About Heather
I am a sixth generation Montanan who grew up in the Gardiner area. I know much about Yellowstone National Park and things to do at the North Entrance, Gardiner, MT. With my husband, we operate a dude ranch North of Gardiner and he also guides elk hunters in the fall. When we are not tending day rides on horses at our ranch, we enjoy hiking, fishing, and touring Yellowstone and the surrounding area. Call me for more information or if I can help you plan your vacation!
Heather purchased this house in 2004
Why Heather chose Yellowstone Country
I grew up on Emigrant Creek so I jumped at the chance to own this cottage. The cottage is easy to get to, but it is away from the crowds of Yellowstone National Park without losing any of the beauty of the area. It is located near Chico Hot Springs, which is a quaint little resort with natural hot springs to swim in, horseback riding, and dining. Yellowstone is an easy drive for day trips.
What makes this house unique
Emigrant Creek runs through the property and next to the cottage. You may hike the old mining roads that go for miles and follow the creek to its source. The area also offers fishing either in area creeks or Yellowstone River. I love to get a cup of coffee early in the morning and sit on the back porch to watch the sun rise, then go for a quick, quiet hike up the creek. Bliss!

Wonderful!

Don't let the appearance fool you!
The house looks small from the drive way- but accommodated our family very well! We had 6 adults and 4 kids with us and it was amazing. The property was wonderful and the creek flowing right by the cottage was mesmerizing! We would love to stay here again.
Hidden gem
Our family (three generations) loved our stay at Chico Cottage. It is well equipped, clean, and very spacious yet cozy.
We barbecued several nights and enjoyed eating our dinner on the patio by the creek. The location was great! We road our bikes to Chico Hot Springs several times, went to Yellow Stone one day and also did some river rafting. We are already talking about coming back next year!
Chico Gem
Thank you Heather! Perfect place for small family reunion. We booked your place because Chico's Hot Springs Resort could not accommodate us- am I ever glad your place was available! The setting on the creek was delightful, room arrangements perfect for our family of 10(4 grands). Deck, gardens lovely, amenities plentiful although we never did figure out the TV (no loss). We swam and dined at Chico's, guys fished nearby. Perfect spot for us!!
What a perfect place for our family gathering!
Plenty of room to spread out. A patio & covered deck for sitting outdoors - taking in beautiful views & a creek nearby. A long dining table was perfect for meals & playing games. Kitchen has enough space for cooking big meals. Bedrooms (2) & family room downstairs offered quiet space for restfull moments. Main floor bedroom was appreciated for those who don't navigate stairs well. Upstairs 3 beds offered quiet sleeping & naps. Just a quick few minutes to Chico for swimming & soaking in hot springs. We would come back again for a family gathering - this is truly a great place! Thank You!
Lovely cottage in a great location
We had a great time staying at the Chico cottage. We had plans to go to Yellowstone and Chico Hot Springs and could easily access both from the cottage. The cottage was very comfortable. I really enjoyed hearing the creek (right next to the house) in the evenings and in the mornings. I hope to stay here again.
Beautiful location!
A quintessential Montana experience! The creek provided the best natural noise machine for sleeping! Beds were very comfortable. House was clean and accommodated our family of 10 with ease. It was our second stay at the Old Chico Cottage and we hope to return again someday.
