About this property

Skwala Cabin (Cabin #6)

Take a break and unwind at the peaceful and cozy Skwala Cabin in Paradise Valley. This pet-friendly tiny cabin is thoughtfully designed with just enough space for a comfortable and restful stay. The beds are cozy, the setting is quiet, and the views are breathtaking. The cabin works especially well for couples, small families with children, or even groups of four adults who pack light and appreciate a minimalist space.

You will be close to the legendary Chico Hot Springs, the Old Saloon, Pine Creek Lodge, local wedding venues, world-class fly fishing, river rafting, horseback riding, and scenic trails. Just 35 miles from the North Entrance to Yellowstone and 25 miles south of Livingston, the Mayfly Cabin is your gateway to the best of Paradise Valley.

While the cabin is compact, many of our guests have found it perfectly suited for their needs—especially those looking for an affordable and well-located base to explore the area.

Great views - super cozy

The property is in such a beautiful location and the little cabins are so cute. We went into the park 2 days and it was an easy commute. Plus it’s super close to two hot springs!

Perfect Mountain Getaway

These cabins are absolutely perfect! Spent the weekend with some girlfriends and the owners are so lovely! The cabins are cozy, updated and so clean (with an amazing coffee setup inside!) the views are stunning from the cabins and it’s quiet and so peaceful. You are 5 minutes from iconic spots like Old Saloon, Chico Hotsprings and 20 minutes from downtown Livingston- making this the perfect weekend getaway location. I will 10/10 book again!

Living in Paradise

We got to stay in these sweet little cabins on our trip to Montana. Easy check in, very responsive hosts, the views are incredible, and the space has all of the necessities! We were right next to the Yellowstone River and got to float the river, then headed over to Yellowstone NP on day two - location is perfect. Coming home to a comfy bed, clean space, and rustic Montana living was just so special for us. We loved everything about these cabins and will certainly be booking here again for our next Montana adventure! Thank you EJ and Natalie for being such wonderful hosts! 10/10 recommend.

Very convenient and comfortable stay.

We stayed in the Skwala Cabin for two nights. We were attending a family reunion near Chico Hot Springs and the cabin was perfect -- 3 miles from Chico. The price was reasonable and the cabin was comfortable. It was private and quiet, and features a frig, microwave, Kuerig coffee, wi-fi, and smart TV. We were able to log onto our Netflix and watched a late night movie. The wi-fi worked great. The cabins are compact like an RV -- maybe 10ft x 20ft. A full bed and a double bunk were comfortable. The cabin was clean and the bathroom had plenty of hot water and everything worked great. Bottom line: the cabin was just what we were looking for. Here are my thoughts on improving the cabins and the customer experience. They are situated so that each cabin has a private patio screened by a fence from the neighboring cabin. They are not nestled in a forest setting with a pleasant creek running through the property. The cabins are sited on basically a gravel parking lot near the East Road. The nearby properties are a collection of trashy commercial equipment (and the typical Montana collection of junk cars and trucks). The property needs landscaping with many trees, vegetation, rock features, maybe even a pond with water features and a fire pit. For a place to sleep for the night between daily activities, the cabin is perfect. For a destination cabin to hang out for even a partial day: no. It is a gravel parking lot. For a place to crash for night, I'm rating the Stonefly as a 5.0. I also appreciated the email communication: confirmation, billing, check in and check out instructions, etc.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi there! We’re EJ and Natalie, the proud owners of Yellow Stonefly Cabins.

Our journey together started over a decade ago at Montana State University where we discovered our shared passion for the outdoors. Though we both grew up in Colorado—Natalie in the mountain town of Crested Butte and EJ in the cow town of Greeley— Montana has always had our hearts.

EJ has a degree in Fish and Wildlife and has spent years working with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, exploring the mountains, rivers, and backroads of this incredible state. He knows these waters like the back of his hand and never passes up an opportunity to fish. Natalie, on the other hand, has spent the last five years managing vacation homes in Big Sky, helping travelers experience the magic of Montana firsthand. Together, we’ve built a life centered around adventure, whether it’s casting a line at sunrise, hiking to a new alpine lake, skiing through fresh powder, or loading up our Airstream for a weekend escape.

No adventure is complete without our two Labrador retrievers, Honey and Bo, who rule our world (and would argue that they actually own the cabins). If you see them trotting around the property, just know they’re on very important business—mostly greeting guests, sniffing out the best trails, and scouting for snacks.

In November of 2024, we took a leap and purchased this special property, fulfilling a dream we’ve had for years. We instantly fell in love with the charm of these cabins and the breathtaking setting of Paradise Valley, and we knew we wanted to create a space where others could experience the same sense of peace and adventure that we feel here.

We have big plans in store—from exciting new additions to thoughtful little spruce-ups—all with the goal of making Yellow Stonefly Cabins an even more welcoming and beautiful retreat. This summer will be a busy one, but we’re embracing every moment of it, and we can’t wait to share this journey with you.
