LUXURY MADISON RIVER FRONT LOG HOME - close to Yellowstone NP The Caddis Shack

FALL 2025 NOTE: We have some limited check-in/check-out dates open for late August 2025 and early September 2025 so please contact us for availability BEFORE requesting to book. During this time we will offer some 5-day stays when we are normally only Sat-Sat reservations. (This has to do with our housecleaners limited schedule during this period.

*LOCATED 25 MINUTES FROM WEST YELLOWSTONE
Map does show in town but we are actually outside of town on the Madison River. Yellowstone National Park and West Yellowstone are only 30 mi. away which is a short 25 min. drive.

FISH RIGHT FROM THE PROPERTY IN THE BEST WADE SECTION OF THE MADISON RIVER. OUR PROPERTY GOES TO THE WATER.

You will feel welcomed in our river front luxury log home! We built our custom home in 2014, it is 3800 sq. ft. which features 4 bedrooms (Incl. TWO MASTER SUITES), the 5th bedroom is a spacious loft, 3 full bathrooms and a game room with second living/bar area. Our home can sleep 10 people on 3 levels. The home sits on a one acre lot along the river and is just a short drive off the main road.

Home is furnished completely with locally made, custom Montana log and barn wood furniture. ALL BEDSPREADS, blankets and sheets, are professionally laundered after each guest! We are sure no other home in the area provides this service.

The great room overlooks the river and mountains with comfortable reclining sofas and chairs around a gas fireplace. The views are breathtaking! For the foodies, there is a fully-stocked chefs kitchen with large center island. Quality beds, pillows and linens are few things to make your stay very comfortable. Down by the river you will find a cozy fire pit with firewood and 10 Adirondack chairs for s'mores and stargazing. The deck has a Weber Genesis gas grill with tall bar table and a dining table and chairs. There are two sets of HE washers/dryers for convenience, all soaps and dryer sheets provided. We have taken great care to ensure you have all the comforts of home!

MAIN FLOOR: open kitchen, dining and great room, one master suite, two other guests bedrooms, a full bathroom and laundry area.
LARGE OPEN LOFT: has two twin beds with sitting area.
LOWER LEVEL/WALKOUT BASEMENT: second master suite and another living room/bar area with TV, space for all your fishing gear, rod and wader racks. Our concrete floors make it convenient for changing inside at night or when wet. Just off this room is a second set of laundry and a game room with foosball, ping pong, corn hole for outside, poker set and a large collection of board games.

There are many rivers and lakes nearby as well as Yellowstone, making this is the perfect home base to explore the area. Fish the Madison, Henry's Fork, Gallatin or rivers inside Yellowstone park. Hebgen Lake, Cliff and Wade lakes, Henry's Lake, Earthquake lake are all minutes away.

Enjoy the photos to get an idea of our home and area!

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to fish the Madison River since 2000. Over the years we have stayed in motels in West Yellowstone, brought our RV to West Yellowstone and rented homes along the river. We really wanted to have a home on the right water and offer it as a rental to others coming here. In 2012, we were able to buy this lot and finished building our custom log home in 2014. So much thought has gone into making this the best rental around. We used our experience as guests ourselves and provided what we felt all the others were missing. We want you to enjoy our home with family and friends, feel at peace listening to the river and taking in all Montana has to offer. It's the perfect getaway spot!!

What makes this property unique

Private fishing access from our waterfront home. Gorgeous Montana furnishings make our house feel like home. Close to the Park and many other local towns, rivers and lakes. The pictures don’t do it justice!
