This three-bedroom, two-bath, brand-new cabin in Montana's Paradise Valley looks out over the Yellowstone River and is a short, gorgeous drive from Yellowstone National Park.
You'll feel like the river runs right through the home. You will enjoy this unique opportunity to spend time along the last major wild river in America! Stunning views of the Absaroka and Gallatin Mountain Ranges are yours to enjoy along with the bald eagles often seen in the cottonwood grove across the river. Guests can walk out the door and go fishing or floating right from the house at the private Yellowstone River access.
This sweet cabin is offered year round for your river and mountain getaway retreat or family vacation and offers you all the comforts and conveniences you will want in a most gorgeous Yellowstone River setting in the Paradise Valley. The home has a tasteful, cozy western style with beautiful wood and tile floors, unique artwork, and custom, handmade, log furniture to enjoy.
The three cozy bedrooms all with outstanding mountain views can accommodate up to six guests. The master bedroom is downstairs, with a queen-size log bed, satellite TV/DVD, and a full bath with shower. The spiral staircase leads you to two more bedrooms upstairs. The upper floor consists of one bedroom with a queen-size log bed, and another bedroom with a log frame bunk bed.
You'll find cozy down comforters on all of the beds. A full bath upstairs is shared by these two bedrooms. If you happen to need one, you will even find a playpen/crib in one of the bedrooms. In addition, one adult size portable twin mattress with bedding is available for an extra person.
The complete kitchen with dishwasher, range, microwave, and all the cookware is open to the dining area and living room. The dining room table will seat six, or head on out to the deck and e enjoy your meal while savoring the river view.
Relaxing will come easy on the Yellowstone Riverside deck. There you can hear the mighty river sweeping by, notice the sudden flip of a trout's tail, watch a bald eagle perched in the Cottonwood trees across the river, and see drift boats, kayaks, canoes, and rafts float by.
You will find a HOT TUB, comfortable patio set and gas barbecue grill along with a bench and hooks to hang your fishing waders. On the other side of the house, you will find a covered deck with a small table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee while enjoying an unobstructed view of the gorgeous Absaroka Mountains.
In the vaulted living room, you will find cozy and comfortable furniture, a 40" flat screen television with satellite service DVD/CD am/fm home theater system, and a gas-fired woodstove - everything you could need! Large windows offer spectacular views of the Yellowstone River, waterfowl, bald eagles, and the surrounding mountains.
When winter sets in and snow falls on the nearby mountains, the Yellowstone River is fabulous to watch as ice chunks float by. Downhill skiers can head for the slopes at Bridger Bowl or Big Sky, while cross country skiers and snowmobilers can find fabulous trails in the mountains nearby or in Yellowstone Park. After a long day of winter play, the cozy gas fired woodstove at Yellowstone Lookout will be a welcome sight.
The magnificent North entrance to Yellowstone Park is a short drive to the South through Montana’s fabulous Paradise Valley. You’ll find that most of the Yellowstone Park roads are closed to normal vehicle traffic during the winter, from mid-December through mid-March. As such, it makes a winter visit an outstanding time to take a snow coach ride, cross country ski or snowmobile through the Park.
The only car-accessible Yellowstone Park entrance that remains open year-round is located at Mammoth (the North Entrance). That plowed road makes for a fun drive in the winter—you can explore the Tower Falls area, the Lamar Valley and Cooke City. You may even want to stop and ski on some of the many groomed cross-country ski trails which are located along this road. If you want to view wolves, check out the Lamar Valley in the winter. It is fairly common to view wolf packs from road turnouts using scopes or binoculars. In Mammoth you can rent snowmobiles, cross-country skis and snowshoes and take snow coaches that transport you to Old Faithful or take you on tours to other destinations.
In addition to soaking in the hot pools at Chico Hot Springs, another favorite winter activity is to experience the outdoor natural hot spring pools at Boiling River. You’ll find the Boiling River parking area about 3 miles inside the park from Gardiner. After parking, you’ll walk about a half mile along a path bordering the Gardiner River.
Eventually, you’ll see a place where a creek of hot geothermal water flows into the river (you’ll see lots of steam). Here you’ll see rocks piled up in the river to create natural pools where the hot water mingles with the cold river water to create comfortable places to soak and relax. It may be a little chilly when you get out, but it’s FUN and likely to be an experience that you’ll never forget.

We loved the riverside hot tub with the snow falling all around us. What fun! We watched the bald eagles go up and down the river and saw deer on the other side of the river while sitting in the hot tub. The house was stocked with anything and everything you can imagine and very cozy. We felt a great sense of peace and tranquility at this home!

Homeowner Response:
Some cell service providers work in this area and others do not. I know that Verizon and Qwest (to name two) work perfectly at the home.
