This house was the perfect location for a weekend getaway with friends and family! Loved the spaciousness, hot tub, plenty of rooms and bed for everyone, and pool table. Beautiful views as well!
This home was perfect. Absolutely gorgeous setting, plus plenty of bedrooms for the whole family. Excellent communications all the way around. Just a perfect place to stay for our family wedding weekend. Couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience with other guests!
Elbow Creek is the perfect place to stay for a family get away. The scenery is beautiful, the house is cozy and has room for everyone. There are several great things to do around the house to entertain a large group: ping pong, pool table, games, frisbee golf, board games. From the hot tub, you can view thousands of bright stars at night. Hiking trails and hot springs are close by and easy to get to. We can't wait to come back!

We hear so many wonderful stories from guests at this home. It's a special place to spend quality time with friends and family. Thank you for sharing some photos!
Enjoyed the property very much. Only a small glitch getting there the first time as the address given was incorrect, but once we got that figured out all was well.
We had a great time! We spent most of our time at the property and enjoyed the opportunity to relax with our 3 kids and their families. We also enjoyed a visit to Chico with the group. Thanks!
Large beautiful home accommodated my family at Christmas. Every thing that was needed for a 4-day holiday celebration was taken care of. The hosts were very quick to respond. Views are breathtaking. Highly recommend.
The house was comfortable and spacious. The yard and view were spectacular with the view of the valley and the surrounding mountains. It was 30 minutes to Livingston, a scenic drive. Also only 15 minutes to Chico and Emigrant which was very convenient.

Hi Agustin - Thanks for staying with us at Elbow Creek Retreat and we're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Please come back soon! - Suzy at Mountain Home Vacation Rentals
Amazing spot, only sad part of the trip is I drove to town to get salt, “a little upset that a rental that fancy didn’t come stocked with the basic spices”. But when I got back the house mates found the hidden door in the cabinet with everything i needed. Only mention it to hopefully keep someone from making the same needles trip in to town.
Loved, loved, loved our stay at Elbow Creek Retreat! There were 8 adults and an 19 month old spending 10 days. We were all in town for our son’s wedding at Stoneflower Wedding Venue, about 2 miles away. Couldn’t have been more convenient! House is so comfy, well equipped (even 2 porta-cribs). Spacious so we weren’t all crammed in. The views are incredible. And they do mean in the middle of a working cattle ranch. Herd hung out in pasture immediately behind backyard for a couple days. It was awesome. Checked them out but not too close and no, it wasn’t smelly in house because they were there!! Plenty of equipment/dishes in kitchen, plenty of huge towels. We also had our son’s dog with us. Loved the massive back yard ( as did our granddaughter) but it is not 100% fenced. We did fine because they stay close anyway. We absolutely recommend this lovely home to anyone looking for large home. 30 minutes north of Yellowstone north entrance. 20-25 minutes south of Livingston.
It was fairly easy to fill out the information needed and reserve the house online. The property was in a perfect location for us to get to all the events we needed to attend. Very pretty scenery!!
8 of us all stayed in this absolutely gorgeous Montana ranch home. There were sprawling views, so much space, lots of great provided information, and a fantastic location for getting to Livingston/Bozeman and Yellowstone. It was the trip of a lifetime. The only reason I gave the three star cleanliness rating is just because there was a mice (or two) living in the cupboards that kept getting in to our groceries. It's a country home, it's not unusual or shocking, but wanted to mention it.
