About this property

“Point of View" is the perfect retreat from the stresses of today's world. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in an unparalleled location on the banks of the Yellowstone river sleeps 6. Relax, recharge, de-stress on 2 prime acres of riverfront..... blue ribbon fishing from our private riverbank below the house. We also have our own "put-in" for your raft, kayaks or float boat.... no need to find a river access point.

Located at the end of a road and directly above the Yellowstone River with amazing, unobstructed views of Paradise Valley, Emigrant Peak, and Greater Yellowstone area. "Point of View " abuts 1400 undeveloped acres to the south making this an ideal family rental spot for rest & relaxation or the perfect jumping off place for all your outdoor activities.

The house is located on 2 prime acres on the Yellowstone river with private access to fishing & boating/kayaking. Newly renovated with all new vinyl flooring & new carpets in the bedrooms plus 2 sparkling new modern bathrooms. Cozy and comfortable with space to lounge, read a book or whip up a gourmet meal. Sip your morning coffee on the porch & watch the bald eagles & osprey hunt for fish, grab a cold one in the evening as you grill out on the deck.

This is what our guests who quarantined here had to say:
"In the midst of chaos & uncertainty with COVID-19 in the news, this was the most perfect place to escape for social distancing. We are so sad to leave. The house felt like home, the views are breathtaking & the memories made are priceless. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with our family. We definitely hope to be back much sooner than later. Stay well."
Many Blessings,
The Lamborn Family

The guest bedrooms each have mountain views and sleeps two in each room. Amenities include a private boat launch on our land below the house.

Chico Hot Springs, a "must-visit" when in the area, is 10 minutes away by car. Chico is a resort and hot springs originally built in 1895. Chico today features an award-winning restaurant, saloon bar, two hot springs, a poolside grill and is an area favorite of locals and tourists alike

The nearby town of Emigrant is 10 minutes away also features a few great places to eat and an old-time general store that has at least one of Everything! Historic Livingston is 30 minutes by car. Gardiner and the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park are 45 minutes away to the south of us.

Come and visit Southwest Montana. We have crystal clear air, wide open spaces, lots to see and do or just sit and enjoy the privacy and the quiet in a perfect vacation setting.

Note: We do not have A/C! We keep the house cool & comfortable in summer by closing the blinds and windows during the day to keep out the heat & opening everything up on those cool montana evenings to let in the fresh mountain air.

Outstanding Riverfront!

This home was exactly as described in the listing. Everything was very clean and in order upon our arrival. There were many books and publications about the area and local activities. The firewood for the patio stove and a spare bottle of propane for the barbecue was a nice touch. We had a minor issue that required contact with the host and she responded quickly with a resolution. We will look to this listing first for our future trips to the area.

Family Time

I cannot say enough great things about our time in Montana. This house was the perfect location for what we were looking for. The views were breathtaking, the host was so responsive and provided everything needed to feel like home. The kitchen was very well stocked and supplies in the restrooms and laundry made our life easy without having to make extra trips to the store. Thank you for the hospitality we had a wonderful week.

Misleading

Views were fantastic as advertised. However, the rest of the property was not as advertised. Property exterior needs maintenance. Swing was broken, fire-pit was full of trash, fireworks and beer cans (which we had to clean in attempt to utilize, still didn't work since ashes haven't been cleaned (maybe ever). Lower are of property is most disappointing as it didn't appear to have been mowed this season. Grass was knee to mid-thigh. Swing and fire-pit in photo are non-existent. Shed is partially collapsed and inundated with weeds. The park bench at riverside is engulfed in grass as tall as the bench itself. Telescope in online photo for star gazing is non-existent. Miscellaneous swing parts and hammock parts strewn around the back porch, grill was a mess. Sunroom is very nick though windows don't appear to have been cleaned this season. Furnishings are comfortable and property is clean though exterior is rough. The swing had been broken apparently by a prior guest and tied back together, when we arrived, my son sat in it and it gave way jarring his back and busting his chin open requiring first aid. The only TV (not that we come to Montana each year to watch TV) is in the kids bedroom. We stay in the area every year and selected this property due to the photos on the website and the river access, neither were quite up to expectations upon our arrival.

Beautiful Montana

Everything about this house is great. There were tons of kitchen supply’s like pots and pans, condiments, spices, etc. Grill worked great, there was a solo stove for the cool nights. Plenty of towels. There were a couple chair hammocks as well. Kids (16/19 yrs) loved them. There were 5 of us there (16, 19, 21, and two parents). We all loved it. We stayed 4 nights and used it as home base for Yellowstone, Louis & Clark Caverns, hiking, and visiting with family in Montana. Would 100% return.

Incredible property right on the Yellowstone River

This place perfect, inside and out. Plenty of space inside for a family of 5 or 6, beautiful views, and very comfortable. The kitchen had more than the usual VRBO staples and kitchen equipment, which was very helpful. Communication with the host was very simple and friendly, and the check-in process was clear.

How to Restart your world!

Every element of this house was perfect for us! Mornings waking up to such a serene view- fantastic fishing just below the house, evenings remembering the wonderful day being a part of this community. Two weeks is the perfect amount of time to leisurely experience this area. Fishing, horse back riding, being lazy, grizzly watching high in the hills, picnics from the car - every stop is an opportunity. Sublime! Can’t wait for our return next year!

Stunning Views

The views from the house of the Paradise Valley and the Yellowstone River were fantastic. It was hard to tear your eyes away from those views! The house is a older ranch style house that has been very tastefully and thoroughly renovated. It had everything you need in a vacation rental. The photos provided accurately reflect what the house looks like. We were worried about heat, given the house is not shaded and not all windows open/have screens. But the two individual cooling units kept the house very comfortable during the day and the house cooled down naturally at night. The property manager was very responsive. We’d definitely come stay again!

This is a special place! It's the perfect location to relax and enjoy the views of the Paradise Valley and the Yellowstone River. There's lots to do in the valley - hiking, hot springs, floating the river are just a few. The property manager made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. We'll definitely be back!

I stayed here in late August with my family, and we absolutely loved this cozy house. It is situated with a gorgeous view of the Yellowstone River, with what seems like front row seats to the sunsets. The house is stocked and designed very well. We'd love to return if we can!

The views are amazing. Perfect place to get away from the city and crowded areas. Great for families, just have to be cautious with the little ones, because there’s a steep downhill to the river. Great communication with the owner and property manager.

Tranquil with stunning views

The entire booking process was excellent and Siobhan was in constant contact with us, exceptionally helpful and very friendly. The property served our family needs, it was well appointed and was by far the most equipped property I’ve ever stayed in...there was literally every amenity, utensil, and item you would need for your stay. The only flag is that the outside patio area is right on the edge of a very steep incline down to the river, and we had a rambunctious 4yr old with us, so we had to have hawk eyes to be sure she didn’t stumble over the edge! Just beware if you have Little’s. The unobstructed views were truly breathtaking, we were able to walk out the door and be on an historic Yellowstone trail! Amazing. The house is a tad remote and we were scratching around for activities for little kids, so plan ahead on that front. Evenings found us walking down the long driveway (sloped) down to the river to enjoy a fire and watch deer swimming across. So fun! Overall, absolutely excellent stay and amazing memories made!

Absolutely Beautiful! Wonderful Experience!

This was our first time using any vacation rental site, so we were a bit apprehensive and had A LOT of questions. The owner/property manager was super helpful. And the property was beyond our expectations. Amazing location and views. Beautiful interior to the home. We could not have been more pleased. We would love to come back and stay again. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Johns

Originally born in Indiana, I have spent half of my life coming out to the Rockies out of which grew my great love for Montana. My travels in and out of our national parks ultimately led me to fall in love with Pray, Montana.
I spend most of my time in Paradise Valley and even more now since we have the fluidity & flexibility of working from anywhere in the new, virtual world.

I look forward to sharing that love of the Valley with you!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this home and its' extraordinary location on the Yellowstone River. Perched on a bluff overlooking the river and flanked on both sides by mountain ranges.... truly Paradise!

What makes this property unique

You can fly fish from the river bank at any time, swim (july thru september- life preservers recommended), float the river in a tube or SUP, kayak, canoe or drift boat, raft or life preserver, picnic or just relax and watch the river flow by.
Note: the river is too high & fast in june from all the snow melt!
Deer frequently use the 1400 acre ranch land next door to the south as a river crossing. There are a pair of bald eagles that fish right from our cottonwood trees and patrol this portion of the river. Exotic white pelicans hang out at the island in front of the house & float downstream from june through the end of september......
