About this property
Riverfront home w/private dock close to YNP in Paradise Valley - Yellowstone River Retreat
**Please note that there is a neighboring home on the property, which may or may not be occupied during your stay.**
The Yellowstone River Retreat is your quintessential Montana river front escape! Located on the banks of the famed Yellowstone River, this three-bedroom and two bath home is calling all fishermen. After a long day of fishing, kick back by the fire pit and relax to the sounds of the river while roasting marshmallows. The home is only a short drive to Gardiner, Chico Hot Springs and Livingston, that offers numerous shops, restaurants, and much more.
In the winter, you'll be able to spot herds of elk as Paradise Valley is their winter home. Take a day trip to Big Sky Resort to go skiing or check out Downtown Bozeman for some fantastic local shops and eateries. Paradise Valley is also a fantastic place to go cross country skiing, dog sledding or relax at one of the many hot springs in the area.
In the summer, Paradise Valley is just a short 15-minute drive from the north entrance of Yellowstone Park and all of the beauty and wildlife the park has to offer! The Yellowstone River is also a major hot spot for fly fishing! The valley is home to some of the best horseback riding in Montana as well as ziplining, hiking and river rafting.

This place never disappoints!! This was our second time staying here. Perfect central location to everything! Having the river right out your back door is just the icing on the cake.

What a beautiful home in a stunning setting. All we hoped for - and the location in the valley and by the river was superb. House was well appointed with everything we needed for a short stay. Highly recommended!

Best view of the valley ! We had our 31 year anniversary here! Had a great stay. Eugene @ Margie raffield
This property was amazing and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay and plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. The view is breathtaking and being right on the river was wonderful. We actually locked ourselves out of the house right when we got to the property and the operations manager was kind enough to come by to let us back in. We will definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay here. It’s a stunning location and was a great spot for us and our two kids. It is literally right in the banks of the Yellowstone. The house has a cabin-like feel and was clean and comfortable. The owners of the property were there at the house next door during our stay and they are just lovey, nice, and welcoming folks. We will stay here again!

thank you so much for leaving us a review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and this amazing location. We would love to have you back again sometime! Best, Summer V. Guest Service Manager.
Absolutely amazing property. Place is not huge but was plenty big for 4 adults and children. You are not going to want to spend much time inside. Great location between Livingston and North entrance to Yellowstone. Wwe hated to leave, and hope we will be back. If you want a beautiful view of the mountains and Yellowstone river this is your place.
This cabin was the best place we have ever stayed. Location was just beautiful and cabin was so cozy and decorated perfect for a Montana home. Property being on the Yellowstone River was amazing and just so relaxing and beautiful. Slept with the window open listening to the river flow. Can’t wait to return to this gorgeous place.

Beautiful property close enough to town but not too clise
We loved this property. Right on the river. Deeper and faster water than we would have liked even under low water conditions but still fantastic. Fishing from dock and shire was convenient and the surroundings are breathtaking. Easy drive to Yellowstone. Did a large portion of the park in one day. Mile 49 off the highway has a great spot to wade and play and fish where the river widens and gets shallow. Cold water! The house is perfect! Big yards to play in with bare feet worthy plushy grass. Fire pits and picnic tables and big wrap around porches. It’s lovely. Beds are good too. Kids lounge with puzzles and games too.

Thanks for staying Kristen, we would love to have you back!
We loved it. The location is easy to find and convenient to Yellowstone and Livingston. We loved being along the river. It was so peaceful. Our boys loved playing on the lawn and making smores out at the firepit.
The only negative is the size of the kitchen. It is very small of cooking for a big family. It is not stocked with everything you need. It has plenty of pots and pans but there is not a baking sheet or baking/casserole dish. It would not stop us from staying again at all. Just something to be aware of and prepare for.
We had a small issue while we were there and it was addressed and corrected quickly.
I recommend this property and hopefully we will be back.
We really enjoyed our stay. The property had amazing views and lots of wildlife visitors. We appreciated being able to fish just out the door. The house was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Tiny Kitchen
The setting is beautiful but for a place that sleeps 8, the kitchen is tiny. There is almost no counter space so if you are cooking for eight, you will find it challenging. Also, there is no access to the deck from the cabin. You must go outside first to access the deck. The views are beautiful but the upstairs toilet was not functioning when we arrived and it had to be fixed the next day. It was inconvenient because it is the only common bathroom and is also the only one for the upstairs bedroom. We were not compensated for the inconvenience. The host was not flexible on checkout time and not accommodating regarding repairs. We saw many deer and enjoyed the river!
We had everything that we needed for an amazing experience and only a short drive in either direction to resupply. Fishing off the dock was a luxury. Amazing views for sunrise/sunset and the star gazing was something special
We enjoyed our stay in this awesome house on the Yellowstone River . Would recommend and would enjoy staying there again

My family and I truly had the best time at this property. Amazing mountain views, home is right on the river, close enough to town and other activities in the valley, air conditioning in the main living space, tons of windows/light, very clean, plenty of seating options on the property (dock, outdoor fire pit, picnic tables, etc). Property management was receptive to any question or request we had. By far the best part was being able to put in or take out our kayaks right at the house! We definitely plan to come back.

We had an amazing time at your property. Accommodations were excellent. Quiet. Loved having coffee on the deck/dock area. Kids loved attempting to fish. Have already recommended your property to a friend who goes out there frequently. Would love to visit again.

Paradise Valley is one of the most breathtaking places in Montana. We are so thrilled to hear of another happy guest coming from Stay Montana. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Fantastic family vacation- amazing views, great location, and authentically decorated.
We had a fantastic visit and the cabin property is absolutely stunning. Pictures just don’t do it justice! Cabin is beautifully decorated with authentic furnishings, spacious, has AC (somewhat unique and weather in July was 85+). 15 mins to Livingston (North) and 45 mins to Gardiner/ YNP entrance (South). Will absolutely rent again!

Great location right on the river. Close to Livingston and Chico Hot Springs.
It was really hot during our stay and the A/C unit was amazing for keeping the place nice and cool.
Great location for outdoor adventures!

So happy to hear the AC was in great working condition for this unbearably hot summer we've been having. Most Montana properties do not have air conditioning as we don't need it. But this summer came in with a blast of overly hot air!
