Right on the Yellowstone & Best Views of Paradise Valley..30 min to Yellowstone

**Official Cancellation Policy (VRBO template will not allow this option)
You may cancel at any time and receive a full refund AS long as I am able to re rent your stay. We encourage you to obtain travel insurance which can be obtained for a very reasonable cost. Csatravelinsurance.com is just one of many companies that offer this insurance.

This 4000 square foot home sits on the Yellowstone River in the true heart of the aptly named Paradise Valley, right along the “Miracle Mile” between Mill Creek and Pine Creek. There are truly no better views of Paradise Valley than those enjoyed from this home. Even old time native Montanans rave about the views from the backyard. A quick 30-minute drive to Yellowstone National Park to the south, 15 minutes to the genuine small-town feel of Livingston to the north and 35 minutes to Bozeman.

Five bedrooms and four baths await you, but the living space is done no justice by such a simple description. The huge master (over 500 square feet, with king bed) has a spacious sitting area with a pair of indoor chaise lounges to enjoy that book and the views away from the kids, but still able to view them playing in the gorgeously grassy backyard.

The two remaining upstairs bedrooms, both decorated with brand new furniture suites, one king, one queen with European bedding. These two bedrooms share a full bath loaded with such nice touches as ample, new, plush towels and a few toiletries to make you feel at home immediately.

The fully-finished downstairs has yet another newly-furnished bedroom, with queen bed and Swedish-country styling. A short walk away is the gigantic “bunkroom,” featuring three double beds, individual nightstands, and its own sitting area with sofa and loveseat.

To make sure every beautiful Montana day is followed by a great night’s sleep, all the home’s mattresses are brand-new Sealy Posturpedic; each topped by a fluffy down comforter.

[Here's a clarification of our maximum occupancy: if the group is all adults, the maximum occupancy is 11. Green Acres Lodge may accommodate up to 14 total people, but only if 6 of them are children small enough (and willing enough!) to share the 3 full-size beds found in the bunkroom. These limits assure your comfort...]

So you feel that you “lose your own space” while on vacation? Well, no worries here! There are huge living areas on both floors!

Upstairs is a large living area with commanding, breath-taking views of the Yellowstone River and the 12,000 foot Absaroka Mountains. And for your after-dark entertainment, there is a TV with YouTube TV and DVD. A massive stone wood-burning fireplace completes the area.

Like to eat some meals more casually, and others more formally? Or perhaps separate the kids from the adults? No problem! A dining room area, complete with new, Swedish contemporary dining suite to seat ten and an equally new Swedish country breakfast nook table to seat six flank the upstairs kitchen. Fully stocked with 15 sets of dishes, multiple glassware styles, and flatware, the kitchen shows that we keep our renters in mind.

A stocked spice cupboard, specialty cooking tools, multiple pots and pans, and knives that actually cut can make your in-home meals fun. And everything from placements to cloth napkins and napkin rings to glass candlesticks mean a romantic meal is well within reach, despite being in the heart of Yellowstone Country.

Prefer to cook outdoors? There’s also an oversized gas barbecue grill on the deck with a table to enjoy a dinner or drinks with the ultimate view.

But wait, there’s more!

Downstairs is a second living area with two full-size couches for extra space to “get away” with it’s own flat screen TV. But what’s that behind one of those sofas? A dartboard! And beyond? A pool table, with plenty of seating (from comfy wingbacks, to “ready-for-my-next-shot” upholstered stools) for participants and spectators alike.

While the thought of you spending a single minute attending to business makes us want to rescue you, we recognize that communications continuity is sometimes a necessity, even while in Paradise. We offer unlimited high-speed internet access (wired in one upstairs bedroom, wireless throughout the house).

An extensive professional landscape surrounds the home, with 10,000 square feet of luxurious sod to take that nap while listening to the river. A regulation horseshoe pit provides old-time fun while you take in the views.

We know the little things can really make a difference...so, there's
a cooler and daypack for your excursions, a popcorn popper for staying in, simple games and toys for the little ones, and books to read--from fiction to local area lore and guides, to literature.

Walk right down to the river to fish... some of the best fishing on the Yellowstone is right from this home (JT has personally caught 15 trout in an hour here).

Yellowstone National Park is only a 30-minute drive away, short enough for day trips, so you can enjoy your home away from home every evening... it stays light until 10:00pm here in the summer!

Located five miles from world-famous Chico Hot Springs with live music every weekend and the best restaurant in all of Montana. Head 15 miles into historic Livingston with art galleries and restaurants galore. Plenty of skiing is within reach: Big Sky is 70 minutes away, and Bridger Bowl is only 50.

Please note there is currently a hot tub…but there is no guarantee there will be a hot tub during your stay. Once the current hot tub is not able to be repaired at a reasonable cost, we will no longer offer a hot tub at this home.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The views are awesome (not quite as isolated as the pics portray) we loved the large layout and it was fully stocked. I understand it takes a lot of time to clean a large house but 5:00 is too late of a check in. In fact we arrived at 5:15 & the cleaners were still there, left linens in the dryer & dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The owner texted me privately (not through VRBO) on our 3rd day there to ask to install a new dishwasher the next day. I explained we’d been gone all day the previous days and tomorrow was our “off” day & that we prefer he didn’t come. He never replied. After arriving back from lunch the next day he was there-unannounced. He planted flowers, mowed the grass & kicked us out of the hot tub.He claimed we left the hot tub uncovered and running for 24 hours (it was running but only an hour tops & the filter was in the grass) & that we had turned it green. (It was slightly cloudy at best). He meticulously mowed the grass all while we’re trying to enjoy the views, begin grilling dinner and standing by in swimsuits. We got a thorough lesson on how hot tubs work and declared the kids “probably couldn’t get back in”. He finally left a little past 5:00. FIVE HOURS this man spent with us on our once in a lifetime, very pricey vacation. These maintenance issues should be done when the house is not occupied. He was very rude, condescending and unprofessional. I would never rent from him again. There are plenty of other homes to choose from. Keep scrolling!

Life on the Yellowstone
This property is aptly and as described in the VRBO listing. Communication with the owner was good and he quickly responded to my queries. My suggestion would be to change the check in and departure times. Check in make it earlier than 5:00 and check out later than 10:00. Those are late hours after traveling and early before leaving. Understand it takes time to turn over properties, but most hotels have a more generous check in and out policy. Otherwise, the house was well stocked with kitchen items and spices. Comfortable living room and great views of the Yellowstone River and mountains beyond. The hot tub worked when we were there which was great. Two levels made it easy to separate adults with no kids and adults with kids.

Perfect Spot in the Valley
This place was the perfect stay in the valley. Unfortunately the weather didn't agree with our ambitious plans during our stay, but this property ended up being a wonderful place to hang out throughout the rain. The different areas to congregate left us never feeling crowded

Too hot with too many bugs.
Expect the house to be hot and filled with bugs in the summer. There is no air conditioning, so the home slowly bakes in the sun. With all the shades closed, the interior temperature reached 79 degrees when it was only in the mid 80’s outside. Even when keeping all the doors and windows closed, the house filled up with bugs. We couldn’t use one of the bedrooms because without ever even opening the window in that room, it was filled with hundreds of flying insects coming in through gaps in the window. Each day, the sinks and showers would be littered with new carcasses of insects. The walls and blinds were studded with bug carcasses. We woke up to bugs in the beds. Every meal at the dining room table was like a picnic, in that ants and flys couldn’t be kept out of the food. When I informed the owner, JT, that the bug problem was out of control, he called to YELL at me, stating that it was my fault because I didn’t close the screen door to the front door the first night (the door had been propped open by his staff, and the front door itself was closed). He knew the screen door was open because watches the home through several security cameras he has mounted around the property. He was difficult to deal with due to his vocal escalations. I wouldn’t stay in the property again if it were free.

We had such an amazing time! We saw 2 moose, too many deer to count, even a fox! The view of the river is beautiful! The beds were so comfy! My granddaughter that is 3 started crying when it was time to leave and stated she never wanted to leave this place. We really had that much fun! We had 4 couples and 2 kids and this place was more than enough room! We hope to be back!

Yellowstone River Home 10/2022
Great Location 50 minutes north of the park and 15 minutes to Livingston. The views are unbelievable, and the backdrop of the Yellowstone River is incredible. The home has a well-equipped kitchen with just about any seasoning you could want. Sitting on the back porch and listening to the river is a must. JT was quick to respond to our questions and was on point with his suggestions. Hopefully we will be able to get there again.

Nice house
Plenty of space, bathrooms and kitchen had all the essentials. The view of the river and mountains was awesome. It was great that there are 4 bedrooms for all my wife and I and our 3 kids and their spouses. The bunk room with 3 beds worked out well for the grandchildren. Over all, I don’t think anyone had anything to complain about and a good time was had by all.

Family Summer vacation 2022
The home we stayed in was by far in the poorest condition of any we have stayed at for the last 8 years. The advertising photos made the home look really nice but in reality a few of the cupboard doors would not close, the basement bathroom shower dripped all day and the paint was peeling on the walls from that. It was exceeding hot in the home during the day as the windows and doors are quite old and very inefficient. We used blankets to block the sun so that helped. We were confined to a very small area so there was nowhere to even take a good walk. Every where around us was private property so we were not able to go very far without trespassing. The ad made it look like we had a huge property for our grandkids to run around in and in reality there was a small fenced in yard with hardly any room to play. We did have a lot of beds which was nice and the view from the deck (also warn out) was beautiful but the home itself was very expensive and not at all worth the money we spent. We would not rent this home again and are now concerned about the next time we rent a VRBO.

The flood of 2022
The location of the property was ideal for our family activities. The views of the mountains and the river were fantastic. We had a group of 10 and had ample room and never felt crowded. We were unfortunate to be there at the time of the great flood of 2022. Yellowstone was closed before we had a chance to get there and were a little bummed out. JT was in touch with us during the flooding and tried to keep us informed. We found other activities in the area to stay busy and still had a wonderful vacation. The only complaint we had was that the house was a bit dated and could use some face lifts,but was still very livable. We would very much recommend staying here though.

Great location
Best views of The Valley from the deck in the morning w coffee to evening happy hour. Hot tub same views. We incorrectly assumed the River was for us to enjoy all along its banks, I guess we made the assumption from the photos, however, access is obtained by walking a bit to the beach area where there is shade and a picnic table to enjoy. Still lucky to have River access, just can’t drive to it, nor walk on the private land between house and river. I would def stay here again. House is big enough for all to spread out, kitchen well appointed and organized, pool table, horseshoes and darts also. Owner very handy to communicate with. And beautiful yard w big shade trees to relax under.thank you for sharing your property, JT!

Family Vacation
This home was all it was advertised and more. Very comfortable and well appointed. Less than 45 minutes to Yellowstone North entrance which is much less crowded than going in through West Yellowstone. So much room in this house to find a quiet place to relax or enjoy the open concept upstairs that allows conversation between those cooking in the kitchen and others lounging in the living room.

About the host

Hosted by JT Theobald

Host profile image
JT Is from Florida originally, but has been firmly rooted in Montana for 20 years. I feel very fortunate to have a place in the aptly named Paradise Valley, Montana. I like nothing better than being home during the summer months with fishing, hiking, Yellowstone Park and The Yellowstone River...right out my doorstep. With long days to savor all the activities and perfect evenings on the River to rejuvenate your soul for the next day, there really is nowhere else I'd rather be!

Why they chose this property

This location seems just about perfect. Close to the charming towns of Bozeman and Livingston, yet set in a very private setting right on the Yellostone River. While it is a short 30 minute drive to Yellowstone National Park, you'll spend most of your time at the home which is in the very best part of Paradise Valley (which is the first 15 miles South of the town of Livingston). The home is also very close to Chico Hot Springs, a long time Montana tradition for their water, food, drink and activities.
