The location of this property was indescribably gorgeous! The home was exceptionally clean, the decor was quirky and fun; the beds were quite comfortable, and there was good communication with the host. The only significant negative was the restriction of not being able to walk on the roads around the property, due to “liability.” Seemingly, this stems from the house being located on a working ranch, but the fields were all fenced and the activity was minimal. That fact should be included in the description, as it resulted in walks with our dogs requiring a significant drive.

Enjoyed the property very much. Only a small glitch getting there the first time as the address given was incorrect, but once we got that figured out all was well.

Elbow Creek is the perfect place to stay for a family get away. The scenery is beautiful, the house is cozy and has room for everyone. There are several great things to do around the house to entertain a large group: ping pong, pool table, games, frisbee golf, board games. From the hot tub, you can view thousands of bright stars at night. Hiking trails and hot springs are close by and easy to get to. We can't wait to come back!

40th Anniversary in Paradise Valley

The house was comfortable and spacious. The yard and view were spectacular with the view of the valley and the surrounding mountains. It was 30 minutes to Livingston, a scenic drive. Also only 15 minutes to Chico and Emigrant which was very convenient.

Beautiful view, hidden spice rack

Amazing spot, only sad part of the trip is I drove to town to get salt, “a little upset that a rental that fancy didn’t come stocked with the basic spices”. But when I got back the house mates found the hidden door in the cabinet with everything i needed. Only mention it to hopefully keep someone from making the same needles trip in to town.

Perfect place for big family.

Loved, loved, loved our stay at Elbow Creek Retreat! There were 8 adults and an 19 month old spending 10 days. We were all in town for our son’s wedding at Stoneflower Wedding Venue, about 2 miles away. Couldn’t have been more convenient! House is so comfy, well equipped (even 2 porta-cribs). Spacious so we weren’t all crammed in. The views are incredible. And they do mean in the middle of a working cattle ranch. Herd hung out in pasture immediately behind backyard for a couple days. It was awesome. Checked them out but not too close and no, it wasn’t smelly in house because they were there!! Plenty of equipment/dishes in kitchen, plenty of huge towels. We also had our son’s dog with us. Loved the massive back yard ( as did our granddaughter) but it is not 100% fenced. We did fine because they stay close anyway. We absolutely recommend this lovely home to anyone looking for large home. 30 minutes north of Yellowstone north entrance. 20-25 minutes south of Livingston.

Large, quiet house in the country.

Our group of friends really enjoyed our stay here for a long weekend. The house is laid out kind of odd but it's very nice and nicely equipped.
