Family/dog-friendly cabin, heart of Paradise Valley, 30 min north of Yellowstone

Valley View is a unique rough-cut wood frame cabin situated in a quiet rural neighborhood at the base of Tom Miner Basin. The cabin has easy outdoor living with two porches, outdoor eating facilities, and a sunroom with large south-facing windows. Thirty minutes north of Yellowstone National Park, it has easy access and parking.

Valley View cabin can comfortably accommodate 4-6 guests, with two bedrooms, a sleeping loft, and a second living area with a sleeping option. There is a queen bed in the main upstairs bedroom, and twin bunks in the second bedroom are suitable for adults or children. A sleeping loft with an adult twin bed is accessed through the second bedroom. An additional portable twin bed can be made available in the main-level sunroom. There is a full bathroom on the first floor and a half bath on the main floor.

The advertised base fee is for up to four guests. We charge $30 per extra person per night and can accommodate six guests in total.

The main living area boasts high ceilings, rough-cut wooded beams, and framed pictures and photos taken by the owner, a Montana native. This open-plan area has an oversized comfortable couch and easy chair, a dining table for up to six guests, a smart TV, and direct access to the front porch and the kitchen. The cabin boasts numerous windows, including large southern-facing windows in the sunroom that summer renters can enjoy. One central wood fireplace keeps the main cabin toasty in the cool evenings of the shoulder seasons, and there is also an electric furnace.

The kitchen has complete amenities for your cooking needs. Includes dishware, silverware, glassware, cookware, full refrigerator & top freezer, toaster oven, oven, stove top, & double sink. Kitchen appliances include a drip coffee machine, food processor, microwave, & a range of bakeware.

The expansive lawn is well maintained, so guests must park in the designated parking area indicated in the written directions and map and by the 'park here' sign. Walking distance from the car park to the cabin is approx. 60ft.

Our cabin is a traditional rough-cut timber structure built as a much-loved and utilized second home and family holiday home. If this accommodation style suits you, it will be a fun place to stay and enjoy with family and friends. While we have screens and pest mitigations and ensure the highest cleaning standards, you are in a rough-cut timber cabin in Montana, and in every season, you may encounter the odd insect inside and out.

We do not have air conditioning, but we have ceiling and portable fans, screened doors and windows, and blinds on all our windows. You can combine these technologies to keep the cabin at a comfortable temperature. We provide information on how to do this if it is not something you are familiar with.

If you are looking for a different experience, we recommend you look for accommodations built in more modern styles and materials.

Dogs
We are a dog-friendly property and are delighted to welcome one dog per visit. This is contingent on us receiving, on booking, a guarantee from our human guests that they will ensure their pet is a considerate/low-impact house guest and adhere to our pet addendum. We ask for a $75 dog deposit per visit, which we are happy to refund $50 minus VRBO fees if we do not see evidence of dogs having been on the furniture, extra cleaning due to dog hair, or damage to the property. (One of our guys sheds like crazy, so we understand the shedding issue).

A vacuum cleaner and lint roller are available in the cabin, which you are welcome to use before you leave to eliminate excess dog hair.
