Had a great stay at this property. Beautiful view of the Yellowstone river - close to all the great things to do in the Livingston area. Would absolutely stay here again!
Nice getaway with river view. House was clean but smelled musty. Enjoyed the comfy couch & big tv. The house would be fun for couples or a family. We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the sun, having some wine & just de-stressing.

We found the property to be as described and well appointed with furnishings, kitchen cabinets stocked with all needed dishes, everything in working order. We did end up re-washing the provided towels as they smelled unclean and musty despite looking clean. Wonderful patios for overlooking the river. The neighbourhood was very quiet, very walkable, and had a resident herd of deer. Livingston was a great town and we enjoyed meals from Gil's Goods as well as Rosa's Pizza.
The home was exactly as described. Immaculately cleaned, uncluttered, tastefully decorated and equipped with all the kitchen essentials needed to cook and clean up after yourself. The bed was super comfortable as was the living room furniture. I was appreciative that we were allowed to bring our dogs as they are part of my family .
The 'Snowfill Dog Park' in Bozeman was awesome and would highly recommend this to anyone bringing pups along. It's 38 rolling acres giving both your dogs and owners a nice workout. We hiked Hyalite Canyon, which was beautiful. The roads were a bit icy getting to the top but if you drive carefully it's not an issue.
We loved this house and location. If we need to return for business (or pleasure) we'll definitely want to stay again.
