About this property

Crabapple Cabin-Secluded Cabin on the Banks of the Yellowstone River

Montana doesn't get any more real than this. We invite you to our secluded historic cabin 30 feet away from the Yellowstone River in the heart of Paradise Valley. Come and stay awhile, watch the river go by and listen to the sounds of the Yellowstone River's great birds moving over the river from the cabin deck. If you're quiet, you can hear the wind from their wings in flight just feet away from you.

You may want to play a little game of horseshoes before grilling up a good dinner on the barbecue grill. Toss in your fishing line from the property's banks or launch a raft and sail away. Or you could just soak up the sights and sounds until your appetite gets you moving to dine at Chico or the many other nearby dining choices.

The manicured mature trees and shrubs on the property provide an idyllic park-like setting. There is a fire pit and benches for a relaxing evening fire, long conversations and marshmallow roasting. Count on having an all-wheel drive vehicle for the driveway. It's a steep one!

Guests must have an all-wheel drive vehicle. The driveway down to the cabin is very steep. Front wheel drive vehicles do not have enough power to make it up the driveway. Owners can assist guests with non all-wheel drive with options to access the cabin upon request. Do not attempt to drive down the driveway pulling an RV, or trailer unless approved by owner first.

Heavenly Cabin

We enjoyed our week's stay at Crabapple Cabin. Our dogs enjoyed the large backyard to run around and play fetch. The cabin was the perfect distance from Yellowstone, Livingston, and hiking in the mountains. We enjoyed learning about the history of the cabin and watching the wildlife. We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay at a very beautiful setting.

Peaceful and secluded cabin

Our stay at the Crabapple Cabin was terrific. The cabin had spectacular access to the Yellowstone River and we really enjoyed being able to fish from the riverbank. The quiet and privacy of the cabin is exactly what we needed to relax and recharge.

Beautiful place! The host welcomed us and gave us a quick tour, showing where everything is. Then, he left us alone. The cabin was very clean and easy to live in for the 4 days we were there. We couldn't ask for a more peaceful place to spend time, whether it was drinking morning coffee on the porch or by the riverside, watching the eagles and even a beaver, or spending evenings watching deer and again, the eagles. We would come again!!
Numerous deer, many with fawns, also call this place home.

Restful Rustic Authentic Cabin

Crabapple Cabin is definately an authentic cabin. It was originally in Yellowstone. Ralph bought it an had it moved to the current location. It is located along the Yellowstone River. There was lots of trees, wildlife, shade, access to fishing and lots of rest, relaxation, and quietness. Made our adventure to Montanna even more enjoyable and authentic staying in the cabin. Would highly recommend this cabin!

Family fun in Montana!!

We really enjoyed the peace and quiet in this cottage by the river. The cottage has everything you need and is well equipped for travelers. Loved sitting in the chairs next to the river in the shade everyday. Several nice restaurants and fun music venues close by. Really pleased with visit to Yellowstone Hot Springs and rafting down the Yellowstone River. Fly fishing was great. Pine Creek never disappoints. Perfect time in Montana as always!

Crabapple Cabin

We had a wonderful week at Crabapple Cabin. For a private spot along the Yellowstone River, it can't be beat. Our dog loved the large yard and we loved the views of the river and the Beartooth Mountains to the east and the Gallatins to the west. The cabin is small but comfortable. Jackie and Ralph are wonderful hosts. All was great!

Thank you so much Jackie and Ralph for sharing your cabin with us! We loved everything about the history of the cabin and how beautifully restored it was. The property is magical in every way. Being right on the river and having the ability to walk along the shore was everything we needed with the pups! We would love to come back!

Perfect River Property

We loved the cabin - secluded, right in the river. We did need our 4WD to get up and down the hill! The beds were heaven - super, super, super comfy. Ralph and Jackie were wonderful hosts - even loaning us a cooler! We loved it. Would definitely go back!

About the host

Host profile image
Ralph and I bought this property soon after we were established with a job in Yellowstone National Park. We fell in love with Yellowstone and the unparalleled beauty of Paradise Valley. After searching real estate for a long time, the opportunity to purchase this property became available and the rest is history.
