About this property
Yellowstone River, Paradise Valley..Yellowstone National Park…world class views!
**Official Cancellation Policy (VRBO template will not allow this option) You may cancel at any time and receive a full refund AS long as I am able to re rent your stay. We encourage you to obtain travel insurance which can be obtained for a very reasonable cost. Csatravelinsurance.com is just one of many companies that offer this insurance.
This 4000 square foot home sits on the Yellowstone River in the true heart of the aptly named Paradise Valley, right along the “Miracle Mile” between Mill Creek and Pine Creek. There are truly no better views of Paradise Valley than those enjoyed from this home. Even old time native Montanans rave about the views from the backyard. A quick 30-minute drive to Yellowstone National Park to the south, 15 minutes to the genuine small-town feel of Livingston to the north and 35 minutes to Bozeman.
Five bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths await you, but the living space is done no justice by such a simple description. The huge master (over 500 square feet, with king bed) has a spacious sitting area with a pair of indoor chaise lounges to enjoy that book and the views away from the kids, but still able to view them playing in the gorgeously grassy backyard.
The two remaining upstairs bedrooms, both decorated with brand new furniture suites, one king, one queen with European bedding. These two bedrooms share a full bath loaded with such nice touches as ample, new, plush towels and a few toiletries to make you feel at home immediately.
The fully-finished downstairs has yet another newly-furnished bedroom, with queen bed and Swedish-country styling. A short walk away is the gigantic “bunkroom,” featuring three double beds, individual nightstands, and its own sitting area with sofa and loveseat.
To make sure every beautiful Montana day is followed by a great night’s sleep, all the home’s mattresses are brand-new Sealy Posturpedic; each topped by a fluffy down comforter.
[Here's a clarification of our maximum occupancy: if the group is all adults, the maximum occupancy is 11. Green Acres Lodge may accommodate up to 14 total people, but only if 6 of them are children small enough (and willing enough!) to share the 3 full-size beds found in the bunkroom. These limits assure your comfort...]
So you feel that you “lose your own space” while on vacation? Well, no worries here! There are huge living areas on both floors!
Upstairs is a large living area with commanding, breath-taking views of the Yellowstone River and the 12,000 foot Absaroka Mountains. And for your after-dark entertainment, there is a TV with YouTube TV and DVD. A massive stone wood-burning fireplace completes the area.
Like to eat some meals more casually, and others more formally? Or perhaps separate the kids from the adults? No problem! A dining room area, complete with new, Swedish contemporary dining suite to seat ten and an equally new Swedish country breakfast nook table to seat six flank the upstairs kitchen. Fully stocked with 15 sets of dishes, multiple glassware styles, and flatware, the kitchen shows that we keep our renters in mind.
A stocked spice cupboard, specialty cooking tools, multiple pots and pans, and knives that actually cut can make your in-home meals fun. And everything from placements to cloth napkins and napkin rings to glass candlesticks mean a romantic meal is well within reach, despite being in the heart of Yellowstone Country.
Prefer to cook outdoors? There’s also an oversized gas barbecue grill on the deck with a table to enjoy a dinner or drinks with the ultimate view.
But wait, there’s more!
Downstairs is a second living area with two full-size couches for extra space to “get away” with it’s own flat screen TV. But what’s that behind one of those sofas? A dartboard! And beyond? A pool table, with plenty of seating (from comfy wingbacks, to “ready-for-my-next-shot” upholstered stools) for participants and spectators alike.
While the thought of you spending a single minute attending to business makes us want to rescue you, we recognize that communications continuity is sometimes a necessity, even while in Paradise. We offer unlimited high-speed internet access (wired in one upstairs bedroom, wireless throughout the house).
An extensive professional landscape surrounds the home, with 10,000 square feet of luxurious sod to take that nap while listening to the river. A regulation horseshoe pit provides old-time fun while you take in the views.
We know the little things can really make a difference...so, there's a cooler and daypack for your excursions, a popcorn popper for staying in, simple games and toys for the little ones, and books to read--from fiction to local area lore and guides, to literature.
Walk right down to the river to fish... some of the best fishing on the Yellowstone is right from this home (JT has personally caught 15 trout in an hour here).
Yellowstone National Park is only a 30-minute drive away, short enough for day trips, so you can enjoy your home away from home every evening... it stays light until 10:00pm here in the summer!
Located five miles from world-famous Chico Hot Springs with live music every weekend and the best restaurant in all of Montana. Head 15 miles into historic Livingston with art galleries and restaurants galore. Plenty of skiing is within reach: Big Sky is 70 minutes away, and Bridger Bowl is only 50 minutes away.

Thanks for staying with us! I'm so glad your family got to enjoy our peaceful house on the Yellowstone River. You took great care of the house, and you are welcome back anytime!
Perfect and peaceful house right on the Yellowstone. Kitchen is stocked. We BBQd nightly and slept well at night. Easy walk to the river and less than 20 mins to Livingston.

We appreciate your kind feedback. It is wonderful to hear that our property provided the perfect, peaceful setting for your stay and that you enjoyed our close proximity to Livingston and the Yellowstone River. Thank you for being excellent guests—we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that the house provided plenty of space for your group of 10 and that you found the location to be the perfect base for exploring both the park and Livingston. We always strive to give our guests a seamless experience, so your kind words truly mean a lot. You were fantastic guests, and we would love to host you again the next time you visit the area!
We could not have picked a better place for us. We absolutely loved the setting. The beauty of inside or outside, looking out the back to the mountains and the river was phenomenal. We had plenty of room for the 12 of us, 10 adults and 2 children. We made lifetime memories. It’s a bit of a drive to get to the north park entrance but the trade off was the setting and being closer to Livingston. I highly recommend this house.

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! We are absolutely thrilled that our home could be the backdrop for such special family memories. It is wonderful to hear that the layout comfortably accommodated all 12 of you and that you loved the mountain and river views as much as we do. You are exactly right about the trade-off—while we are a bit further from the North Entrance, the peace, privacy, world class views and proximity to Livingston make it a truly unique setting. Thank you for being wonderful guests, and we would love to welcome your family back anytime!
Overall awesome experience. Great family vacation. Tons of room for big families. Pool table needs updated all rails are dead. Other then that awesome stay.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, pictures and for highlighting that our home is great for big families! We love knowing your family had an awesome vacation and made the most of the spacious layout. I also really appreciate your feedback about the pool table rails. We want every amenity to be perfect, so we are looking into getting those updated right away. Thank you for being fantastic guests, and we would love to welcome your family back anytime!
JT was very accomodating. The location worked out well for us as far getting to where we wanted to be, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone and riding trails. The kitchen was very well stocked with small appliances, cooking and baking pans. There was plenty of dishes and glassware. The view out the back deck were fantastic!Thank you for providing a place for our family to make a very happy memory!
The location is perfect if you are looking for a spot close to Livingston and Emigrant. The house is plenty big for multiple families or friends. It is land locked though so even though it is right in the Yellowstone River, you need to walk about 10-15 minutes to get to a spot you can access the river to fish or raft.

Thanks for leaving a review…so glad you and your family had a fantastic stay! To clarify, I just walked down to the river at a casual pace and it was under two minutes to get to one of the nicest beaches on the Yellowstone River. While we could have moved the path to the river to be a 30 second walk, we have found that our guests preferred being at the “beach” instead of a rocky bank…thus the reason for the two minute walk to the river.
Thanks again for staying with us!!
Location! Location! Location! We stayed here a week with our 3 daughters and their young families to attend my niece's wedding at Sage Lodge. We were 8 adults (4 couples) and 3 toddlers. The house set up is perfect for young families. The location of the house is beautiful and very close to Livingston, local bars and restaurants and to Yellowstone.
The house was perfect for our group. It was clean and well maintained. We had a group of 9 including 5 children and there was plenty of space to spread out The views from the house were fantastic! The location was excellent to visit Livingston, Gardiner, Chico Hot Springs, Yellowstone, and more. I would most certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay during a visit to Montana!
The view from the deck is absolutely spectacular! House is very well equipped and a great location between Livingston and Gardiner. It was so roomy for the 8 of us.
The process was very easy and the manager was very helpful. The location was ideal for visiting Yellowstone and could not have been any better in comfort, cleanliness and location.

Thanks John...I’m happy you and your guests enjoyed your stay! Thanks again for visiting.
My son, and his best fishing buddy, and two of my best buddies buddies came to Livingston to celebrate a couple of us retirement, fish together, and enjoy the week. The Green Acres lodge was perfect for our size group of 5 men. We all enjoyed the week and the view from the back deck was spectacular.
This place was the perfect stay in the valley. Unfortunately the weather didn't agree with our ambitious plans during our stay, but this property ended up being a wonderful place to hang out throughout the rain. The different areas to congregate left us never feeling crowded
The house is wonderfully convenient between Emigrant and Livingston, offering a beautiful respite on the banks of the Yellowstone River. JT is easy to communicate with and a great host - would love to come back soon.
Location 10/10. Beautiful setting right on the Yellowstone River. I purposefully have held back on this review. My husband is a State Farm Agent, and we are very conscientious & treat the property with the same respect and care as we would our own properties.We had two incidents while renting this property. First, contacted by owner regarding the power being shut off for approx 15-30 mins on 3rd night. Not a big deal, power company maintenance. The owner had no control over the 4 hour outage, but could’ve communicated better regarding things that we should and shouldn’t do while the power was out and should have more emergency flashlights or lanterns available.2nd incident, pipe burst Friday morning. Three adult daughters sleeping in bsmt. Daughter woke up early to water rushing into basement bathroom. We move all of their luggage & items upstairs; move furniture around as to mitigate loss. Being a State Farm Agent, my husband has spent his life helping to mitigate loss for others, and this was no exception. Called owner to inform of pipe bursting w/in 5 mins. Texted back that help coming, said thank you. We lost access to the entire lower level the last two nights of our stay. Girls moved upstairs. House became musty in 24 hrs. Opened home to a nice plumber and housekeeper to clean up the flooded mess for 2 days. No apology from owner, noOffer of a discount or % off future stay. Nothing. No acknowledgement of the multiple 1,000’s we saved him. Nothing.

"Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are incredibly grateful for your family’s quick thinking and help in minimizing the damage when the pipe burst.
We always strive to provide a 5-star experience, and we are so sorry that these two unexpected utility issues disrupted your stay. We did notify you about the power maintenance as soon as the utility company informed us, and we appreciate your patience with them.
Regarding the plumbing emergency, we are glad our plumber and cleaners were able to arrive within minutes of your call. While we apologized deeply on the phone during the event and thanked you for your swift action, we are sorry if that gratitude didn't feel sufficient during such a stressful situation.
We wanted to ensure a fair resolution for the basement space you lost, and we have reached out to you privately to discuss a partial refund for those final two nights."
About the host
Hosted by JT Theobald
JT Is from Florida originally, but has been firmly rooted in Montana for 20 years. I feel very fortunate to have a place in the aptly named Paradise Valley, Montana. I like nothing better than being home during the summer months with fishing, hiking, Yellowstone Park and The Yellowstone River...right out my doorstep. With long days to savor all the activities and perfect evenings on the River to rejuvenate your soul for the next day, there really is nowhere else I'd rather be!
Why they chose this property
This location seems just about perfect. Close to the charming towns of Bozeman and Livingston, yet set in a very private setting right on the Yellostone River. While it is a short 30 minute drive to Yellowstone National Park, you'll spend most of your time at the home which is in the very best part of Paradise Valley (which is the first 15 miles South of the town of Livingston). The home is also very close to Chico Hot Springs, a long time Montana tradition for their water, food, drink and activities.
