Our family just had a wonderful stay at Querencia Lodge for my Dad’s milestone bday. Joe and his team were incredibly welcoming and helpful with lots of tips that made our visit more enjoyable. Querencia Lodge is clean and comfortable and the surrounding landscape is gorgeous. We enjoyed many a stunning sunset and occasional rainbow sitting in the outside lounge / fire pit area.  The Yellowstone River is a stone’s throw away for trying your hand at fly fishing or enjoying an easy float down the river.  The Lodge is in an excellent location - very close to Emigrant General store, a gas station, Wildflour Bakery (for coffee too), Follow Yer Nose BBQ, and Chico Hot Springs - and 30 min from Livingston.  As an added bonus, Querencia Kennels is right next door and our kids esp enjoyed meeting Joe’s dogs and the new dogs coming to stay at the kennel. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay!

Fantastic property! Joe is an awesome host and a lot of fun. He knows everything about the area and what to do. Loved walking out the door and fishing the Yellowstone. We had everything we needed to cook for 15 people. Evenings by the fire pit were a great way to end the day. We will be back!!!

Family and Friends Get Away

We had a great time at the Lodge. Joe is an excellent host. He took time to make sure everyone had a great time and was very accommodating of everyone’s requests. The property is beautiful and is right by the Yellowstone river. Kids had a great time sitting by the fire, fishing off the riverbank, and interacting with the animals. Joe was kind enough to even give us a basic fly fishing lesson.

Our experience with this property was amazing and our host was above excellent. Joe is so knowledgeable about the area and helpful. Such a kind and considerate man. We experienced above average hot weather during our stay and our only thought might have been was to have a screen door added to the outside door to keep the evening air circulating and the bugs and critters out when we were inside sleeping or playing our games at the table. We really did enjoy our days and evenings at Querencia and this may have been one of our favorite family vacations yet. Keep up the great work Joe and if ever our way, please let us know, we’d love to show you around our countryside.

Great location relative to airport and Yellowstone National Park. Our host Joe and Cullen were very helpful to find the authentic Montana experience for seeing wildlife, hikes and fishing. We loved the outdoor fire pit after a long day. The scenery at the lodge was breath taking. Thank you for making our family trip that much more special!

Perfect Family Reunion Spot

Great location, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and ample space for our family of 16+ to share a long overdue reunion. We enjoyed coffee in the cool mornings on the porch in the provided Querencia Lodge robes, the fire pit in the evening, walks to the nearby Yellowstone River, local hikes and trips to Livingston (highly recommend Coffee Crossing, Elemental Kitchen and Katabatic Brew Pub). Joe Skaggs, the owner, was a great host; unobtrusive but readily available onsite to help with questions when needed. He graciously allowed our dogs to be in the house with us, and accommodated them in his adjacent (very quiet) kennels when we took a couple of day trips. It is a unique property, combining the comforts of home in rustic surroundings.

The Montana experience!

Querencia, Paradise Valley and the Yellowstone River did not disappoint! This property was exactly what we were looking for when we started planning our trip out west! From the location to the hospitality, Querencia is the place for big families and all ages. Joe had all the secret local knowledge and was more than welcoming! We recommend this property to anyone looking to spend time in Yellowstone and Bozeman while also enjoying the stunning land that is Montana! Thank you, Joe and thank you, Querencia!

Paradise Valley

Querencia Lodge is ideally situated for fly fishers interested in YNP, the upper Yellowstone River, the Boulder, the Gallatin, the Madison and all the smaller creeks in those drainages. It's a hop/skip/jump to the Paradise Valley Spring Creeks. The fly shop just up the road in Emigrant, Angler's West, is top notch. Joe Skaggs is a marvelous host, former guide, and world class dog trainer who is a font of wisdom, counsel, and great ideas for places to go and things to do. The views of the Gallatins, Absarokas, and Beartooths are spectacular, as are the sunrises and sunsets. There is a resident raven and the aerial battles between ospreys and bald eagles are epic. Joe owns some amazing retrievers and bird dogs, but his special pet is Lady Grizz, his cat! The lodge is a great place to stay and to hang out, very comfortable. The fire pit is fun too! You can walk down to the Yellowstone and throw a line if you wish! Our group of eight would love to come back!

Breathtaking 360 Panoramic Views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Querencia in Paradise Valley. The house has plenty of space to enjoy gatherings or have privacy. The kitchen is more than adequately appointed with anything you could ever think to need. The outside space is perfectly set up with decks and a stone fire pit. Joe and Mike's hospitality is incredible. They are there to help connect you with any type of activity or guide you're looking for. We did do a float on the river with Joe which was wonderful. My husband coordinated with a Fly Fishing instructor and caught lots of fish!! There are no words to describe the views from this amazing lodge. The ever changing light from the early hours of the day on into the evening that reflects against the backdrop of the Mountains and the valley leading up to them is just jaw dropping. There is no other place like it. We will definitely be back.

Another visit to one of our favorite places.

This is a very comfortable house in an ideal location .jorvmakes a huge effort to offer suggestions and attend immediately to any small issues that may arise. Well equipped with Leicester linens on comfortable beds. Eating outdoors in the evening surrounded by Mountain View’s cannot be beaten.

Just PERFECT! We felt like we visited a friend that we already miss.

When you think Montana, you think of a lodge out in the middle of nowhere. This is it! It’s about 15 minutes to Chico Hot Springs one way, Livingston another and Gardiner south. We enjoyed all three. The lodge and the surroundings are all just beautiful. The owner operates a dog kennel on the property and has chickens. The children especially enjoyed the dogs. We enjoyed Joe, the owner. We also enjoyed the fresh eggs he brought in daily. It was a very short walk to the Yellowstone River and beautiful scenery all around with two or three different mountain ranges. We loved the decor of the lodge. Everything we needed was right there. I hope to be able to stay there again next year. Tell Joe hello for me!!!

Our perfect place for a family get together

What a great time was had by all. We are an extended family who enjoy getting together every year and this is the best there is for us. Everyone has a comfortable bed and easy access to a bathroom. We can take our beloved pets who usually have to stay in a kennel at home. This is our second stay at Querencia and we plan to return again next year. We take turns making dinner. Every adult gets to cook their favorite one night. Joe who is an excellent cook is available if needed. There is access to a river boat trip if one wants. Either MIke or Joe is a great guide if you want to get on the river. The river is closeby , walking distance, and the fishing is good. One of our party flies drones and there is a clutterless field for him to fly in...no telephone wires, no trees, very clear. I can't say enough good about the lodge with Joe and Mike looking after our welfare. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped.

Family Vacation

These were excellent accommodations for my family of 9 to visit Yellowstone and explore and hike the local area. Gorgeous location, western decor, well appointed and delightful, laid back hosts Joe & Mike. The only improvement would be a "woman's touch" to better organize the kitchen particularly. All in all, a great vacation!

Beautiful lodge with great views. Our family of 16, including 2 small children, enjoyed our time together. Plenty of room to eat, sleep, and mingle. Teenagers & young adults especially liked the campfire each evening. Close enough to Chico to make several trips a day (just make sure to get a wristband for re-entry at the hot springs). Host Mike was very friendly and accommodating. Only complaint is that I spent a couple hours cleaning the kitchen upon arrival ... but, all in all, a great experience. Would like to go back during the summer to explore more outside, walk the trail to river, etc.

Exceeded all expectations!

The drive in was beautiful and from the moment we arrived we felt at home. Mike was so helpful and the house was fully equipped with everything we needed. We got groceries in Livingston, which is only 15 minutes away, and the kitchen was fully stocked with really nice dishes, pots and pans. The fireplace was going when we got there and the house is very warm with heated floors as well. Each bedroom has it's own sink and entrance, and they all have a beautiful view. We brought our 2 dogs and they LOVED it. The entire yard is fenced in and the river is literally a 3 minute walk. We can't wait for our next trip to the cabin- we will DEFINITELY be back!

Beautiful, Fun Family Vacation

Our family of 12 people of various ages had a great week at the Querencia Lodge. We sure weren’t ready to go when the week was up. We are planning to come back next year for a longer stay. We liked that we had access to the Yellowstone River where several people caught large Brown Trout. A special treat was having our pets with us. They loved the mountains and were able to run free and there was no threat of them running off. Joe, the proprietor, had chickens and dogs that were entertaining for the children. The kitchen outfitted superbly. Any gourmet cook would be happy the variety of pots and pans and appliances. We used the picnic tables and grills when we ate outside. The rooms are all large and well appointed and there’s plenty of bathrooms. The entire lodge is clean, rustic, and very comfortable. Joe is always there to help with any problems that might come up. We were very close to Chico Hot Springs and went there several times, plus Yellowstone Park was just a short drive. Being fairly close to the grocery stores in Livingstone was a big help, too. We had a great view of the gorgeous mountains. We highly recommend Q Lodge for a relaxing vacation for families.
