Montana Getaway

Montana is truly a magnificent state to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed Bryan’s cabin and only had to hop in the car for minutes to fish the Yellowstone River, grab a coffee at Chico Hot Springs or get some BBQ in Emigrant. It’s also very close to the north entrance of Yellowstone. We cannot wait to return one day…thanks Bryan for a fantastic stay!

Peaceful Retreat

We loved staying at the Placer cabin. Rich in history and beauty, and convenient to everything Paradise Valley has to offer. While we enjoyed exploring, we found ourselves eager to get back to the cabin to enjoy the front porch and take in the views. Bryan is a wonderful host. We will definitely return!

Wonderful stay

We loved our stay. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. It was located very close to the Chico hot springs that are very nice to soak in after a day of hiking in Yellowstone. We also took a nice walk up the road to the waterfall that was absolutely beautiful.

remote farm house

The remoteness of this house was what we were looking for. You could hear the creek which ran next to the house even with the widows closed.The log interior was a nice piece of history along with the papers found during the renovation. Thanks for a memorable stay.

Great secluded location just outside Yellowstone yet close enough to town. Very cozy home away from home. Has everything you need. Awesome sounds of the creek just steps outside the back windows.

Perfect getaway

The property was perfect for our family. The boys loved that they had their own space and separate beds upstairs. It was great to have a full kitchen to do evening meals at home and breakfast in the morning. Kitchen stocked with essentials. The location was great, beautiful mountain views. Took a nice walk up the road and it is so serene and peaceful. It was conveniently located 45 min from Yellowstone park. Hope we can visit again.

My daughter and I spent a long weekend at the cabin. It is very peaceful and quiet. The creek that runs behind the property adds to the property's country feel. We will definitely try to plan another long weekend at Placer Cabin. I had an issue with my car and Brian had someone there within 20 minutes to help me. Thank you, Brian!

Historic paradise!

I can’t praise this rental enough. Built in the 1800s this home is a gem and rests along a singing creak. There is a hike up to a waterfall close by and hot springs 2min down the road. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is very well stocked. I really hope we can make it back again. Brian and Sally are incredibly warm hearted host!

One word: amazing!

Our stay at Placer cabin was just that - amazing! Brian was very communicative & stopped in a couple of times to check on us and educate us on the area. Beautiful location for our family of 4 to enjoy the park, but also just enjoy the area itself. We traveled from states away but felt right at home with all of Brian's attention to detail. If we are ever in Montana again, we would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Brian!

Soothing

This was our second stay at the home. We fell in love with it the first time and enjoyed coming back. Soothing, relaxing, peaceful, quiet, and functional. Well stocked. Love the exposed logs. Updates are great. Powerful shower, nice to have 2 bathrooms. Brian is sooooo responsive. He answers questions immediately and stopped by when we had trouble with WIFI. Use the instructions in the home, not on VRBO. Highly recommend.

Best vacation ever

We loved staying in this cabin. The views were amazing and the cabin was perfect. I wish we had more time. We definitely didn't want to go home. We enjoyed the little towns near by and the hot springs down the road that had great food and service. We were on a road trip through 12 states and the 4 days here were our favorite by far. We were able to enjoy the local food around town and were able to make breakfast and bbq at the cabin. Brian was a very nice host and very friendly. Pretty decent price for everything you get to experience here and the memories made.

Would give a 10 star review if possible!

My family of 6 enjoyed their stay tremendously! Everything was perfect to say the least.. Such a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean, spacious & beautiful! The cabinets had plenty of dishes, cookware, silverware etc. (plus a bbq grill outside) They loved the creek running behind the house. Most nights were spent with the windows raised to hear the relaxing rushing water to go to sleep too. It was the perfect location.. The Hot springs at Chico is just down the road for family entertainment in the pool, food, or weekend night bands in the saloon for the adults. The landscape was beautiful of blooming flowers, and a big yard that my grandson's were playing catch ball in. The big front porch was a gathering place during the evenings with tables, chairs & rocking chairs. I highly recommend staying here! All you need is your clothes, (there is a washer and dryer by the way) snacks, & food for the fridge if you'd like. The local general store is just down the road for necessities that you may need, along with several other eateries & Yellowstone Park is just approximately 30 miles away. Thank you again host Brian.. everything was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Bryan

Host profile image
My name is Bryan and I have lived in Montana, in the Paradise Valley, for all of my adult life. When I am not exploring our property on Emigrant Creek with my faithful standard poodle and lovely wife, I am working in the Valley or Yellowstone National Park. I love this area and can give advice on where the best spots are.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I finished remodeling this cabin 2013. We thought it important to restore the logs on the inside for all to enjoy the rich history of the building. Here is where the hand work of generations past can be seen and appreciated.

What makes this property unique

The full length porch allows sitting and enjoying the cool breeze that always comes down the creek in the evenings. Our proximity to Chico Hot Springs is also a luxury with their fine dining and hot water spring pools for swimming.
