Wonderful location. Great family bonding. We all did our own things from a day trip to Yellowstone as a family, Glacier national park, Livingston rodeo, parade, gourmet dining downtown, horse back rides through the mountains and the Lewis and Clark caverns. We loved relaxing in the deck and ate many family dinners in the large kitchen. Would love to come back. Thanks for all the wonderful memories. The tepee was a hit too!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, families with young children, adventure seekers.

Aspen Hill retreat was everything we expected from the photographs and more. Throughout our two-month stay we had many guests who were equally impressed with Aspen Hill Retreat, Livingston, and Bozeman. We had such a wonderful time we are renting again next year and will probably have to turn away return guests. The home is spacious and comfortable with everything provided. The setting is lovely and tranquil. Surrounded by wildlife and natural beauty, guests can hike the area or enjoy sitting on the porch, enjoying the dry, sunny days and crisp evenings. Fishing and horseback riding are nearby. The restaurants are great in Livingston: Montana Rib and Chop House; 2nd Street Bistro and Paradise Valley grill, gourmet; the Beanery for breakfast. Main St. is great to shop for clothes, art, and basic western wear. The feed store on the way out of town has a great boutique. The bakery in Emigrant has the best bread, ever. It's closed on Sunday and Monday. A meal at the Grande Hotel in Big Timber and a walk downtown is fun. Too many scenic sidetrips to take in for a two-month stay.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

We drove down from the prairies in Canada to relax & enjoy some very different mountain scenery, and we were not disappointed! The house & surrounding area are both beautiful and serene. We did day trips to Yellowstone, the Crazy Mountains, & the Bozeman area. We saw everything from Bison to elk, hawks, and deer. We trekked around the 'neighborhood' as well, Mostly we only saw a deer family around the house. The hummingbirds were quite entertaining on the deck, drinking from the feeder and occasionally thinking one of us was a flower(bright shirt). There was one big storm overnight - buckets of hail. We felt very safe in the house. In the morning it looked as though it had snowed, as the hail still laid in accumulated piles around the house. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful home! We enjoyed your mountain retreat immensely! Kim, Doug & Daisy (dog) (Copied from the guest book)Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This is a beautiful cabin in beautiful surroundings! We've really enjoyed our stay here - only wish it were longer. A few deer came by to visit and on the first day we saw a bear! Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home. Hopefully we come back.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

What an incredibly beautify house this is! Very warm and homey; the children adored it. Bozeman is a fantastic place to which we hope to return. No moose or bears but we did have snakes and a small band of deer. Thank you!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Had a blast at this fabulous retreat. What a haven up here in the hills. The cabin is beautiful and more than ample for all of us. While the fishing wasn't as fruitful as we may had hoped (lots of rain this year so the river was still high), the tales will be long-lasting. Thanks for making our vacation a memorable one at Aspen Hill. Back to the Grind.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We very much enjoyed your lovely home for the week we spent in Montana. We enjoyed kayaking the Yellowstone and Gallatin Rivers. We met my cousin from AZ and his family one day in Butte, since they were visiting a daughter and son-in-law in Victor. Enjoyed the history of Butte and visiting the Copper King Mansion and Berkley Pit. We went to Ennis one day and Virginia City and Nevada City-very interesting history. Many good memories. Thank you for sharing your Montana home with us.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our family came to celebrate our oldest son's marriage on Sunday, 26 August at the Springhill Pavilion in Belgrade. We ranged in age from Gramps at 81 to our sweet little granddaughter Brooke, 7 months. We have enjoyed your home and were amazed at how well equipped it was. Our time was busy with stag parties, dinner for the bride and her friends, rehearsal dinner and the beautiful wedding-we only wish we had more time to just sit on the porch and relax.Did you find this review helpful?

This is the first time on one of our family reunions when we have all been able to share the same house. We are glad to report the experiment was a success! The house was so comfortable and well appointed. We spent lots of time cooking, eating, laughing and playing poker. Lots of money exchanged hands again and again. We visited Yellowstone, Virginia City, Nevada City and Bozeman. The Virginia Players are a hoot. Check them out! We left a brochure. Highlights included fishing, tubing down the Madison River, a murder mystery dinner, an Iron Chef competition and stargazing. Thanks for a wonderful home base for the fourteen of us.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1995
About the owner: We built and participated in the design and construction of this home in the mountains between Livingston and Bozeman in 1995 as a place to raise our three children, then ages 9, 11 and 13. They are grown and live in NY, VA and MT. We are now living and working in Billings, making our home available to vacation renters. This is a perfect spot for a quite retreat with a loved one and large enough for a family reunion. Lots of hills to climb and forest/creek to explore, along with a night in the tipi down by the creek. One night we were wakened by a mama and baby moose feeding in the willows next to the tipi, we watched them in the moonlight for a long time. These are magical moments.
Why the Owner Chose Livingston:
We are only 20 minutes from the Yellowstone River and some of the world's best fly fishing and one hour from Yellowstone National Park. Bozeman is a half hour away and Livingston even closer. Bridger Bowl ski area is 40 minutes via Jackson Creek Road.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Having the mountains in our backyard and the creek and pond to play in added a unique dimension to our children's lives. One could feel the peacefulness of the area as soon as one started the five-mile drive home after working in town all day. Sitting on the deck and watching the sunset is a moment to cherish. We are still in awe of the great beauty here and are very happy to share our home with our guests. The wildflowers in spring and summer cover the hillsides around the house. If you like bird watching the deck is a great place to sit with a bird book and binoculars. Moose feed on the willows down by the creek, black bear visit occasionally, deer are abundant and a herd of elk may wander through the property depending on the time of year. There is never a dull moment in nature at Aspen Hill Retreat.
