A great stay - once again.

This is the third time we have stayed at this property, and they never disappoint. The location is wonderful, not too far from Yellowstone, and still remote. Just what we wanted as we live in large cities.

We loved hosting you in our Elk Run Ranch home. So happy that you had a wonderful time exploring the area. There is so much to do and see, yet if you are in need of some relaxation, this is the perfect place to experience that too. We feel our property manager, Tanya, is the best. She is very knowledgeable about the area and she has many suggestions on what to see and do with the amount of time you have at our home.

Outstanding Yellowstone & Montana experience

House was beautiful, spacious and cozy. The views from the house were incredible, as was the area around the house - lots of wildlife and vista viewing right nearby! Convenient distance from Yellowstone’s north gate and cities like Livingston and Gardiner which had plenty of groceries, good restaurants, and anything else we needed. Would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful cabin with amazing views.

The property and cabin were amazing. The cabin was salacious for the size of our party, and was very nice. The property was perfect. The property was very peaceful with plenty of land to explore. We spent a good bit of our time just walking around the property and exploring. Communication was also great. Everytime I had question, Carol would always provide a sufficient response and gave us some great ideas, which was great especially since this was our first time to Yellowstone. I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed hosting you and your family. We love to share our MT home with everyone. There is so much to do and you have so much more to see. We have over 100 acres to explore the wildlife, look for geodes and pertrified wood. Not to mention so close to the Yellowstone River for all your water activities. We look forward to your next visit.
