This cottage was perfect for us! We have family that camps at Pine Creek every year and we were able to come and go so quickly and easily and Chico is just down the road. The views are spectacular and we will definitely stay agin.
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was a pleasure waking up to mountain views and the resident cows, and seeing incredible stars at night. The property was clean and had everything we needed. Its location was convenient to many local restaurants and entertainment options, and about a one hour to the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
This property was amazing! It was spotless and well stocked. The manager was easy to communicate with. Bonus points for the herd of elk that ran through the field one morning!
Paradise Valley is following the Yellowstone river and is 45 minutes to Yellowstone National Park.
Amanda was great for meeting all our needs! Would definitely stay again!
We had a wonderful stay in Livingston at this beautiful little home! It was close to everything we needed yet was completely private and peaceful.
The owners have done an excellent job of creating a warm welcoming space.

The Little House is a gem. Beautiful space, stunning views, breathtaking ranch, great communication
The best. Can’t wait to get back. The central location made it so easy to get to Chico Hot Spring, Sage Ranch, Yellowstone, Livingston and Bozeman. Probably the best and most memorable house rental of my life. If I could have given this place 6 stars or more, I would! Thanks Amanda and all for making our 5 nights in Montana the trip of a lifetime.

Beautiful!!!
We loved staying at the ranch cottage during our visit to Yellowstone. The surrounding views of the ranch and tall windows were perfect to come home and relax to. The surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous, and it was an easy trip to the park and to Livingston for a great dinner in town. We also enjoyed sitting out on the porch. The place was equipped with everything we needed. Would highly recommend for a couples retreat!

Beautiful Working Ranch
We loved staying at this beautiful working ranch on Fourth Of July. We attended a wedding at the Sage Lodge which was 17 mins down the road. This ranch is about 20mins from the main road so it is a bit of a drive from any local places. It was so nice having our own private area to ourselves surrounded by all the momma cows and babies with very scenic views. The little cottage had everything we needed. Highly recommended staying here if you want peaceful and private place to stay for your trip! Fairly reasonable price for the holiday weekend and the area!
Cottage is on a ranch with beautiful views of the mountains. Thoroughly enjoyed the privacy and the peace and quiet here. Could see lots of stars at night so bringing a telescope was great. There was plenty of room for 2 people and we were very comfortable staying here. There were 3 huge picture windows in living room which were spotless and where we could see the mountains and the starry night. There were outside chairs to enjoy the sunrise and sunsets as well as the peacefulness of the area. Thanks for making our Montana stay so wonderful.

First time booking a VRBO and the experience was amazing! Would recommend this cabin to anyone! The owners were very nice and helpful and the views were the best part!
Perfect property, great location to many beautiful places
This property was clean, at a great location and owners were friendly. We saw nightly sunsets and awesome early sunrises. It’s located on a working ranch and a perfect location to many places you’ll want to visit including Chico hot springs where you can get a great evening meal. National forest entrance is also on this road which is an amazing drive. The Old Saloon is close by and a must see along with the Wildflour bakery which is next door to the Old Saloon. They have the best pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Yellowstone is a beautiful 45 min or so drive. Many beautiful views along the road this property is on. Definitely will be back!
If you’re looking for a cozy little place with a scenic view this is the spot. A cozy little house that made our trip memorable. Even being rural as it was the WiFi was great. 10/10 would stay here again.
This is the perfect place for a couple to explore Paradise Valley, Yellowstone and the surrounding MT area. Fishing, hiking, Livingston, Bozeman all within easy reach. Clean, comfortable, QUIET!, views are spectacular and host is responsive, but lets you enjoy the peace and quiet of their ranch. We plan to be back. DM from SC

What a place to stay...
Perfect place to unwind. Isolated, quiet, peaceful.
The location was perfect! We were in town for a wedding in Livingston, so it was a short drive from there cottage to town. We also spent time in Yellowstone, which was about a 40 minute drive. Great views and hiking trails all around! Would definitely recommend this place and we would stay again!
Wish I could have stayed here every night of mt 2 week road trip!
Loved, Loved this place! Immaculate inside and out, in a awesome setting with spectacular vistas from every window! My only regret was that I only spent 2 nights here!
I purposely stayed my 2 afternoons so I could enjoy the cottage and its surroundings!
It was by far one of the best experiences we've had. Check-in process was super easy. The cottage was sparkling clean and smelled of fresh wood. Everything inside the cottage was well-thought and we enjoyed every second of our stay. The view outside the massive windows is very much relaxing and at night you can see the stars. 15-20 minutes to Livingston. 35-40 minutes to the north entrance to Yellowstone.
Perfect place for a couple looking for privacy and easy access to Paradise Valley, YNP, etc. Owners responsive to our one request for help. Beautiful views, wildlife in the yard. We have been in PV 4 summers in a row and this was our best place to stay yet.
