remote farm house
The remoteness of this house was what we were looking for. You could hear the creek which ran next to the house even with the widows closed.The log interior was a nice piece of history along with the papers found during the renovation. Thanks for a memorable stay.

Montana Getaway
Montana is truly a magnificent state to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed Bryan’s cabin and only had to hop in the car for minutes to fish the Yellowstone River, grab a coffee at Chico Hot Springs or get some BBQ in Emigrant. It’s also very close to the north entrance of Yellowstone. We cannot wait to return one day…thanks Bryan for a fantastic stay!

Peaceful Retreat
We loved staying at the Placer cabin. Rich in history and beauty, and convenient to everything Paradise Valley has to offer. While we enjoyed exploring, we found ourselves eager to get back to the cabin to enjoy the front porch and take in the views. Bryan is a wonderful host. We will definitely return!

Soothing
This was our second stay at the home. We fell in love with it the first time and enjoyed coming back. Soothing, relaxing, peaceful, quiet, and functional. Well stocked. Love the exposed logs. Updates are great. Powerful shower, nice to have 2 bathrooms. Brian is sooooo responsive. He answers questions immediately and stopped by when we had trouble with WIFI. Use the instructions in the home, not on VRBO. Highly recommend.

Peaceful
My daughter and I spent a long weekend at the cabin. It is very peaceful and quiet. The creek that runs behind the property adds to the property's country feel. We will definitely try to plan another long weekend at Placer Cabin. I had an issue with my car and Brian had someone there within 20 minutes to help me. Thank you, Brian!

Perfect getaway
The property was perfect for our family. The boys loved that they had their own space and separate beds upstairs. It was great to have a full kitchen to do evening meals at home and breakfast in the morning. Kitchen stocked with essentials. The location was great, beautiful mountain views. Took a nice walk up the road and it is so serene and peaceful. It was conveniently located 45 min from Yellowstone park. Hope we can visit again.

Wonderful Property
We stayed 6 nights in the Placer Canin. It was a perfect location. A short ride to Gardiner/Yellowstone or up to Bozeman area. Chico Hot Springs is a must do for the springs or dinner. We really had a wonderful time and reconnect as a family. By far our favorite family vacation. We went to a Rodeo in Jackson Hole, Whitewater Rafting on the Yellowstone River and Horseback Riding in Gardiner. The Cabin had everything we needed and is fully equipped for cooking meals. it has a Large bathroom shower. The second half bath came in handy having 5 people in the house. Our children had the second floor while we had the first floor bedroom. It worked out perfectly. We can not wait to come back for another visit.

Would give a 10 star review if possible!
My family of 6 enjoyed their stay tremendously! Everything was perfect to say the least.. Such a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean, spacious & beautiful! The cabinets had plenty of dishes, cookware, silverware etc. (plus a bbq grill outside) They loved the creek running behind the house. Most nights were spent with the windows raised to hear the relaxing rushing water to go to sleep too. It was the perfect location.. The Hot springs at Chico is just down the road for family entertainment in the pool, food, or weekend night bands in the saloon for the adults. The landscape was beautiful of blooming flowers, and a big yard that my grandson's were playing catch ball in. The big front porch was a gathering place during the evenings with tables, chairs & rocking chairs. I highly recommend staying here! All you need is your clothes, (there is a washer and dryer by the way) snacks, & food for the fridge if you'd like. The local general store is just down the road for necessities that you may need, along with several other eateries & Yellowstone Park is just approximately 30 miles away. Thank you again host Brian.. everything was perfect!

Great cabin in the middle of nowhere
Great cabin - well kept & clean. Only (slight) downside is that it's pretty off the beaten path & a little long to get to if you are going to explore Yellowstone like we did.

Quiet and peaceful canyon retreat - 🏔️
The view and location are outstanding. The cabin is cozy, very clean, and comfortable. At night, outside the cabin it was intensely dark and quiet - a wonderful bonus. It’s no small thing to not have light that blocks the stars or traffic that annoys. The creek running alongside the cabin was an added bonus. It reminded me of the way Montana used to be. 4 of us traveled from Missoula (mom, grandma) and Denver (daughter, her boyfriend) to the Paradise Valley for a family wedding being held at Chico Resort. We were grateful to be so close (just under 2 miles), but also having space. The cabin reminded me of my grandma’s rustic (Montana) mining camp cabin except for having plumbing, electricity, and WiFi and the accoutrements that come with those conveniences. We took advantage of hiking 2 miles to the cascades and barely saw a soul. My only negative comment is that there were no coffee or laundry detergent. I am also a VRBO host have many supplies provided for guests. It was a small inconvenience and I would go back in a heartbeat! 🌞🌿

Beautiful rustic getaway
Great rustic cabin in the PERFECT location (near Gardiner, Yellowstone North entrance, Livingston, Bozeman and so many more towns and sites we didn’t have time to explore). We absolutely loved falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the stream flowing right outside the "back door" so to speak. We hiked from the cabin up to some falls, which I highly recommend (forgot the name of the falls, but all that info is posted in the cabin). We were also within walking distance to Chico Hot Springs (it has a great gift & coffee shop as well as a local bar & grill with tasty eats). We totally enjoyed our stay, 5 nights wasn't near enough! Highly recommend!!

We loved our stay. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. It was located very close to the Chico hot springs that are very nice to soak in after a day of hiking in Yellowstone. We also took a nice walk up the road to the waterfall that was absolutely beautiful.

One word: amazing!
Our stay at Placer cabin was just that - amazing! Brian was very communicative & stopped in a couple of times to check on us and educate us on the area. Beautiful location for our family of 4 to enjoy the park, but also just enjoy the area itself. We traveled from states away but felt right at home with all of Brian's attention to detail. If we are ever in Montana again, we would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Brian!

About the host

Hosted by Bryan

Host profile image
My name is Bryan and I have lived in Montana, in the Paradise Valley, for all of my adult life. When I am not exploring our property on Emigrant Creek with my faithful standard poodle and lovely wife, I am working in the Valley or Yellowstone National Park. I love this area and can give advice on where the best spots are.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I finished remodeling this cabin 2013. We thought it important to restore the logs on the inside for all to enjoy the rich history of the building. Here is where the hand work of generations past can be seen and appreciated.

What makes this property unique

The full length porch allows sitting and enjoying the cool breeze that always comes down the creek in the evenings. Our proximity to Chico Hot Springs is also a luxury with their fine dining and hot water spring pools for swimming.
