Stay in the Yellowstone area

This is a beautiful place to stay. The place is very clean and contained everything we needed to cook meals. There was even free bottled water and other extras for visitors. The views from the windows and balcony are spectacular. In the evenings we could often see wildlife. We found it to be an easy half hour drive to the north entrance of Yellowstone. We would certainly consider staying there again if we were in the area.

AMAZING Montana Experience

We booked a year ago, gracious hosts always responded quickly and thoroughly to any questions! This ‘piece of Paradise’ was so much more than expected. As our host told us, they have traveled a lot, and knew what they wanted when staying…They have put so much thought into this, and it shows! We had a check in Monday, check out Friday…all smooth. Easily accessible to Yellowstone, and so much more. If you don’t book this one, you’re missing out!

Spectacular views and beautiful house

What a lovely property! We had a wonderful stay, exploring the area and coming home to relax and enjoy the spectacular views in every direction. The house is spotless, the kitchen very well stocked, with many thoughtful touches throughout. Yellowstone is an easy drive to the south, with beautiful scenery throughout the valley. In the evenings we watched a small herd of mule deer graze near the property. Thank you to our hosts, we can easily recommend this home and would stay here again.

Piece of Paradise!!

This apartment was amazing and the views were spectacular. It was in a great location and close proximity to the north gate of Yellowstone. We spent almost every day of our trip in the park and it was great to be able to stop in Gardiner after a long day to get a bite to eat and a drink on the way back to the apartment. It was also great because it was about 10 minutes to Chico Hot Springs, which was perfect for a good soak after a day of travel and hiking. It was also close to where we booked horseback riding, which is a must do activity! This place has everything you will need and is so inviting the moment you walk in! ER and RuthAnn were very hospitable and made our stay awesome! We hope to be back someday and will definitely stay here again if we do!!

Perfect base for Yellowstone NP

This place is fabulous. The view is to die for, the amenities were excellent, the location (about 35 min to the north entry gate) was great. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. We arrived a couple hours before check in time and were admitted immediately. If I've left out any superlatives, just fill them in for me, and make your reservation.

Paradise should be given 500 stars!

It was perfect. It was only 1/2ish hour north from Yellowstone Park and was surrounded by mountains. A wonderful deck to enjoy them. It was so relaxing and quiet. The Hosts ER and RuthAnn were amazing. There Vrbo was so beautifully decorated like a 5 star hotel and they even had bear spray (which thank god didn't need), and Tylenol, Ibuprofen, ample cooking supplies, etc, etc etc. We would highly recommend this place and we plan on returning hopefully next year. Loved it! Thank you ER and RuthAnn it was truly a wonderful getaway from Kansas.

Paradise in Paradise Valley

Rental was incredibly clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable. Perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring/enjoying the valley’s many outdoor offering. Stunning 360 degree views and wildlife watching right from the deck. ER and RuthAnn (owners) are wonderful people, very accommodating and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.

FANTASTIC!

We had the privilege of spending three nights in this beautiful apartment. Do not hesitate to reserve it for your trip to Paradise Valley. It is perfectly located to visit Yellowstone National Park, Livingston, Chico and many other small and delightful places in the area. The apartment is well equipped but spacious. The bed is very comfortable and bathroom roomy and nice. You could easily prepare all your meals in the beautiful kitchen. The living room has ample comfy seating for stretching out at the end of the day. There are stunning mountain and valley views in every direction! The stars on a clear night are unbelievable too. We really hated to leave. We will consider this our Montana “home” and look forward to the day we can return.

Best VRBO Stay Yet!

This is by far my favorite stay while traveling! I cannot recommend this property enough. We will try to make this our stay every year for our annual Yellowstone trip. This house is gorgeous and surrounded by mountains. This house was so nice that it made staying in and relaxing seem just as great as going out and exploring. The house is stocked with everything you could need and has all the cookware that you do at home.

Beautiful and immaculate home near Yellowstone north entrance

We stayed 5 nights in this beautiful home 30 minutes from the Yellowstone north entrance. It was our home base for our entire Yellowstone trip. Secure electronic entry, safe off street parking and the property owners live right next door. Great communication and service from ER and Ruthann. When we needed support they were prompt and courteous.Such a gracious and hospitable couple. The kitchen is the largest and most well equipped vacation home kitchen I have ever used and we are frequent vacation home rental users. Good knives!! Keurig, coffee maker, blender and grilling tools for use of the large gas grill as well as ample glass ware ,utensils and plates. Fridge stocked with basic condiments and kitchen had oil, cook spray and salt and pepper. Space was perfect for a couple traveling together. Bed very comfortable as were the living room furnishings. Each space has its own heating and cooling so one can choose comfort level. Bathroom and shower just the right size and plenty of towels. Laundry availability was wonderful as we were midway through a 12 day trip. Apple charging cords in the living room. The pictures online only hint at the beauty and comfort of this rental home. We would definitely return if traveling in the area again. Pricing is excellent. We have spent more per night on hotel accommodations with less space and comfort. The location and the view from this home of the mountains near Yellowstone is unrivaled. If you are looking for a space for your home base for Yellowstone or Bozeman/Livingston look no further.
