Yellowstone Riverfront- private fishing access with AC YELLOWSTONE RIVER HOUSE: Relax in our wonderful home on the banks of the Yellowstone River, made even more comfortable in 2023 with new central heating and air conditioning! Our house is the perfect home base for hiking and day trips to magnificent Yellowstone National Park (40 min), Livingston, Bozeman and surrounding areas! Other popular things to do include visiting nearby Chico Hot Springs resort for a soak and swim, horseback riding, and award-winning restaurant meals in both the saloon and fine dining restaurant (8 miles away). It's also a perfect fishing retreat, with our own shore of the "wild and scenic" Yellowstone River only steps away. [Note that the river level varies according to the season: highest during the Spring as it swells with mountain snow-melt and lowest (but still great for fishing) in the late summer and early autumn when the beach area is broader and you can walk along it beside the river.] After the Spring run off and silt subsides (usually around mid June to July), the fishing is great right behind the house! You can walk out the door and down the small hill in the back yard to the water's edge. There are several boat launches nearby as well. (You can book guided rafting or guided fishing excursions or just rent watercraft locally to explore on your own.)Inside the air-conditioned main home, we have everything you could need for an amazing home away from home experience including an extremely well-equipped kitchen, high quality bedding and high speed internet. Make this home yours for family reunions, hunting trips, fishing adventures or quiet wildlife viewing any time of year.Enjoy the views of the Gallatin Peaks and Absaroka mountains from the wrap around porch (with gas BBQ grill). Take in the sunset over the river right from the comfort of the deck. This open concept home lends itself to entertaining groups large and small. Comfy furniture and stocked kitchen give you everything you need for sharing a truly wonderful vacation experience with your friends and family. This property consists of an air-conditioned main house and a close-by detached guest studio apartment with a kitchenette. (The guest house is not air-conditioned, but has screened windows to let in the cool evening air.) (Both houses are provided to every group at no extra charge.) This guest house is a wonderful amenity for a bit more privacy for two people. The main house has three bedrooms. The two main floor bedrooms have queen sized beds with luxury bedding. The third bedroom is a large loft with two twin beds and one queen bed. There are two bathrooms within the main house, and both were beautifully remodeled and reconfigured in 2022. Both the main house and the guest house have their own washer/dryer. The kitchen is well stocked with herbs, spices, olive oil, baking supplies and condiments. We even have a few cookbooks in case you need a bit more inspiration! We know how challenging new environments can be with kids, so we have a pack 'n play, high chair and kid friendly cups, plates, bowls and cutlery. The house is complete with paper products for your stay as well as body wash in the showers and laundry detergent. In case you forgot your hairdryer, we have that too!You'll find the living room bookshelves stocked with guidebooks and local information to help guide your vacation planning. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the nearby guest house with its King sized bed, kitchenette, private bath and second washer and dryer. All with a river view as well.There is a wonderful lawn for yard games, relaxing after a long day or playing with the kids. You might also like to make s'mores as you sit around the fire pit in the back yard, just a short walk downhill closer to the river. We do provide some seasonal firewood, but we also recommend grabbing some at a convenience store on your way since it can run out during busy seasons.In Gardiner, about 40 minutes south, you can book and depart on group rafting trips on the Yellowstone River. Both whitewater and gentle water options are available. Large and scenic Daley Lake (15 miles away) has sandy beaches and is great for boating, fishing and swimming! Or take the gorgeous 5 mile hike to Pine Creek Lake from the nearby trailhead (starts easy, becomes moderate, and then moderate-strenuous, but the path is a good one and well marked.) Views along the trail are breathtaking and the lake itself is a gorgeous idyllic jewel ringed by peaks, and flows into a waterfall below. Pine Creek Cafe is a great spot for breakfast and they also have an evening music venue. We are located just 40 minutes north of the iconic original stone archway that is the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park, in Gardiner, MT. The drive there itself is an experience where you will see bald eagles, elk, deer, and even a bison or two along the banks of the Yellowstone. And that's all before you get to the park! This north entrance takes you up to Mammoth Hot Springs where you can explore the boardwalks through the famous expansive travertine-limestone terraces created over thousands of years, as geothermal water has gently flowed over the hillside leaving ever-changing colorful mineral deposits. From there head east to Tower Falls and the wildlife of the Lamar Valley, or south toward a series of geyer basins that include Old Faithful, Yellowstone's most famous geyser (erupting several times per day) plus hundreds of other amazing geysers, mud pots, and colorful pools, viewable from extensive boardwalks. Or walk the rim of the deep and beautiful Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and view its majestic waterfalls from the Inpiration Point and Artist's Point viewing platforms. Take a boat ride or swim on the sandy beaches of huge Yellowstone Lake, the source of the mighty untamed Yellowstone River. View the bison and elk herds in Lamar Valley, along the Madison River and throughout the park in this huge natural preserved ecosystem that is unique in the world.This home is just a short 10+ minute drive to Chico Hot Springs resort. Chico is famous for its healing natural hot springs, lively bar with live music and more recently, its amazing wedding venue which operates all year long. Stay with us if you want more space for yourself but you'll still have the luxury of heading there for a soak, drinks and dancing at the bar or evening out at their award winning world class restaurant. The Old Saloon is open for business in Emigrant across the river. This landmark in the town of Emigrant has been serving up cocktails since 1902. Locals and visitors alike are welcome and find it a great place to celebrate the heritage of the old west. Its a great place for live music all summer long. Serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sage Lodge is also roughly 15 minutes away. This is another luxury wedding venue with a full restaurant that is open year round. All this is just an hour drive from the Big Sky/Bozeman International Airport. The drive is straightforward and easy to navigate. Just follow the river up stream to this piece of heaven in Paradise Valley. Remember, this is Montana and you are in the Rocky Mountains, so while roads are maintained year round, choose an appropriate all wheel drive vehicle for fall and winter travel. It can snow here at just about any time of year! The Yellowstone River House is a great location if you are coming to Montana during fall or winter hunting seasons, as well as for winter snowmobiling, or animal viewing in any season. Visitors to Yellowstone National Park enjoy fewer crowds and more wildlife in the less visited seasons of Fall through Spring. Any season is a great time to visit. This north entrance of Yellowstone Park is the only park entrance that is open year-round and plowed for normal vehicles. All other entrances close to normal vehicles for the winter season, from November through April 21.
