Mountain View Getaway

COME VACATION IN PARADISE VALLEY, THE GATEWAY TO YELLOWSTONE! Don't just dream it ... do it!
This is your home while in Paradise. Relax, enjoy and stay awhile. Return to this comfortable, cozy getaway after a wonderful day touring Yellowstone National Park. Tour the park, hike the trails, photograph the wildlife, wade the stream, barbecue your dinner, or simply relax and let the scenery take your breath away!
This cabin is the perfect find for location, relaxation, and magnificent views for a great price! Our little slice of Paradise is perfect for a relaxing and fun-filled vacation you are sure to remember for years to come. Grab your camera and a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, step outside this cozy Getaway and enjoy the majestic views. Search for any of the many animals that frequent this Paradise Valley gem! Sit on the bench by the creek and listen to the rippling of the clear water as you watch a stunning sunset. This cozy and unique rental attracts honeymooners each year because they love the quiet, privacy of this secluded cabin, as well as the super cozy atmosphere inside.

Emigrant Peak's 10,915 feet of beauty is framed by the window in the den. It rises in the distance and provides the perfect setting for a stunning sunset with a fantastic view of the mountains. Eight Mile Creek runs through the property attracts bald eagles and osprey as they hunt the creek for fish. Once you settle in, take a stroll to the creek and dip your feet in or sit and read to the music of rippling water. Children love to play in the cool refreshing water in late summer. You can oftentimes see pronghorn antelope grazing on the bluffs across the road and mule and whitetail deer frequent the property year round.

A private, sheltered barbecue and outdoor dining area give you views of the mountains surrounding the property where you can share memories of the day's events or enjoy the amazing night sky. A welcoming fire pit provides the perfect setting for reminiscing about the day's activities. We have had many travelers who have told us what a find this place was, not only for the location but for the price. One couple even called it a 'diamond in the rough.'

Mountain View Getaway is centrally located in Paradise Valley, just one mile from the Yellowstone River, famed for fly fishing and scenic and whitewater rafting just minutes away in Gardiner, Montana. Horseback riding can easily be arranged at nearby ranches. There are many hiking trails in the valley as well as in the park. This superb location is 30 miles north of Yellowstone National Park, 20 miles south of the quaint little town of Livingston, and two miles north of the historic town of Emigrant, Montana. It is also 10 minutes from Chico Hot Springs Resort, The Old Saloon (known for summer concerts), Sage Lodge with its stunning views, the Outpost for a casual quick meal, Follow Yer Nose BBQ, all outstanding restaurants. Music Mountain, another popular music venue, is 15 minutes away as well.

The rental is on the second floor of a decorative barn, which never housed animals. It is located on Old Yellowstone Trail North, which was originally cited as a buffalo trail, then Trail Creek Road, and then under the current name because it served as the stagecoach trail to Yellowstone National Park after the park opened and before a railroad spur was built to the park.

Emigrant Peak is framed by the living room window where you can sit and relax after an adventurous day in nearby Yellowstone National Park. The cabin's theme is wildlife: moose, deer, bighorn sheep and bison adorn the walls and linens. The large private bedroom has a queen-sized bed and huge closet with washer and dryer, and the living room couch easily folds out into a comfy queen-sized sleeper. The full kitchen and bath have everything you need to make your stay feel just like home. Most guests enjoy the cozy feel of the cabin and extra special personal touches provided by the owners who will do everything possible to please their guests! You won't be disappointed.

The biggest attraction, Yellowstone National Park, is a beautiful 34-mile drive from the cabin. The drive south down Highway 89 places you at Roosevelt Arch, the northwest entrance into Yellowstone National Park. While traveling, you will likely see more wildlife not to mention the majestic peaks of the Absaroka/Beartooth mountain range to the east and the Gallatin range to the west.

Within 5 miles of the cabin is Chico Hot Springs, which is a year-round resort with two hot springs pools, an exquisite dining room and a family friendly grille. At night, the Old Saloon hosts various local bands featuring a mixture of genre to satisfy your musical choice. The Yellowstone River, a short mile away, boasts some of the best fishing for rainbow trout. Or, if you like, you can float the river! The mountains in Paradise Valley have numerous hiking trails -- but don't forget your bear spray! Paradise Valley offers many adventures and Mountain View Getaway is located right in the middle of all it has to offer. Adventure in Paradise awaits!

Fantastic retreat in Paradise Valley

Well appointed and positioned for adventures in and around the valley, the Mountain View Getaway certainly lived up to its name with a panoramic view of the mountain peaks to wake up to, and served as a great home base for our family to return to after a day enjoying all the area has to offer.

Scenic location close to Yellowstone

Great stay at this beautiful guest house. Wonderful view of the mountains from the living room. Our host, Melody, had it stocked with everything you need. Very easy to get to Yellowstone, and the nearby town of Livingston has stores and dining options. We'll definitely come back if we are in the area again!

Incredible place and people!!

Melody & Gene have provided an incredible place to stay!! They are incredible, knowledgeable and kind people who gave us some great advice and helped us to make our 5 year anniversary incredible! The property was ideally located and provided us with a comfortable, well furnished place to stay after long days at Yellowstone. The views are an extra added bonus, especially the night sky! Everything about this place is perfect and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay close to Yellowstone, but away from all of the tourists!!

Delightful Cabin with Awesome Views!

This cabin not only has fabulous views of the mountain range, but is a delightful place to hang out after a day of adventures. It is very clean, decorated nicely, comfortable bed, and has a cozy feel to it and is stocked with everything you need. The owners live on the property not far from the cabin but they are very respectful of your privacy. In fact, it was an advantage because I was able to get more insight about things to do and places to go from Melody which was very helpful. Check out the BBQ place and the bakery in Emigrant, Chico Hot Springs for a day as a guest to soak in the hot springs after a day of hiking, and of course it’s not to far of a drive to Y Stone North entrance by way of Gardiner.

Best trip ever!

We absolutely loved the cabin. Everything was very new, nice, and immaculately clean. Perfect for access to YNP's north gate, Bozeman (great for shopping), and Gardnier. The most breathtaking area I've ever seen. We loved watching the big horn sheep from the living room portrait window. The owners were very kind and gracious. Highly recommended!

Super cute with amazing views!

My family had a great time here while visiting Yellowstone! It was so nice to have so many things so close (restaurants, gas station, Chico hot springs for the pool, the river for fishing, etc). Extremely clean, very nicely furnished, comfortable, loved having a washer and dryer, and did I mention the views!? OMG! Beautiful and just the best. THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful place with us!

Relaxing Getaway

Melody left the outside lights on for us which was very helpful and welcoming. We were able to sleep in and then enjoy coffee with a beautiful view. The Old Saloon is about 3 miles away. They serve a tasty breakfast. Next, Chico Hotsprings for a long soak. The cabin was relaxing for an early evening nap. The cabin is perfect! We were celebrating our 9th anniversary. Looking forward to many more visits! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Melody Yoes

Host profile image
My husband and I are Louisiana born and spent our entire lives vacationing each summer to Yellowstone and the Tetons. We have five sons, now grown and married, and we are blessed with eleven grandchildren! Our dream for retirement was to move to this area and we are now living that dream. We are eager to welcome others to the beauty and serenity we found in this special location in Paradise and have outfitted this rental just for this purpose. It is filled with animal photographs taken by us and rustic, western decor that we hope will make anyone's stay superb! Welcome to Paradise for an unforgettable vacation! The picture above is of four of our grandchildren playing in 8-mile creek behind out house.

Why they chose this property

Spectacular views! Clean as a whistle. Beautifully decorated with Western Decor. A few short miles from fishing on the Yellowstone River. Yellowstone National Park is only 30 short minutes away. Chico Resort is five minutes from the doorstep. Bring your wine and binoculars and your astronomy knowledge and you will feel like you're in heaven! When you wake up you will realize it's only Paradise!

What makes this property unique

Proximity to Yellowstone and Chico Hot Springs and the town of Livingston and Gardiner is excellent. You will be awestruck with the beautiful vistas, animals and easy in/out access. Summer, winter or fall, this one-of-a-kind cabin is cozy and inviting for any traveler. We have had many travelers who have told us what a find this place was. One couple even called it a 'diamond in the rough.' It has every amenity you could ask for.
