About this property

The Yellowstone House and Fisherman's Cabin

It is the best of both worlds... you can relax, put your feet up, and enjoy the stunning views of the Paradise Valley of the Yellowstone, one of the prettiest places in the West. At the same time, you can also enjoy the comfort and convenience of a first-class home base from which you can launch your dream vacation, fish the Yellowstone River just out your front door, hike nearby 10,000-foot Emigrant Peak which is practically in your back yard, soak your bones just down the road at Chico Hot Springs, and see the wolves of Yellowstone Park just a short drive away. The main house has four bedrooms each with a queen bed. The separate Fisherman's Cabin has a queen bed and a loft with a twin mattress. The house and cabin sleep 12 comfortably and we have a couple of smaller mattresses for kids. We've also set up the property to host your wedding, rehearsal party or family reunion with an event barn that seats approx. 60. . Events on property are an additional cost separate from house rental negotiated with owner.

Your family will have plenty of space for a two-week vacation, but the location also works perfectly for long weekend getaways.
Fish, hike, raft, sightsee, relax any time of year. Less than an hour from Bozeman's airport, but far enough to hear the coyotes sing every night. It is all right here for you, at The Yellowstone House...!

Beautiful Montana views

We rented this property and barn for our son's wedding and it worked out perfectly. Family stayed in the main house. Plenty of kitchen supplies and accomodations. Beautiful setting with nearby mountains (which got snow one night!) and along the Yellowstone River. Interior barn is well-appointed and pretty. The newly rennovated small cottage on the property is adorable and the newlyweds stayed there. It was a wonderful stay!

Great Montana Experience!

4 rooms all with queen beds made this the perfect home for our family reunion with 4 adult couples. Upscale rustic western log home with big kitchen and spacious rooms and outdoor decks for gathering. Great location with fantastic views, short walk to swim in the river and amazing hiking trails within 20 minute drive. Nice Steinway piano too. We all loved it!

The most beautiful day and stay!

We hosted a small wedding at The Yellowstone House. The event barn had everything we could want for our day. The property was beautiful and the views were incredible. Tom was responsive and helped arrange all of our needs (especially due to us coming from out of town.) Can’t say enough good things about the property. We are hoping to return for our anniversary. The property will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Yellowstone House July 2023

This VRBO experience was magical because of the house and its location on the Yellowstone River. It's close to river rafting, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, ATV riding and of course Yellowstone National Park where bison did actually walk right in front of our car - just like you imagine! Our family of 10 from age 69 to 3 all enjoyed this house! The 3 levels provided privacy and the porches all had magnificent views! The hosts were friendly and helpful but not intrusive! I can highly recommend this Montana experience!

Stay in Paradise

This was our family’s second stay at the Yellowstone House. It has been one of the easiest homes for our family to gather with its proximity to local family and events. It is so “homey” and the views from the house are 360 degrees of “Paradise”. We moved chairs around every day on the multiple decks to catch the wonder of sunrises, sunsets, rainbows and children playing! The rustic nature of this property is so beautifully tasteful and allows for a more relaxed experience for a very busy family. We deeply appreciate the experience the host provides for us.

Family vacation in Montana

This is a peaceful place walking distance to a little beach area with a river. A little over an hour drive to amazing activities such as zip lining, white water rafting, seeing prairie dogs, horse back trail riding from Bear Paw outfitters, hot springs, dino museum, sanctuary for rescued grizzlies bears. This property has everything you need including seasonings. You can either eat out or go to Albertson's grocery store which is only 15-20 minutes away. The property has cooking utensils, measuring cups and spoons. There is a sweet loft upstairs that has a sink and toilet. It has a queen size bed that is very comfortable. There is a lot of room for a crib/ pack n'play a d/or air mattress for extra children. There is 1 bedroom with queen bed on main floor. Also the main bathroom with shower. Downstairs has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom to share. They have a hang out area downstairs with a sectional couch, tv, games,and books. There is laundry downstairs with laundry soap and detergent so you don't have to worry about packing a ton of clothes and detergent. They did have an extra mattress to throw upstairs if needed. The wrap around porch gives you all the views you need to see the mountains. My husband and I split the cost with his 2 brothers. There was 9 of us total. There is a coffee pot, a percolator for hot water, griddle for pancakes. At night we used the telescope to look at the moon, deer and look for other wildlife. The mountain views are just gorgeous. None of us wanted to leave. It was a great experience all around. The property is cozy and spacious at the same time. We highly recommend to families who want to experience Montana and the peace you feel when you enjoy the outdoors at night.

Beautiful property in Paradise Valley!

We had a wonderful stay in this log cabin home in Paradise Valley. The location is fantastic and views are gorgeous! You can easily access activities like fishing/beach right on the property to hiking and rafting and dining in nearby Livingston or Gardiner. Despite the closure of the north entrance of Yellowstone currently, we could walk into the north entrance at Gardiner, and we could still make the drive (2.5 hr) to the West entrance to fully experience the park. Highly recommend this great base camp- owner is very responsive and helpful!

Yellowstone House

Overall our experience was great. Check in was easy. Great communication between the manager/owner. The views were amazing at this property. Husband caught plenty of fish from the Yellowstone river even though it was moving pretty quickly since there had been lots of rain in the area. The house is a bit dated but everything worked great and the house was stocked with everything you needed for your stay.

60th birthday celebration in Paradise Valley

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10-night stay at the Yellowstone House while celebrating my husband's 60th birthday. Our adult children stayed with us the first three nights and then close friends joined us for the remaining seven nights. The location is spectacular with views of the surrounding mountain ranges and within steps of the Yellowstone River. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make wonderful meals. We loved the rustic and comfortable feel of the home, and enjoyed mornings drinking coffee in the living room area enjoying the mountain views and the fireplace. My husband and our children loved soaking in the hot tub in the snow. Tom was super responsive throughout our stay. Thank you for being a fabulous host. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Tom Garnsey

Host profile image
We purchased the house and cabin in 2004 as we wanted to have a getaway for our family that was close enough to our home in Bozeman but also light years away in attitude and close to Yellowstone Park and the River. It has turned to be the best move we've ever made.
We get to spend time there as a family and share it with the world as well!

Why they chose this property

I spent several years working in Yellowstone when I was younger and had fallen in love with the Paradise Valley. It is one of the most beautifual and relaxing places on earth.

What makes this property unique

We are less than an hour from Yellowstone Park, two minutes from the river, ten minutes from a hike in the mountains,and ten minutes from world renowned Chico Hot Springs. The views from our deck are unsurpassed and the house has everything. Any questions?
