Our estate, PARADISE MOUNTAIN RETREAT, is situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Montana's spectacular Paradise Valley, only a half hour north of world famous Yellowstone National park. Our mountain home makes an ideal setting for small family reunions, friend gatherings, group vacations, weddings, workshops, and corporate retreats, to name a few. Since this is our first season as a vacation rental,we have completely updated our home: new kitchen with granite counters, new flooring, carpets, beds, bedding, rooms beautifully painted and furnished and added an abundance of necessities to make you feel at home. We are pleased to say that to date, the common comment from guests is that pictures cannot portray the true beauty of our estate. From two to twelve people, our door is open. (Talk to us about accommodating more than 12 people.) We start you out with complementary day passes to Chico Hot Springs.
Paradise Valley is called God's country for a reason: you can taste the spirit of nature by merely stepping out the door and onto our beautiful wrap-around deck...or hiking various trails on our 20 acres of wilderness property. You will have the opportunity to discover hidden caves, canyons, and wildlife - all the infinite beauty and secrets Mother Earth has to offer. Our guests consistently express their surprise over the beauty of our home and its magnificent setting.
Experience the magic of a starry night from our ozone filtered hot tub. Enjoy birds at the feeders, deer on the lawn, our summer garden (and greenhouse) replete with colorful flowers, or picturesque Emigrant Peak as you dine or relax on the deck. Our fire pit, tucked away in a canyon just steps from the house and second tipi, offer enchanting evening campfires.
Indoors, most tend to gather around the dining table for it offers a spectacular panoramic view of the mountains. People also gravitate to the wood-burning stove on a cool night, or on the second-floor balcony which overlooks the beautiful kitchen with marble-topped counters and provides even more spectacular views of the mountains.
Whether relaxing at our estate or taking day trips in the area, you will find our community friendly, safe, and scenic. Paradise Valley is aptly named. That's why film makers gravitate to the region. In fact, two movies shot in the area are: "A River Runs Through It" and "The Horse Whisperer." PHONE or EMAIL US to see additional photos of Paradise Mountain Retreat and area on our Kodak photo album site.
The Gelderloos embrace green living and a sustainable future to the extent that Pouwel, a contractor who has built many homes and commercial properties in the area, has recently completed a long-time dream (OASIS), his first "off-the-grid" home. With these changing times, rising fuel costs and such, alternative energy is fast becoming mainstream. Visit Pouwel and Miriam's OASIS hybrid home. (Tours are welcomed.) It's a unique experience unto itself and minutes away from Paradise Mountain Retreat.
