1 complimentary coupon per guest for Chico Hot Spring's Natural Pools, with a 4 night or longer stay will be waiting for you inside our townhouse. Also, The Boiling River near the 45th parallel in Yellowstone National Park (between Gardiner and Mammoth, Wyo.) is one of the best places to go for the all-natural experience. The pools have been crafted from rocks taken from the Gardner River. In the winter, the river's icy flow mixes with the searing waters surfacing from the ground only yards away. Soak here and you'll get sand in your suit and hot and cold waters will alternately heat you up and freeze you. The view is amazing, and there might even be elk and bison across the river.
We offer a fully furnished home with a patio and deck. Our kitchen is fully stocked. We provide linens and have a washer and dryer. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and the 2nd bedroom has queen and twin size beds. There are queen size and full-size Comfort Sleeper Sofas in the livingroom.

Swim or soak in the Boiling River where it meets the Gardiner River close to Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Rudy and I are Maryland residents. Rudy is a licensed home inspector and I am a speech/language pathologist in a large school system. Rudy is originally from VA and I am originally from MI. We have both lived in 5 different states.
We love to travel, especially in the west, and enjoy visiting our grandsons in Oregon.
We are committed to providing a rental experience that serves our guests and makes their trip as comfortable as possible.
Why the Owner Chose Paradise Valley
Rudy and I had spent 3 consequitive summers vacationing in Montana (Glacier National Park). On a trip to Yellowstone in 2005, we were staying in Paradise Valley and watching the townhouses, at Avalon Villa being built. We were so taken with the breath taking views, the wildlife and Emigrant, that we decided that we wanted to own our own small piece of Montana. Two months later we called the developer and asked her if any of the townhouses were available. There were two left. We chose an end unit, thinking that we would have more light and views of the Big Sky. This all took place while driving on the Washington, DC Beltway. When I turned to my husband to ask him if we he thought that we had made the right decision, he said, "look out the window." In the lane next to our vehicle, was a semi-truck from Billings, Montana. I guess that was our sign.
The Unique Benefits of this Townhouse
Our vacation rental is across from Emigrant Peak standing majestically at 11,000 feet. We offer high end furnishings, comfortable beds and a kitchen stocked with everything we could think of. Our guests are able to cook a gourmet meal or a light breakfast. For those of you who are from the city, we offer a small town setting, and for those of you from small towns, Emigrant is even smaller than that. The people are very friendly! Shop for gifts, antiques, fishing gear, food, rent DVDs, and fish. The Old Saloon, mentioned in "National Geogrphic Adventure Magazine", offers the best Western Omelets. We are 3 miles from a world class resort with fine dining or lighter fare around the hot spring mineral pools. Go horse back riding or book a rafting trip. Yellowstone is just down the road, or so it seems as you are admiring the views of Paradise Valley, while driving south to the Park. One of the best things about our location is that we are only 20 minutes away from Livingston, MT, a town of approximately 7,800 people, which offers almost everything you want, live theatre, movies, shopping of all kinds, museums and great restaurants! We hope that you enjoy your stay!

Lisa & Rudy, The townhouse was wonderful! We were delighted to find that it was even better than the pictures on the web site. We were all glad that we stayed there rather than getting motel/hotel rooms. It was so nice to have room to kick back and relax, to grab a bite to eat, and have a quiet place to sleep. We did get a glimpse of the mountains and wished that the weather had been warmer and nicer so we could have enjoyed the view and mountains more. ( I would have loved to wake up with the view from the bedroom.) My daughter in law was happy to have the iron. (She was going to buy one and leave it.) The gals watching over the place are very nice and helpful, too. The wedding was great. Travel went well. Nice place to stay. You get thumbs up. Pat
