Enticing You to Come Out and Play

*Soulfully huddling together on a magic dog sledding ride,jingle belling through a winter wonderland with the Absarokee Dog Sledding Company
*Courageously braving your adventurous spirit and soaking and showering in Boiling River
Freely feeling these flowing fiery fountains from the depth of Mother Earth warming you while her surface is embraced by a thick blanket of snow and frost in the heart of winter
*Taking your time (and your camera!) on a old-fashion coach ride through the Park all the way to
Old Faithful!
*Touring leisurely through Lamar Valley the best winter wildlife watching route (the only route open in winter in the Park). You might spot wolves, coyotes, buffaloes and here and there a sneaking fox.
*Finding yourself pleasantly surprised at the end of this route at the sight of Cooke City,
A tucked away old-western mountain village where you can rest your horse (o,sorry..park your snowmobile or car}slurp some hearty winter soups and be ready for the trip back.

In just about 5 minutes you can be down at the Yellowstone river - fishing, rafting, or swimming at the little “beach” by the Emigrant

Our FIRE PIT, tucked away in a CANYON just steps from the house and second TEPEE, offer enchanting evening CAMPFIRES.
Indoors, most tend to gather around the dining table for it offers a spectacular panoramic view of the mountains.

Why the Owner Chose Paradise Valley
The property really choose us. It was a perfect match. we were looking for mountains, wilderness, beauty, lots of space, a comfortable and cozy family home, sheltered garden, dramatic views and all this close to the magic of Yellowstone National Park. It is a central point between Bridger Ski Resort and Yellowstone Park. And here we are one half hour away from the Yellowstone National Park and an hour away from Bozeman, an bustling university town with its cultural and natural diversities. Not to forget to mention Historic downtown Livingston(half hour away), an eclectic gallery paradise with its eateries, breweries and wine cellars.
Our children grew up with weekly hot springs visits ( 8 minutes away), bridge jumping and floating the Yellowstone River.( 5 minutes away) But most of all they lived daily with the wildlife wonders of a mini Yellowstone Park that covered and adjoined our 20+ acres of Paradise Mountain Retreat.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The property is situated at a precise midpoint in Paradise valley minutes from premium elk and deer public land hunting grounds. Minutes away from prime fishing on Yellowstone River. 30 Minutes away from North entrance to Yellowstone Park with access to Lamar Valley for prime prime winter wildlife viewing and cross country skiing among the geysers in Mammoth Hot Springs. The Paradise Mountain Retreat is Heaven for young and old. It always surpasses everyone's expectations.It is ideal for large groups but still cozy and intimate for a couples' getaway and for small families. It is a Real Home away from Home with enough room and space, inside as well as outside for everyone to be happy. The gourmet cooks enjoy the fully equipped gourmet kitchen, the teenagers can't wait to explore the cliffs and canyons, the younger children kick off their shoes and run out unto the lawn exploring the tepee and discovering the dug in trampoline hidden by a a circle of green bushes and then run to the swing set.They will find a family of deer or rabbits somewhere hidden close by. Moms enjoy a quiet moment in the hammock under the trees. I will not forget to mention the views from artistically placed picture windows in the house, the stillness that speaks peacefully day and night, the starry skies adored from a soothing hot tub after a day of exploring The Yellowstone National park. The house is for rent by itself, however, if you need more space we have an attached apartment available as well. Tenters are welcome also.

Owner's Map of Paradise Valley
Pouwel and Miriam Gelderloos, are immigrants from the old country The Netherlands. After many adventures and travels they pitched their tent Montana situated in the Paradise Valley 30 minutes North of Yellowstone National Park. They were fortunate to purchase our own 5 bedroom Paradise Mountain Retreat to raise their 8 children, spoiling them with wildlife, caves, cliffs, canyons, storytelling by campfires with for background music the hooting owls, cooing doves, twitter of songsbirds and... the whispering winds.....
Miriam is a former teacher and Pouwel is a builder/designer. His recent finished project is the Oasis Hybrid Home. Pouwel and Miriam are currently living in this innovative , energy efficient and self sustainable eco-home. They are truly living the future now and generate their own energy completely independent from the grid. Because of living our dream at our Oasis Hybrid Home, the Paradise Mountain Retreat is now available as a vacation rental,to share its countless bounty and blessings with kindred spirits.

August 2, 2008 Thanks for everything! The house exceeded our expectations. We had 11 people, including 4 children and a couple of younger teens. The yard with the swing set, trampoline, hot tub, fire pit and sitting areas could not have been more ideal for our group. What a great setting! Weather was perfect all week. We enjoyed a few trips to Yellowstone, went white water rafting, drove to Beartooth Mountain highway and rented a boat on Hebgen Lake. We had an awesome time! Thanks again
