Paradise Valley.

Lovely and convenient place to stay for our family reunion. Two bedrooms w Queen beds were great. Third bedroom w daybed and trundle are good for kids but not adults. We used the rollaway mattress on top of the trundle to make it more comfortable, but the trundle was very low and not great for older people. Porch has great chairs and beautiful view. Host communicated vety well and lives nearby if any needs arise.

Accommodating

Picked location near Northgate to Yellowstone and other activities. Gate was closed in misunderstanding on our part and Eleanor was only too accommodating adjusting our dates so we could leave early to camp in Yellowstone.

Paradise

We had an amazing stay at Elanor's rental in the paradise Valley. It comfortably fit our family, was very clean, had all the amenities we needed, and was in a great location. Elanor was the perfect host. She didn't hover, communicated promptly, and kept us up informed of anything important. It was a great stay!

Amazing

Everything was wonderful and as comfortable as we had hoped for when we booked or stay. Mrs. Eleanor was an amazing host and we felt almost like family just speaking with her even though she was usually working hard taking care of her amazing property. Beautiful views from the front porch and the house was adequately stocked to cook most anything which we did a lot of while we were there. I would book again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful guest home

My Dad, brother and I had a family event in Livingston and I was lucky enough to come across this property and book it. It was just as described. It's absolutely charming and very well-equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch with the view of the mountains. One evening, two deer strolled up to within feet of us on the porch! The location was great -- a few minutes to my Aunt's house and about 40 minutes to the North entrance of Yellowstone. Eleanor was a lovely hostess. She promptly replied to my questions before our stay and gave us good recommendations. Thanks, Eleanor, for sharing your guest home with us!

Spacious with amazing views and wonderful host.

We are three senior women who travel together a few times a year and our favorite destinations include scenery and wildlife viewing. Eleanor is a marvelous host and this guest house was perfect for us. She greeted us upon our arrival and answered texts morning and evening when we had questions. The guest house is quite large with three bedrooms, a large and well-stocked kitchen, dining table for at least six, spacious living room and a washer and dryer. There were ample linens included as well as extras we don't often find - shampoo, shower gel, lotion, condiments and spices, etc. It was unseasonably hot during the time we stayed but strategic use of open windows and fans in the cool morning and evening hours and closing the house up during the day kept us cool and comfortable. The view of the Beartooth Mountains and the proximity to the Yellowstone River were ideal. It is about a 30 mile easy drive to the North Entrance to Yellowstone and we were able to start our wildlife viewing along the road before we even reached the park, spotting elk, antelope and deer. One morning a fox scampered across the front yard of the guest house and another morning two deer sauntered by.

I left part of my heart in Montana...

How do I even begin to put words to the perfection of this property and it's hostess Eleanor? The guest house exceeded our hopes and expectations in every way. It was beautiful, peaceful, and extremely and well-furnished. She thought of everything and was so kind and gracious! No one in our family wanted to leave. This was the best vacation rental property we have ever stayed in and hope to have a reason to return in the future.

Short trip to Montana and Yellowstone

We booked the house with Eleanor and she was very sweet. The house was very well stocked and the perfect location for what we wanted to do and even got to bring our four legged friend. He enjoyed riding in the car with us sightseeing Yellowstone, Big Sky and just the breathtaking sights Montana has to offer. The weather got a little windy and cold but we made the best of our time that week and our son enjoyed fly fishing on the Yellowstone. Thank you so much Eleanor for sharing your house with us this week.

Wonderful property in beautiful Montana

If you are looking for a quiet retreat close to Yellowstone National Park, this is the place with the best landlord we have ever had in all our years using VRBO properties, this is it. Wonderfully provisioned, spacious, and comfortable!! We all loved it. I will recommend this property to our friends.

5A Guest House

We were beyond happy with our stay here. The guest house is much nicer than the pictures showed, which is usually the other way around! The house is fully and thoughtfully stocked up with everything you would need if you were traveling with very little. It was 30 min from Yellowstone north gate, lots of fishing access along that stretch of 89, and a short drive to Livingston. I highly recommend this place!

Paradise indeed!

This ranch style guest home is surrounded by the beautiful mountains. Well kept, cleaned, stocked and organized. Eleanor, has thought of and provided every amenity you can think of. The house is spotless. Central location, short drive to the grocery stores and gas stations. Yellowstone entrance is approximately 30 min from the house. Montana trails are less than 10-15 minutes away. The Yellowstone river is a stones throw away. We really enjoyed our stay in Montana. We are counting the days until we can return.

About the host

Hosted by Eleanor Harvey

My parents and I moved to MT from GA in 1997 after my youngest of three sons left home for college. We built O'Carroll's B&B (where I now reside) that year and then this guest house in 2003. As a transplanted southerner, I still get a thrill from the mountain views, the beautiful Yellowstone River, the wildlife, the rainbows, the glorious summers with low humidity; and yes, even the cold winter wonderland days. Now it is just I and my two standard poodles, Joie and Jacques, who operate the B&B and host the guest house and the cabin.

Why they chose this property

Our guest house is literally in the heart of Paradise Valley only 35 miles north of YNP's north gate. We are only 7 miles from Chico Resort with it's famous hot springs pool and fine dining. Fly fishing, hiking, horseback riding, white water rafting and quiet river floats, scenic airplane flights, rodeos, wildlife observation, and bird watching just begin the list of activities to be enjoyed.
