Point of View - Your Yellowstone River Year Round Vacation Rental Home
Location: Paradise Valley, Yellowstone, Montana, USA (20 Miles South of Livingston, MT.) View Map
Accommodations: Single Family Home, 3 Bedrooms + Sunroom, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
Poised high above the Yellowstone River with stunning views of both the river and the mountains, the Point of View House is very aptly named. Here you can relax and refresh enjoying the beauty of the mountains and The Yellowestone River while lounging in the sunlight and watching the floaters, fishermen, and wildlife play in the river.
The 3 bedroom, 2 bath house has an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. The fabulous sun porch has additional dining facilities and a large cushioned built-in bench just perfect for that afternoon snooze or sleeping the kids. A hammock next to the house provides the perfect location for a nap or reading a book
Walk, or drive if you prefer, down the winding path to the private river frontage where you can picnic under the big cottonwood tree, pitch horse shoes, play ladder golf, or easily launch your boat or raft.
Point of View is avilable as an all season rental. Fishing is great in the spring, summer and fall, hunting opportunities abound in the fall and cross country skiing opportunities are near by in the Absoroka Mountains. Hike in the Gallatin, Crazy and Absaroka Mountain Ranges. The opportunity to relax and watch the bald eagles, deer, white pelicans and the river flow by exists all year long.
All this and end-of-the-road privacy too. There are no neighbors to the East, South or West and one great one to the North.
Point of View is located just 35 miles north of the Mammouth Hot Springs Entrance to Yellowstone Park (America's First National Park). Visit the Boiling River, see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Fly fish in the Parks Rivers, Hike the mountain trails, Look for bears, deer, elk, moose, bald eagles, mountain goats, and lots of other wild life.
This is a great sight for a summer wedding. We had one here this past summer and the bride and groom loved the idea of being married right next to this historic river. WOW! Another wedding is scheduled for August. Book yours now.
If you do not want to cook, Chico Hot Springs with their 4 star restaurant is just 5 miles away. They also have an old saloon, hot springs for swimming and soaking, snack bar, horse back riding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking opportunities abound.

Map & Owner's Profile
Fly Fish, Picnic, Swim and Float the River from Your Yard
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Paradise Valley
Our son, Paul, wanted to purchase a home in Montana. We joined in the purchase with him. We fell in love with this home and its location on the Yellowstone River.
The Unique Benefits at this Single Family Home
You can fly fish from the river bank, swim (life preservers recommended) play horseshoes, float the river in a tube, boat, raft or life preserver, picnic or just relax and watch the river flow by. Deer use the 800 acre undeveloped land next door to the south as a river crossing. There is a bald eagle that fishes and patrols the river. White pelicans float downstream often.
Owner's Map of Paradise Valley
My wife Pat and I spent 24 years in the U.S. Army. After we retired we moved to Bozeman, MT to be closer to the grandkids. We are RVers who love to travel. We spend our summers in Montana and our winters in Key West, Florida
