The property was absolutely gorgeous. The host greeted us upon our arrival and made sure we had everything we needed. The views of the mountains were amazing and the proximity to Chico, Emigrant Outpost and Yellowstone was perfect. I would highly recommend!

Thank you Trisha for such a great review.
Appreciate it. 🌺
The cabin was as advertised. It is small and cute with western accents. It was very clean and expectations were well defined. We were given a list of area eateries.
The best place for my husband and I. Located close to Yellowstone Park. Beautiful surroundings and peaceful views. The horses are sweet and we were visited by mule deer. Beautiful sunsets and rises.

Diane, I’m so happy to know that you two enjoyed your stay!
We’d so enjoy having you back any time.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful little cabin near the river. The location was great - close to things but far enough away from busy crowds/towns. We were able to fish in the river just a short walk away!
Our family absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful log cabin. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into the Montana dream — peaceful, surrounded by incredible scenery, and the perfect place to slow down and breathe in that mountain air.The cabin itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The rustic charm combined with all the little thoughtful touches made it feel like a true home away from home. Waking up to the views each morning was something special, and the quiet of the valley was exactly what our family needed after the busyness of travel.As visitors from Australia travelling with our kids, this stay was a real highlight of our trip. It gave us the chance to properly experience the beauty of Montana and create some wonderful family memories.We’re so grateful for the hospitality and would absolutely stay again. If you’re looking for an authentic, peaceful cabin experience in an incredible location, this is it.Thank you for having us!

This cottage was the perfect fit for us. We had everything we needed. The sunrises to the sunsets to the nearby places to explore made this cottage the perfect getaway place for us to stay.

Jill, We so loved the notes you left for us in the cabin. ❤️ And thank you for leaving our cabin in PERFECT condition! We hope to see you again one day. 😀
This place was very nice with plenty of room for our group of three friends. It is right in between Livingston and Gardinar with fun locations like Chico Hot Springs nearby. The cabin was a great place to hang out and relax after sightseeing days.
The River cabin is wonderful. A beautiful spot to relax after enjoying a great hike during the day. It is nicely furnished and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. I highly recommend a stay at the River cabin.
This cabin was perfect for my husband, two boys (11 and 13) and I. We were 30 minutes from the entrance to Yellowstone and about 30 min from Livingston, which had great food. The hosts were amazing, the beds were comfortable, the hot water was INSTANT, and overall, we truly could not have asked for more. So glad we booked here!

Thank you Quin for such a great review!
It was really fun to meet you and your family and we’d love to host you anytime. Thank you for leaving the cabin in such great shape, we so appreciate it!
Fantastic owners with outstanding communication! Cabin was exactly as described and spotless. Location was perfect- a quiet spot to unwind at the end of the day. We would love to come back again!
This property was fantastic! Perfectly stocked, comfortable beds, great hot water heater, very clean, super cute decor and above all amazing views and access to the Yellowstone River. If we could have bottled up that level of peace and brought it home with us, we would have!

Thank you Justin, for such a great review. It makes us so happy to know how much you enjoyed your stay!
This cabin is adorable. Clean and well maintained. It is very conveniently located between Gardner, Yellowstone, Chico, and Livingston. We were able to see the park and other places on our trip. Definitely will come again.
The cabin was a very nice place and a great central place to everything the area offers. Laura and Mike work hard to keep the property up and well maintained. We plan on coming back soon.
Lovely stay - owners very accommodating - adorable cabin - close to Chico/Sage.
Ladder from 2nd floor at 2am a little scary in the dark...but manageable :)
Stay was fine, thought river was close to cabin door based on site pictures. River was several hundred yards away from cabin.

We don’t have any misleading photos that indicate the river being close to the cabin door! You must have been confused from looking at other listings.
Building a cabin that close to the Yellowstone river would be ludicrous. It also would have been ruined by the flood last summer.
