Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
My husband and I have lived in this area for over 20 years. I moved here from Virginia and he is a Montana native. We both love to hike, fish, camp, hunt, ski, etc. We also like the laid-back lifestyle in Montana. It is the perfect place for our two dogs, and we have great neighbors. We love the beautiful mountain views, the river behind us and all of the natural surroundings that make Montana a great place.
Why the Owner Chose Livingston
We built this cabin here because we live here and we love this area. The agricultural surroundings are very peaceful and full of wildlife and songbirds.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Aside from all the beautiful natural surroundings it is the people of this valley that make life enjoyable here. The Shields Valley is still a relatively undeveloped ranching and farming community. The small towns around us; Livingston, Clyde Park and Wilsall still have an authentic western look and feel. They host local events such as; rodeos, branding parties and dances with a real sense of tradition and community.

Thanks Lynn and Brad for renting us you vacation home. We had a wonderful time visiting Yellowstone and the area. Beartooth Highway that you suggested is an absolute must see for anyone visiting the area. Keith and David really enjoyed the fishing on the Shields River. Both of our kids enjoyed the upstairs loft as a play area. It was great to have a place to come home to and relax at the end of a very long sight seeing day.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, pet owners, adventure seekers, families with young children.
Shields River Cabin

Review Submitted: 09/27/10
This is a really beautiful cabin tastefully decorated with lovely comfortable furniture. The kitchen is well stocked and great to cook in. The jacuzzi bath and steam shower are brilliant. There is everything here for a comfortable stay. The porch is a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the ever changing light on the Absaroka mountains that fill the skyline. Brad and Lynn are friendly very hospitable hosts. There is good fishing very close by in the Yellowstone River and also in the Shields River. A little further afield the Paradise Valley provides additional good fishing spots on the Yellowstone. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at Shields River Cabin June 19-24 and we absolutely loved it! It is very spacious, the decor is beautiful, the beds are very comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms are downright luxurious! Lynn was an excellent hostess and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The property is beautiful, and the mountain views are jaw dropping. We went to the rodeo in Wilsall and the Farmers Market in Livingston. We also spent time in Yellowstone. We were truly sad to leave, and are looking forward to coming back again!
Owner response:Katie, Thank you so much for this review. We have had a lot of people mention it to us. My niece, Kendall is out here now, she is 7, and she makes me think of your little girl, Sophia. They would have a ball together. Hope all is well. Lynn
