We had a fantastic stay at River Haven Cabins! Laura was a wonderful host—she responded quickly to any questions and made everything easy. The cabin itself was cozy, very comfortable, and had incredible views. Being right on the river made it especially peaceful. The location was perfect—just a short drive to Yellowstone National Park, Chico Hot Springs, and Livingston, yet tucked away from the touristy crowds. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot to relax and enjoy Montana. Highly recommend!
The South Cabin worked perfectly for our family of four and dog. We had plenty of space and used the provided grill. My son fished everyday from the private river access and was able to catch cutthroat trout and mountain whitefish right from shore. The cabin is perfect for a family and close enough to the park but far enough away from the craziness. We loved our time there.
The cabin was perfect for our Yellowstone trip! Very quiet, beautiful property right off the Yellowstone river. We watched golden eagles and osprey while eating breakfast. We would definitely love to come stay again!

The cabin is awesome, clean, and the perfect distance from Gardiner and Livingston. Deer walking around property, River close walk away, and the view of the mountains made this our favorite vacation to date!
The place was the perfect size and had everything we needed. A little further away from Yellowstone but was perfect to stay away from the crowds of people.

Hi Shawn, you rated our property 4 stars, yet you said it was a perfect size and had everything you needed. I’m confused. This is the first rating we’ve received below 5 stars. You also stated that it was a bit far from Yellowstone. It isn’t any further than we told you it is. I’d say you are inaccurate with our rating.
Handsome little cabin, well equipped, great for a small family... or little bit larger if you would rent both of the two adjacent but well arranged in view of privacy cabins. Local gas station has everything you need for a short stay insofar as groceries.
We had a meeting in the area, enjoyed Chico Hot Springs and loved the deer, elk, and eagle visits. This place was just what we needed.

Absolutely gorgeous property! The hosts are amazing! Best part of our whole trip was staying at this cabin. Close to Yellowstone Park. Grocery and laundry near by. very private and lots of room to roam!
Perfect quaint cabin stay and location. Hosts were easy to communicate with and the property is beautiful. Cabin was very clean and cozy. Nice to be far enough away from hustle and bustle but not too far from town. Would love to come back again and bring my kids along!
Owners were such friendly and helpful people!! Cabin was spotless and just as advertised. Good river access. Cabins are situated for privacy. Perfect 3 nights!

Thanks Kelly! We truly enjoyed meeting you and Shelley. Meeting guests like you two are such a benefit of our business! Please come back, anytime🌺
This cabin had everything our family of five needed, including good WiFi for my teenage children. It’s clean, cool, and comfortable. The location about 35 minutes north of Yellowstone is convenient to explore Lamar Valley without overpaying for accommodations in Gardiner. River Haven is a great cabin for a great price.
Amazing views, amazing property, wonderful cabin and wonderful communication. Can’t get any better!! Bring binoculars!!! You will observe mule deer, elk, bald eagles and other wildlife!
We had a great time in this clean, well-equipped cabin on the ranch. The owners have thought of it all, as it was stocked with anything we needed during our 4 day stay. Cisco, their horse, is very friendly and my sons loved seeing him welcome us at the fence as we’d come back from a day at Yellowstone (perfect location if you’re heading in and out of the North entrance and don’t want to be too close to the tourist scene). We would definitely stay here again if we are ever back this way!

Thank you for staying with us!
I really enjoyed meeting you!
Really well finished log cabin but also very modern and new. Gorgeous location near a river and mountain views. Super clean and beautiful on the inside, highly recommended!
My only downsides were the road is fairly close by so it's not quiet when sitting outside or by the river (very quiet inside) and the loft is a little warm and can use its own fan

Thank you for your review. I hope that you used the ceiling fan and the air conditioning to make yourselves comfortable. I find that most guests are actually using the extra comforters in the lofts.
Thanks again for staying with us, Laura
This beautiful cabin has everything you need. With great attention to detail, the home was comfortable, quaint and charming. Host was quick to reply and overall excellent experience. Only downfall was it was incredibly windy the entire time we were there. I suppose that is what you get in Paradise Valley!

Oh Emily, you aren't kidding about the wind last weekend! This has been the windiest Fall in 20 years on record. We hope you can come back for better weather sometime.
Thank you for being incredibly kind and taking such great care of our cabin. Your family is welcome ANYTIME!
Very clean and well thought out cabin. Had all the things we needed and more. Host was very receptive and communication was great.
View was amazing from the porch and environment was quiet and relaxing. A good base for exploring Yellowstone National Park, fly fishing near by and exploring beautiful Montana. Close proximity to a general store and a few local Emigrant restaurants. Chico Hot Springs is also just down the road.
Will be back for a future stay. Highly recommended.
This is a great property with access to the Yellowstone River. It is very clean, well equipped, and located near Yellowstone National Park. It is also a quick trip into Livingston for dinner. It was also one of the few properties we have stayed in that had AC. This summer it has been important as a couple of days the temperature was at or near 100. Our room was a great 72. The owners are nearby, but you never hear them. This is a great location for 2 adults and kids.
