c because we visited mid-June. However, we had no problems and actually became cool some evenings with windows open and the properties strong ceiling fans. We had no trouble with cell service although none of us felt the need to be on our phones with beauty that surrounded us. Our trip to Montana and the beautiful property was even more than we were all expecting!
Many core memories were created during our stay. My family was in awe of the scenery, the sound of the water below, the horses, and the hammock all before we even entered the house. Upon entering, forgetting that houses in MT don't usually have a/c, we made ourselves as comfortable as possible in the current heat wave. Thankfully, fans were provided along with advice on when to open/close windows. We (or rather, my teen) realized that our cell service was non-existent. I assumed that wifi would be present but upon further investigation, it was not listed as an amenity but was offered for an additional cost in the welcome notebook. While tempting, we chose to forego the connection (shhh, don't tell my kids 😜) and accepted the off-grid challenge. It did not disappoint! Our first night there, we star-gazed and got to see a shooting star! Other nights we roasted smores over the propane firepit. Having the bear spray provided made us feel safer as well. Additionally, much to my delight, the Anne of Green Gables movie from the 80s was on-hand and I got to share one of my childhood faves with my family. I hadn't seen that movie in 25+ years and I recognized a large similarity between Anne and my youngest. We met the hostess, Danyalle, when her and hubs came to fill the horse's water trough. She gave us permission to feed them carrots! Beds were comfy and spice cabinet was well stocked (Old Bay!). Note: Due to a washed-out bridge, it now takes approx. 45 minutes to get to Gardiner.
We loved our stay! The home had everything we needed and communication was excellent! The views were so beautiful and well worth the drive up and down the mountain road to get there!

Awesome mountain home with breathtaking views!So serene and relaxing, we didn’t want to leave.Fire pit in the evenings was so cozy.Stargazing in big sky country is the best!
This was an awesome place to stay. Very clean and had all the amenities you would ever need. The views are spectacular! Great communication with host. Would highly recommend staying here!!
The property was just what we wanted. It’s smart and clean. Although the location is a little remote, it worked well for us and is perfect for visiting Emigrant, Livingston and Yellowstone National Park.The views from the property are stunning.We would definitely stay here again
Beautiful home with views to take your breath away. The open living and kitchen area was fantastic. The only drawback to this home was the long and bumpy dirt road to get there.
Beautiful cabin! Gorgeous view! We saw deer and elk on each trek to Yellowstone; however the road to the cabin was difficult to navigate because of it’s many, deep potholes. We were very thankful to have rented a 4x4 truck because I do not believe a sedan could’ve handled it.
House was very nice, love the quiet location after a long day in Yellowstone with lots of people. Well-stocked kitchen, which we used for several dinners. I loved sitting on the deck listening to the forest and nearby creek. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Friendly and polite!Be aware of the 3 mile gravel road - it wasn't a big deal to us since we are used to lots of types of backroads and had rented a suburban, but you'll definitely want a vehicle that doesn't sit low to the ground.If we come back to the area, I would definitely rent the house again!
